➳ＢＲＩＤＧＥＴ
( bri ) ( female ) ( nineteen ) ( hummingbird )

usually, bridget was a good sleeper. but this morning, bri was as exhausted as could be. her blankets were on the floor in mangled shapes of shipwrecks, her hair was as tangled as a bird nest, and her eyes were as black and red as liquorice. things were not good for her.
bri fell off her bed in her screwed-up dreams, clutching a piece of the blanket like a life preserver. finally, she woke up when the sounds of banging rang in her ears. holding her hands to cover them, she got to her feet, brushing her teeth, pulling a brush reluctantly through her hair and throwing on some clothes, denim shorts and a t-shirt saying "kill me now!"
she rushed to the kitchen, her stomach grumbling for food. her hair was still a mess, but honestly, she didn't care. bri stuffed an apple in her mouth and tied her hair up, looking like a lady verison of the mad hatter with her skin unusually pale today.
"good morning!" she sang to the other two, smiling and laughing as she cut up her apple after finishing tying her hair. she loved to sing, and when she got the chance to, would sometimes play guitar and sing when no one was around. she loved those moments when she was alone playing, but she was scared to voice her talent in case she seemed like a show-off. being scared wasn't normal for bri, but it was a secret she was willing to keep until someone pushed her to the limits and made her. bri hated being forced to do something, so whoever tried to get that out of her would have a lot of trouble doing it.

Dorian was startled awake at the sound of his roommate thunking around the room like an elephant. He squeezed his eyes a little tighter closed and rolled over onto his stomach, shoving his face in the pillow and stifling a quiet groan. He did not like mornings. When he finally decided to pull his face out of the pillow, he cracked open one bleary eye just in time to see Cas tiptoeing from the room - well, trying to tiptoe. That guy did not know the meaning of 'quiet'. He wondered for a moment if Cas even know how loudly he snored. Luckily Dorian was a fairly deep sleeper.

He flipped back over onto his back and silently argued with himself over getting up or sleeping, and eventually decided - reluctantly - to get out of bed. He rolled off the bed and swung his legs over the side onto the cold floor, making the whole event three times more of a chore than it actually was. He yawned, stretched, and grabbed a random shirt from the pile of crunched-up clothing he'd carelessly tossed into the corner. A nice, simple grey thing. Perfect. He tugged it on over his tracksuit pants that he'd slept in and made his way to the door, not bothering to make his bed. He was only going to come back tonight and mess it up anyway, what was the point?

Dorian left the cabin and shut the door behind him. He stood on the porch, taking in the fresh morning air and considering the temptation to shift into his marten form and go for a wander. He noticed others starting to emerge from their cabins and decided against it, realising how hungry he was anyway. He headed for the kitchens, knowing for a fact he'd find Casper in there somewhere.

kali didn't get much sleep. as she was primarily "nocturnal." to
make it worse kali's heart almost exploded from her chest when
she heard a roar. she let out a sigh but her eyes remained closed.
kali heard some scuffling of items and footsteps, but payed no
mind to it.

minutes passed. kali was still in her bed, an arm hung over
her pale face. this girl didn't feel so good. kali managed to drag her arm back down, and it flopped to her side, revealingdark, baggy eyes. she felt really lazy. a huff escaped from her nostrils, and she pushed herself upwards. after fidgeting with hher maroon, buttoned pajamas, she leapt out of her bed sheets, landing with a thump.

kali stretched her arms outwards, and parted her lips in a long, deep yawn. she made her way towards her drawer while rubbing her tired eyes. she stared at the mirror before here. her hair was tied back in a ponytail, but it wasn't too messy. a few strokes of a hairbrush would do her good. kali blinked and realized she was being carried away. she shook her head and then pulled out the first things she saw. a pale minty green shirt and medium length shorts.

Brendon layed outside his cabin, resting his head on his spotted paws. He growled as he slept, a stick jabbing at his side. Ozzy slowly opened his eyes to the dull, shining sun. He slowly got up, stretching in a cat-like way. Brendon nudged his way into his cabin, hoping not to wake Alyx. He walked into his room, quickly shifting into his human form. He changed into jeans and nirvana t-shirt. Brendon exited his room and the cabin, searching for the cabin and going to the kitchen and making some coffee. He poured the coffee in the mug, looking at the other people in the kitchen - Caspar, Ava, Bridget, and Dorian, all together. "Good morning." He purred, sounding groggy. Ozzy ran a hand through his chocolate brown hair as he took a sip from the steaming mug. He set the mug down, looking at the others. "Coffee, anyone?" Ozzy asked around, glancing at each one of them. He leaned on the table, sighing. He lifted the mug to his lips, sipping the hot liquid.

alyx didn't snore or talk in his sleep, no.
alyx sang in his sleep.
and for a buck, his singing wasn't all that bad.
like usual, he slept in rather late. it wasn't that he was a deep sleeper, he was just lazy. i suppose it made sense, being a buck and all- he had to be alert.
when ozzy exited the cabin, alyx's head snapped in his direction, and alyx let out a groan. "ughh.." he whined. he nearly asked for five more minutes until he remembered something. quickly, he uncurled (yes, it was an odd position for the buck) and gathered clothes, quickly putting them on. he rehearsed what he was to say many times in his head, and smirked as he did. oh, alyx, you are so clever. after putting on his clothes, which were a plain t-shirt and jeans, he bounded outside rushing into the kitchen.
as he burst in rather anti-climactically, he caught his breath. he held up one finger, as though to tell them to wait, and rubbed his head. "dear lord, i don't have what i used to." after catching his breath he cleared his throat and walked up to bri. "hey girl, are you a bird cause you're pretty fly." smiling to himself like an idiot, alyx then stumbled over to a cabinet, shoving cereal in his face. after swallowing, he addressed bri. "sorry, i just thought of it last night," then leaning on the counter, continued the eating of cereal.

xxx miles was a light sleeper, even in his sleep he was alert. it was his nature to be like that. it was a bit rare for him to have a truly deep sleep. he frowned hearing the birds chirping outside the cabin. oh just be quiet already birds he muttered holding the pillow over his head trying to block out the birds. he finally sat up failing and groaned quietly before standing up and quietly walking out the door of the cabin, closing it quietly to not disturb his roommate.
xxxhe stretched his arms and yawned looking around at the other cabins, some were departing from it and he saw some people walking around. he guessed that most of them were in the kitchen already. a small smile crept on his lips at the thought of food since he was hungry and he walked towards it. the scent of coffee greeted him as he opened the door. morning guys, how were your nights? he said smiling at them, he headed towards the apples on the side and grabbed one taking a bite out of it. it was good, nice and juicy. he heard ozzy talk. may I have some coffee?

maisie roamed around on the sand for a few feet before sitting down, ignoring the fact that she was probably going to have sand in her shorts. she was going to have to get over it, though, considering the fact that this was her home and she was going to live here probably forever. plus, these clothes were just she sleeping ones - a big t-shirt and some comfortable shorts - so it's not like she was too concerned about what the sand would do them.

the woman listened to the sound of the waves lightly crashing against the sand before she heard another sound. the sound of someone else walking on the sand. she internally groaned because, really, out of the whole island someone had to come this close to her? she took a glance over her shoulder, having to blow some hair out of her way to see, and almost rolled her eyes when she saw it just had to be her roommate. it was bad enough they had to share a room. this alice girl rubbed maisie the wrong way, made her feel suspicious of what her intentions were.

"am i just that amazing of a roommate that you feel the need to follow me wherever i go?" she asked in a sarcastic tone, arching up one of her eyebrows.

Ava saw more people go inside the room and she hurried to finish her food. Ava then took her plates one by one and washed them. Then she grabbed a mug and didn't ask ozzy for coffee but she just extended her hand to signal him to give her coffee. She smiled at him and noticed the pitcher next to him. She grabbed for it and she pour some in her mug.Then she went back to push in her chair and she walked out the door. She started waking downstairs to the living room. She managed to catch to sip her coffee in peace. She decided to take the coffee mug back upstairs and washed it and came back down and walked out the door. She went to her room real quick, and saw her roommate already up. She walked in and grabbed a bottle of water from the big box of water. She smiled at Kali, since she was in a good mood at the moment. She walked through the base of the cabins and walked toward the beach. She was going on her morning run and saw a few people out there already. She took off her shoes and she started running on the beach and then she decided to go explore in the jungle. She then put her shoes back on and thought to herself that she wanted to see the left side of the jungle. She turned into a panther and started exploring away. She found a tree near the beach and decided to climb it and stare at the ocean. She enjoyed the view.

Brendon looked at Miles, who had just spoken, asking for some of the coffee. He nodded, grabbing a cup out of the pantry and pouring the coffee into it. Ozzy handed the steaming mug to Miles, keeping a straight face. Setting it down as Ava grabbed it, he asked a question, "Anyone else? Before I drink the rest?" He said, holding the glass container that held the now warm liquid. Brendon slowly lifted the container to his mouth. "Last chance, guys! Before I down the whole thing." He said, tilting his head back as he held the container a few inches above his mouth. Ozzy waited for a reaction as he tipped the container so that the drink came out of the black nozzle.

Dorian made his way over to the kitchen, walking across the grass barefoot. The dew soaked the bottom of his pants and his feet were freezing, but he actually kind of enjoyed it. He loved the feeling of being outdoors in the morning; the crisp air, the cool breeze, the quiet. He passed by a cabin on the way and noticed a cheetah dozing out the front. Brendon, he assumed to himself as he tiptoed past as quietly as he could.

He continued on his way to the kitchen, passing a few other cabins and seeing a few others make their way to the same location. When he arrived, he opened the big doors to the kitchen and was slightly surprised to see how many people were already in there. "Oh," he said in surprise. "Good morning, everyone."

He scanned the faces of the group, giving anyone he accidentally made eye contact with a friendly smile. He headed towards the bench and, rather than stopping at the coffee machine, passed by completely and boiled the kettle instead. He took out a mug for himself and dumped in a teabag and a spoonful of sugar. He grabbed another mug from the cupboard and turned around, waving it around slightly. "Tea, anyone?" he asked the group.
