GG name; Enki
element; Descry - light
design/describe their companion!; Most would suspect a Goblin Gator of Enki's nature to own something equally as scary as he is - perhaps a snake, or maybe a fierce Doberman. In both instances, you'd be completely wrong. Enki's little buddy is actually
Twig, the female Capuchin monkey! She always manages to put a smile on Enki's face, even when he's having the worst day.
personality; Enki is, in simple terms, a total grouch. He's usually seen wearing a grumpy scowl as he patrols the hallways at his job at Tegatai Prison, making sure no inmates are up to any trouble. Enki is tough, brave, and strong, and seems to have no fears. That isn't to say he's particularly mean, though. He's actually pretty polite, underneath that grouchy exterior.
story; To say Enki was worried was an understatement. As he tore through the halls of Block 7, he couldn't help but feel a wave of panic coursing through him. He'd practically torn the place apart by now - no doubt Warden Mason would rip him a new one after she found out about this - and still, even after he'd turned the place upside down in a frantic search, he couldn't find--
"Enki? Is that you out there?"
A girlish squeal escaped Enki's lips before he realized that, no, the voice coming from behind him wasn't Warden Mason's. And as he turned around, he also realized that, despite the femininity in the voice, it was a man's voice.
He turned to see bright red eyes watching him curiously. Ah, yes - inmate 792, Alfred. How could he forget that this was his cell? Enki's gaze softened slightly before he was cruelly reminded of who else lived in the cell.
"Oi, Alfie! Is that Enki?"
"About time that grouch showed up! I was starting to get bored."
"Is it time to eat yet?"
Enki turned towards Alfred's cell mates with a cold glare, silencing them almost immediately. Inmate 704, Dash; inmate 713, Gilbert; and inmate 785, Juno were all watching Enki with curious, slightly frightened looks in their eyes. Alfred was the first to speak up.
"Enki? What are you doing?" he chirped, prompting Dash to chime in, "Yeah, the place looks like a complete mess! Jeez, the Warden's gonna be hounding you to death about this one."
Enki twitched slightly before sighing heavily and turning back around. "My priorities have changed," he grumbled bitterly. "I'm looking for something."
"For what?" Juno asked.
Enki was about to respond with a snarky remark when he came to the conclusion that doing so would only encourage them to annoy him further. So, with another loud sigh, Enki muttered, "I'm looking for Twig. She disappeared this morning and I'm worried about her. She usually doesn't run off like that... You lot haven't seen her, have you?"
Silence enveloped the room before Gilbert stretched his back and said, "This is why I don't keep pets. They cause nothing but unnecessary stress. And where'd you even get a monkey in the first place? I thought those were illegal to own?"
Enki stared Gilbert down quietly before replying, "...It's a long story. I'm sure you morons wouldn't have the attention span for it."
"Try us," challenged Dash with a small smirk on his face.
The grey Goblin Gator watched the inmates in disbelief before sighing and beginning to weave his tale.
"It was around a year ago I found Twig. I'd been out on the boulevard, minding my own business, when I saw some folks had set up a small circus of sorts. I went over to see what was going on, and I found Twig there. She was in a tiny cage, in terrible conditions - she was frightfully thin, looked like she was diseased or something... Those jerks were neglecting the poor thing. It was awful."
"So how'd you end up with her?" Juno asked.
Enki rolled his shoulders back in a shrug before he spoke again. "In all honesty, I wasn't going to leave her there under any circumstances. I also wasn't about to call the cops, so... When nobody was looking, I picked the lock to the cage, put Twig in my bag, and left."
It was quiet for all of a minute before the inmates began freaking out. "You stole a monkey?!" "How did you not get caught?" "Who in their right mind steals a monkey?!"
Enki winced and glared at them. "Shut up! It was for the best that I did. Now have you seen her or not? I haven't got all day."
Before the inmates could answer, a feminine voice chimed in. "Hmph. I didn't know you were capable of theft, Officer Enki."
Enki whirled around, eyes widened in fear. "W-Warden Mason! I-I didn't realize you were--"
"Relax," the Warden chuckled, her hand on her hip. "I was coming down here to tell you I've found your precious Twig - she fell asleep in my office. However-" At this her eyes narrowed. "I couldn't help but notice the mess you've made here..."
Enki gulped. "Wa-Warden M-M-Mason, I-I can explain...!"
"Save it," Warden Mason growled. "Come get your monkey and after that clean this mess up. Understood?"
Enki nodded slowly. "Loud and clear, Warden Mason."
