Part 1
Ethan: Danny, we need to discuss your entourage. (Collect the rare type.)
Ethan guides you down a side street and onto Hollywood Boulevard. Beneath your feet are gold stars embedded in the concrete, emblazoned with the names of the most famous Hollywood celebrities.
Ethan: Welcome to the Walk of Fame, Danny… Tell me. Do you know why all these stars are grouped together?
Danny: Los Angeles real estate is expensive?
Ethan: True… but also because none of these celebrities could’ve made it alone. You’ve done amazing work expanding your entourage, but you’re gonna need even more allies to succeed in Hollywood. That means you’ll need to throw parties… And that means we’re headed to CLUB VIP.
In this quest, you’ll be challenged to add RARE TYPES to your entourage. If you don’t meet a rare type the first time you throw a party, keep trying. Every party you throw increases your odds.
At Club VIP, Ethan joins you by the bar, sipping a martini. He tips his drink toward the gathered crowd.
Ethan: Directors are all about movie-making, and Movie Stars are chic and very social… Put that combination together, and what do you get?
Danny: A glamorous party where everybody in the biz talks shop?
Ethan: Exactly. In other words… my kind of party!
Rewards
Ethan: But it’s not just yours truly who loves these kind of parties… Other agents do too.
Girl Agents are a RARE type… Keep partying Directors and Movie Stars until you’ve added a Girl Agent to your entourage!
Part 2
Ethan: I’m your agent… but we need some inside information!
Vienna walks over to you and Ethan at the bar. She clinks her martini against your drink.
Vienna: Danny, if it isn’t my favorite rising star… and also Ethan Blake!
Ethan: Heh… Vienna, you’re looking lovely this evening.
Vienna: Flattery will get you everywhere, Ethan. What do you need?
Ethan: Need? Can’t I just want the pleasure of polite conversation with one of my favorite colleagues?
Vienna: I know you, Ethan. You need something. What is it?
Ethan: Okay, you got me! I did have one teensy favor to ask…
Time - 2 hours
Ethan: Here’s the deal, Vienna. I’m helping Danny expand his entourage… And I thought you might’ve heard about some good parties for networking.
Danny: Vienna, if it’s too much trouble…
Vienna: Are you kidding, Danny? For a promising young celebrity like you, I’d do anything! Literally anything. Do you want my cat? I would literally give you my cat.
Danny: Uh--
Ethan: It’s not a favor, Danny. She’s obviously moving into a pet-free townhome. Now about those parties, Vienna?
Rewards
Vienna: Here’s an inside scoop. Directors and Movie Stars hang out with Agents, but they also travel with Reality TV stars… Getting the right Reality TV guy in your entourage can open doors.
Important: the same party can produce different results… Keep partying Directors and Movie Stars until you have a Guy Reality TV in your entourage.
Part 3
Ethan: Time to really put yourself out there! (Collect the rare type.)
Ethan: There aren’t many Reality TV guys out there, so having one in your entourage is a really big deal.
Danny: Great… but why are they so rare?
Ethan: Thought experiment. I want you to close your eyes and picture The Bachelor.
Danny: Ooohhh…
Rewards
Ethan: Since you have a Reality TV guys in your entourage… We can use his connections to take your partying to the next level. Let’s see what he has to say.
Part 4
Ethan: Well done, Danny! Your entourage is starting to come together!
Channing: Okay, okay… you’re beautiful! I accept the rose!
Danny: …uh, what rose?
Channing: Nothing, I’m just practicing for the elimination tonight. I know it looks authentic on TV, but trust me… emoting that perfect manly blend of chiseled abs and vulnerability takes practice.
Ethan: Very true…
Channing: But enough about me. I heard y’all wanted to party?
Time - 4 hours
Ethan: Danny is looking to expand his entourage. Any advice?
Channing: Oh, for sure! I’ve got a line on this sweet party up in the Hollywood Hills! But to get in Danny will need to bling that bland look. No offense.
Danny: …none taken? What exactly are we talking about?
Channing: We’re talking upscale. Unique. Rare beauty!
Rewards
Danny: Ethan, how do we make my look more unique?
Ethan: Don’t panic. You just need to make some very unique friends.
Every party combination can make RARE TYPES. Keep partying Directors and Fashionistas until you have a GIRL WARDROBE DESIGNER and a GUY MAKE-UP ARTIST in your entourage.
Part 5
Ethan: You’re going to need to look your best for the party I have lined up… (Collect the rare types.)
Ethan: I got your text, Danny. Tell me where we’re at.
Danny: So I’ve been hanging out with my friends in the Wardrobe and Make-Up departments… And we’ve been chatting about movies and fashion for literally hours! For instance, did you know the little black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s was made by Givenchy?
Ethan: …no? But cool?
Danny: Way cool!
Rewards
Danny: But the most important thing is… We were discussing some unique looks for the party in the Hollywood Hills!
Ethan: Good to hear. You’re not getting in unless you look one-of-a-kind.
Part 6
Ethan: Make-up, outfit… your ensemble needs to blow people away!
Uma and Liam step over to where you and Ethan are chatting.
Uma: Danny dresses well, and that’ll be our base. But on top of that, we’ll add a unique accessory…
Liam: And then use make-up to complete the ensemble.
Danny: Uh… make-up?
Liam: You’re in showbiz, darling! Everyone wears make-up! Do you think Chris Hemsworth battles Dark Elves without spray foundation?
Uma: Danny, tell us how you want people to react.
Danny: I’m going to a fancy party in the Hollywood Hills. So I want people to think that I’m just stupid hot! When I walk through that door, I want all eyes on me! I want people with their mouths hanging open like barn doors. I want impolite staring! I want drool!
Ethan: …you want drool?
Uma: Oh, we understand what you mean, Danny. And we promise… that’s gonna happen! And to make sure people are looking, we’ll accessorize with an elegant Alpina watch.
Liam: Then we’ll underscore the look with some subtle make-up touches… Some discrete guyliner… and cheeks flecked with real 24K gold dust!
Ethan: Now that is a rich look. Sorry, sorry, somebody had to say that…
Time - 6 hours
One quick change later…
Uma: OMG! I’m breathless, Danny! You look absolutely perfect!
Liam: Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.
Danny: …you think so?
Ethan: Obviously, you’re hot, Danny. You are my client. You just make sure to save some of that magic for the party tonight.
Rewards
Ethan: Guest list is confirmed. Limo is outside. Ready or not, here we go.
Part 7
Ethan: This is it… an exclusive party in the Hollywood Hills! (Collect the rare types.)
Your limo winds its way up the narrow backroads to the very tip-top of the Hollywood Hills. Inside the mansion, you see movie stars and fashion icons!
Danny: OMG! I think I see Alfonso Cauron! And over there… is that Zac Posen?
Ethan: Keep it together, Danny. Just be your perfect, beautiful self. Now flaunt that designer watch and come on.
Rewards
A short while later, you’re in the living room, surrounded by a group of celebrities! You finish up a story…
Danny: Obviously, I use an antioxidant serum and a moisturizer, but the best beauty secret I’ve ever learned… Be sure to smile!
The celebrities applaud! Several comment on your unique watch and glittering cheeks.
Ethan: You did it, Danny! They’re eating it up! Now it’s time for a graceful exit…
Part 8
Ethan: Danny, your entourage is filling out…
You and Ethan walk out onto the patio, where you can just make out the lights of Sunset Boulevard.
Sasha: I’m sorry, we wouldn’t want to intrude…
Peter: But we thought you guys might want to attend an afterparty?
Danny: …afterparty?
Ethan: Are you kidding? Definitely!
Time - 8 hours
Before sunrise the next morning, you’re lounging in a hot tub with your friends. Light reflects off the water and bounces off the lustrous gold dust on your cheeks!
Peter: Aww… look at you, Danny. You’re gorgeous!
Danny: Thanks! But I have to say, this is a pretty good looking crew all around!
Sasha: We’d be even better looking if Tom Hiddleston wasn’t passed out on the sofa inside.
Danny: Hee!
Ethan walks over. He refills your drink and slips into the bubbling water next to you.
Ethan: You did it, Danny. Here we are, hot tubbing with the Hollywood elite… What do you think about making it to the afterparty?
Danny: Wait… you doubted me? You didn’t think I could hold my own?
Ethan: No, err… not doubted… What I’m saying is… you exceeded my lofty expectations.
Sasha: Oh, I’ll second that!
Peter: Danny, you were practically the life of the party!
Everyone in the hot tub raises a glass in a toast!
Sasha: To Danny!
Rewards
Later that morning, you and Ethan dig into apple cinnamon waffles at Freddy’s.
Ethan: I can’t get over how amazing last night went… Your entourage is blowing up!
Danny: I have to admit… I’m starting to feel pretty popular.
Ethan: Hopefully, there’s room for at least one more.
Danny: …who?
Girl Action Heroes are extra rare! You’ll need to throw parties that include Director, Movie Star, and Fashionista attributes in order to meet one!
Part 9
Ethan: Action heroes are tough, but some of them are especially tough to meet. (Collect the rare type.)
You’re standing by a soundstage when Ethan rushes over…
Ethan: Danny, I just got your urgent text. What happened?
Danny: You know how we talked about having a badass action hero girl in my entourage?
Ethan: …yeah?
Danny: Well… DUCK!
The ground rumbles as a violent explosion shakes the whole soundstage. Debris rains down from overhead.
Danny: She’s filming the climax to her latest movie now!
Rewards
You and Ethan enter the soundstage…
Ethan: This set looks like a foggy Victorian street. And are those… werewolves?
You point to the other side of the soundstage, where skeletal husks emerge from the shadows.
Danny: And zombies!
As the two groups of monsters converge, a lean athletic woman leaps down from the rafters wielding dual scythes.
Part 10
Ethan: When the Director says ‘Action!’, Action Heroes know how to deliver!
Susan crashes into the crowd of zombies and werewolves, whipping her scythes with deadly precision… Soon, it’s her alone, standing atop a mound of monster corpses.
Susan: Now that was a graveyard smash.
She picks up a severed head and hefts it your direction. Ethan jumps away spritely!
Ethan: Hey now! This suit is Armani!
Time - 6 hours
Between takes, you, Ethan, and Susan practice dueling with the scythes…
Susan: Very nice, Danny. You’ve done this before!
Danny: Or I’m a quick learner!
Susan: Either way, you’re doing better than your Agent!
Ethan: Did I mention I’m wearing Armani?
You and Susan both lunge toward Ethan. Your blades cross like scissors, and his tie snips away!
Ethan: Hey now!
Danny: Whoops!
Rewards
Later that afternoon, you and Ethan drive back to Hollywood U. He takes a detour and parks along Hollywood Boulevard. He points at the gold stars embedded in the concrete sidewalk…
Ethan: Take a look, Danny. The Walk of Fame.
Danny: I know. This is right back where we started…
Ethan: It’s a callback, Danny. We’re here so I can make a point… Every single one of these people made it, Danny. And none of them made it alone.
Danny: You said that last time…
Ethan: I know. And since then, you’ve done everything I’ve asked, thrown dozens of parties, met amazing people…
Ethan kneels by a slab of concrete.
Ethan: But now, I’m telling you this: you can’t stop meeting new people, not ever… Not until your name is right here.
You kneel next to Ethan, and you place your palms on the concrete.
Danny: I promise.
