James noted the clear display of force given off by the various bar patrons, and knew not to test their patience. brushing his hand along his suit coat to make it clear he himself was armed, and would not go down easy. Taking another sip of his whiskey, and staring the young man directly in the eye, James spoke. "Quite the eye color you've got there. Myths and legends say that yellow eyes are the most notable traits of a shapeshifter. But what would a shapeshifter need with armed backup, and his own concealed weapons, I wonder. No, I think there's something different about you. Something similar to recent events." As James spoke, his own eyes did something without his knowledge, flashing a glint of the being hidden deep inside him, of the one known as [i]Akiel[/i].

"Now, I'm sure you're aware of the events transpiring in Los Angeles. My job is to investigate such events, generally without the consent of more...mundane authorities. I'm aware of such entities like those seen in Los Angeles, and that's why I'm here. Your 'carnival' is said to be home to some of these less-known denizens of Earth, and I need to know what you're up to, if anything. I'm here as a concerned third party. A..representative of the more overlooked citizens of this world. I have no intentions of causing trouble, I and my more paranormal allies simply need to be assured that things are under control, and that there are no upcoming troubles for those of us that are more mundane in our endeavors."
