《Omni-System User》Chapter 8

In the backseat, Lefu appeared sitting next to Clare as they watch as the trees passing by. The two of them didn’t say a single thing as Camilla, sitting in the passenger seat was explaining how it works on set. As for Bill, who was kind of enough was driving without a single break, for the last two and half hours.
Realizing after the first hour of the car ride, Lefu realized that Camilla was a chatterbox and will talk about any and everything that come to mind. Gradually he lost interest in she was saying and copied Clare and watched out the window. After another thirty minutes have passed, the car pulled off and head down the dirt road.
At the end of the of the dirt road, a cottage appeared, with many staff were running around setting up cameras or arranging props needed for the scene. Pulling off to the side, Bill parked the car and the three of them excited. With a slight wave, he turns the car around and left leaving them behind, which also confused Lefu.
As if noticing his confusion, Camilla cleared it up, “He took his leave as there nothing for to do here until we need to leave, If we need him before then a simple call and he will be back. Now follow me as I will introduce you guys to the cast and director.”
Following her, Lefu and Clare followed as they approached a group of 6 against 3 fighting among themselves. From the look of things, they seem to be talking about the two beginners who starting today. Leading the opposing side was a man looking to be nearing forty and Lefu recognized him as John Hangling.
Besides John, there were five others, but their expressions were panic as they wanted to be away from him. Facing him was a man appearing to be around sixty or so, was listening to his complaint and wore headphone around his neck. Next to him was two in staff uniforms ready to jump in if fists start flying.
“I don’t want to work with the two noobs with no history of acting.” John was shouting, while his expression was calm.
“These two were recommended by Kevin Zurie, the CEO of the corporation we’re attached to. But if you still don’t want to work, we’ll have to cut you. And for the rest of you, feel free to join him,” the older man calmly stated causing John face to flush red from rage, while the five turned pale.
“You can’t fire me, I’m one of the most popular characters to the show!” John shouted in retaliation.
We arrived behind the older man, John shoots a hateful stare at us, causing Clare to sneer at him, while Lefu seemed uninterest with him as he the least favorite character from the show. With a bored expression he looked at John, who was fuming while thinking ‘How can a nobody give me that look’ or something, Lefu guessed.
“Director Keegan, Good morning,” Camilla greeted the older man, and an image pops up into Lefu head as it the director to ‘Dragon of Man’ a famous martial arts movie.

“Morning Camilla, and I’m assuming these two are Kevin recommendation.” He said taking his eyes off John and scanning the two of them. After examining the two, he nodded his head as if he was thinking of something.
What he was looking at was Lefu in black dress pants with a black dress shirt with the top button undone showing off his skin never tans or burn no matter how long he under the sun. With the uninterested looked his eyes he seemed like an eternal being bored with life. When he shifted his sight to Clare, she was wearing a white dress and appeared to have a bleak outlook on everyone around her but tender love in her eyes.
“These two are perfect for the roles,” he nearly shouted, confusing the two as they crunch their eyebrows.
The two of them unconsciously brought out their characters traits, which told Keegan that they were highly talented in the field of acting. Realizing that he hit the jackpot with these two, he totally forgot about John and his tantrum.
Reaching out with both hand he rapidly shook their hands, before Camilla stuck out her hand to block him. With a strange look in his eyes, he shot it towards her wanting a reason she prevented him.
“I know you’re excited about them, but you're going to scare them away,” she stated, calming himself down.
“You’re right Camilla, but it rare to see this level of talent and two at once no less,” Keegan explained as he saw stars looking at them.
John who was still fuming from being ignored, clutch his fists as he heard the praises the two to receive. He was angry that he had to work his way up, the industry and gaining his tiny bit of fame, yet these two unknown teenagers appeared and get praised.
“How do you know if they’re any good. these two might not have any experience being on set or a stage for that matter.” John comment with a hint of I knows the best attitude.
“Where do you get your arrogance from?” Lefu commented in his bored state and gave him uninterested look as if he the Immortal King looking down on a lowly mortal. From his side, Keegan's eyes were glowing as this is what he was looking for.
“Wh-what! Boy, how dare you talk to me like that.” John replied in shock at the way he was being treated. He who worked nearly twenty years in this industry was being called arrogant by this newcomer who he figured never acted in his life.
“Calm down, John you’re over twice his and have more experience than him,” Camilla commented from the side.
Instead of calming down his rage grew, before shouting,”I AM CALM!”
Growing annoyed with John attitude Director Keegan, he faced John before ordering him to take a walk with the other five to cool their heads. Watching him march off to the otherside of the cottage, he turned around and began the scene their shooting today.

“We are shooting the scene where Camilla, who plays the vampire queen digs the two of you up in the basement after being sealed for two hundred years. After opening the coffins, John who play the police chief storms in with others and fighting ensue until your guys retreat into the outside. Any questions?”
Speaking up, Lefu asks, “Are there a certain way you want us to fight?”
With a light smack to his head, he laughed as it appeared it slipped his mind. Quickly talking into his mic attached to his shirt, a man performed a few moments later. The man looked to be in his late thirties and enjoys bodybuilding as he a towering muscle mass.
“This is Paul, and he in charge of the fight scenes organization where they plan and teach the actor how the scene plays out. By the way, does any of you two practice martial arts?” Keegan asked the two.
“My family owns a gym which offers seven different martial arts style, so I been training since I could walk.” Lefu simply replied.
“I learned a few styles for self-defense in case I get kidnapped,” Clare answered right after.
“Well then it only going to take few minutes to get the moves down then,” Camilla clap her hands together and smiled. Looking over to Paul he was shaking his head in agreement.
“You two go learn then, Paul will lead you over to the makeup artists, and get your outfits for the scene,” Keegan stated before he walked away to directed where he wants the cameras placed and gather information from his staff.
Camilla quickly gave them a thumbs up before heading off toward her changing room. Leaving the spot soon they followed Paul to the back of the cottage where few other actors were warming up either stretching or using a movement from the scene.
Leading them over to the corner so they won’t disturb others, Paul began to explain in high pitch voice you wouldn’t expect out of him. It wasn’t high enough to be squeaky but also wasn’t low either. He began demonstrating the punching motion and how to use it without hurting the other actors. After showing a few more forms, it reminds Lefu of a performer than an actual fighter since it was full of openings.
Lefu and Clare quickly ran through the forms, with Paul telling them they nearly perfected it and was good enough for the scene. Next, he leads them over to a room with two outfits and a makeup artist looking to be in her late twenties. She was wearing a black apron and testing a new tone of lipstick.
“Selena, here they are, now I will take my leave,” Paul said before running away.
“Did he just run away?” Clare asked.
“He didn’t he,” Lefu commented.
“Oh my, you two are the ones Camilla brought along and going to play the vampire couple,” Selena said in a cheerful yet creepy voice as if she found a new toy to play with. Judging by her facial expression, she seems in love putting makeup on...anything.
Taking a glance around the room, Lefu saw few kits of different makeup product ranging from lipstick to eyeliner. On the desk were a few mannequins heads with few different combinations of makeups. Suddenly he felt a hand grabbed him and threw him into the chair next to Clare, with Selena standing in front holding five different tools.
“Hmm~, Lip starts with the lips and the eyes,” She hummed in a happy mood sounding like a serial killer playing with their victim. With the humming, she pouched forwards and added outliner to them to make our facial expression to have depth on screen.
After twenty minutes the makeup was complete, and Lefu hairstyle completely changed from his regular look of combing it forward. Now his hair has a wild yet refined looked making him admit she had skill even with that personality. As for Clare, her hair was nearly untouched and combed, but the makeups made her way cuter, causing Lefu to be mesmerized by her again.
“What you staring at?” Clare asked.
“You,” Lefu stated.
Shooting him a glare, Lefu detected hints of joy inside the cold stare. With a quick shift of his eyes Lefu seen Selena who giving him thumbs up. ‘Did I do something?’ Lefu wondered as he didn’t realize what he just said.
“Well hold off your flirting for the scenes later, now its time for your costumes,” Selena clapped her hand making Clare shoot a cold glare while Lefu still didn’t realize.
‘It seems I need more training,’ Lefu thought as he watched walked out and a middle-aged man appeared holding few costumes in his hands. In his left hands was a white long sleeved shirt, with a white vest overlapping it, and a black coat with a long tail in it. For the pants, they were black in color and pair of shoes. In his right hand was a long red dress and seem like it emphasizes curves of the body. Both sets have few holes or tears to give the feeling of time deterioration.
“Here you two go, the changing rooms are around the corner. The man stated before leaving, leaving the two there alone. Grabbing their costumes, they quickly changed, and when they went to the dressing room, Camilla appeared in her outfit which was a black dress and hood a cloak over her shoulders.
“You two look great, now let go as the Director going to start explaining,” She said leading them to the cottage. Inside the cabin, Lefu glanced around to spot cameras and few microphones hang around. In the center of the living room was Keegan with a severe expression.
“Well I got good news and bad news, so let start with the bad,” He said.
