Welcome to Gaia! ::

While walking into town all Loki can think about is where to sleep. He's been on his own for awile, usually sleeping in back alleys or train cars, as he's used to it. But since he's going to try and stay here for awile he wants to find a nice place. As he walks he sees a large warehouse. "I.. I guess I could sleep there" he said to himself, but just tonight, he continued in thought to himself.

Loki approaches it and stares at the old withered outter planks of wood and the well past worn doors. Large mice could be seen running in and out of small holes. And at the corners of the building there were large holes witha black oily substance coming from them. "I've slept in worce" he said staring up at the large building, he looked around for a few seconds, no one appeared to be around. "This is a great start" he said sarcasticly as he picked up his back pack and through it into a window in the back smashin git. He quickly grabbed onto the well rusted fire escape coming down the back of the building and swung himself in.

Loki hit the ground hard and rolled, his back pack was hooked onto a large spike of glass still connected to the window. He reached up and grabbed it, then brushed it off along with the palsm of his hands, which were a thick brownish red from the rusted escape. Turning around he looked all over and said "Home sweet home."

Laying onthe ground with his arms placed behind his head as a pillow. Loki's eyes opened and closed hazely for a few seconds, the heavily shut. His eyes quickly twitched from side-to-side, up and down, full circles at a time, and then for several seconds his eyes rolled directly up and he twitched slightly then coming to a complete stop. For several seconds he stopped breathing, almost motionless. This is how loki sleeped, since he is a large part fish, or more like the shark, Loki cannot stay still for too long. But when it does happen, Loki's human side takes over, giving him a human like sleep. Though here was one major differene, he is much too weak from having half of his body shut off, too the point he can't move his body until he awaks.

As his thin, sharp body layed motionless, almost dead, he had thoughts of his past rushing through his head. The first thought that came to his mind was his oldest, most vaguely seen memory, it was the day his parents found out about his "problem", and the day it scared him the most.

Loki's father was looking at him like he was a monster, and his mother was crying against the corner of the couch. She was so sunkin into the couch that it looked as if she was pushing herself into it, as in to get away from "their" son. the next thing was very cloudy tears forming in his eyes and as he brought his hands to his face, the tears were bouncing off of his tear and sweat soaked hands. Where they landed, for a short second, small patches of thick blue scales grew over thin, pale blue scaley skin, then quickly faded away.

Loki's body could be seen cringing and twiching. His body was changing sharply and shockingly, as if causing him great pain. His his face, mostly around his eyes changed so shockingly, with thick black veins, and dark blue scales coming directly from them. And his ears would change to fins and back every few seconds. Loud gasping and snarling sounds could be heard coming from his sharp, jaggedly changeing teeth. His hands would web then unweb, looking as if they were tearing off. And he had back fins ripping in and out of his skin and similarly torn parts of his old shirt, holes. For short seconds, thick black thin lines would com pouring from there rips, then quickly soak into the scales. After much, much more time of going through this, Loki shock one last time then woak up instantly. As his body flew up it finished changing completely then after sitting still for half a second it changed human. As the last bit of sweat and scales dried up on his face, he began to shake his head quickly. After about half a second of shaking he sat still then slowly oened his eyes. He murmered "Another great sleep" then smiled slightly and sat indian style.

(( not at all ))

Loki raised his head slowly as he heard the voice in the shadows. The mocking tone towards Loki from a figure who dind't know his problems, or who he is made him feel a flame of rage burn inside of him. But his weakness made him feel slightly scared, but he didn't want to show that. "You don't know what i go threw" he said shakingly and nervous. Loki thought of what he could do and he shakingly reached back for a knife in his pack.

Loki looked at the flask and quickly toulk it, he ywisted the top off in one spin then poured it all in his mouth. He let the taste rest there for a little then swalloed it all in one gulp. Loki spun the top on and handed it back to him. "Thanks... and no, I'm an outcast." he said with a little bit more confidence in his voice, it made him feel a little bit of pride rather than rejection.

Loki shook off what the man said, not letting it get to him, and also the little bit of the drink had relzxed him slightly. he was now sitting with his head down as the man went to make his phone call. A strong smell was coming off of his breath, he enjoyed its smoothe aroma. Though in his state, he began tp wonder who this man was, and where did he come from.

Loki noticed the rumbling beneath his feet, he thought it might of been because his body was weak and he had just drank the flask causing him to imagine things, then realized that this place is Crosshaven, and people with gifts are everywhere.

Loki slowly lifted his head up to the side to respond to the man, he wasn't sure if he should, but he already saw it happen so it wouldn't really matter to tell him. "It's pretty simple" he said with a slight smile "When water comes incontact with my skin, my skin forms into scales, and in certain areas fins form. So basically my when water his me I turn into a man half fish fuzion." he said while clearing his throat a couple times. Loki then turned his head down thinking about what he had just said, and what the mans gift could be.

Loki thought about what he said as he was saying it. "But then I'm not better then them..." he went to shake his hand. "... people need to learn to except us... not be forced into it by fear." Loki looked down for a couple seconds then looked back up at Cain "Maybe if you were the one having to show off who you are to everyone everyday you would see it a different way... but someone" he looked down at the hole and looked back up "with a more forceful gift, where not only can you hide it, but you can strike back with it, wouldn't be able to see things from my eyes... nice to meet you I'm Loki"
