DERRICK
The suns rays were just peaking over the horizon bathing the beautifully corrupt city of New York in a early morning light. Despite the early hour New York was as busy as always, filled with many noises and many mortals. Mortals with unstable belief, just waiting for the right influences. Mortals who haven't sacrificed or offering to the gods for far to may years and need to be taught there place again.
"Soon mother dear, can you feel there fear? They fear everything from their own mortality to the strangers walking the very streets them. That fear only needs to be redirected to the right persons, to you mother, and their godhood could be replenished tenfolds, to the point that you could leave the imprisonment of Hel and join me hear on the surface of earth to walk among the mortals again, having them beg to bask in your beauty..." Derrick trailed off and and continued to stare down through the window of his penthouse apartment down the people below. "They're like ant mother, how hard can it be to control ants? why bother working with the other gods, only death awaits mortals, and after they die they will go to you, to us, they should only need to fear you..." Trailing off again Derrick pulled his hair back into a tight ponytail before going to his desk to retrieve his sunglasses.
There he paused, brushing his fingers against a piece of carved bone with runes engraved on it. Derrick waited for a moment, but he felt no words from his mother. She was weak now but soon Derrick vowed to make her strong again. placing his glasses over his haunting yellow gaze he left his private section of his apartment and moved into the living area were there was a breakfast waiting for him, as well as a letter of resignation from his current hired help.
With a sigh he picked up a piece of fruit walked over to his computer. "Oh mother, help is so hard to keep in this would, but at least it is easy enough to replace with the exchange of bits of paper..." With that Derrick bit into his apple while one handed he started to search the internet for a suitable replacement to help care for his needs.
SHATHIKK
At this early hour at the start of the weekend a bright Yellow Taxi pulled up in-front of a mid-ranged apartment building letting out a beautiful man who could have easily passed for a tall flat chested woman, and her two suitcases.
"Mis-MR. Boros, do you need help with your luggage up to your room? the cabbie asked half out of his car to help.
"No thank you Tony, I'm much stronger then I look and I really just want to get settled in, thank you for giving me a ride from the airport." the man, Shathikk, placed two folded up bills in the mans hand before grabbing his wrist. "Any thing you may have over heard Tony? you will forget it or I WILL find you, and I fear you will like me much less them." that said Shathikk gave the man a little wave and what could only be discribed as a giggle before picking up both his large bags and walking into the apartment building.
the cabbie just watched him go, unable to even count the money that was placed into his hand he was shaking so bad.
After a short stare-down with the apartment manager, regarding weather or not Shathikk was who he said he was, Shathikk walked into a nice loft style apartment, that came with a washer and dryer, and even two beds, hidden from each other by a wall that only extended partway across the room and some curtains.
Placing his luggage on the bed that had the fire escape window Shathikk stretched and looked around the place. It was nice and modern, not as nice as his family home in India but good enough. Unzipping his suitcases Shathikk started digging for his laptop. "I wonder if anyone has answered my roommate add yet, I did say they could just drop in so maybe I should just stay in for the day." Yawning as he pulled out his laptop Shathikk decided that would be a good idea, because it felt like the jet lag from his sixteen hour flight was finally starting to catch up with him.
