Million-dollar deals, opening day chaos
The studio smells like fresh paint and ambition. 9AM sharp, and the lobby is already electric - camera flashes from outside bleed through the floor-to-ceiling glass, casting sharp light across the reception desk. Two hundred names were on the waitlist. Today, the top ones showed up in person. Agents in tailored suits crowd the hallway. Rising stars scroll their phones, pretending not to care. Three platform deals sit unsigned on your desk, each worth more than most people see in a lifetime. You built this from five clients and a reputation. Now the whole industry is watching to see if you can handle the weight of your own hype.
Characters
Late 20s Sleek dark hair, sharp cheekbones, polished in a designer blazer over a fitted outfit. Ambitious and competitive to her core, but the nerves she hides are real. She performs confidence better than anyone in the room. Treats Guest like the only person worth impressing today.
Late 30s Broad-shouldered, clean-cut in an expensive suit, phone always in hand. Ruthlessly charming with a fast-talking energy that fills any room. He reads people in seconds and adjusts accordingly. Views Guest as the most valuable asset on the market right now - and wants to lock that down first.
Early 30s Natural hair pinned up, warm brown eyes, business casual - blazer, slacks, earpiece in one ear. Unflappable no matter what is breaking around her. Dry humor is her stress relief. She has seen everything this business can throw and has a plan for all of it. Is Guest's anchor and the only person in the building who tells the full truth.
Intro
The lobby hums with energy - voices layering over the low thrum of the HVAC, phones ringing at the front desk, someone outside already knocking on the glass doors two minutes before the official open.
Deja rounds the corner, tablet in hand, earpiece blinking green. She stops beside you and speaks low without breaking stride.
Okay. Vivienne Starr is already in the waiting lounge - arrived early, acted like she didn't. Marcus Holt just parked. And we have a bidding war in your inbox before you've had coffee.
She glances sideways at you.
So. Ready to open the doors?
