Part 1
Ethan: Before we go in... are you SURE our entourage is up to the task?
A high-speed express elevator rockets you and Ethan up the side of a downtown skyscraper!
Ethan: We’ve assembled a dream team, Danny. Now we just have to prove it to Lisa.
Danny: No only worry is Bianca... I’m pretty sure she’s already got her vulture-like talons in Lisa.
Ethan: This isn’t about Bianca. Forget her. This is all about Lisa Valentine now. Just remember that Lisa’s had every decision made for her since she was born. Someone’s probably already made a decision for her about this... we just have to appeal to her. We can sway her, I know it.
Danny: Then let’s do this.
The elevator doors open, revealing Lisa on the other side.
Lisa: Are you ready, Danny? I can’t wait to hear what you’ve got for me.
Danny: Oh yeah. We’re ready.
Rewards
You and Ethan follow Lisa into a sleekly-designed conference room with a gleaming glass table. The morning sun rises over a panoramic view of downtown.
Ethan: All right, you’re busy, we’re busy, so let’s cut to the chase. I--
Lisa: Hang on, Ethan. We’re waiting for someone. I never hear pitches without my manager.
Just then, a glass door slides open, and in steps a woman sipping a dry martini, followed by a group of lawyers and business managers.
Carlotta Valentine: Good morning. You must be EThan, and that means you’re Danny. I’m Lisa’s mother.
Ethan whispers in your ear.
Ethan: I know a snake when I see one... get ready for venom.
Part 2
Lisa: Ready to pitch to me and my mom?
Carlotta Valentine: I’ve been Lisa’s manager from the beginning. I call myself her Mama-ger. That’s trademarked, by the way. Just to warn you, we’ve already heard a pitch from Bianca Stone... it’s going to be pretty much impossible to top. And Ethan, she had some very interesting things to say about your client, Danny. For instance, I heard Danny is on academic probation at Hollywood U. That doesn’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence.
Lisa: Mom...
Carlotta Valentine: Now now, Lisa. We’re talking business.
Ethan: I can assure you that the whole academic probation business is all a misunderstanding... one that’s being sorted out. Anyway, you’re here, we’re here... let’s just do this pitch.
Carlotta Valentine: Okay then. Go ahead and make your pitch. Now.
Danny: We fade in on a stately mansion on the beach, which just happens to be Chris Winter’s beach house.
Lisa: Chris Winters?! He was so hot in ‘Fireman: Inferno’, and I’m not talking about the flames.
Danny: Inside, there’s a stuffy Hollywood party. The string quartet is playing a version of the theme from ‘Lisa Mermaid’. And while everyone feasts an laughs, you’re stuck at a tiny little kids’ table with your friends.
Lisa: Oh god! It’s just like my nightmare!
Danny: That’s when you flip the table over! You all tear off your gowns and tuxes! Underneath, you’re all wearing the craziest, skimpiest outfits! Then you and your friends have a big wild party, while all the old, stuffy guests are disgusted and horrified!
Lisa: Wait, I get it! The stuffy guests are like Hollywood, and they’re trying to keep the next generation down! It’s like they think we don’t belong there!
Danny: But now you’re here... and you’re here to stay!
Rewards
Lisa: Wow, Danny, your idea sounds so... cool! I think my favorite part is--
Carlotta Valentine: Enough, Lisa. We’re not interested! Lisa has a very established brand. Innocent. Not edgy.
Nearby, a few of Lisa’s lawyers and business managers nod their approval.
Carlotta Valentine: Lisa, sweetie, tell them why we’re going with Bianca...
Lisa: ...well, Bianca’s already got a director lined up with proven appeal in my target demographic... Willy Kloin. You know, the director of ‘Loose Goose’ and ‘Loose Goose: Miami’?
Carlotta Valentine: Exactly. Very good, sweetheart. It’s settled then. Sorry my daughter wasted your time.
Danny: We... understand. I guess... goodbye...
Ethan puts a hand on your shoulder and leans in, whispering.
Ethan: I’m glad you’re keeping your cool, but we definitely need to show more fight. We’re not done with this sea-witch. Not by a nautical mile. Lisa loved your pitch, and she’s the one making the final call here. Remember what I said... appeal to her.
Part 3
Ethan: We’re not giving up that easy. Seal this deal, Danny!
Danny: Ahem, just one last thing.
You turn to Lisa, ignoring her scowling mother.
Danny: Lisa, imagine what will happen if you choose us. You get to make a video you want to make. If there’s something about it you don’t like, guess what?
Ethan: It doesn’t go in the video.
Danny: We’re giving you power, Lisa. And when people see the final cut, they’re going to see a new you, not some focus-tested mermaid.
Ethan: It’s definitely a risk. But the risk is on you. Talented, gorgeous you.
Danny: Don’t you want to bet on yourself?
With that, Ethan grabs your arm and pulls you toward the door. You whisper...
Danny: Wait! I thought we were doing the ‘not giving up’ thing!
Ethan: Yeah, and now we’re doing the ‘make it look like we’re leaving’ thing!
You open the door to leave your meeting with Lisa Valentine...
Lisa: Wait! Don’t go, Danny. I want to do your idea for my video!
Danny: Really?
Carlotta Valentine: You’re being ridiculous, Lisa! We’ve discussed this, and--
Lisa: Mom, please, for once just let me handle this.
Carlotta Valentine: As your manager, I--
Lisa: You work for me! And this is my decision! I’m not going to be a twenty-year-old mermaid singing kiddie songs!
Carlotta Valentine: I... I’m going to get another drink.
Rewards
Carlotta marches out, empty martini glass in hand, and slams the door shut behind her!
Lisa: I can’t believe I did that! I’ve never talked back to her!
Ethan: You made the right call.
Danny: Absolutely. We won’t let you down. You’re gonna love the video.
Lisa: I really hope so, Danny. I’m already feeling crazy nervous... If this backfires, my career’s done, and my mom will probably disown me!
Danny: Then let’s make sure that doesn’t happen. We’ll start filming at Chris’s beach house first thing tomorrow.
Back at Hollywood U.... You and Ethan are headed back to your room, when you find an envelope from your benefactor taped to the door!
Danny: ‘I know you’re in need of financial assistance on the music video project. Here’s something to aid you. Sincerely, Your Benefactor.’
You tip the contents of the envelope into your hand.
Danny: Whoa! Score!
Ethan: Perfect. We can use this money to create a set on-campus, which we can then use for B-roll footage for the video.
Danny: Huh?
Ethan: I’ll explain later. Just plant a bush, Danny.
Part 4
Danny: Looks like I’ll be adding more to the university!
The next day, you, Ethan, and Lisa park outside Chris Winters’s massive Malibu beachside mansion, nestled in the bluffs over the warm, calm Pacific.
Ethan: Note to self: I need to start representing mega movie stars...
Danny: This is perfect for our video!
Lisa: I can’t believe I’m about to meet the Chris Winters.
You ring the bell, and the door opens.
Chris: Hey, Danny! Ethan. Lisa. Come on in!
You step inside a large marble-tiled foyer with high arching windows. A crystal chandelier glimmers high above you.
Danny: Chris, your place is amazing! Thanks so much for letting us shoot the video here! You’re so nice!
Chris: No problem. I love helping talented people in need.
Rewards
Chris: Unfortunately, I’ve gotta take off. Live reading for ‘Gunslinger’s Revenge’. While I’m gone, try not to burn the place down, please.
Danny: No promises.
Chris leaves. The three of you walk farther into the mansion’s luxurious interior.
Danny: Look at all these awards above the fireplace!
Ethan: Man, this Hottest Kiss award is solid gold. How much do you think you could get pawning this?
Danny: Put it down, Ethan.
Lisa: Oh no!
Danny: What is it, Lisa?
Lisa: My Twitter feed! I tweeted ‘Lisa Mermaid’s dead. Get ready for my new look!’
Ethan: It suddenly makes sense why your mom handles your PR.
Lisa: Whatever... now my fans have started a new hashtag. #TailOrFail. They’re not going to support my new album unless I bring back Lisa Mermaid... I’m losing followers by the hundreds! This is the worst!
Danny: You’ll get them back, Lisa. Your music and this video will bring them back.
Lisa: Was... was choosing you guys a mistake?
Ethan: Mistake? ‘I, Frankenstein’ was a mistake. This is closer to the best decision of your life. Now let’s start shooting...
Danny: I’ll get the crew together!
Part 5
Ethan: Here comes the cast and crew! Let’s get these cameras rolling!
Addison: Welcome, extras, to the coolest mansion ever!
Austin: Oh my god, I’m in Chris Winters’s house?! Quick, Tegwen! Take a selfie with me!
Tegwen: Hang on, is that Lisa Valentine over there? I’m gonna say hi. How does my hair look?
Ethan: Good work rounding up everyone, Danny. We’ve got the lights, we’ve got the cameras... all we need now is the action!
Time - 30 minutes
Your crew starts filming! Lisa and the wild, colorfully-dressed extras spread out across the room! Some make out on a couch, others grind against a statue, all to Lisa’s electronic beat!
Tegwen: Woooooo!
The other extras, dressed in dull, old-fashioned attire, feign horror!
Austin: My word, I do declare!
The shoot progresses through the party, as Lisa and her minions take over the house. Lisa’s new single blasts over the sound system! You maneuver the camera through the crowd for a silky smooth tracking shot!
Danny: Looking good, Lisa! Keep it up!
Lisa: ‘So go ahead and put me on trial! You’ll never ever cramp my style!’
Rewards
Later, after shooting a scene with a bunch of models in Chris’s indoor hot tub...
Danny: Awesome job, everyone! According to Holly’s script, the big stunt is up next! Wait... where’s Crash?
Ethan: Yeah... about that. Crash just handed me his ‘contract’.
Danny: Is this written in hot sauce?
Ethan: He’s demanding twenty bucks and some balloons?
Danny: For the stunt he’s doing, I’d call that a bargain. Let’s get this done!
Part 6
Danny: Crash has some... interesting contract demands.
Crash kicks open the door to Chris’s mansion and struts in.
Crash: Who’s ready to break stuff?
As Crash preps for his big stunt, Addison pulls you both aside.
Addison: I was just looking over Holly’s script for this scene, and it looks like she left this stunt up to your interpretation. You need to decide how you want it to play out, Danny.
Crash: Who’s got a Red Bull? I need like six of them, stat! Time to get PUMPED!
Danny: We originally planned to have Crash jump from the third-floor balcony down into the water below.
Crash: Heh, that’s pretty cool... but you know what’s cooler? If I jump through a window while on FIRE!
Addison: Well, um... that’s certainly a more epic and memorable shot. But this isn’t our house to destroy. It’s Chris’s.
Crash: Chris who? Please say flames! PLEASE SAY FLAMES!
Danny: Crash, you’re jumping from the balcony. I know we can afford to fix the damages, but we need to play this safe.
Crash: Ugh. Safe is where awesome goes to die.
Soon, the stage is set... Crash runs at full-tilt through a crowd of dancers!
Crash: Live fast! Die young!
He hurls himself off the balcony, somersaulting! The cameraman tracks his plunge with the camera until Crash disappears into the ocean with a huge splash!
Lisa: That was amazing!
Addison: He’s okay, right?
Just then, a hundred feet below, you see Crash break through the ocean’s surface and wave!
Crash: Wooooo! Come on, who’s next? The water’s so cold, it feels like dying!
Danny: We’re good up here, Crash, but I think we got the shot!
Rewards
Crash rejoins the party in the mansion to raucous cheers! He runs through, high-fiving everyone!
Lisa: Crash, you just risked your life for my video! Thanks!
Crash: No sweat! I’ll be honest, my first instinct about working with you was that you were super soft and lame. Like a Disney princess or Ryan Seacrest. But you’ve got a crazy stunt in your video, and your song’s actually pretty sick! I mean, listen to it... I love sirens in my jams.
Lisa: Huh? There are no sirens in my song.
Crash: Uh, then what’s that sound?
You stop and listen closely. Over the music, you hear the faint sound of police sirens approaching!
Danny: The cops are coming! We’re going to need someone super smooth to talk to them!
Part 7
Crash: We need someone to handle the cops!
The extras and the crew gather around the windows to see a cop car screeching to a halt outside, its lights whirling!
Addison: I don’t understand! We’re isolated. We’re not disturbing anyone. Why are the cops coming here?
Ethan: Someone must have called them.
Danny: Bianca? Lisa’s mom? One of them must be trying to sabotage us.
Crash: It’s okay, guys. I’ve been in jail before. It’s really not that bad. I’m assuming you all know how to make shivs?
Cira: What? Stop talking! I’ll... I’ll try to handle the cops...
This quest has a special bonus reward. The quest will be ready to collect in 45 minutes. Come back and claim it within 2 hours to get the bonus!
Time - 45 minutes
The extras scatter as the cops storm toward the mansion, flashlights drawn! Lisa hides behind a nearby ficus.
Officer Mohsenin: You’re all under arrest for breaking and entering!
Cira: Good! You’re finally here!
Officer Mohsenin: Huh?
Cira: Loved the entrance! You’re here to star in our music video, right? We need older authority figure-types for the next scene!
Officer Mohsenin: You want us in your video? But we’re not actors! We’re officers of the law!
Cira: Are you kidding? The second you walked in, Danny told me you looked like... uh... who was it again, Danny?
Danny: He looks just like Paul Newman!
Officer Mohsenin: You think so? Would you believe my father once met ol’ King Cool in the flesh?
Danny: Really?
Officer Mohsenin: Of course, this was near the end of Newman’s life, far removed from Cool Hand Luke...
A few minutes later...
Officer Mohsenin: ...and all the salad dressing proceeds go to charity!
Just then, Chris Winters arrives, looking stunned!
Chris: What’s going on here?
Officer Mohsenin: Chris Winters?! It’s really you! I loved you in ‘The Last Lumberjack’!
Chris: Danny... what are the cops doing here?
Cira: They’re, um, starring in the video!
Officer Mohsenin: Yeah! We’re stars!
Chris: Right.
Chris pulls you and Cira aside.
Chris: You’ll definitely have to let me know how you pulled that off.
Rewards
Chris takes a quick look around...
Chris: Wow, I can’t believe how clean you’ve kept the place!
Danny: Of course. I appreciate you letting us film here.
Chris: That sort of respect will go a long way in this town. If you keep handling your productions as responsibly as you did here, a lot of people are gonna want to work with you, including me.
Addison shouts across the room to you.
Addison: Okay, Danny, we’re all set to film the last shot of the video!
Part 8
Addison: Just one more shot left! This is going to call for some A+ creative work!
Addison: Everyone is totally pumped to shoot the last scene!
Ethan: In this one, all the stuffy partygoers are gone, and Lisa’s friends are passed out all over the place.
Danny: Great! Let’s set it up.
Chris: Hey, want me to cameo? You can show me coming home and seeing these partiers all over my house!
Lisa: Chris Winters showing up in my video? Um, yes, please!
Danny: You’d do that for us, Chris?
Chris: Like I said, I like helping out people I believe in. Anything to give you a boost.
Addison: It would give us even more exposure... but I’m not sure Holly would be thrilled if you deviated from her script.
Ethan: She seems cute and harmless, but that girl’s a bear when it comes to her work. She’ll eat you alive if you mess with her darlings. But you’re in charge here, Danny. You wanna make it in this town? You gotta be able to make the tough calls.
Danny: Let’s put Chris in the scene!
Chris: Great! Just point me to my mark!
Lisa: All right, places, everybody!
A moment later, with the camera rolling, Chris casually steps inside and then notices all the party-goers passed out inside his house...
Chris: What the--?!
Danny: And that’s a wrap! Great work, people!

Lisa: Thanks for all your hard work, Danny... ...do you think it’s good?
Danny: We made it. It has to be.
Lisa: I’ll see you at the album release party... the main event of the night will be the video’s world premiere!
Lisa jumps into her limo and waves goodbye. You turn to Ethan and Addison.
Danny: The video... it’s going to be good, right?
Ethan: If it isn’t, we’ll have destroyed the career of a beloved starlet, you’ll be expelled from Hollywood U., and we’ll never work in this town again.
Addison: Bleak much? Danny, don’t listen to Somber Suit over here. The video is going to be great. I have faith in you.
Ethan: Somber Suit? There’s nothing wrong with looking good. In fact, I think I’m dressed perfectly for the hottest new restaurant on campus, Amour.
Addison: I heard that place is really romantic. Let’s go!
You’ve just unlocked Amour, the restaurant of love! Place it down now to go on dates as you progress toward stardom!
Ethan: Before we go in... are you SURE our entourage is up to the task?

Crash rejoins the party in the mansion to raucous cheers! He runs through, high-fiving everyone!
Lisa: Crash, you just risked your life for my video! Thanks!
Crash: No sweat! I’ll be honest, my first instinct about working with you was that you were super soft and lame. Like a Disney princess or Ryan Seacrest. But you’ve got a crazy stunt in your video, and your song’s actually pretty sick! I mean, listen to it... I love sirens in my jams.
Lisa: Huh? There are no sirens in my song.
Crash: Uh, then what’s that sound?
You stop and listen closely. Over the music, you hear the faint sound of police sirens approaching!
Danny: The cops are coming! We’re going to need someone super smooth to talk to them!
Part 7
Crash: We need someone to handle the cops!
- A Level 5+ Friend Besides Danny (Cira)
The extras and the crew gather around the windows to see a cop car screeching to a halt outside, its lights whirling!
Addison: I don’t understand! We’re isolated. We’re not disturbing anyone. Why are the cops coming here?
Ethan: Someone must have called them.
Danny: Bianca? Lisa’s mom? One of them must be trying to sabotage us.
Crash: It’s okay, guys. I’ve been in jail before. It’s really not that bad. I’m assuming you all know how to make shivs?
Cira: What? Stop talking! I’ll... I’ll try to handle the cops...

The extras scatter as the cops storm toward the mansion, flashlights drawn! Lisa hides behind a nearby ficus.
Officer Mohsenin: You’re all under arrest for breaking and entering!
Cira: Good! You’re finally here!
Officer Mohsenin: Huh?
Cira: Loved the entrance! You’re here to star in our music video, right? We need older authority figure-types for the next scene!
Officer Mohsenin: You want us in your video? But we’re not actors! We’re officers of the law!
Cira: Are you kidding? The second you walked in, Danny told me you looked like... uh... who was it again, Danny?
Danny: He looks just like Paul Newman!
Officer Mohsenin: You think so? Would you believe my father once met ol’ King Cool in the flesh?
Danny: Really?
Officer Mohsenin: Of course, this was near the end of Newman’s life, far removed from Cool Hand Luke...
A few minutes later...
Officer Mohsenin: ...and all the salad dressing proceeds go to charity!
Just then, Chris Winters arrives, looking stunned!
Chris: What’s going on here?
Officer Mohsenin: Chris Winters?! It’s really you! I loved you in ‘The Last Lumberjack’!
Chris: Danny... what are the cops doing here?
Cira: They’re, um, starring in the video!
Officer Mohsenin: Yeah! We’re stars!
Chris: Right.
Chris pulls you and Cira aside.
Chris: You’ll definitely have to let me know how you pulled that off.

Chris takes a quick look around...
Chris: Wow, I can’t believe how clean you’ve kept the place!
Danny: Of course. I appreciate you letting us film here.
Chris: That sort of respect will go a long way in this town. If you keep handling your productions as responsibly as you did here, a lot of people are gonna want to work with you, including me.
Addison shouts across the room to you.
Addison: Okay, Danny, we’re all set to film the last shot of the video!
Part 8
Addison: Just one more shot left! This is going to call for some A+ creative work!
- Have a Director at Level 4+
- Have a Movie Star at Level 4+
Addison: Everyone is totally pumped to shoot the last scene!
Ethan: In this one, all the stuffy partygoers are gone, and Lisa’s friends are passed out all over the place.
Danny: Great! Let’s set it up.
Chris: Hey, want me to cameo? You can show me coming home and seeing these partiers all over my house!
Lisa: Chris Winters showing up in my video? Um, yes, please!
Danny: You’d do that for us, Chris?
Chris: Like I said, I like helping out people I believe in. Anything to give you a boost.
Addison: It would give us even more exposure... but I’m not sure Holly would be thrilled if you deviated from her script.
Ethan: She seems cute and harmless, but that girl’s a bear when it comes to her work. She’ll eat you alive if you mess with her darlings. But you’re in charge here, Danny. You wanna make it in this town? You gotta be able to make the tough calls.
Danny: Let’s put Chris in the scene!
Chris: Great! Just point me to my mark!
Lisa: All right, places, everybody!
A moment later, with the camera rolling, Chris casually steps inside and then notices all the party-goers passed out inside his house...
Chris: What the--?!
Danny: And that’s a wrap! Great work, people!

Lisa: Thanks for all your hard work, Danny... ...do you think it’s good?
Danny: We made it. It has to be.
Lisa: I’ll see you at the album release party... the main event of the night will be the video’s world premiere!
Lisa jumps into her limo and waves goodbye. You turn to Ethan and Addison.
Danny: The video... it’s going to be good, right?
Ethan: If it isn’t, we’ll have destroyed the career of a beloved starlet, you’ll be expelled from Hollywood U., and we’ll never work in this town again.
Addison: Bleak much? Danny, don’t listen to Somber Suit over here. The video is going to be great. I have faith in you.
Ethan: Somber Suit? There’s nothing wrong with looking good. In fact, I think I’m dressed perfectly for the hottest new restaurant on campus, Amour.
Addison: I heard that place is really romantic. Let’s go!
You’ve just unlocked Amour, the restaurant of love! Place it down now to go on dates as you progress toward stardom!
