The tan walls smelled the same as the food as it steamed on plates. A proud, older Nubian woman stood behind the counter of the bar, handing plates to two customers that came in often. Another plate came up from the kitchen, a plate of jerked chicken for a lovely anubite that reminded her so much of the one she had employed that should be walking through the door at any moment.
Mama had become fond of the dark colored dog man, he had arrived scared, hungry, and without a place to stay. And he came smelling of an element. Judging by his mannerisms, Mama guessed that it was the element of time. The poor dears that were cursed with time always ended up insane or alone or both. She only hoped that Anubis would not end up this way and so she plotted. The moment Anubis walked through the door she pushed the plate of food in his hands and motioned him to the corner of the shop where the white anubite sat, wrapped up in sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

Anubis Altair
Anubis had been washing plates out the back of the cafe when he head Mama call and walked through with a smile, his dark fur body was covered by some old clothes Mama had been kind enough to lend him. The slightly faded blue jeans and white shirt fitted him well, although the change in fashion over the years sure had confused him when he had arrived in a plate mail skirt and head dress.
Taking the plate of Jerked Chicken he looked for the customer and did a mini double take at her appearance, he hadn't seen another anubite since he had arrived here. Looking back to Mama he smiled "Sure thing Mama, I brought a few cases of the wine up just in case you need them." he said nodding back to the kitchen before setting off to the customer.
Setting down the meal infront of the anubite girl he smiled "One order of Mama's special jerked chicken for you Miss, enjoy." he said before turning away and standing behind the drinks bar in case anyone needed drinks poured. Thinking back to her smooth white fur he couldn't stop a small grin as he stood there

The white dog woman smiled brightly as the food was placed before her and pushed back her hood. Traveling through time, particularly being pulled through time, made one extremely hungry. The food smelled fantastic. With the hood down, golden earrings and headdress of her birth period glowed in the light of the cafe. The gold and other jewels had been picked up at the end of the war when she had been jumped forward the first time into a tomb for several weeks. Lucky for her, the tomb had been fresh so the food and drink was too. She ate and dressed up for entertainment and managed to be pulled forward in full dress. Through the times she had been drug to the pieces came in handy for paying for meals and other things. She had traded a piece of a ring for the clothing she was wearing now and planned to pay for her meal with another piece. Times change but people's love of gold never did.
Ekibe finally looked up from her plate as she lifted her glass to tell the waiter thank you. Her icy blue eyes locked with Anubis' and she dropped the glass on herself. Not seeming to notice, she stammered. "Y-y-you... is it you or are you just another..." The female rose and began circling Anubis. "Your fur seems like the same shade of black.... but any other anubite could be just as black.... I cannot tell, I've only caught glimpses after being pulled... are you... are you the one who has been pulling me through time?"
Yes, she sounded insane... insane to anyone but the old black woman in the kitchen. Her blue eyes pleaded the black dog man to answer, her jackal ears twitched as if trying to pull the sound of his answer out of thin air.

 Anubis Altair
Anubis looked at the white anubite as she circled him, the gesture awoke old training in him and he tensed for fight "The hawk watches the mouse and circles before diving for the kill." that was what he had been taught. Looking at her with his sapphire bright eyes he put a hand into his pocket readying a serrated rope with a jeweled handle, it was one of the only things he had brought with him through the time tunnel and it was marked with the insignia of his clan. His fingers stopped suddenly as she mentioned being pulled through time and his eyes widened slightly "I am Anubis, what do you know of time travel?" he asked with an urgency that matched hers.
Suddenly an idea formed in his mind, reaching forward he pulled a strand of hair from her head. Lifting it to his nose he breathed in the scent and something clicked into place within him. His eyes changed to a dark rusty red and his voice became emotionless "You smell of the time tunnel, the unnatural gateway formed in the presence of urgency. Why did you follow me to this era?" the voice faded as did the eye color as he finished the sentence. Blinking quickly his eyes became scared before everything went black and he collapsed where he stood the emergence of the element draining his energy completely.

Mama The female growled when the hair from her head was plucked and her hand wrapped around the hilt of her blade that was hidden in the over sized sweat suit. She was about ready to attack, something she learned through time to do before attacked herself, when he spoke loudly and with such power it made her tremble. Her hands twitched on the blade until the man fell and it felt like her heart fell too. Ekibe yelped in shock and she moved forward to catch him. Mama dashed out of the kitchen, having been listening to the two, watching the first reaction of elementalist and guard coming together. It was something she had never seen before and now she was hoping to never see it again. "Child! Oh, you should have been easy on the boy. He is mighty frightened, like a mouse that lives under a cat. Quick, take him in the back and lay him down. I will bring ice.""I... oh... yes ma'am." Ekibe moved hefted the black anubite onto her shoulder, grunting at his weight. She wasn't the strongest, but she felt a need to get him to safety. Carefully, the white female lay Anubis down, pulling off her sweater to pillow under his head.

Anubis Altair
Anubis felt strange, opening his eyes he saw immediately he had not woken into the world he was used to. As he looked around he realized he must be inside his mind which was a first for him, suddenly he felt the fur on the back of his neck stand on end and knew he wasn't alone here "Whos there, why am I stuck here?" he called his voice echoing deeply in his head. Suddenly a dark red ball of light appeared at the center of his mind radiating energy. "I am the energy of time, and it is because of me that you survived the battle in egypt. Accept me as part of you and I can help protect you from those who wish to take control of you." it said in an emotionless voice.
Looking to the energy with suspicion Anubis nodded and knelt down "Lets get this over with then." he muttered the ball of energy moving forward and striking him in the chest. In the waking world his body convulsed and his hands clenched tightly as the energy joined with him completely, after a few minutes the convulsions stopped and his eyes slowly opened "Owww what a headache." he muttered quietly as everything swayed out of focus.

When the black anubite convulsed, Ekibe grabbed one of his hands. She whispered words of comfort in her native language and preyed for him. Mama had come by and left a bowl of water and a rag in case it was needed. The female sat there, rocking back and forth while she waited for the man to wake back up. While she waited she wondered what he was, how it was that he brought her here and why he thought that she had followed him. Through holding his hand, she could feel a strange energy about him.
She jumped and yelped in surprise when he spoke, having been lost in her thoughts. Quickly she grabbed the bowl of water and a rag to offer it to him. "Are you alright? You... you just blacked out and nearly hit the floor. Do you need to see a medic?"

Anubis Altair
Groaning he moved a hand up to his head and rubbed it gently, seeing the white anubite from earlier he smiled slightly "I'll be fine miss, I've had worse scrapes then that in my time." he muttered taking the damp rag and pressing it against his head, looking to Mama his eyes narrowed a little as the smile played across his face "You had something to do with this Mama didn't you?" he asked struggling to a sitting position.
Looking again to the anubite he smiled shyly "I think we should explain this before it gets even more confusing." he muttered pulling his metal whip from his pocket and pointing out the gold anubite head inlay-ed with sapphires at the hilt. "This was the insignia for my tribe, we roamed Egypt some 2,000 years ago, we were in a battle and from what I can make out I absorbed a kind of energy that saved me by sending me through a time vortex to now. My name is Anubis Altair, now you." he said speaking the question without losing his smile, this all felt like a bad episode of a program he had seen here called Dr Phil.

Though Ekibe wanted to give the elder woman quite a few words about the giddy smile on her face, the white anubite pulled her attention back to the man who just introduced himself... as a man from her time and her people. Slowly she rolled up her sleeve to show the same marking in a tattoo on her shoulder.
"I am from your tribe, a tailor during the war. One day, while gathering buttons for my father, I was suddenly pulled from my home by some... swirling light and dark. Again and again I have been pulled into some new time and place. My name is Ekibe Mubarak." She paused and looked at him. "Do you not control the time change? You... you haven't been purposefully pulling me with you?"

Anubis Altair
Looking from the tattoo to the anubite Anubis's eyes widened slightly "I'm afraid up until a few minutes ago I didn't even know how I traveled through time, it was on like an auto pilot sorry about this whole mess." he muttered quietly. Going to stand up he leaned against the sofa breathing a little harder then normal, it felt as if his legs had turned to cement while he had been out. "I'll get us some drinks." he said looking for an excuse to disappear for a few minutes, going to the cellar he pulled down two bottles of french merlot and grabbed some loafs of bread the chef had left lying around.
Making his way back up he set the food and rink down and looked to Mama "You can take this out of my pay check can't you Mama?" he asked slicing up the bread and handing Ekibe a piece. Poping the wine bottle he poured them all a glass and sat back "I wonder if this day could get any stranger?" he muttered to himself before taking a sip of wine.

Mama The Nubian smiled and pulled up a chair. "Do not worry about the cost, it is on the house. And I'm afraid it is going to get stranger. I didn't take you under my wing just out of the kindness of my heart." She reached over and picked up a slice of bread. Ekibe turned her head to Mama and frowned, her ears sliding back. "If it were for monetary gain, you will be disappointed. The two of us have... nothing, next to nothing. Takes a heartless woman to take advantage of two lost and scared travelers." There was a snarl in the anubite's words as she spoke. The thought of this woman causing any kind of harm to Anubis enraged her for a reason she couldn't understand. "No, no, child, that is not what I mean. Anubis... I know what you are, what has happened to you. I have been waiting a long time to see an elementalist and when you came here I was so excited. When you arrived without a guardian I thought that I might be graced the honor of being it." Mama munched on the bread after seeming to ramble and Ekibe watched the her. The words didn't make sense, what was she talking about. Elementalist, guardian, it didn't quite make sense.

when moist honey lips and another`s tongue
Fate is lust
when moist honey lips my tongue touch's The front door of the cafe' rang softly as it opened and a tall man wearing a well tailored suit, blue rimmed glass's, and a scowl on his face entered. His suit was ripped at the shoulder and he was covered in dirt but other then that looked unharmed. Lifting his head he looked around the Cafe' and quickly spotted Christiana, along with two Anubiets. Frowning slightly the man moved closer as the door shut behind him. A single sword was strapped to his side that his hand seemed to permanently rest on the pummel of. "it seems my adventure went sour" he said once he stepped up to the Seers side and stopped. Riyu's eyes lifted to look at the female Anubis and narrowed his eyes a little. "A elemental?" he asked before looking down at Christiana. He also noticed the other Anubis and frowned slightly not recognizing him at all. Fate is kind
when true love blooms
Fate is pleasure
when other`s show their love in bed. ♕ ♕ ♕ ♕ ♕ ♕ ♕ ♕ ♕ ♕ OOC: Sorry its short Y_Y

 Karin of the Earth
Karin walked into the cafe, her hood pulled over her head. She lifted up her hood, long white hair gently coming down over her shoulder. She Looked around and didn't see anybody she recognized, so she went to a corner table and sat down. A waiter came by and Karin politely told him that she didn't want anything.

 ~_.-._[-Marvic-]_.-._~ You all know what it's like to lose something.......Marvic was walking down his favorite street. This street held the Nubia Cafe, which was his favorite place to go. Alas, he wasn't in the mood for a drink or a snack, but had found himself walking down this street anyways. Stopping in front of the cafe, he looked through the window. First, he noticed that Mama wasn't there; second, there was a girl in there that he hadn't seen before. Suddenly, the urge to go inside was so overwhelming, that he didn't have a choice other then to go in.
Upon entering, the smell of the food made is mouth water. Now I'm hungry. Walking to the back, he found Mama, two Anubis, and a man. He only knew Mama. Again, the feeling of having to do something over came him, this time it wanted him to turn around. What on earth is going on?! He was usually calm, but this was getting irritating. Well, it won't leave me alone unless I do this.... With that thought, he turned around, and saw the girl from before. She had white hair, and ears. What? Her? Then the feeling made him start to walk towards her. Oh, good grief. But he put a smile on his face, and walked over. "Why hello young miss." Great. Now what? He had gotten himself in a bit of a pickle.But what about trying to find something that you never had?
