I've been hard at work for the past few days trying to conjure a picture of what I intended to be Caine's residence, but I simply can't find it in me to draw such a thing proper... Hence, I shall simply describe it to you, and leave it to your imagining to bring it to life.
Caine's home isn't so much a building as it is a vehicle. An absolutely MASSIVE vehicle. Caine's good fortune has wrought him much, and he is one of the most influencial men on earth now. He immediately used his money to buy powerful corperations, and is only ammasing more riches. It has been years since his life changing event, and now he is on tour. He travels the world searching for oddities and artifacts, and this is where he stays: a giant mobile home called the Apperture.
The Apperture is a marvel Eastern engeneering, a combination of Machine and Magic in sublime and profound ways. It stands like a pair of massive wheels, three hundred meters in diameter, with the living space nestled withing them. The wheels are "hollowed out," and more of the living space juts out from these holes. Needless to say, the home itself does not spin with the wheels, but remains perfectly still. There are stabalizers within that change the effect of gravity to those within, so that bumps or potholes (which, considering the size here, would be hills and valleys) have no effect. Essentially, the ultimate shocks.
Obviously, such an imposing and large construct would way a ton, and it does. If it truely did roll on it's wheels alone, it would leave quite the trench behind it, and would have difficulty moving foreward. It would be VERY destructive, and that is not the intent of this luxury vacation. Instead, at the top of the non rotating aparatus lies an incredible device that has been dubed The Well. The Well is a sort of anti-gravity device, and yet not quite. In short, it causes Apperture to float, being carried by the Well at the top.
So while it is weightless, this does not meen that an average human can pick it up, because while there is no weight, one must still account for the massive inertia of it. It would take an awful long time for someone of such little strength could move it. Hence, the wheels are just for show. The well has another function, which is to propel Apperture along, creating the illusion that the vehicle is traveling along on it's wheels. While the well IS in fact programed to follow the contours and dips of the landscape, it is perfectly capable of flying. Often, it will "skim" across a body of water to get to the other side.
It is extravegent, and quite a thing to behold. Gold trims with intricate designs and etchings decorate it from top to bottom, or rather, all around. Inside, satin is about as common as it gets. A full crew operates it at all times, with chefs, engeneers, buttlers, you name it. It is not crowded by any stretch of the imagination, and even while the Apperture is traversing mountains, the ride remains perfectly smooth. Not a hair out of place can be found on this exclusively human made vessel, designed to help prove that while an ordinary human may be insignificant compared to some of the other more powerful races, they are still capable of wonderous things...
[edit] It's an awful lot, I know... If I can craft a picture at a later date, I will be sure to post it.

 Caine told the cabbie to stop a good mile away from their intended destination. "There it is." Caine told his guests, Kiva and Raes. "The Apperture, we call it." Caine said with a grin. "It's truely marvelous... And it makes quite the scene wherever we go!" Caine laughed, a common thing for him these days. "While I don't exactly have a yard, like most people do, considering the nature of this thing..." Caine trailed off, a mischievious smile on his lips. "Well, the world is my yard."Green=Edited.

 Kiva's Ears tail, and jaw all dropped at the sight of the large building... Er machine? He was speachless.... It was huge.... and It moved! "Is that a house?" Kiva asked stunned His voice was quiet... he was too preoccupied with staring at it to really pay attention. "Raes what do you think?" He whispered

 Raes
Raes had been looking out the other window when the car came to a stop. Turning to look at Caine, she smiled. She heard him say there it was, but they really hadn't gone too far. Moving next to Kiva, she looked out at it. "Holy crap," she said as she started in amazement. "That is amazing! Wh-what, how?!" she asked Caine, pushing Kiva a little in excitement.

Caine smiled at Raes. "Well, I think the first order of business is to stretch your legs. I'm fairley certain you guys haven't had that opportunity in a while." Caine oppened the door and stepped outside. From the direction of the Apperture, a small all terrain motorbike was coming their way. It stopped a short distance away, and Caine thanked the man who had driven it to him. Caine threw his leg over and smiled. "Shall we?"Green=Edited.

"You serious?" Kiva laughed "Prepare to lose kitten" Kiva was actually quite competitive... He crouched down on all fours preparing to transform "This will be fun" He snarled playfully. The scent was still bothering him.... but it didn't do anything...

Caine was pleased that the two were very excited to get their legs moving... He was less pleased when Raes passed out on the ground where she stood. Alarmed, Caine leaped off of his bike and ran to her side. "Raes?!?" Caine checked for her pulse. She was alive and well, which made Caine breath a sigh of relief. But she was unconcience, and there was no apparent reason for her collapse, so Caine worried.
"Here." Caine slung her over his shoulders and walked her to his bike. He gingerly set her on the back seat, and wrapped her arms securely around his waste. Starting the small all terrain mortorcycle, it made a loud roar, which still failed to wake Raes. Hands on the handlebars, Caine grins at Kiva and asks him "Would you be content racing me instead?"Green=Edited.

 Kiva growled "No... but it will do" He teased He began to charge off full speed toward the giant thing... Within minutes he was far far ahead of them they couldn't catch up if they tried. He howled gleefully seeing his obvious victory.

Caine laughed. The wolf was fast, he would admit. A LOT faster than he had anticipated, that much was for sure. But the wolf was going the wrong way, and would figure out soon enough that the Apperture was not Caines intended destination for this race. "Catch up if you can." Caine whispered as the cycle shot foreward, heading west towards some interesting mountains Caine had spotted on his way here.Green=Edited.

Kiva stopped midstep.... tripping over himself.... they weren't following him!? Kiva turned around and saw that they were in the opposite direction "Crap" Kiva snarled running back He was right beside them in a moment "How am I supposed to race if I don't know where we are going?" He asked confused.... He growled

Caine smiled. Even over the deafening roar of his Mortorcycle, he knew Kiva could hear him. "In a flat out race it's clear you could beat me, but that's terribly boring. There is a system of rocks, or more apopriately a cluster of chaos in those mountains." Caine smiled at Kiva, running alongside his cycle, which kicked up a long billow of dust as it ran across the fields. "We'll see if you are agile as I am with this thing once we get there."Green=Edited.
