After rising to the top do you have what it takes to stay there? Do you even want to?
Hollywood; the crown jewel of California. An unconquerable entity that stands the test of time despite various setbacks. Rising to the top was a long and arduous journey but you have done just that.
Sitting upon your throne of broken promises and fanciful lies— all of them being gilded in gold. Leaving behind your past without a second glance back. Childish merriment was replaced with the flashing lights of cameras. Grass-stained jeans turning to designer clothes. You never wanted to go back to what you used to be.
That is until the pesky problems of death threats start to become an actual concern. To your team and the authorities at least.
Meaning you have to leave behind your mansion in the hills for your parents two bedroom house in Airedale, Maine.
How are you going to deal with your past and present clashing? And what will you do about someone wanting you dead?

♛ THE ROs ♛
Scott/Scarlett Frost ♛ He/Him or She/Her ♛ 29 ♛
Your high school sweetheart/ex-fiancé has since become a veterinarian in the small town of Airedale. Light blue eyes still shining with the same warmth as you remember. Though it was a gaze filled with understandable weariness.
Edward/Elizabeth Holland ♛ He/Him or She/Her ♛ 30 ♛
Your costar from your most recent film. Who also happens to be your current PR significant other. Unfortunately, that also means that they have to come with you to not completely ruin everything you both have been implementing. You just hope everything ends up working out all right.
Victor/Victoria Swann ♛ He/Him or She/Her ♛ 29 ♛
The bad kid turned Deputy Sheriff in the small town of Airedale. A sight that you weren’t expecting to see at all when returning. Nor were expecting the reaction you got from them when they finally saw you once again.
Carter Griffith ♛ He/Him or She/Her ♛ 28 ♛
An old family friend has come to town for your class reunion; because of course, your reunion has to be whenever you’re forced to come back. Sly remarks and amused smiles are still a common entity with Carter. You wouldn’t expect anything less from them though.
Taylor Brennan ♛ He/Him or She/Her ♛ 28 ♛
The journalist that’s getting a little too close for comfort but maybe that’s your own fault too. You just have to make sure that you don’t let anything too detrimental slip out. As bad press wouldn’t be the worst thing you’d have to worry about then.
I love when writers/authors give us Vices to choose from. I feel like it makes immersion so much more easier, especially when some readers can actually relate with the Main characters they customize.
I felt like it’d be something that’d definitely crop up in something that’s related to Hollywood. I haven’t narrowed down a complete list for them, but they’ll offer unique moments both with the ROs and with other characters.
This sounds super interesting! But I need to know, what are options about why they want to kill the mc? I want to know, that seems interesting
Why the person sending the death threats want you dead? You’ll have to uncover that as the story progresses, but you can have ideas (if you take it seriously or not) on why they might.
Some reasons:
They’re a disgruntled fan of some sort and are taking said disgruntled feeling a bit too far.
An older stalker perhaps could be making their rounds again.
It’s a one off event that shouldn’t be taken as seriously as it’s being taken.
Something darker— you may not know the reason but you feel it’s not a good one.
Huh... there used to be a blog for that IF. Are you the same author? 🤔
I am! I just made a new blog for it because I had a bunch of rather difficult memories attached to the old one and I just wanted to have a fresh start and give Empire the chance it deserves!
