(Maybe I got this in the wrong area. It'll serve multiple purposes, one of which to be, well, a sanctuary for my character. A home. But he'll have other things there that'll be there for the public. So, I'll give brief descriptions of the place.)
Appearance- Temple-like structure built into the side of a mountain, similar to that of the Greeks and Romans. Entrance- An opening in the front of the building, behind many columns. It has no door, but instead an energy shield that can be activated or deactivated upon a code being entered from the inside or outside. Main hall- Much different from the temple-like set up. It almost appears Yautja like... A long, metal hallway that leads back into a circular chamber, from which all the separate hallways that lead into different rooms. Pub- Stone Heart likes to drink quite a bit, so he found it necessary to get liquids of several varieties for himself or any friend that may end up there. It is reached through the East wing hallway. Pool Room- To the Northeast, and also connecting to the pub, there is a pool, twelve feet deep, and jucuzzi, seven feet deep. Inn- To the North lies the inn, where Stone Heart's personal room as well as five others can be found through the hallway. Arena- This area is a huge arena with several different functions within. Stone Heart uses it as a personal training grounds. It is large, circular, and surrounded by bleachers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Stone Heart sat in the pub, smiling to himself as he did such. He took a swig of his drink, wondering about what the day's schedule would hold. He had recently established this building, which he rather liked. He was currently dressed in his samurai-like attire, which he had begun to take a liking to.
He was rather content with how he had made the place. It was simple, yet effective, and could provide entertainment for him. Now, all he needed was people. Then, it'd be complete.

Eet comes to visit. She announces her presence to StoneHeart telepathically so he knows she is here and can let her in. Eet brings a housewarming gift for her friend - a 50 GP gift certificate to Kei-Lin's Armory.

As Eet is waiting for Stone Heart to let her in Adorna comes to call. Adorna has a huge, handwoven Turkish-type carpet for Stone Heart's floor. It has woven into it a glorious battle scene, in deep reds and bronze.

As he sat in the ever-changing lights, a thought pierced through his mind, one that let him know a certain visitor was at the door. That had to be useful, being able to just send messages to whoever one wished, wherever one wished. Either way, saved him quite a bit of trouble. Taking everything into consideration.
He smiled to himself, reaching under the counter. He hit a button, and a small piece of the stone slab was pulled back, revealing a small console. He typed in the code that deactivated the shield that served as a door. Maybe I'll install some sorta of video thing... So I can see who's there... He shrugged. "Back here, guys. Down the hall and to your right."

Eet comes in the door and looks around. "Gee, nice place", she thinks to herself. She moves down the hall and to the right.
(being telepathic has it's upside but then I cannot fight - knowing a person's thoughts is beyond godmoddering.)

(Depending on the situation. If the person says they're transmitting the thought, then that's one thing. But most thoughts are meant to be below that part of the mind.)
Stone Heart leaned onto the counter, using it and his elbow to support his massive weight. As his visitors came in, he smiled to himself. Adorna and Eet, the only two in all the strange world that seemed to not be violent. Well, that at least told him he wouldn't have to deal with any mishaps due to robots... Nope, he wouldn't deal with that again.
"Go ahead and make yourselves comfortable," he said, gesturing toward the entire room. There was roughly twenty seats in the place, twenty five if you included the stools. Five seats to a table. "Can I offer you two anything? Got plenty here, whether carried here from my own homeworld or Earth. Water, tea, carbonated beverages... Got more here, like something that appears to be some sort of sugar water, or something. And it's got colors..." He shrugged. "Food too, if you want it."

Eet will gladly accept noncarbonated drinks and any food that isn't gross (fried worms would be gross). Kool-aid is fine, tea or other drinks are aso fine...
First, Eet thinks "hello" and gives StoneHeart the gift certificate she got for him as a housewarming gift. "I don't know what you might find useful - this way you can get what you like. Eet is rather fond of lime Kool-aid, if you happen to have any", thinks Eet as she takes a seat at table near a window. (Eet bought a teleportation device in Kei-Lin's Armory). "So, how is arranging your new place coming?"

Adorna comes in with Eet, carrying the carpet she is giving to Stone Heart. "Hello, Stone Heart", she says, "How's your new place?" Adorna has a seat at the table with Eet. "I see you are offering refreshments, how nice! I would like some sparkling water (carbonated, like Perrier). If you are offering food I will take anything not weird - (I am not going to eat brains, for example, even in an RPG).
Adorna gives the carpet to Stone Heart. "This is for you, it's a nice, big, thick carpet and I hope it keeps your feet warm!"

Stone Heart removed two bottles from the shelf behind him. He tossed one toward Adorna upon hearing her request, since he was fairly sure that it was the type she requested. "Hasn't been so bad right now," he said. He partially laughed as he looked toward the window. "Creating optical illusions is fun enough. That window isn't actually showing the outside. We're inside the mountain right now. What you see is no more than a picture."
He didn't know what Kool-aid was, but he knew what limes were. They were green. So, find a green packet, and that's it. He threw open the cupboard door, finding the many packets he had stored up. He carefully selected a green one, then tore it open. He removed a glass from the counter, then poured the second bottle of water into it, as well as the powder inside the packet. He walked around the counter, setting it on the table in front of Eet.
He smiled as Adorna held out the carpet, taking it with a smile. "Well, thank'ee," he said. He carefully set it onto the counter. He'd get to placing it after his guests had left. He didn't want to be rude. "So, how goes it?" he asked. He began rummaging through the cupboards again. "Not quite sure what you'd define to be not weird. I have plenty of stuff from Earth... Fruits, vegetables, nuts, stuff like that."

"Ahh, this lime stuff is great for a thirsty one, the lime flavour is really good. Ummm... no meat from scavengers like vultures - there is no telling what might be in their stomachs, roast alligator is excellent! Nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits are all good. (Please, no peanuts, I beg you!)," thinks Eet to StoneHeart. "How do you like this location?"
(In real life I love Indian food and I can't get it here)

"Hello!" says Adorna to Stone Heart, "glad you like the carpet. I will have some of the green drink you served Eet, please, and roast Alligator sounds great! Interesting home you built - inside a mountain and all".

"Roast alligator, hmm?" Stone Heart said, scratching his head. He didn't know what meat he actually had. He tried to think for a brief moment. He hadn't gotten much meat in consideration of it going bad. He then snapped his fingers, waltzing over to the cooling storage device that Oomans called a refrigerator. He pulled it open with the back of his foot, taking a look inside. He pulled out some of the requested meat. "Fortunately, I'm a Yautja. I can hunt. So, I remembered I hunted the dang thing earlier in the week." He nodded toward the alligator skull on the wall, a rather large one at that.
He shoved the huge slabs of meat into the device that was similar to a microwave, then hit the button that would set it to the previously requested method of cooking. "It'll be a few minutes. But a lot faster than normal," he said. "Living in a mountain is fun enough. Easy enough to find, but complicated enough." He then removed a glass from his shelf upon hearing Adorna's request. He managed to find a second packet of the green powder, then tore it open and put it into the glass. He removed a bottle of water from the other shelf, then poured it into the glass, watching the liquid turn green.
He then handed it to Adorna, leaning on the counter. "Well, you aren't entirely correct in saying that I built it," he said. "I actually just found it, then altered it to my liking." He shrugged, sitting down on the stool behind the counter. "So, yeah. Can't really take the credit for it."

(I figured a great hunter like you could rustle up some alligator! Everytime I watch "Transformers" and the soldier is talking about his grandmother's "Alligator Etoufee", I want some.)
"It's an interesting house and a good location", thinks Eet, "although I personally prefer light and visibility. The place I share with Kei-Lin is built on and in the side of a mountain, very high up, and cannot be approached easily except from the front. Good location for us; prevents surprise attacks and other destruction. What inspired you to choose this particular location?"

Stone Heart thought about it for a moment. He wasn't exactly sure why he had picked this location. "That's a question that's got a difficult answer," he began. "I think it was more to accomodate myself to an environment that can sustain someone like me. I guess the fact that I'm a Yautja has a lot to do with it. Yautja are more used to the heat, which is why they usually only hunt in hotter times. Mountains are sometimes formed by magma pushing against the planet's crust, so they're usually hot. No matter the reason, though, mountains are hotter. So, that works well for me if I don't want to use technology to make the place hotter."
A beep sounded from behind him, and his mechanical eye seemed to spin around to look out of the corner of his eye. His other eye remained facing his guests. It looked somewhat creepy, yet it made him laugh whenever he looked in a mirror. It just added to his insane look, and gave him yet another ability to add onto his long list. "I do believe the alligator is done," he said, turning around in his seat. He stood, then pulled open the door of the microwave-like device. With his other hand, he pulled it out, tossing it into the air for a brief moment as he closed the door. He caught it on his fingertips as it came down to eye level, and he brought it around to his guests.
"I guess the second reason would be simple subdivisions of the first. Me, I was born a long, long time ago. I prefer older styles of things when it comes to buildings. It's more classic, classy, and it's more familiar to me," he stated, having a seat at the table next to his guests. "I suppose the next reason is my massive size. I'm huge, even for a Yautja. Especially a guy. Most guys are somewhere from seven to eight feet tall, and any ladies of my species only reach nine feet. Me, I'm almost nine feet. Says a lot. I guess the last reason would have to be my family. I've got a three kids, though I never really advertise it. This building's got a lot o' space, so if they're ever here, there's room." He shrugged. "I can't think of any more reasons, 'cept the reason that I stated before, that it's mostly hidden from anything that'd try to mess with me and end up getting torn limb from limb."

"Interesting", says Adorna, "Where are your children now? I have children also, many thousands of Earth years ago, they are now in various parts of the galaxy. An automatic heat source is quite useful - I like any temperature that doesn't cause me to freeze or boil but warm is nice. The alligator is very tasty, by the way".
