[ WP ] 5 years ago Atlantis remerged in the atlantic ocean with all it 's citizens still alive . Today Poseiden attends his first UN meeting on behalf of Atlantis

`` The floor will now recognize the delegate from Atlantis.'' 
 
 With these words the normally bustling hall was suddenly as quiet as a church. Every representative watched the podium with rapt attention, eager to see the the delegate of the formerly mythical republic of Atlantis. Calling himself Poseidon his introduction to the UN had been marked on the Agenda but few had seen the Atlantean until now. Needless to say, many detailed reports were about to be written. 
 
 What was wheeled up to the podium, could be generously called disappointing. There were muffled giggles and snorts of derision. Sitting in a wheel chair was more of a blob than a man. His skin was so pale it was almost grey and looked somewhat slimy. He seemed to be struggling to support his completely bald head and if it were n't for his cushioning second chin he might have needed assistance. Behind thick tinted spectacles you could tell he was squinting as if trying to look into the sun. Next to him an assistant stood poised with a spray bottle which he used to spritz the Atlantean every so often. 
 
 `` Thank you *GASP* Secretary General. *wheeze*'' 
 
 The ensuing speech was painful to listen to. Each sentence was punctuated by a gulp for air as the Atlantean ambassador thanked the UN for recognizing the sovereignty of the newly formed island republic of Atlantis. Furthermore he explained that it had not been the intention of the Atlantean governing council to appear so suddenly and so soon but that unexpected geological events had caused Atlantis to surface early. After a long rattling gurgle he opened the floor for questions. The delegate from America jumped immediately at the opportunity. 
 
 `` Are you the Poseidon of legend, God King of the ocean depths?!'' 
 
 The Atlantean seemed taken aback at this. 
 
 `` Um... no. Poseidon is *hork* a fairly common name in Atlantis.'' 
 
 Although this had been the question at the forefront of everyone's minds it did n't stop the assembly from giggling like school children as the American delegate took his seat flushed with embarrassment. 
 
 `` Are there any *hisss* serious questions?''
