Adascopolis

Claramay paused, and glanced at a certain building that looked as if it would be a good place to stay. once she came closer and saw the rates for the night she shook her head. Peering down at her person she shrugged her shoulders. She was not completely broke.... but she did not have quite as much money as she normally did. Travel had taken it's tole on her funds. She would have do downgrade.

With a sigh she continued walking down the streets, peering here and there, realizing it was still rather early in the day she decided to simply pause. Leaning up against a wall, she looked up at the sky. The people around her regarded her little, for she was not of their race and there fore must be lesser.... or so Clarama thought that was what they were thinking. She sighed, her beauty was wasted here.... perhaps she could go to another world... if she had the funds for it, and find another place to settle down.

*This cigarr and this champaign didnt have the taste, the exitement it had before. It was just flat... gray. Boring. Somehow, only time Ignatius lived in the last couple of years, was when he did his research. Trying to find out the essence of life, the essence of will. Oh... of course, doing it, coming up to the finnish was something he has mastered also, pushing it to an art...
He WAS a man of art. Artiste...*

"STOP! Stop the car!"

*He said suddenly as his eyes had stopped on something... someone. She was not Arkanian, THAT was for sure. That red hair of hers was the first to sqeek about that fact, like a great blinking sign in all this white and blue. Human skin. Is it a human? How boring... but still, something was different...

Ah... the ear. It was giving her face such a special aspect. She was surely very fond of it, making her so special in a world where the rest of her bodily features made her human. He was wondering what she would do to have him not cut it off...

And as he wondered, he realised that the car has been standing right in front of her, parking by the curb. A lovely new shining hover-limmo.*

Claramay paused and peered at the expensive hover vehicle for a moment, a little confused as to why it had stopped in front of her. Perhaps it was one of the richer Arkanian's going to make some off comment about how she should not be on their planet. She did not know, but still, it kind of set her off a bit. She took a slow step back, peering at the transport for another long moment, waiting on soemthing to happen, yet keeping out of reach of anyone within the limo.

She clasped her hands before her after shouldering her bag and cocked her head in a questioning manner. Her blue eyes shined with a curious nature to them, as to what would happen next, finally, perhaps some excitement.

*So, the situation was rather interresting. The girl stopped, and just as she did, a Limmousine, a very expensive one it seemed stopped right in front of her. No chance it stopped besides anyone else, as everyone elese seemed rather focussed on their own, walking either left, or right, out of the picture...

And then, the limmousine oppened, the door oppened towards her, right in front of her, showing the inside witch was light, and friendly, with a large leather seat, made really well... it looked luxury, and highly attractive.*

*Claramay was even more shocked to see the limo door open before her. She let her green eyes peer inside for a moment... she did not see anyone else.... was the driver, or who ever owned such a wonderfully lavish vehicle offering her a ride within it? or something.... but why? she was not Arkanian.... and chances were, that someone this wealthy would be arkanian...so... this was a puzzle. She tilted her head and chanced to speak before venturing farther. *

Hello? .... can i help you?

She asked, in a questioning manner just what this person wanted with her.

*the voice was deadly fammiliar. Of course, Ignatius had been in most of the major blockbuster movies, and his early ones were allready classics, even while he was alive. Surely this lovely creature had allready seen a movie or two, and would feel his voice to be something she should have a face connected to, but couldnt place it perfectly.*

"Actually no my dear. I saw you there, a black sheep amongst all this arrogant blue, and thought you might need help, directions, maybe even some advice or friendship. Come in, sit. I insist."

*Claramay peered inside again... yes she knew the voice... and for a moment pondered on weather it was true or not. Even so it was difficult for her to believe .... why would such a man be speaking to the likes of her? She was not of his race... and he was Arkanian. Perhaps she had the wrong idea about them. Perhaps this one had lived the life of posh extravagance so long that he was board with it. Either way.... she felt she would be foolish not to accept this man's offer, and so, she spoke softer this time, with a hint of a giggle laced within her voice, an excited giggle.*

Well sir... if ... you insist.

She said, and ventured into the hover limo, making herself comfortable on the leather seat, and peering around in awe at the interior of the vehicle.

I was.. well....uh, really i was just kind of... looking for some where to stay for a little while, until I decided weather this would be the right place for me or not....

She stammered, peering around again, not really counting on such a man as this to accept a wondering like her into his care, but he had asked ... some what and she had answered.

*He was a handsome man, oh yes, a charming person to see on tv, movie screen or holo.... not to mention to meet. He had a lovely cristall glass in his right, with some light blue liquid in it, surely some ind of expensive alcohol. His left just killed a cigarr, its strong aroma was felt in the limmo.
He was old, but had the charming attire, stilish suit, and friendly face. The feeling of a good person.

Inside, he was looking her over, her body, wondering what would make her scream and beg for death, and wondering how mutch time of teaching would it take him to learn her, to make her understand how important his work is.

He smiled lightly.*

"I understand what you mean. You are young, with the entire galaxy in front of you, so many options, and so many things to do. It is like standing in front of a wall filled with movies never really knowing what one wants to watch, no?"

She nodded slowly as she took in his appearance. A light smile came to her white features and her eyes danced with some sort of delight. WIthin her mind she was thanking her lucky stars for being picked up by such a charming, and obviously rich man as this. She did or course know who he was... he was one of her favorite actors, and he seamed to fall right in with the part. At present, she was figuring him to be exactly what she thought him to be off camera. It was a rather pleasant surprise.


I suppose... I've tried a few things, some not so pleasant things i can say, as far as what i want to do with the rest of my life... I'm not quite sure.

She said, placing her hands in her lap. She cocked her head for a moment and spoke again.

how did you get into movie making and acting? .... I'm curious.

"C4, just drive for a while please."

*The doors closed, and the car started to move.*

"How I got into acting? It is a rather Ironic story, and I am sure you would have the feeling of deja vu. A director wanted soemone with a special kind of features, as his star actor died in an acident, and the movie would have to been laid down.

I stood on the street, wondering what to do now, no money, nowhere to sleep... I was lost in life. And a limmousine stopped beside me, and asked to enter for a warm caff, and some talking. I was afraid, paranoid, with all right. This IS an evil world, but I had luck, witch I will always be thankfull for."

Claramay looked slightly shocked at the story... was he emplying something? She tried not to let her mind run off with itself. Turning her head, she ran her white fingers through her short red hair and sighed, speaking plainly as if to herself.

I wonder... If i have some sort of luck...

She frowned slightly, and then looked back at him with a thin smile.

I don't suppose i do. A lot of things hve happened in my life, and they were rarely good..... That story is one of the few i've heard...that actually has a happy ending. I'm glad for you. Honestly ... you make a very good Actor....

She said, trying to contain herself, her emotions... but she did a pretty good job of it,

"Thank you."

*Oh... he didnt have to be told. This entire story was a strait lie from the top of the tree... the hovercar just exited the highway, and now was going through some large woods, to a large mannor.*

"I hope you dont mind to sleep at my place. It is getting late, and I was actually heading home. Dont worry, I have 23 bedrooms you may choose from.
If you like, we could watch some movies, some directors cut futage never seen by the public?"

*He changed subject... was scouring the girls face for reactions. Will this be easy? or will he have to drag her in by her hair, or a hook through her nose, bleeding, screaming and begging?

Now, we would see.*

She bit her lip for a few moments as she pondered this. A place to stay.... that would be nice... and he was an actor...She was already feeling relaxed around him. She nodded slowly as she smiled slightly. Then she frowned slightly as she spoke.

I ... I wouldn't want to impose sir.... if it is too much trouble... I'm sure i can find another place.


She paused again. He seamed like perhaps he could simply use some company. After all 23 rooms was a lot of empty space.

But if it is not too much to ask.. i would love to... thanks a lot.

he mouth dropped opened as she looked at the large house. She had never seen such a large structure dedicated to living reasons strictly. Her eyes danced with delight, as she wondered what all could be in it.... how big were the rooms inside... the thought was exciting for her.

I love movies!

She finally said, trying to get her mind off of what was going on... it was , or seamed to be, too good to be true.

*It was a rather Imposing structure. Not only for living, there were some studio locales, special effects lab and such in there, place where he cut the movies, and so on. It was built in neo Gothic stile, a rather frightfull building in an exiting way. It was like the ghost houses, ships told off in rumors and Horror movies, but tidy and well maintained.

Surely, Ignatius loved movies, and lived for them, even in them.*

"WOuld be my pleasure dear."

*And my pleasure only, he thought, as the door oppened of the limmo, and Ignatius reached his hand out to help her out of the limmo, him still inside, letting the woman go first, like a gentleman.*

She smiled as she left the hover limo and stood, starring in slight shock at the house. It was so.... large... in a elegantly evil kind of way. Excitement welled within her... she loved it.... Some of her favorite movies seamed to have such a structure within it.... it was like stepping out of reality and into a movie world. Clasping her hands at her chest she sighed.

This .... this is magnificent sir

She exclaimed with much delight as she waited on him. She woudl not just run to the house.... for that would be rude... but still... it was really a wonderful structure.

*He got out of the car, and it drove itself into the garrage on some side they didnt have sight on.*

"Yes... yes... built it after my first Film Noir Horror movie. This entire place is actually requisits. I liked it so mutch, so I got it remade to a living and working house, and moved in. But the waterworks are really bad though... shall fix it someday. Shall we go in?"

Claramay listened to every word coming from his lips, excitedly. Her hands were clasped before her chest in a gleeful eager manner as she looked at the house as if it would be the world just to go into it.

I like Horror........ most of the time. It makes me squeal... hah,

She shut up quickly as he asked his question and she turned her head to look at him with her blue eyes. Her grin swept to her face and a light giggle came from her frame, ending quickly, as soon as she caught it.

Oh yes! .. Yes please.. i would love to see the inside of your house.

She said, in a giddy manner.

"And I will be your gracious host!"

*Oh... and you will see it from the inside, he thought. See it, feel it, and help me. Help me understand. YOU wont understand my beauty, but that is a different question. The cause is more important then you, lowly creature.

As he spoke, he bowed in a dramatised fascion, his arm extedning towards the door, like a skilled buttler he showed her in, insisting just by body language. His charming smile, and old wringled face, that more shone of wisdom then age aimed that smile at her, and her only.*

"Come my dear. Casa Dearborne awaits you!"

*With that, he took of towards the gate, a great, half dozen meters tall wooden double doors...*

Claramay followed the other eagerly. She giggled at his over extended motions and shook her head. For a short moment she forgot how famous he was, and how lost and kind of confused she had been. Her troubles melted away rather quickly, just being in his presence, and feeling the kindness and excitement within his heart. She walked beside him, 'oooing' and 'aweing' at several things that caught her eye.

This place... really is magnificent. I can't imagine where one such as you, finds the time to show some random person like me around.

She stopped with that nonsense. Who cared why he was doing so. The point was, he was a nice person, willing to bring joy into the heart of someone like her. She finally giggled once again and just accepted that, trying not to look foolish before him with her awed struck expression.

"Oooh... I am just an old man any more with a lot of memmories. This is the hall, the main one of course. If you like, I can show off my movie collection in the basement later."

*he pointed down a lit hall. Swiftly, a droid walked up to them, thin, servitor droid.*

-C4-
"Master! And a mistress, welcome home. Anything you wish master?"

"Hello there C4, could you show the lady to the bathroom, so she knows where the closest one is, and give her anything she needs? Do you need to go to the bathroom dear?"

*He asked. He was hoping to, they had gone ofr about a hour outside the city, and he didnt guess she had been to the bathroom for a while before he picked her up. It was close now...*
