East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

This is where Hollywood cues the delusion,
that everything looked this blue through Sinatra's eyes.




It wasn't often that Eleanor found herself in front of a mirror, aging and dirty cosmetic utensils at her fingertips on the bathroom counter. But the silence of this grand space was getting to her, the almost inaudible hum of the heater, keeping the coldblooded minx's flat at a comfortable 80-degree warmth despite the moderate spring weather outside. But the walls were bare and white washed, and her footsteps still echoed against the high ceilings, even when she was barefooted. She needed to get out of here. Cracked and blistered fingers worked to apply the blue eyeliner to her vibrant green eyes, thick smudges darkening the thin skin around her eye socket. Her pale complexion contrasted nicely with the bright ruby red lipstick she painted across her thin lips. With a swift nudge of her fingers, her short dark locks atop her head fell into perfect disarray. She stared at herself in the mirror for a good long minute more, feeling awkward and anxious all at the same time.

She drank from the half-empty bottle of Jameson rolling near the bare mattress in the middle of the floor of her master bedroom. The warm brown liquid stung as it slid down her throat, warming her insides on the way to her stomach. She didn't want to go back to the university, back to her cell, where she drew and painted and sculpted for hours. The fact that she had a designated place for this kind of work still irked her, but it was paying the bills and no one had attempted to restrain the type of things she crafted or designed just yet. Before though, her sketches never felt like work. She'd doodle to no end, drafting images of naked human forms and scenes from out her window for hours on end without so much as a second thought about the time of night. Here though, in Sacrosanct, she had to travel to work. She had to talk about her work. She had to make appearances at galleries and university events. Although they couldn't get her to talk to all the strangers just yet, Wasp put on a pretty face and drifted idly through the crowds, eyes meeting those of the weirdos who were paying so much money for her shit work.

Not tonight. Instead of staying holed up in this apartment, or inviting that idiot with the massive cock from school over again, she was going to do something stupid. Eleanor operated more like an asexual person by habit, there was still a strong sensual drive within her, one that existed equally for people of both sexes. Some would deem her promiscuous, for her sexual exploits were frequent, although mostly at random. Men she'd seen just a handful of times around town. The 40-year-old cyclist who lived downstairs. The hooker that came into the neighborhood tavern upon occasion, looking for late night work. The drummer from a town over that played at the bar once or twice. It was a need, a desire she did not hesitate to act upon. Relationships were rarely formed, and even when they did, they did not last long. Eleanor was not an outwardly emotional person. There was a disconnect there, an inability within her to show affection. Those that she did consider close to her were nothing more than platonic friendships.

Tonight she was on the prowl, for lack of a better term. She heard some girls in the art school building's bathroom talk about this club, and was surprised how she moved past the bouncer at the door with such ease. Adorned in a black dress and her usual clunky knee-high boots, she easily blended into the background, watching as the bodies moved in every which way underneath the bright lights of the dance floor. She should have done that bump before she left because now, she felt brittle and weak, a blemish among the social elite in this city. Eleanor grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered several shots in a succession. The liquor washed up the walls of her stomach, joining the whiskey there that came before, and her cheeks grew ruby red and hot to the touch in the afterglow. She wanted to meet some nameless person tonight and never see them again come morning. She wanted to run through the streets of this city wildly drunk and to later be naked, tangled in the sheets of some stranger's bed. So she raised a slender finger, signaling the bartender for another round.

She hapharzardly drifted to the dance floor, the liquid courage from her buzz driving her through the masses until she found a spot under the flashing lights that suited her. There she aimlessly moved her body, mostly with her eyes closed, until she felt the hot breathe of another at the back of her neck. Her wide, green eyes shot open then, her tattooed neck craning so she could get a good look at him. She smirked at him, pleased with what she saw, and merely nodded. He would do. "Wasp." she said close to his ear, trying to speak over the music. She then pressed herself firmly against him, feeling his body over her backside, and kept moving.
