Solaris is a city that never sleeps between international trade, with local and overseas markets opening twelve hours apart, and an active night life centered around movie stars and artists. Being situated on the Blood River has made it a flourishing trade city and it is often called the Gateway of Demoness. It is the second largest city in the nation and is home to Joint Base Diomasachi-Solaris, which overlooks Solaris Bay. During the day, hundreds of ships and planes pass through their respective ports to process international travelers. Traffic hums across the high-speed rails that run trains on precise schedules, though Solaris is one of the few cities that also accommodates automobile traffic. Millions of feet travel its streets and footpaths daily and its skyscrapers are among the most sophisticated in the world: not only are they designed to be environmentally friendly, generating electricity and food through byzantine hydroponics setups, but they also facilitate foot traffic by providing skyways between buildings. While the city grew organically, several attempts to renovate and redirect streets have been made to correct it to a grid structure, though the oldest buildings were spared and have become historical monuments. Though built from steel and concrete, Solaris integrates rather than destroys its natural surroundings in accordance with the country's staunch environmental policy. From skyscrapers to city streets, from the outskirts to the heart of the city, the natural world can be found side by side with the modern world. Chitaels roam freely through the streets, going about their daily business no different from their human counterparts, but the streets are kept clean, both from dirt and from crime by an alert police force. ![]() When night falls, the bustle of the day merges with the flamboyance and extravagance of the night life. Solaris is the capital of the Demonessian film and theatre industries; it is lesser known for its contribution to the music industry, comedy circuit, and fine arts, but they have a large presence within the city's heart. Shows and film premiers open in the evening and performers have their own industry to cater to them; not only do clubs and bars stay open into the wee morning hours, but some costumers, caterers, technicians, and other specialists have night hours solely to support these industries. The premier of the First Lavinarian Film Festival is was a shining beacon of Solaris lavishness. The red carpet was rolled out and people crowded behind the velvet ropes to get a look at the arriving celebrities. Flashbulbs went off like lightning and the dull roar of the gathered was like rolling thunder. There were several reporters from various stations, both local and international, stopping actors, directors, and the like as they walked down the carpet. Toward the back and surrounded by security guards, there were several protesters with signs in Morai; considering how they reacted when the director of Through the Other Side made his appearance, it was safe to assume they were protesting the movie. Despite being practically illegal in Demoness, a red and black sports car roared up to the curb and Eris Katsuragi nonchalantly exited from the driver's side. She sashayed in front of the cameras, certain to stop and pose for every one of them with a wide smile, and she paused often to sign autographs for fans. She wore a low-cut green gown with a slit that run up the entirety of her left leg. Her long white hair cascaded down her back, layered and curled. She wore her newest beau, a man of just twenty-one, on her arm as decoration, and she had been accused of cradle robbing due to their age difference. This was the nicest of accusations, especially throughout her lifetime, as her career had waned since the early 2000s and it was assumed the match was a stunt; she was nearly twice the man's age and his birthday had only been a few weeks ago. She had also managed to secure the position of host and she was indeed very charismatic; it was possible this appearance could revive her career. OOC: Go ahead and describe your characters' arrival. I'll continue the opening ceremony later.

-Kirei stopped and smiled as she answered. "I think I covered everyone who needed to be thanked in my speech, but I don't think I gave my mother enough credit. I've been acting since I was a child and even though I didn't get my first major break until I was in my twenties, I never would have gotten this far without her. She took several jobs to help pay for acting lessons and missed several opportunities to help me follow my dream. I love you, Aya!" -Lie shook his head. "The Academy has spoken. Aniol Wolii is a great film and I have several awards under my belt. My concern is for Ms. Kindle and her disease." -Lila Raimi, the director for Fox in the Dale laughed. "I guess we didn't do quite as well as I thought we did. It also means I lost a bet and I need to get out of here before the collector comes." She smiled. "Congratulations to the cast of Forteca." -Des smiled. "I'm still on a cloud. It might take a few days for it to sink in. I'm a relative newcomer to the other actors on the film and other nominees, so this certainly was a surprise! It was an honor just to be nominated." -Rowena's smile suddenly fell. "The entertainment industry ignores the plight of stunt workers and it's obvious from what happened during the show that they would like nothing less than to sweep it under the rug. People have died doing these stunts - not because we're not taking precautions, but because they're dangerous. That's what makes them 'stunts' and that's what makes them entertaining. We might not be as glamorous as the rest of the stars, but we're equally important to the story process." |
