Hollywood Road: Slice of Life/Dramedy

Sirenia could not help but accidentally chuckle at the man’s small talk to the bartender. If he felt out of place than surely she should feel like an alien visiting earth for the first time. She knew very well that some awkward situations may arise by moving to a place like Hollywood, and participating in events outside her genre. So, she held no false beliefs that she may or may not be welcomed with open arms. Regardless this place seemed pretty classy and she was determined to make it home…or at least for a little while. She was also willing to venture outside her comfort zone and give back to the community at events such as these.

Her last comment about interesting people was not necessarily directed toward the woman to answer, Sirenia was simply speaking out to the void. She took another swing from the crystal glass and it flushed throughout warming her inside like a cozy blanket. While turning she noticed a new body at the bar along with another beverage of vodka from the bartender who witnessed her gulping these down without so much as a grimace. Vodka, her ultimate favorite drink thus her semi-high tolerance for the liquid. She was also a social smoker but alas how would that fare with the charity being what it was so she ignored the urge, and gathered her two drinks.

“If you’ll excuse me sweetheart I still have no idea where my seat is, my name is Sirenia St. Claire by the way.” Sirenia said politely to the female artist she had been chatting with before deciding to take off.

She flashed a bright greeting smile to James the man who had arrived not long ago before strutting off holding two glasses with condensation sliding down the side. After these were eventually finished drinking would be placed on hiatus for at least an hour or so. Although she certainly was a bit livelier when intoxicated that would not be a very tasteful first impression to her new neighbors. It was also a wonder how she managed to walk in 6 inch heels and a dress of high glossed rubberized material though she made the whole process look simple--if not a bit bizarre. She gently bit down upon the bottom of her pierced lip while scanning around the tabletops for her name card, and weaving through the crowd.

Tales of Brilliance

“What are you people playing at?! The temple is fine woman.” One of the knights flicked his wrist toward the defeated tower and then tilted his head curiously at how different it appeared. Although the flames were snuffed out completely the smoke remained rising out of the gaping spaces.

The truth of the matter was that they were not properly following their objective and were the furthest possible distance away from the sight without arousing too much suspicion. They would surely be disciplined or worse for not noticing the dire circumstances first or try to blame the entire situation on these strangers who coincidentally wandered by the town. Not much activity or crime happened in Izumo thus the knight patrol were lax in their duties especially during nighttime hours. To confirm this theory the scent of sake could even be smelt on their breath therefore neglecting to notice the fire all this time.

It was the final straw when another man decided to intervene that the Knights decided to take the groups tale into investigation. “An arsonist you say? Hmph...As of now each one of you are suspects and we expect you not to leave before this is settled.” The hostile first knight commanded and pointed sharply at each one including the crimson haired man. His finger hovered in the air an extra second as though it had been rude of the young man to interrupt. Both tipsy Knights threw each other worrisome glances before splitting directions post haste with one headed toward the decimated tower, and the other to gather the authorizes to search for the culprit.

“Foolish Knights” Lumen mumbled in Elvish as the sound of their heavy armor became less apparent with each advancing step. She did not have plans to remain here in a town where they had not even noticed such a troubling event. It could be months before the crime could be solved and time was of the essence. Lumen then turned to face the half-elf, the dark elf, and now the human still not bothering to offer any introductions.

“I find it quite pointless to return to the camp deep in the forest to rest. It is probably best to comply at least till dawn or before it and rest at their Ryokan.” She began walking toward a large multi-tiered building with a wooden sign posted in the ground, which was visible to passersby.

Abruptly she paused for a second so that the dark-elf could hear her well enough. “I am sure if you keep your hood pulled and stand close behind that your appearance will go unnoticed…a blazing fire went unseen under their watchful eye after all.” She emphasized the last sentence and then began walking off again without a gracious thank you to the man in red. She just assumed he would simply go his separate way, and not wish to become involved further with their quest—or whatever this turned into.

When inside the cozy inn Lumen retrieved a small bag that had been tucked safely inside her extravagant gold belt. The guests were greeted by a sleepy older woman in a plain komon kimono who felt no need to ask questions like she usually did, and simply took the payment the elf handed.

“Three rooms…and another just in case a man in red just happens to stay here.” Lumen seemed detached from the situation and her emotions remained static. Once everything was situated Lumen tucked away the money.

“Choose any rooms on the first floor. We have not seen many guests lately.” The old woman bowed to each of them and signaled for them to take their pick.

“Until morning then.” Lumen said before heading into a room for the remainder of dark.

Tales of Brilliance

Lumen watched the graceful and delicate way the half-elf took appreciation of the water granted from Undine, and Lianne instantly won some respect. For years the council pushed propaganda that races other than pureblood elves were a plague upon humanity and could never appreciate Thauma. She had realized once again that their lies couldn’t be further from the truth for this half-elf radiated courtesy, and the ability to disregard Lumen’s race too. Even though Lianne may have found the good in this situation Lumen was beginning to see nothing but trouble and deep seeded questions.

“Surely news of this will spread like the fire someone set to this temple, and we are now involved whether we want to be or not. “

Before Lumen could speak further her intense eyes narrowed a bit toward the new stranger dripping with fresh water from her spell. Unfortunately a sense of humor was not one of her traits otherwise she would have found this particularly funny. She did not even apologize for accidentally soaking him either…Humility was still a work in progress after living a lifetime of bias but she meant well.

“Your assumption would be correct dark-elf.” Lumen stated matter-of-factly. Without further delay she turned to begin trekking down the ever quiet open pathway. She did not glance back to admire her work or see if the acquaintances were following. She did not have any plans to stop them or ask for their assistance regardless because this decision was no one else’s but their own.

“Izumo’s authorizes will indeed be eager to hear about this, though I am not too pleased to be the first addressing the matter.” Lumen honestly disclosed.

With that somewhat settled the straightforward elf’s matching boots in gold outline took graceful steps without hesitation. There was no point now in avoiding patrols since her aim was to disclose what little information she had on the matter…they probably would find this hard to believe that she was not the culprit. If anyone else just so happened to show themselves at the temple they would no longer be greeted by flames. Lumen progressed toward the picturesque town as cherry blossoms fluttered through the cooling breeze. The world kept blossoming even while destruction tried to consume it. Before stepping through a tall tori gate onto a widened footbridge two Izumo knights in traditional cuirass rounded a corner and spotted outsiders. Although they did not draw their katana’s their tone of voice was sharp enough to prove they meant business.

“You there! What businesses do you have here?” The first knight pointed his finger toward the elf.

“You are breaking Izumo’s curfew, speak now!” Another guard chimed and both their displeased expressions were visible enough by the hanging lanterns strewn throughout the village.

“Interesting people? Hmm, yeah. I am certainly not one of them.” Her words sounded wistful yet sincere.

After plucking up the other glass with clear liquid she then smirked at the inquiry, and the use of such vulgar language spouting from a woman who looked especially elegant. “Probably not unless you’re into fetish photography.” She said without shame.

Sirenia did not offer anything further as it was always awkward discussing herself candidly while not in front of a camera. Oftentimes celebrities took these opportunities to subtly advertise themselves to others in separate circles since events like these brought together many different kinds. From her peripheral vision she noticed a man scribbling away in a notebook, and immediately thought that if she ever did wish to start promoting it would probably be best with that gentlemen. The seasoned ones were usually auspicious with interesting careers, and had many enlightening elements on life to consider. He looked especially lost in thought so as a friendly gesture she asked the bartender to order another craft beer, and to pass it to him. In hindsight this probably did not matter since the drinks were probably free.

Drawing her attention once again to the direct woman Sirenia turned to lean her back against the bar so she could overlook the emerging crowd. “I wonder what your definition of an interesting person is.”
