This section of town was a common refuge for immigrants from the Chinese-American war, now populated with many East Asian ethnicity enclaves; named for the Buddha statue built near the center of the district.

Frankie added to the whole performance with a sequence where she was sneaking up on Uri-el; like that one viral cat video where the camera cuts away and then back again and the cat is standing perfectly still but closer to the camera with each cut. Only there were no cuts. She was just that stealthy that she disappeared and re-appeared and you were left scratching your head as to how she managed to get into the new position without being seen...

...which is probably why audiences would still think it was a cheap effects with camera cuts anyway, but what did they know? They probably still thought it looked awesome, though.

"Aaaand cut. Wow, that is going to take some editing."

Iris looks up from the camera lens, apparently quite happy with the result anyway.

"But at least it wasn't boring or generic, so I'm giving us an A+ for that. Nicely done Malik and Frankie! You'll be selling Nikes and Rolexes in no time."

Uri-el shook his head a little sadly. "Gross."

"Bruv," she reached out into nothingness and pulled out an expensive looking watch. Though upon closer inspection it said 'Dolex' instead of Rolex.

"I already tried that yeah? Years back, to make pocketmoney yeah? Bad idea, they just disappear after a bit so then I get angry people ringing me up asking for their money back."

“On the one hand that’s a massive copyright violation on the other hand… ehhh, kinda cool.”

Lowering her voice and making sure no cameras were actively on here.

"Eh, it's not as if I really need money, yeah?" she let the dolex watch disappear into nothingness, "I mean, except to eat I guess. But so far all the food here has been free."
