The capital of Crocus had several sets major label sets used for Hollywood productions. Reserved only for the highest budget grossing films, was the Lacrima Engine Fiore Studios, sixteen leagues away from dead center of Fiore, where all the major film producers hoping to sell the latest blockbusters at cinemas would craft their projects. Where hopeful civilians turned into worldwide icons. The stage was established for the well-to-do and for a life of luxury and decadence, so close to the city where people pass by it everyday. And yet, so few would ever have the chance to touch. Yet for Toppa, it would be his first taste not of wealth, but of international fame. And he did not know what to feel about that.
The next big blockbuster: War of the Roses, was to be a fantasy-lacrimapunk rendition of a historical drama between the real houses of York and Lancaster. A tale of blood and betrayal, gritty drama and scandals... now also included, guns, magic, monsters, and of course, gratuitous violence.
They had already struck a major acting role for the main heroine: Illya Pegasus, an internationally well known icon and idol. The rest of the cast would be an all star ensemble as well, directed udner a major budget and a famed producer, this was slated to be an upcoming film that positioned itself to redefine genres of science fiction and modern fantasy. Personally... Toppa felt the writing to be a bit trite whilst memorising the script, but the books themselves were fascinating.
Toppa had struck gold. Metaphorically and physically. Metaphorically in that he had, even in his mild arrogance, never have thought he would be able to make it upon a world stage like this, let alone play in such a major role. And literally because the jewel count (though less important) was no less as impressive.
He had just exited his trailer after being introduced to the set. Every amenity that he required was provided to him by a personal assistant, his needs and wants were lookedafter well by a full team of members ready to ease his role to do nothing but acting. But.... Toppa prefered a personal touch, he was going to say hi to the cast and crew. Having spoken to most of them with a passing hello to build connections already, he was going to have to introduce himself to the biggest starlet of all now. Saving the largest for last.
Nervousness crept up his throat as he walked towards the security team positioned outside the star's trailer. But nevertheless, Toppa stood outside, smiled towards the security personnel, and asked:
"Hi, I'm Toppa, I'm going to be starring beside Illya in the oncoming days and I just wanted to say hello and meet with her. Could you please relay the message for me?"
