DEMO (TBA)

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Roaring stadiums, filled to the max with screaming fans, as you stand with a microphone in hand. Your heart pounds against your chest as you get ready to perform. Shouts of adoration filter past your ear as the lights finally turn on; the show truly begins. With you in the center of it all.

Except… that isn’t you. You’re to the side, watching it all, with a clipboard pressed to your chest. Making sure that nothing was out of place.

You’re just an assistant, an assistant to the biggest star gracing the stage in the past decade, but still just an assistant.

That is until you woke up alone in a room that was way above your pay grade; with a shiny ring on your finger. Your new spouse? The very star that you have been working for, for the last two years. The same star that many believed would never settle down— until you came along.

These rapid-fire events thrust you into the spotlight. Rocketing you towards the twinkling lights of stardom as you desperately try to figure out how to come to terms with everything.

The media and tabloids are just the tip of the iceberg. The very star you’re married to offers you the deal of a lifetime.

Stay married to them for a year and get a record deal; the biggest reason you moved to L.A.... All of your dreams will come true after twelve months.

If only you had known what the price of stardom truly brought.

The Price is rated 18+ for explicit language, sexual themes, alcohol/drug use, questionable behavior, and more!

★ Features ★

Customizable MC: name, gender, appearance, facets of your personality, hobbies, and more!

Get into the studio and start preparing for what will come when the year is up. Find the voice that you have always wanted to showcase in the industry!

Create your own music! Cultivate your debut album and show the world what it's been missing!

Interact with your fans and the music industry as a whole through social media! Will you become an upcoming star that the media loves or a black sheep that'll keep them returning for more?

Engage in romance with a variety of characters. Will the fake one become real with your pretend spouse? Or perhaps you'll find passion building with the less complicated-- and fun-loving-- photographer?

Discover what truly happened the night of your marriage. Or, if you choose to do so, leave it as the hazy fog in the recesses of your mind.

And much more as the story continues forward!

Are you willing to pay the price for your dream? Will that dream change over time?

★ The ROs ★

Adrian/Ariana Ocean ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 28 ★

Your boss, and also your spouse, the most sought-after star in the entertainment industry. With a reputation as spotty as one would expect with someone at the top. However, with the news of your marriage, people seem to be seeing them in a new light; something that they’ve been wanting for a very long time. Let’s hope it’ll last.

Blake Turner ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 28 ★

A Hollywood starlet that’s coming off their recent Oscar win; who also happens to be your ex from college. An ex that dumped you when they dropped out of college to become a star. A story that you never truly got to hear the entirety of. And suddenly, just like that, they’re back in your life with the same smirk from before. The one that made you fall in love with them, to begin with.

Liam/Leah Shaw ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 29 ★

Your newly assigned bodyguard, you still have to get used to that, who is supposed to protect you whenever your spouse can’t be with you. You just weren’t expecting them to start affecting you the way that they have. Their warm smile is like a beacon in this unfamiliar world.

Isaac/Isabel Carnell ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 27 ★

The photographer who is tasked with taking lovely shots of the newly wed couple. One of the only people, besides management, that actually knows what the hell is actually going on. Their general cheerfulness does wonders to lighten your spirits. Not to mention the pictures they take are absolutely divine.

Carson/Cara Madden ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 33 ★

The lawyer that is making sure everything goes smoothly; while also trying to not get gray hairs throughout. An aloof individual that only cracks a smile around a select few people. However, they’re good at their job and that’s what should matter most to you. Even though you sort of wish they’d smile at you. At least just once.

[remyfire]

Sorry I just remembered the moment where Hawkeye and BJ said "Margaret, we would like to double team you in the shower," and I had to let out a huge sigh

#literally i never remember anything about this episode except for this specific moment which is seared into my brain #i love the random moments of bj blurting shit like this #it fuels all of us in different ways #and me in a very particular way that will one day finally translate into incredibly self-indulgent fanfic #bj hunnicutt #hawkeye pierce #margaret houlihan #margbeejhawk #houlihunnihawk #m*a*s*h #mashblogging #mashcapping #the price #s7e18

Margaret: Why was he in my shower? Hawkeye (out of shot): Isn't it obvious? Mulcahy: Not to me.

A South Korean teenager has been found hiding in the MASH showers when he ran away because Margaret, who was having a shower, started screaming at him. (Understandably so.) Hawkeye and Mulcahy are both looking at Margaret's legs. Margaret has very nice legs.

Margaret suddenly realises she is standing in front of the entire camp naked except for a green towel, exclaims "I'm wearing a towel!" Mulcahy, that scamp, calls after "I hadn't noticed!" And then he smiles.

Honestly, that priest.

CORDY: "Hey, when did we get the statue for the lobby? Oh, it's just you."

ANGEL: "Can we do something about the stain? It just scared off a client. At least I think he was a client. The guy barely said two words before he ran out of here."

CORDY: "Well, you know, some people can be pretty closed mouthed. We've never really talked about everything that happened while I was away."

*Angel, walking away from her*

ANGEL: “You know the gist of it.”

*Cordy following*

CORDY: "Yeah. Sure. I've got loads of gist. But what I don't got is the specifics. Specifically about that little five pointed doodad decorating our lobby and the voodoo that you dood - did over it."

ANGEL: "Cordy!"

CORDY: "I know you don't wanna talk about it, but you don't mess with dark magics and expect to walk away from it like it doesn't matter."

*Angel setting the snow globe down on Wes' desk*

ANGEL: “It doesn't matter. It was a waste of time."

CORDY: "Still. I should probably know what kind of spell it was. You know there is almost always some cosmic price to using primordial powers. There could be repercussions. And you know the one person who could help us with that isn't around anymore."

*Angel stops fiddling with the files on the desk and looks at her, then starts to walk out of the office*

CORDY: "Not going there. I'm just saying. You can run away, avoid talking about this, but you know as well as I do that stuff we do in the past usually comes back to bite us in our respective 'assi' and what you did…"

ANGEL: “Okay. So maybe I wasn't thinking too clearly. I mean, I was drunk for a while. Drunk on my own son's blood, slipped into my food by the good folks at Wolfram and Hart. And my head was a little clouded with rage over a trusted friend stealing my child from me…

*Throws up his hands and drops down to sit on the stairs*

Damn it, Cordelia, you got me talking about this."

*Angel buries his face in his hands*

CORDY: "Probably just needed to vent.

*Cordy goes to sit beside Angel as he raises his head from his hands*

Why didn't you call me?"

ANGEL: "I didn't want to mess up your vacation. I just thought one of us should be happy."

*Angel sighs*

CORDY: "But I could have helped. I could have done something…"

ANGEL: "There is nothing you could have…"

CORDY: "How do you know? What makes you so sure? I've got a hotline to the freaking Powers, buster. I could've gotten a vision, or-or something to warn us. Oh, plus, I've got demon in me now.

*Jumps up and faces Angel*

So, maybe - maybe there is some untapped power that could have helped find Connor before, you know, before…"

*Cordy stops with a sigh*

ANGEL: "You needed to vent?"

CORDY: "I… I should have been here for you."

ANGEL: "You… you were. I mean, you are. You're always…

*Stands up*

Look… look, I'm just - I'm just trying to move on like you told me to. I'm just trying to not be so into my problems, into my head. Just focus on something else for a while. You know?”

*Cordy after a beat*

CORDY: “Sure. Yeah. I… I get that. But next time… you call me."

*Angel nods slightly then walks past her*

ANGEL: “Right.

*Angel stops and turns back*

Oh, there is something you can do for me. Find me a case to work on. Please."

I love love LOVE that they get each other to talk about things that they wouldn’t normally talk about or try to avoid talking about with anyone else. I love that Cordy does not let Angel take the easy and quietest way out. I love that Angel lets Cordelia know her opinions are valid and that she plays a vital role in their whole thing with helping the helpless and take the stage when one of them doesn’t know what to do or say. They’re actually what a relationship - regardless whether it’s romantic or platonic - is supposed to be. People that communicate with each other to bring out information from the other that you wouldn’t get out of them otherwise. That’s what a relationship is all about!

And these two do it so well, so naturally, so satisfyingly. They really represent the relationship dynamic that both deserved to have with someone to make them better characters - better people - than what we initially started out with. The Buffyverse just knows how to handle character representation and development through significant character relationships and interactions. Season 7 of ‘BtVS’ aside from a couple of episodes really suffered when it came to this and it’s why I don’t really like it. But I’m loving what I’m seeing in Season 3 of ‘AtS’ with Cangel. With Cordelia there, Angel can’t fall into his broody sad boy routine. With Angel there, Cordy can’t just care less. They’re more interesting and dynamic characters for what they’re able to bring in and out of each other. THIS is what I watch these character-driven shows for. This is the WHOLE point to it! When this sort of thing is cultivated, the show is effortlessly unbelievable. The writing flows and works organically. You try to force this kind of thing with characters that don’t have any chemistry or any relatable camaraderie and it falls so flat quicker and harder than anything.

I love this. I fucking LOVE this. Everything about this. It doesn’t matter if they’re not romantic - I’d prefer them to be if only to get more of this out of it - but it’s not necessary for it to be so long as all THIS is there.

I’ll say it and I’ll say it right now. I’m a Cangel shipper. I adore what they have together. I adore seeing all of it. And if it turns into a full romance,… I’m so here for it! It may be a cliche but I love the best friends to lovers trope. I love that idiom of true love is friendship on fire. I’ve never been one to go for the whirlwind romances that happen as soon as they lay eyes on each other. It’s always been WORK that makes love so appealing. And Cangel are all about that because they care dearly for one another. You can see immediately that the friendship that they have is out of real honest love. There’s nothing flashy about it. Nothing toxic. Nothing that makes you feel red flags are ascending the way they do with Buffy and Angel or even Buffy and Riley. I just really love what I’m seeing happening with them.

I wanted to ask that how would the Ro's react when they are staying with mc who is apparently drunk at the moment and then mc went to mc "Hey...can I tell you a secret?"Mc would ask and then when the Ro's nodded at them and mc shyly said "I really love (Ro's name) But they never seemed to interested in me...I wish they can clear wether or not they like me"Mc would say seriously and their face says they are not playing around 😳

"Hey..." You shift from foot-to-foot drawing their attention, your gaze locked with your feet before you shyly look back up. "Can I tell you a secret?" At their nod, you brighten noticeably and practically beam with excitement. "I really love [Insert Chosen RO], but they never seem interested in me... I wish they can make it clear whether or not they like me."

Adrian/Ariana: Warmth spreads through their chest at the admission, but they tamper it down when they see how clearly drunk you were-- if the smell of beer on your breath wasn't enough. "I have a great idea, MC." They easily maneuver from their seated position, wrapping a supportive arm around your waist. "Why don't you tell them in the morning? I'm certain that this will be a conversation they'd be more than interested in having." Not resisting the sudden urge to do so, they gently bop your nose. "A conversation that needs to happen when you're not completely hammered. Now, I'd be a horrible spouse if I left you by yourself to deal with this. Let's get you to bed."

Blake: A surprisingly gentle look etches itself across their face and, for the briefest of moments, they regret agreeing to listening to what you had to say. However, that moment of guilt quickly transforms into one of extreme self-satisfaction. "This is quite the revelation, MC," they purr, hazel eyes observing you with a glint. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this secret." They place a hand over their heart. "I'll keep it with me always, I promise." Now, I just need to get you to admit it when you're not drunk.

Liam/Leah: Their worry quickly mutates into worried confusion, their mind desperately trying to take in the information you had given them. You loved them? Truly? The revelation brings a small smile to their face, but it quickly falls away when they realize how drunk you were. Now wasn't the time to overthink your admission, nor was it the time to have a heart-to-heart, they had a job to do; they had to get you somewhere safe, everything else was secondary to that. "Let's get you home, okay?" They place a steady hand on your arm. "I think you've had enough to drink for the night." Or the year...

Isaac/Isabel: If they had a camera, they'd take a snapshot of this very scene to commemorate the moment for eternity, something they could forever hold close to their heart. With bright eyes, and an even brighter smile, they touch your arm. "That's delightful news, MC," they beam, warmth spreading throughout their entire body. "I think this is definitely something you should bring to their attention." Sniffing, their nose wrinkles at the heavy smell of alcohol in the air. "A discussion that you should have when you're not as inebriated. Until then? Why don't we find someplace for you to wind down, okay?"

Carson/Cara: "No." The word was as final as it was sharp. Dark blue eyes reminiscent of storm clouds as they stare at you, arms crossed over their chest. They didn't wish to hear your secret, didn't wish to pull any information from you when you were barely cognizant of what you were doing. Especially if it had anything to do with them. "We need to get you a glass of water, some Advil, and then a bed, before you start spilling your guts all over the place." They shake their head, gently taking you by the arm to guide you from the room. "We have a contract after all, MC. It wouldn't do to break it now." And, despite everything, they have to ignore the sting of disappointment, of want, at what could have been if they had simply let you speak.
