Enki Leviathan There are many things I wish I could have done different... but everything I learned, every event that had a one course action... they were all a part of being human, which is the whole point in my being here now, like this Enki Leviathan If I chose to, I could completely shrug off this "skin" of sorts and quite literally become a god. Do you know who the dominent diety is here, in this town, and for their ancestors, the Atlantians? Vincent's gaze did not flit from Enki's for one moment, even as he tapped his pipe on the ashtray with thought, awaiting his companion's reply.

*Enki keeps Vincent's gaze as he responds*
It is the Sumerian God, Enki. It is the Greek God, Poseidon. The Celtic Creature, Jormungand. The Atlantians, after moving here, named him Leviathan. But in essence, they worship the Supreme Water Spirit and his offspring. In this town, I would be their god in my true form. Now you see why I must attempt to keep a low profile around here. Their mythology has managed to keep quite a good track on my life. They know I have a human form, they just don't know what it looks like.
*Enki then releases the smoke that was held within the water bubble, watching it flit and waift up through the air*

*Enki then releases the smoke that was held within the water bubble, watching it flit and waift up through the air* Vincent sat there for a moment, his pipe held limply in his fingers. Smoke wafted lazily around the little patch that had been held within the bubble, seeming to frame his blank stare at the man before him. "...You...you think yourself a god?" He asked, his voice quiet but also holding a touch of incredibility. "I apologise if i'm offending you, but...i've seen and known people who have thought themselves gods, and they have all been, rather rudely, 'drawn into the light' some might say..."

*Enki laughs slightly and shakes his head, his eyes wandering down to the pipe, then back to Vincent's eyes*
Of course I'm not really a god. I'm just a Gaurdian. But you see, in every culture, when there was a person who was much stronger then them, could do amazing feats, or was just unexplainable by all reasoning to them, they consider said creature a god. "God" is the planet, Gaia. I just work for it.

"God" is the planet, Gaia. I just work for it. Vince said slowly, as if trying to comprehend it all - before shrugging with a laugh. "But, in this day and age, god-like creatures roam Gaia as freely as the birds and the bees. I have in my employ a man made entirely out of sand. Thats right. The kind you can find on a beach, or in the forest. He has the ability to make himself as hard as diamond! He is a fine bodyguard."He lifted his pipe to his mouth, chewing on the end for a second, before sitting back in his chair. "...We all have questions as to why there are such things...things that, quite simply, should not be. Take yourself for instance. Do you know how you can do the things you do? To command water in all it's forms, to actually become water itself! It is clinically impossible, is it not? And you're not the only one! We have..." He began to count them off his fingers, one by one. "...A man who could power all the major cities on his bio-electricity alone...another man who could command flame in all it's forms and even shape-change into a demon...a being made entirely out of liquid shadow who possessed a shell made of shadow...a young woman who can read men's minds as easily as she would read a book...another young woman who can teleport instantaneously from one place to the next..." He laughed breifly, closing his fist. "And thats just off the top of my head! Tomorrow, Kasuaga, Maximos, Tellus, Honoraven - all beings that, for one reason or another, can do things that modern science struggles to explain, and grasps at straws when demanded facts."

*Enki smiles a little bit*
Yes, I suppose one could call me an avitar. Though all in all, I'm not a messeger for Gaia, I am a gaurdian. I am here to ensure that the aquatic biosphere is not destroyed. That is one reason why I built the stadium alongside the ocean.
*Enki listens to the powers listed, followed by their accompanying names and chuckled a bit*
Well, myself and Kasuga I can explain... we're not human, you see. Myself, I was granted this human form by request. I am actually not human at all. I am a being made entirely out of water, named Leviathan, held together only by the will of the Gaia Spirit. Kasuga really is a demon of fire, the Gaurdian of Fire, Efreet... he is also my brother. Though according to the legends I heard, his spirit was trapped inside of that arm that Kasuga has and is technically controlling the human. As for the others, I'm really not sure, though I know all of whom you speak personally.

"I have heard stories of what he has done...but i would have loved to meet him, find out who he was and...what he was. As far as i could glean, he seemed to be like you - made entirely out of water. For the life of me i cannot explain how that is...besides devine intervention, much like yourself."Placing his pipe to his mouth, puffing on it slowly, he clasped his hands, looking down at his knuckles as he spoke quietly. "There are so many things that i cannot explain...and it irritates me. I'm sorry if i'm intruding on any personal grounds with my questions...i'm generally inquisitive by nature, i suppose..."

Chris, having finished his fight with Akira, approached the building. He leant against the door and opened it with his shoulder because of the fact his right arm was in a sling and it would've been a right kuffuffle to open otherwise. Once inside, he took a look around the bottom floor, it was pretty nice.
He took a seat down, and saw a book infront of him, open though the seat was cold so if anyone had been reading it, they'd gone off somewhere. Chris leant over the book and tried to take a look, failing rather horribly since he couldn't look at books due to the fact he saw them as just book-shaped blocks of colour. Ignoring all his hard learned social skills, he grabbed the nearest person's (he could tell it was a person because of their heat signature, and the boobs) arm and said...
"Excuse me, whats on this page?"

"Eye's eh? Interesting..."
Chris smiled and rubbed his chin with his uninjured hand. If he could fix one of his eyes, then he could finally learn to read and see properly, maybe even improving his combat.
"Yes... very interesting..."
Rrrrrrip. Chris ripped out about thirty pages of the book, and, after ensuring the lady wasn't in the way, stood up. He rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a handful of coins, totalling to about 10 times what the book was worth (How's he meant to know how much coins are worth if he's technically blind?) and dumped them on top of the now closed book.
"Thank you" 3nodding
And promptly walked out.

((+++ Note: The following action takes place about two weeks after the store's opening. Watch yer timeline!^_~ +++))
They had started into the third week since opening Feimurgan and the news had spread that a part of the old stadium, whose reconstruction had also started in the meantime, was already existing. Indeed many people asked Lucind and her staff how the rebuilding of the Leviathan arena went along - but little information they could give. In fact, Lucind had been too busy with the store and private issues to know more than what the papers stated.
"Miss Lucind! Stop that, will you?!" The small corpulent man, chef de cuisine at Feimurgan and jokingly called "Chief" by everyone, wielded his egg whisk for he'd caught Lucind sneaking an appetizer. "You're eating your customer's food - how dare you!" His head, almost bald except from some dark locks over his ears, was alarmingly red.
"Naah, Chief, calm down,"Lucind grinned and waved her hand. "I think your ears are steaming. That's not good for your heart, you know? mrgreen "
"Out with you! Out, I say..." He waddled over with an unexpected speed and chased Lu out of his kitchen. He then returned to his work, mumbling and ranting along. His eyes betrayed him though, the twinkling revealing that he actually enjoyed those playful fights.
Lucind chuckled while taking the elevator upwards. She untied her hair and watched at it in the mirror of the cabin: it hadn't had a trim for quite some time and now reached down to her shoulders in the back, whereas several shorter strands fell over her ears and tried to cover her eyes.
For a moment, she stared at her reflection, then smiled. She felt good. She had visited Hetel in the previous week and the clanleader had given her many lessons concerning dealing with the lohr'aven. Now with being able to control her inner door to the collective unconscious, Lucind's sleep was calm and undisturbed, she felt safer, stronger and more balanced. Even if her feelings about the new ability were still mixed and rather negative, she felt she would find a way to settle things.
The door slid open and a wave of chattering, shuffling feets and clattering dishes embraced her. Rubbing her neck she scanned the room and smiled.
"Feels good to be here..."
She had indeed gained back one of the places she used to call "home".

It was about that kind of day when business was slow, just before the rush that he stepped into the building. Dressed as peculiar as he was, heavy robes of light blue with white trim, he surely would stand out. The man's head was covered with a cowl, who's shadows fell over his eyes. And around his neck hung a small amulet sporting a design of an icicle with a bunch of grapes inside.
With his hands folded in the sleeves of his robes, the man began to walk towards the interior of the builing, his cowled head moving around as if he was looking for someone, his steps unsure.

The espresso machine hissed while producing fine milk foam for the cappuccino Lucind was making.
She placed the cup onto a saucer and turned around to pass it over to Kara. Her eyes directly noticed the outstanding light blue clothes of the new guest. She smiled while Kara grinned and commented: "Why is it we have even more strange people in the new store? xp "
Walking around the counter, Lucind approached the man, wondering why his appearance seemed to be somehow familiar.
"Good day, sir. Can I help you?^^"

He stopped as he watched the woman approach and speak to him, taking in as much information as he could in the short amount of time it took for her to reach him and speak. Trying to make up his mind between analysing the people around the building, he finally came to a conclusion as he spoke.
"Miss Lucind Varhetel I presume?" he paused as he took out a little envelope from the inside of his sleeves and handed it to her, "You are being invited to the Monastery in Guldor for the wine tasting festival that happens every few years." he spoke, voice calm and soft.
"My name is Hul, and I am to be your guide until we reach the monastery." he finished as he pulled back his hood, letting the woman see his face. He was young, maybe mid twenties, his blonde hair cropped short on his head, and is eyes were a very clear light blue, the colour of innocence.
