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.

With one hundred floors and a 125-foot spire, the Starlight Tower rises high above the Sacrosanct skyline. More than just a landmark, the Starlight Tower offers a unique mix of restaurants, shops, and offices spaced throughout the building. Organized into nine verticle zones, each of which features a sky lobby and a light-filled garden atrium which merge the upscale interior with a faux landscaped exterior setting.
Today had started off terribly. Something had happened near the bridge she called home. While Emmy wasn't exactly sure what had transpired, she knew that it was bad enough that the cops had been out there all night. She assumed that someone had died (probably because of an overdoes, because that's what people did in this part of town) because a coroner had lifted a body-bag and placed it in the back of his all-white van that had "CORONER" painted on the side in all-black lettering. The commotion had simply kept her from sleeping well, if at all.
But by the time the sun had risen, Emmy packed up her most important possessions and headed towards the 24-hr gym that allowed her to use their showers in the morning. The warm water had been a godsend and Emerson had taken a longer shower than perhaps she had intended to, but at least she was clean - and that was more than she could say with a lot of the other homeless people that lived around her.
After she was clean and in a fresh set of clothes, it was time to try and make some money. Emmy clutched her guitar closely to her body as she meandered through the morning crowd until she found her favorite fountain. She parked herself there for several hours, playing and singing with her guitar case open, hoping that someone might give her a couple of dollars for her talents. At some point, she needed to find a real job, but that was a hard thing to accomplish when you spend every waking hour playing for the few dollars that will feel you that day. The life of a homeless woman was not glamorous.
But by the time the sun was beginning to set and she knew her best working time was quacking approaching, the very tired homeless woman needed something to help keep her awake for the next few hours. And so, she slipped into a small little café that had a really good white-chocolate mocha. Not to mention, one of the workers liked her music, so she was always given a discount which was a huge plus when you barely had money for food, let alone a luxury life coffee.
She slipped into one of the tables, sipping her latte and admiring the grand décor in the café. However, as she sipped her coffee, she couldn't pass up that feeling that someone was watching her. Eyes scanned the room until they landed on a brunette woman. Their eyes met momentarily before Emmy quickly dropped her gaze. Damn. She wasn't supposed to catch eyesight with anyone.
