Unfortunately the strange man went a little unnoticed by Shouyin. He'd seen the fellow not long before, and just because he was wet now didn't make much of a difference. Sadly he'd tucked the jewel of the necklace into his shirt, and probably wouldn't have noticed the glow anyways, or just assumed it was because Leviathan was in the city, which he'd already concluded.
No, barely a glance would be spared the prey as green eyes fell upon that woman once more. Black diamond in the rough, apparently too pure (or maybe too dark) to be offered the blind adoration of the masses. Like the deity that can only observe and not be observed in kind, speaking words that can't be heard.
Shou coughed, his thoughts were getting all poetic again, it was distracting.
Tentatively, he'd make his way towards her table, eyes focused ahead with Sokugoku spread out.

HEAVEN OR HELL!
Rumors are running wild, and already, fighters from around the globe have started preparations in order to join this unique event! After quite a glorious 2006 edition, the tournament is back with more than ever to be the greatest happening of the year!
This year, to make the administrative process easier, simpler and faster, as well as to allow a wider range of fighters into the tournament, the HoH "07 organizers have decided to offer, for a limited time, a special pre-registration discount! Indeed, by presenting yourself at one of our pre-registration booths located in main gatherings for fighters of all kinds, you get a 25% discount coupon and a reserved spot into the HoH roster!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL PLANNING ON PARTICIPATING!
... or so said the flyers that seemed to spread like early snow through the town. Dead in the middle of the city, in the public gathering area, was indeed a Heaven or Hell booth. Nothing all that fancy, to tell the truth. Three little girls that couldn't be older than 7 were tending a table under a tent, complete with a large banner. The girls all looked like identical twins, short blue hair, large blue eyes, pale skin and dresses of blue and silver decorated by numerous ribbons and frills. On the table was a pile of registration forms and a pencil, but the coupons were hidden from view. form ONE FORM PER MEMBER, FOUR FORMS PER TEAM.
Name:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Short description of your fighting style:
(Please include the style's goal and philosophy, as well as it's main focuses, fighting-wise)

Maximos Shouyin OOC: Maybe it's 'cause the entire city's named after him; I'unno though, this argument junk seems a little pointless. ((I dont have to say a word. S'right there.))
((The town was so not named AFTER Enki... Vahn chose the name... if you recall, the villagers there had no clue who Enki was I guess until the "incident" at Feimurgen...))
*Enki turns, now very much wet, and walks a bit from the shore. He still has the hotel room in the hotel and figures he'd go there to change. A glance to his left makes him spot a woman, both standing out, yet hiding within the mass of people surrounding the port. She was watching him. Something tells Enki there was more going on then he'd preffer, but he'd rather change before delving any further into this. He gives the woman once glance, then walks in the direction of the hotel*

((Do I really need to go through all the Leviathan Stadium pages and pull out each and every time you let someone call you Latent in the stadium, and make up an NPC for EACH time? I mean really...? Is this debate going to change...anything?))
::The womans eyes never met Enki's, she had watched him be splashed and found it amusing and simply took in the beach. Her eyes slanted down toward the ground below her, at the wonderful shadow playing games across the beach, she had just the slightest smirk on her face. As if it was complete innocence and yet ungodly maleficence. Its was the sort of smirk that could either end the world, or flood a heart with passion.
She seemed coyly unaware of Shouyins presence thought it was his shadow that played along the sand, it practiced various fighting katra's and stances, showing of many of the moves it had come to learn from its owner. It never actually rose up off the ground, but instead the sand was like screen in which she the puppeteer could watch the puppets play. And she so deeply enjoyed it.::

The good old fasioned TV store front window, a staple of movies and such. Many boob-tubes of various sizes, all lined up and displaying the soft glow of televison joy. Of course, the news was always playing on these sets, and nobody really knows why... News ... Week two of the Saint Agrippina crisis rages on. For those just tuning in the overlook city has been completely overrun by strange creatures in a matter of days. Slow reaction time to the crisis is blamed on the Agrippina government who simply assumed this was somehow related to the recent zombie threat in Ymiristan. Regular zombie combat measures failed, and a full evacuation of the city began. Most citizens fled to West Fall City, or remained to undergo intense training as part of the Agrippina Defence Force. Stranger still, some chose to remain behind in the city and rumours are circulating that they are assisting the monsters that have taken over the city. The ADF recommends if you know someone who has remained in the city to cut off all contact with them. In a suprise event the Alpha through Epsilon Corporation pledged support to the ailing city. "The ADF has a noble goal of containing and eventually eliminating this strange new occurrence," A representative from the company told Gaia 9 Action News, "And if the threat is not contained, it could very well spread and endanger much more. Alpha through Epsilon has a duty to our employees and customers to maintain their safety." The company had a laboratory in the city and has now pledged medical, construction and combat technology. Now in lighter news...

"Interesting," Dr. Orderly said over the phone in his hotel room, "So they actually took a short cut on the environmental protection water purification sytem and just allowed the most minimally basic filtered sewage to be dumped directly into the sea. Give me the location of the sewage outlet, I want to check something."
A few kilometers north of Latent, a sewer pipe would be transporting the poorly filtered sewage directly into the ocean. A combination of residential and residential sewage from the city flowing directly into the ocean. Dr. Orderly set up a tent by the sewage outlet. They waisted no time, testing the ocean as planned using coral and sponge to absorb the waters where the pollution met the ocean. His staff would be attempting to gather samples along the shore as well. The theory was that the chemicals in the water would draw in these little buggers that were cleaning up the ocean.

Shou frowned. He had no idea what she was up to, looking past him like that, and was in no mood to follow her gaze and have another shadow thing attack him while he was unawares. Damn women and their tricks.
Running a finger along the back of his neck to adjust the necklace, he put both hands in his jeans pockets, thumbs hanging out, and approached her slowly, leaning over a little. He'd basically be approaching her from the northeast, if whatever way her torso was facing was north.
"... 'Lo?"

KillerSumo The theory was that the chemicals in the water would draw in these little buggers that were cleaning up the ocean. ::The theory couldnt have been more wrong. He would arrive to find that the "Sewage Outlet", had been crimped and welded shut. Like someone actually squeezed it flat, and then sealed it that way. Evidence showed this wasnt freshly done either. That evidence being the bones partially buried by the tide, and partially still exposed. Human bones, of human workers...the bones were spotless as if they were cleaned. The water here was a bit darker than the water at latent. Should the scientists still choose to examine farther, it would be at their own risk.:: ---- ::She delayed a bit in responding, just a few extra seconds to let the Shadow Shouyin finish his kata before the shadow zipped back under the half golem himself. And then her dark eyes and pale face gently rose, along with both her cheeks greeting Shouyin with a innocent smile. Yet, true to her form and design, being both of shadow and feminine make up she would prove to be quite mysterious. She wouldnt introduce herself formally or state a word about whatever she knew if anything. She just smiled, and slid a wandering stran of her curled and flowing black locks back behind her ear. And spoke, in voice as smooth as flowing silk, yet as beautiful and inviting as a black rose.:: Hello.

"Miss," his head would nod forwards, fingers coming up to tip an invisible hat 'pon his forehead. It was the best he could pull off at the moment, she had a certain allure that made him feel all awkward and uncomfortable. It wasn't as much some romantic thing, as flatout -lust-. He wanted her, and all the guilt that feeling brought wasn't helping for his composure.
Taking a brief moment of opportunity to test some of those new abilities, he'd try to 'scan' her with his whole Shadow awareness bit. He still wasn't sure how to work it exactly, but he was confident he could make a reasonable observation without having to squint all queer like Superman and his x-ray vision.
Regardless of the results, he'd take out his right hand, motioning to a seat across from her.
"Mind if I sit down?"

::Shouyin just had that look on his face that made her laugh, a small gentle laugh as she brought her hand up to just slightly cover her mouth so as to keep the veneer of civility. And as she quited down her hand gently slid to the side of her face as her elbow came to rest on the table top, and her chin ever so carefully rested on the palm of her hand.::
Not at all...
::She said as her eyes met Shouyin's. Her gaze was unrelenting. It was as if she was ever so softly staring directly into and through him, but she didnt have an intense gaze on her face...just a soft innocent smile. As Shouyin moved to sit down, she leaned ever so slightly, so as to make full use of the table, and at the same time push the dresses ability to cover her...assests adequately. A lesser man would be praying that the wind would blow just a fraction harder...and blow her top just an inch to the...but those eyes. She never once broke contact with Shouyin's eyes.
His scan would reveal that shadows were indeed being played with. Her dress and somehow something inside her seemed to be brimming with Shadow arcana. It wasnt something that could be seen as much as it could be felt. As for reading her shadow however...she seemed to be quite without one at the moment.::

OOC: Writer's block, oh dear God writer's block.
IC: Shouyin half-laughed with her, trying to ease his nerves by attempting to get in on her inside joke, even if it was at his expense. He'd take his seat, leaning over with elbows on the table, blinking rapidly as his eyes chose the worst time to water up under the pressure of the staring contest they had going on, and that whole 'Gawd she's barely wearing anything' feeling that beat the Hell out of his stomach.
"I saw you before, outside the bar," he paused, looking at his hands and scratching something on his palm before looking back to her, "with those two fellows." Satisfied with his statement, he leaned back in the chair, hands clasped and resting above his navel.
"Safe to assume you're not on my side?"

((Take your time, take your time. No rush Shou. xd ))
Mmmm...indeed...
::The word just rolled off her tongue with effortless grace. Her eyes shifted down, sizing him up, or checking him out, before meeting his again.::
I was mesmerized by you in combat with those horrible men. So I stood to watch...I hope you didnt mind.
::She gently tilted her head, her coy smile flattening into a look of innocent confusion with his final statement.::
Side? Side of what?
::She said with a most innocent tone as if she had no idea who or what poor Shouyin was talking about. Maybe she did. Or maybe she just enjoyed every second she could slow him down from his quest.::

A kid walks through the streets in the southern section of the southern Outer City. He is not paying much attention to what is going on around him, like he is daydreaming or something.
He wears a black turtleneck and a brown pair of heavy duty pants that appear to be made out of some sort of light canvas material. The pants are full of pockets that are all over it though most seem to be entirely empty. The boy wears a pair of heavy duty boots that make a heavy tromping sound as he walks; they also serve to make him look a few inches taller than he really is. The boy had short silver hair that is feathered upward that, along with his pale complexion, makes him look odd in comparison to the clothing he wears. He is of light build and is around 5'2" tall, though to most he would not stick out in the crowd even with his slightly odd behavior.
The kid continues to walk on though the streets with a total disregard for what is happening in the world around him. He is only worrying about his own little world in his mind.

"Yeah huh..." The tone of voice was somewhat subtle (he was just speaking softly and trailing off), but it intended to give off the impression that he didn't appreciate the patronization at all. However, odds were nobody would catch the inflection but he who created it, and this fact would tick him off a tad.
"Well, I couldn't help but notice how... after that 'mesmerizing combat', the two horrible men went -inside- you," he frowned as he spoke, but his posture remained quite casual, green eyes a little glazed over accidentally as he stared past her right shoulder at nothing in particular behind the woman. Mostly in an effort to avoid meeting that ******** stare of hers.

::His slight signs of annoyance made her laugh so very softly. Maybe she knew nothing, maybe she knew alot. She wouldnt tell, instead she ran her finger along the table leaving a swath of black behind them.:: Shouyin "Well, I couldn't help but notice how... after that 'mesmerizing combat', the two horrible men went -inside- you." ::Inside her? That was too easy Shou had stepped right into that. But after a bit of laughter, she seemed to come back to the business at hand. Her smile faded as she shook her head from side to side as if saddened by something.:: Such a shame...you seem like such a good man...why do you serve the Dark Lord?
