Torn By Fame (Full)

[Ploegy]

Fame and fortune are things everyone seeks in life, but very few actually achieve it. Those that do are sometimes changed by their fame and become entirely new people. For twelve friends, fame came along right out of high school and split them apart and moved them across the world. Now with all them graduated and across the world, their friendships and other relationships have seemed to vanish. That is until a trip to a secluded beach paradise is planned by one of them and the rest are invited. Some are reluctant to go, but in the end all the friends arrive to find that the island has been catered just for them. A lot of fun is to be had with old friends and maybe something more will come out of being reunited. There is much to do from relaxing on the beach, to hitting up the shops to seeing the various different sites. There is bound to be plenty of fun to be had and a lot to catch up on after fame came about. Will these old friends be changed too much to get along anymore or will things go back to the way they were? Will new romances arise? It is hard to say, but things have certainly changed.

Long flights were nothing new to him after all the traveling he had done for certain shoots, but not knowing what his exact destination was like beforehand was a bit unsettling to him. Normally his costars or someone else on set knew what the places they'd be filming in were like, but now he had nobody. Running his fingers through his messy hair as he awaited his luggage to come, he couldn't help but wonder what the rest had been up to. He knew some had become successful, but others he wasn't so sure. Everyone had had talents back when they were together. That was for sure, but it was always hard to judge who would make it into the fame and who wouldn't. Plus once some of them graduated, he lost touch with them. This was especially true given that he had been the youngest among the group. As much as he hated being considered "the baby" of their former friend group, he knew he couldn't deny such. It had only been just over two years since he graduated high school whereas some of the others had been done for six. It was funny to think how he had befriended some seniors his freshmen year of high school and hadn't seen them since.

Pushing the thought off as his suitcase came by, he grabbed it and began to make his way toward the exit. He already knew the hotel the group was supposed to meet at. Making his way outside, he saw a taxi already sitting out in front as if it had been expecting to pick someone up. Shrugging his shoulders, he climbed in and told the driver where to go. Once he arrived, Quinton climbed out. He wasn't exactly at the doorstep of their location, but he could see the huts lined along the water with the beach just beyond them. It would be a short walk to get there from the street, but he didn't mind.

"Wow, this place is beautiful," he mumbled under his breath as he made his way along the boardwalk leading down to the huts. As he drew closer, he spotted one structure that was larger than the others. He safely assumed this was a clubhouse of sorts where they could all gather and hang out. That would be his first destination. Approaching the building, he pushed open the doors to see nobody was even inside. There wasn't even someone working the front desk. Whoever had set this whole thing up really had made sure they were alone. It must have been for good reason. Shrugging it off, he pulled his luggage across the room and over to the nearest seat. Plopping down, he awaited to see who might show up first.

Instead of going straight for the hotel like most would have done, the young model had left her things just inside the lobby before making her way out to explore the beach for a couple of minutes. She had been the first to arrive anyways so why not explore for a few. Walking along the shore, she couldn't believe how beautiful the place actually was. She had expected an ordinary place. Then again she didn't really know what to expect had come of her former friends. She knew she had done a poor job at keeping up with them since high school, but her career as an athlete just swept her up and forced her into a rather busy lifestyle. Besides, she hadn't seen them in years now. Maybe they wouldn't even think a thing about her becoming so distant and hard to reach.

Taking one last look at the sapphire blue waters, Harper turned away and began to make her way back toward the group of huts just in time to see a taxi pull away. So someone else had finally shown up? Lucky her. Allowing a faint smile to cross her lips, she quickened her pace in excitement. She wasn't even sure why she was excited. Maybe there were a few she wanted to see, though for the most part she had only come on the trip to have a small vacation from her hectic hockey career. Making her way over to the clubhouse, she stepped inside only to see Quinton sitting on the other side of the room by himself. Of all the ones she expected to see arrive first, it hadn't been him. Waving in his direction, the girl turned to make her way over to the nearby vending machines instead and see what they had to offer before she'd have to force herself to go over and greet the male on the other side of the room.

He didn't seem to be making any attempts to come over to her, which was a relief. Maybe he planned on waiting for others. That was fine by her. Stopping in front of the machine, she scanned over her options. There wasn't all too much to chose from sadly and the lack of healthy options was no surprise either.

she stepped onto land. she took a deep breath, looking around, the wind gently blowing her hair. she removed her sun glasses to get a better look. she grabbed her phone from her bag and moved it to her back pocket for easier access. she wasn't sure what this was all about but would be ready to leave if it was needed. she was a bit underwhelmed at first, she liked to get a good look before deciding how she felt about a place. she was told they were staying in hutchs so she decided to head there. she was wearing a [removed]showy crop top and white ripped jeans, her elephant tattoo on her stomach showing well. Her hair was put up in a messy yet stylish bun.

Elias was a bit nervous. the whole ride he was tapping and fidgeting. he was thinking about turning around but something told him to go. when the plane landed he took a deep breath "no going back." he said softly. he took in the scenery, it was lovely. he remembered being told about huts, so he decided that he would go there and see what that was bout first, getting settled in was step one, after all, to any trip. he was wearing a cute, aesthetic sweater with an alien on it and simple black pants. his hair was messy as always today, he couldn't tame them so he just let his curls be. he saw a few others and started fidgeting with his sleeves nervously.

alpha had been on her fair share of flights before, which is why the prospect of taking a boat to an island was so interesting to her. as soon as the opportunity to do so had opened up to her, she had jumped on it, cancelling her plane ticket and boarding the boat the same day. the ride was long, but it certainly wasn't boring- at least not to alpha, who was hanging on to every little thing she saw, spending her time on the deck, looking out over the ocean. once she arrived at her destination, she thanked every member of the crew before leaving, suitcases in tow.
it wasn't hard to find where she was staying. there was a row of little huts that it was easy to assume had been set aside for her and her friends. her long lost friends, really. alpha hadn't kept in touch much with anyone in the group aside from keegan, but keegan had stopped communicating with her a few months ago. still, alpha assumed she was alright. after all, keegan was keegan- and when the two had been teenagers, keegan had always seemed invincible.
despite the fact it was easy for alpha to find the huts, she still wasn't quite sure which one she belonged in. the logical thing to do was to head to the largest of them, which she assumed to be some sort of lobby or clubhouse. inside, she found nobody at the desk, but a boy she quickly recognized. "quinton!" alpha said cheerfully, grinning widely. "oh my god, how have you been?"

tulio torres ; twenty-four ; male ; she/her ; dj ; location: beach ; tagging: open

time off from touring sounded exactly like what tulio needed. ever since her career had taken off, it seemed like she was on the road nonstop, playing in a new city every night. it had left her with little time to do her own thing, let alone keep in touch with her friends, so after several years of not speaking with any of them because of her busy schedule, a chance to relax and catch up with them sounded like exactly what she needed. of course, her management hadn't been happy about this, but tulio would rather have unhappy management than to quite literally be worked to death. as it turned out, fame wasn't all fancy cars and private jets. tulio had never wanted it much to begin with, though.
she was among the first to arrive, she noticed it quickly. the place was pretty quiet, and she found an empty hut to store her things in. tulio had packed as minimally as possible- a few changes of clothes, toiletries, and a small mixing board set up. heaven forbid she fall out of practice while she was here.
once settled, tulio changed out of the clothes she had worn on her flight- a worn t-shirt and sweatpants- and into a pair of khaki shorts and a button up polo shirt. while everyone else was arriving, she might as well explore a bit, she thought. her first destination was the beach- it had been calling to her ever since she had arrived. while tulio had seen many, many beaches in the last few years, she had never really taken the time to just be there on one. it was an interesting change from watching a beach pass by out a car window on her way to another airport. tulio found herself sitting quietly on the shore, her shoes off and her feet buried in the sand as she watched the water.

Sick... Nauseous, feeling like she was about to throw up or pass out... It wasn't from nervousness or anxiety, it was from this damn boat swaying, it was large enough that the waves rocking the boat wasn't overly noticeable, but god did Keegan hate boats, this motion sickness and the feeling of her head spinning... God... Lala was bouncing back and forth across the deck, peering over the edge and into the ocean, enjoying every moment of this torturous adventure. Keegan adjusted herself in the seat to mock glare at the dog, this was all her fault that she was trapped on this death trap. 'I'm sorry, but you can only bring animals that can fit in a carrier under your seat, otherwise she'll have to go in the cargo hold'. Now they were here. Her hands gripped the seat, trying to focus on steadying her breathing, as she took a deep breath in, she nearly choked on the surprising saltiness of the air, she had never really been to the ocean that much before so now that she was having so much of it... Keegan was finding she didn't quite like the ocean. A soft cough escaped her mouth before she swallowed it, not wanting to seem like an idiot and rubbed her temples, short blonde hair brushing against her fingers as she did. Okay, Keegan needed a distraction, this was going to be the first human interaction that wasn't with her maids, gardeners, producer or manager in months, there may be questions... Her mind flashed to Alpha first, beautiful, the way her laugh sounded over the phone, the dumb stuff they used to do, it brought back a wave of nostalgia. Her hand absently trailed up her leg to trace the matching tattoo they had gotten, it was from an amateur artist, so it looked like trash but... She never had the guts to get it covered.

Keegan's eyes had been locked onto Lala's dizzying running about, that she hadn't noticed as one of the crew members was approaching with her bags, "Excuse me, we're almost there, Miss. Wish" He stated, hesitantly but politely, and she jerked, adjusting her sunglasses to peer in front of the ship... Sure enough, they were approaching the dock, "Lala!" She called, and the dog darted over, wiggling in excitement, panting as Keegan picked up Lala's backpack, a small harness like bag that fit over her bag, "Sit" She finally had to say so the dog would sit still long enough to snap it all on, and even when she was sitting, Lala kept shifting her weight and leaning forward to run her wet tongue across Keegan's cheek. Once Lala was released, she darted back over to the edge, to stand on her back legs and peer over the railing at the ocean. Turning her hat back, she pulled her backpack onto one shoulder, and Lala's other bag onto her other shoulder, pushing her skateboard down with her foot. "You can put those two on the docks, I'll come back for them" She grunted, taking a testing step onto her board, but she quickly stepped off, already dizzy from the rocking, she didn't want to take the chance of looking like an idiot and falling off her board.

Finally the boat was docked, the man helped her across, then Lala, and then fetched her other two bags, the second Lala's paws hit the deck, she was darting around, trying to inhale the entire dock with how hard she was sniffing. As Keegan's feet hit the dock, she felt a shudder of relief, taking a moment to savor solid ground, "Thanks" She stated, curtly, before setting her board down and stepping onto it, easily, it took a minute to figure out her weight, not use to hauling things with her while she skated, but she figured it out fast. Pushing forward across the bumpy dock, Lala trotted along side her, with her tongue hanging out, "That was still all your fault" She grumbled, out loud, but Lala didn't take any notice, just keeping pace with her. The place they were staying at was almost right on top of the docks, only maybe a block away, she could see the edge of the buildings from the dock, so she skated down to the boardwalk, where she dumped her stuff, and skated back for the other two bags while Lala stood guard, barely able to sit still from her excitement. Once back, she pushed her skateboard up so she could store it under her arm, and took a minute to attempt to grab everything, it took a minute to adjust the weight and grip before she could waddle forward, she wasn't sure how long they were to be here, so she packed for at least a couple weeks, even if everyone didn't stay for long, she at least could use a vacation, even if the beach wasn't her dream getaway. "C'mon Lala" She grunted under the weight, waddling forward towards the largest building. "Hope it has air conditioning" She said, skeptically as a bead of sweat rolled down her face... Damn humidity.

Finally arriving at the door with her annoying, slow pace, she used her hip to push open the door, grunting with the effort of the bags pushing awkwardly against her, "In" She hissed, and Lala darted inside, sniffing everything immediately, her tail a blur. Keegan ungraciously dumped her bags onto the floor, enjoying the cool air, but slightly annoyed that she was both, out of breath and slightly sweaty from that small endeavor, she tensed as she realized who was in the room with her, her eyes darting from the three. Harper had glanced towards her when she entered but was (purposely?) busying herself with the vending machine, while Keegan's eyes darted over to Quinton and Alpha. Okay... Words, human interaction, easy right? Everyone does it. Crap, what was she going to say? She ran through a bunch of possible things, 'Sorry I stopped talking to you guys?' No, that'd end up going down a road about why she had done that, 'Hey! Looks like the gang's all here!', no that was just awkward, 'Hey! How's it going, guys?'' Was that too casual? That felt too casual... Keegan didn't get a chance to figure it out because Lala darted over to Quinton and Alpha, wiggling just out of range, waiting for permission to approach as her tail was blur from her excitement at seeing someone, oh thank god for Lala, she might make this easier, gritting her teeth, she followed a little more cautiously, somewhat pushing her bags with her foot so she wouldn't have to haul them anywhere else for a minute. Once close enough, she hesitantly approached, smiling warily at the two, using Lala was the way to start the conversation, trying to imagine how she must look. Probably the same, she was wearing a black tank top, her short shorts and high tops, and a clean snap back, on backwards, she probably didn't look like she changed at all.

Alejandro hated this plane ride, it was mostly empty but luckily, his pet sitter answered the video chat call, so he spent most of the flight talking to her and Tigger, pangs in his chest reminding him about how much he was going to miss him until he came back home. Forcing himself to calm down, he finally had to end the call as his laptop was already dying... Dammit... He managed to catch the flight attendant and they chatted until he was leaving, he waved, and she ended up shyly giving him her number, he smiled and pocketed it but he wasn't sure if he'd call... Maybe on a rainy day when he was alone. He walked briskly, he only had his bag, his laptop bag and his camera equipment, in their bags, he walked easily, stopping to snap a picture of the steps just outside the doors, the palm trees swaying with a blue sky, not a cloud in the sky, pretty. He moved easily to the awaiting taxi, ignoring the fact that he was waiting for him like he was always meant to show up, and chatted with him easily the whole short trip, and waved goodbye as he was dropped off a bit from the boardwalk. The walk was easy, even with his heavy equipment in their bags, he had made harder trips with more stuff, that was one reason he was so much stronger then last time he had seen everyone. That thought just popped into his head, oh, hey... He's changed a lot, he nearly forgot, glancing down at his strong frame beneath the form fitting blue exercise shirt he was in, with some denim shorts and hiking shoes, he stopped to ponder if anyone else would have changed as well before pushing it aside, who cares? They were still his friends! His eyes were drawn to the largest building, assuming that to be check in, but his eyes spotted a somewhat familiar figure so he changed direction for that, as he got closer, squinting to tell who it was, his eyes widened behind his sunglasses, "Tulio! Is that you?" He called, excitedly.

His eyes followed Harper for a moment as she entering the building, though she seemed to keep her distance for the time being. It definitely had been a long time since he had last seen her or even talked to her. In the short time he had known her she had always been kind to him and he had always enjoyed her company. It seemed right now she was a bit reluctant to approach. In a way he didn't blame her. She probably didn't want to be bothered by some kid even though he wouldn't consider himself a kid anymore. Back in high school, yes, but now he was an adult, though he had been the only true freshmen in the group back in school. Besides, he knew how he had been back in school. He'd been that kind of scrawny, curly headed kid that always had a smile plastered on his face like nothing was wrong in the world. He definitely had changed since then and so had Harper from the looks of it. She looked far more muscular than he previously remembered. Knowing her, she probably had gone on to have some kind of career in sports like she had always talked about.

His attention was soon drawn away from the woman on the other side of the room when a voice called out to him. Blinking a few times, Quinton took a moment to register it, but as soon as his gaze landed on Alpha, he was no longer left guessing. From the grin on her face, she seemed overly excited to see him. It was nothing new to him, though he found it hard to share the same kind of excitement. By no means did he think poorly of her, but her almost forced big sister act on him had always made him a bit uncomfortable. That was saying a lot given how comfortable he was with almost everyone. Even if it wasn't the most comfortable situation, Alpha had always been kind to him and he respected her for that though he wasn't sure if that was simply because he and Keegan had been close or if she really did care. Either way, the boy pushed himself to his feet and stepped past his luggage to give her a small wave accompanied by a genuine smile. "Hey Alpha," he finally greeted. "I've been doing pretty great. Life certainly has been treating me well. You?"

His gaze seemed to drift past her as the door opened once again, catching his attention almost immediately. At first his eyes locked on to the canine that entered and his face seemed to light up in joy. He had always been a dog lover ever since he was a kid and his own two canine companions were supposed to be arriving later in the night due to a small delay in the cargo flight that they had been put on. It was a bit disappointing, but Quin knew that Lady and Thor would be just fine and it would only be that much more exciting once they got here. Now they'd have another dog to play with. That would be a bonus for the young black lab pup he had. But beyond the dog, he caught sight of the one that had entered. It was none other than Keegan. For so long he had been close with her even if she constantly embarrassed him, but of recent things had been quiet between them. Looking at her now, he wasn't sure if he was disappointed or simply shocked. Maybe it was both? Either way, he forced the smile to stay on his face. Even if he was hurt by what she had done, he couldn't shift all the blame on her. He was part of the problem too. His hectic life swept him away from all his old friends, Keegan included. That was just the price he had to pay for becoming a movie actor. Deciding to break the silence, Quinton took a deep breath. What was he even going to say to her? For someone who loved to talk it was hard to believe that he was struggling to find the right words to say. "Well, if it isn't good ol' Keegan."

Mentally he slapped himself for how stupid he sounded, but it was the first thing that had come to mind and escaped his lips. At least it was better than letting the silence loom over them. He could only imagine how awkward that might have become. Besides, it was hard for him to stay quiet. He had always been seen as the social butterfly and found it hard to keep his mouth shut. Even now in his days as a celeb he still ran into the same problem. On several occasions he had been caught letting spoilers for his own movies slip. Of course he always tried to laugh them off, but his costars would call him out on it eventually. What could he say? Trusting him with secrets was never a good idea.
