This is a city of lights, neon signs and starless skies. In this city there are people, weary eyed adults, fanciful teenagers and ever-naïve children. Then there are…those people. They are the ones who are on top, flawless faces and beautiful smiles. To the city people, they are no different from them, just more radiant. But these seemingly perfect beings are far from that.

The utter perfection the city sees is all but a lie. They are people who attained ultimate beauty, but everything comes with a price. Behind those perfect shells, they are breaking apart, one by one. They are struggling with inner demons, the price they had to pay in order to receive the gift of beauty. Always, always, the ghosts of the past are haunting them. They are a society of people known only to the world as the Flawless.

But a story does not only have one side to it. There are those who despair that they cannot be as beautiful as those who have obtained utter perfection. They despise the Flawless, and are trying to overthrow them. They too struggle with inner demons, insecurities and hateful feelings. We know this group of people as the Broken.

Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? — Edgar Allan Poe

The sky was dark, though at the same time completely illuminated with lights, flashing neon signs, and the cars rushing by. The city was full of life from the late night clubbers to the somewhat drunk couples on dates. For Edgar though, it was just a night of drinking to drown out his problems. He swiveled in the barstool, looking out the window. They walked among us, though in secret and sometimes out in the open. They being the Flawless of course. He grit his teeth, closing his eyes. It hurt to even think of that. He downed the rest of the liquor, putting down some money and walking out the door. He needed to stop thinking about that even though he knew he couldn't.

“One last shot, Felicity, and we’re done for the night!” the photographer announced rather grandly as the camera flashed one last time in her eyes while the girl smiled, her right hand to her hip and leg popped outwards. “Alright, that’s a wrap!” Felicity Morgan, best known as Lissy, ran a hand through her dark locks and headed towards the dressing room to change into her regular clothing. Swinging her bag over her shoulder, the girl walked out of the studio, surprised that it had grown dark so suddenly.

Walking down the street, her lips curled up in a natural smile, occasionally nodding at a few passing people while they just stood there, mouths agape. It had been like this ever since…that day. Lissy didn’t like to think about it, but the memory always found a way back inside her head.

Edgar had his hands in his pocket and his face looking ahead. He wished that he had worn sunglasses, though it wouldn't make sense at night. He sighed, taking out a hand to run through his gray hair. His life must have been damn stressful in order for his hair to turn from black to gray so quickly. Well okay, it was already gray by the time he got out of high school. He blinked his eyes, stiffening a little when he saw a girl come in his direction. People were standing with their jaws hanging out at this girl. A Flawless.

Lissy’s eyes were trained on the path in front of her now, only occasionally murmuring to an enthusiastic person, “No, no autographs.” Her gaze shifted on various faces, all of them with the same transfixed expression. Closing her eyes, she smiled again, quickening her pace. “No pictures either!” the brunette yelled as they started to take out cameras, though the charming smile was still on her face. Before long she had bowed her head in defeat, walking even faster before ramming straight into someone. The first impression was that she had run into someone much older, but upon further inspection, it was someone probably around her age. “I’m so sorry! Are you alright?”

Edgar was put off balance, half stepping backward. "Fine." His voice held a suppressed annoyance in it. Admittedly she was beautiful, but clumsy. She had been running without looking after all. He grit his teeth, trying to tell himself to calm down, but all those memories seemed to come back like a flood.

Tsuki was walking around, singing softly a gypsy tune when she
saw a beautiful yet clumsy girl, likely and obviously a Flawless
bump into an older boy. Though she couldn't tell the given situation,
the boy seemed so bitter and angry towards the girl---though she'd seemed
to have apologized. But her smiles seemed to have no charm, but fakeness.

She decided it was now or never as she walked over.
"Are you alright? ..." she trailed off, not knowing his name.
He was obviously at least 4 years older than her, but she didn't care.
She wanted to stop his resentment, and stop her own emotions from harboring.

Edgar nodded, closing his eyes or a moment. Well she obviously wasn't a Flawless and quite younger than him. Probably still in high school. This made him wonder why she was out so late, but that didn't matter.

"So...What's your name?" Tsuki asked softly, seeing that the
older boy had calmed down. "Mine's...Tsuki, pleased to meet you."
she smiled, just a teensy smile and held out her hand for a handshake
in proper terms of meeting a person.

"Ed." Edgar answered slightly rudely, not shaking Tsuki's hand. He was drunk enough to where he was meaner than usual, but not enough to pass out or even pretend he didn't have problems.

((got to go soon! ><;;))
"I see..." Tsuki put her hand down.
"Well than, do you need a place to stay? Come along,
before you run into any more trouble." she brought Ed, to
an almost invisible ((due to the trash surrounding it))
Gypsy Cart-like vehicle that seemed empty. "Rest for a bit,"
as she sung softly, "There's no place, like the moonlight, where
witches go dancing---" and trailed off, until, she herself, had long fallen asleep.

((Okay))
Edgar felt himself being dragged towards a gypsy cart. "I don't need to rest and for that matter I do have a place to stay." He had an annoyed look on his face as he faced the young girl. He had his own apartment room and didn't go around staying with strangers. Well she was asleep so then he was able to slip out, quietly going out of the vehicle, though cursing when there was a loud crunch. He stepped on an old soda can.

Jaded had been perched on the roof of a nearby building waiting for this paticular flawless to emerge.

Jaded had seen the run in the flawless had with the rather craby older looking guy that was obiously not a flawless and watched her appoligise with that fake beatiful smile that she desperatly wanted to knock right off her pretty little perfect face.

Jaded quickly made her way down the building and started following Felicity as she had for a while now.
She had been following Felicity around for a while now watching where she went how she moved,

She knew how fake everything Felicity did was and she hated her more and more for it.

Jaded knew she would start her revenge fueled flawless killing rampage with this flawless, for it was
Felicity that Jaded had been trying to be like when she had gotten her boyfriend Jace killed.

Jaded shook her head trying to dispell the thoughts that came all too much to her consious mind.

'Just stay on task J.' J was a nickname Jace had called her frequently and so had her only friend Violet.

So Jaded made her way following Felicity off into the night.

Watching as the two just talk amongst themselves, Lissy tilted her head to the side and shrugged. Oh well, she had apologized and there wasn’t much she could do after that then. With a slight spring in her step that the crowd following her had disappeared, she walked down the street, swinging her bag around. It always made her feel much better when they weren’t staring at her. Slipping her hand into her pocket and looking for her apartment keys, Lissy glanced around, just to make sure that no one had followed her before taking a turn down a block to the rows of apartments lined up neatly next to each other.

Top model? Obviously, yes. Rich? No, no, not even close. The city could barely afford to keep the electricity bills at the rates it was glowing, with those lights glimmering and shining everywhere. Not that anyone knew about anything, they just automatically assumed that all Flawless lived in big mansions and beautiful houses. That wasn’t it. Most of them were just like the others, trying to make a living in this neon city. “Good evening, Biscuit!” she greeted, bending down to pat her neighbor’s dog on the head.

Tsuki woke up to find the older boy gone. 'Ah well...
I suppose it wouldn't have done well for him to stay...'
she thought, brushing her skirt clean. She went out to a near by
spring to cleanse herself and wake up. She sighed a lonesome
sort of sigh, as she finished up cleansing herself when she went
to get her clothes, but they were gone. Cursing her luck, she grabbed
her towel---which hadn't been taken and carefully tried to make her
way towards the gypsy cart with no one noticing. 'Man...' she thought
hopelessly. 'This seriously sucks. How am I going to get back without being seen?'
as she saw a whole bunch of people out walking in the streets (due to the Flawless)
whom were smiling and posing around people with cameras.

Edgar found himself back on the streets, though slightly fatigued from the lack of sleep. Well that and he definitely needed a drink. He was soon at a familiar bar that wasn't quite as nice as some of the stores. It had a sort of homey feel like drinking in his own apartment only not as dirty. The walls were wooden, though covered by various plaques, vandalisms, license plates, and an occasional painting. He sat at one of the tables, tossing a handful of peanuts into his mouth as he waited for a waiter.

Tsuki found a back alley and dodged into a door that lead to
some kind of staff room for a bar. 'I can definitely NOT be allowed in here...'
she thought. She caught her eye at a waitress's uniform lying around and a makeup vanity. ((no clue why there's one. XDD;;)) 'Maybe...I can.'

She grabbed the outfit and dressed as fast as the wind. Applying make-up to
look legibly old enough to work in a bar, and grabbed a wig lying around
from who knew who's it was?

She took out a pad and studied a nearby menu
as she memorized it with her good memory for short term times. Walking confidently,
-or trying to- She went over to a likely customer who hadn't ordered yet.
Little did she know it was Ed, the older boy she'd met before.
"May I take your order?" she asked with careful expertise, hoping to cover
the shock she felt as he turned her way.

Edgar heard the steps of a waiter or maybe a waitress (he wasn't too sure) until he looked up to see an older version of that girl from earlier, Tsuki right? He was bad with names. There was no way that she could suddenly age that fast. And was she stalking him or something? He had to talk to the manager later. Yeah I'd like one large explanation with a leave me alone to go. He didn't say that out loud though, deciding to try and contain his temper for once. "Yeah, two beers too."

As Jaded Followed Felicity as she near the turn that would take her to her row of appartments,

Jaded Followed carefully always sticking close to the shadows blending in with the only the ivory skin of her face being shown from beneith her ebany hood,

No other skin escaping through her long black dress and gloves that reached mid bicep.

Jaded stepped on a stick snapping it sighlently cursing and ducking behind a garbage can not even breathing in hopes that she would go unnoticed.

Turning around at the sudden noise, looking up and eyes alert for any subtle movements. They knew they couldn’t follow her when she was going home, they knew that. Clutching tight onto her bag until her knuckles turned white, Lissy walked towards the initial direction of the noise. “I know you’re there, so spare me the trouble and come out already!”

Jaded cursed under breath she didn't realize that there might a brain to go with those looks she waited a moment desiding whether or not she was going just leave if she didn't reveal herself.

Jaded descided that she probally wouldn't and she was already stalking her so she figured that this was as good a time as any to reveal herself and take her revenge.

Jaded didn't intend to kill her just marr her and take away her presious beauty.

As Jaded took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the garbage can that she was behind and looked at Felicity with the stare of death that she always reserved for the flawless.

Her eyes immediately narrowed slightly at the death glare, scanning the girl standing in front of her carefully. “I suppose, you are one of them?” Lissy inquired the tone of her voice unreadable as she took a step backwards just in case. She had heard about those people, they didn’t like the Flawless one bit, and had plans to destroy them. Lifting up her head, she stared straight back at the girl, dark eyes still narrowed as she carefully observed.

Jaded knew exactly what she was talking about when she had called her one of "them"

"Well if you mean one of 'them' as is one of the people that don't think your worth a damn and don't drop their jaw and gawk every time they see you.

If you mean that I'm one of 'them' that would rather seee you badly injured or dead, then yes I am one of 'them'." Jaded said as cold as an icicle.

Jaded took out her blade as it glimmered in the lights of the city.
