Event: Hollywood! / Aphros as you like
Scenario A
Out of all the jobs Orihime had wanted to try...an astronaut, a baker, a teacher...she never dreamed she'd become an actress. It was strange to leave Karakura Town with her meager belongings packed up and shipped to the States. Strange to say goodbye to her friends, even though she'd been told she would have so much money that a weekend jaunt to visit whenever she wanted would keep her from getting too homesick for them. "When you're not too busy signing autographs!" her agent chuckled.
And it was strange to think that she was standing on American soil. America! And Hollywood no less, stuffed with movie stars and bright lights and handprints in the sidewalk and fancy restaurants and giant studios...!
For a long moment she just stood there on the sidewalk, head tipped back, eyes wide with wonder as she tried to take it all in. She couldn't. Her smile just kept getting bigger and bigger. She knew that the homesickness would sink in soon enough, but for now? She was going to enjoy this opportunity. It was incredible to think that she might soon be entertaining people on the big screen, making them laugh, and doing some little bit of good in her own dorky way.
So she took off at an exuberant run, giddy with the warm air and twilight colors as the backdrop against glittering bulbs and signs, and a sea of cars humming down the boulevard. She was going to see all of it! ...Well, maybe not the strip clubs or the buildings without windows with promises of three X's, but almost all of it!
(OOC: Feel free to pick a spot! A restaurant, gallery, the Hollywood sign, a seedy back alley... You can be a friendly fellow actor, her agent, or even someone from back home who didn't want to see her go. Choose whatever inspires you!)
Scenario B
She couldn't believe how late it was. After spending hours of running around Hollywood, she'd finally made it back to the hotel suite that had been arranged for her to occupy while her future penthouse apartment was being set up with new furniture and the movers unpacked her things. A whole week in a place like this...! Everything was so pristine and elegant. Cream colored sheets and carpet, a real potted plant, a hot tub, and best of all, a beautiful view of the city from her balcony.
Right now, all she was seeing was her pillow. After shuffling through the door, she'd slipped off her shoes, and staggered straight for the bed to collapse face first onto the covers. She'd never had a real bed before, and it was the softest bed she'd ever had the joy to experience. Orihime breathed in, and breathed out, wearing a smile of the utmost contentment. Whether she made it big or not, she didn't really care. She'd always have a home to go back to. At the present time, however, she was going to enjoy every little thing. The chocolate on her pillow was already devoured.
After lying on her stomach for several peaceful moments, she rolled over onto her back and stared up at the ceiling. What should she do first? Sleep was tempting, but out of the question. She still had yet to soak in the hot tub, and she really wanted to try room service.
Finally, her mind made up, she slid off of the bed and padded across the room to find the complimentary bath towel in her closet. The answer was obvious: enjoy both!
(OOC: Any role you want, go for it. Room service person, fellow actor/big shot mistakenly assigned to the same room, friend from home who followed her here, etc.)
Scenario C
Orihime was given one day to settle in and recover from the jet lag. After that, it was time to get to work. She chattered cheerfully to her agent when he arrived to take her to the studio, pointing out various sights and wonders out of the limousine window as they rolled down the street. At least he didn't have to worry about her energy levels, despite a late night on the town. She was full of excitement, and determined to give her best to the role she was assigned.
The new actress was introduced to the film crew, the producer, and the director, who gave her a brief rundown of the scene she would be auditioning from and the character's motivations. Then she was directed to the dressing rooms to change into costume. Orihime was just glad there would be real costumes involved, since that meant she would be involved in something with a lot of creativity, maybe even adventure!
Her agent left her to dress, giving her rapidfire advice with every step he took until he was out the door. She clasped her hands together and took a deep breath, hoping she would do well, hoping she wouldn't let her agent down. He'd invested a lot of time and money in her, and she didn't even have the part yet. For his sake, she would do her best.
(OOC: This could be just an innocent Hollywood film, or something with a higher rating, or even a seedy film. Whether or not she knows, it's up to you! If she does know, then she'll be willing to perform whatever scene she's directed to play. If she doesn't know, your role could be that of the seducer, or the rescuer that's come to pull her out of a dangerous situation. I'm game for anything you want to do!)
