» let’s find out a little bit about C A S H ;
No one knows much about Cash Dustin Sinclair–only his undeniable love for the arts. You can find him writing scores of poetry down by the seaside, curled up with a philosophy book on the boardwalk, or meandering through the nearest art gallery. But to every side of Sinclair you do know, there is a part you are completely unaware of. You know him as an aesthete; you do not know of his rigorous boxing training. He exerts his anger through boxing, but sometimes he believes it is not enough. He wants a fight club, in some ways, he thinks of himself as similar to Tyler Durden–an adversary to consumerism and the white collar branch of the work force. But you would never know this about Cash, he would only tell you what he wants you to know, he prides himself in the mystery shrouding his life. Master of masks, he calls himself, for he feels as though, " —that we all waltz at a masquerade ball from sunrise to sunset. Decked in dresses of the prodigal kind. Tuxes dripping down boys’ backsides. Masks framing each and every face, some beautiful, others more frightening. We play dress up; we toy with our personalities and our pasts in order to appeal. To conceal. To see the person behind the mask, cameras would have to follow their every move—but then, would you like the monster beneath the mask or request she puts the black sheath back over her eyes? People lie. People cheat. People deceit. And for what? For a sense of falsity? I know why. Because it’s better for people to hate the fake you than the real you.”
But since coming to Gulf, Cash lulled back into a sense of self he feels comfortable in, for once in his life, he feels content, whole. But even now, in this town, people still don’t know his entirety and they most certainly do not know his history. His mother, an old movie star, fell in love with an impoverished man, a clash of the classes, they would call it. His mother, dripping in furs and jewels, clashed with his father’s dirt and grim from his day’s work. As a young child, he would watch as his mother acted one way around him and his father… then another around the cameras. And when he turned eighteen, he snapped at his mom, screaming horrible things at her, tears falling from his eyes… they never did resolve that argument. Instead, his mother hopped in her limo, the limo which would later crash that night. Cash never did apologize or make amends, rather he fled his hometown, New York City, leaving his father in disarray. He hopped from town to town, adapting to exactly how the people wanted him to be. He became the part of his mother he always hated the most–the different roles she played.
Out of all the arts, Cash only hates films and movies, his reasoning simple. Will he ever develop a love for movies again? Perhaps. But as for the meantime, Cash will continue playing the role of the charming, bewitching aesthete.
» what has C A S H been up to this past year, only time will tell ;
Taking journalism and philosophy classes at the local university, a woman perplexed Cash when she offered him a job. For a student without a degree, such a job consisting of a sweet pay from a prestigious newspaper was practically unheard of. But, apparently, the lady took a liking to his writing style and snatched him right up–he is twenty-three, after all. Cash did regular pieces, nothing too out of the ordinary until his boss heard of Rhett Harding’s gathering at his summer house. She approached him, giving him a task: to find out their secrets and expose them in an article. Sure, Cash has heard of the famous rockstar, who hasn’t? He was at first weary, but after his said she would make big money off this, and Cash did a bit of research on Rhett, his confidence skyrocketed. Cash, master of masks, readily accepted the job, but still has some doubts. He feels comfortable in Gulf Shores and does not want to ruin that. Cash did not expect to find the feeling of home in such a small town with a severe lack of quality when it came to art exhibits. Along with the slight feeling of comfort, Cash fears of becoming emotionally invested into these people as he has done so with the Cohens. To Cash, the Cohens are like a second family, and it was told to him by his boss that as a journalist and a reporter, it is important to not mix feelings with business. In the end, however, Cash was raised a certain way and is still the suave man who appreciates the art of acting. Cash believes he will have no problems exposing the movie stars and the rich businessmen; in fact, he will take pride in doing so. Too bad Cash hasn’t realized that he is becoming more and more like his mother and with this article there will be consequences.
» C A S H ’S connections ;
Paige Sydney Cohen » the sister he never had
Now, you can’t become so-called brothers with Ryder and neglect to become friends with Paige. The Cohen siblings are a package deal. Where Ryder is, Paige closely follows. Paige moans and groans every time Cash drags her to an art gallery or an exhibition of a local artist or to one of his poetry readings, but she ends up smiling in the end because of the way Cash describes everything so eloquently. Besides, by dragging Paige along, he’s learned quite a bit due to the big mouth Paige possesses when she gets comfortable.
Ryder Axel Cohen » the new-found family
After Cash abandoned his own family, I guess you could say he needed people to fill that void. Not as though Cash detested his father in the slightest, but he felt he lost his family in that car crash despite only one perished. Upon first meeting Ryder, he shocked Cash… the mere fact someone could lack so much motivation, be so indulgent, and take amusement in the embarrassment and pain of others. But this only made Cash want to analyze the boy more and more… and with time, he came to accept the boy’s grisly habits–frankly because Ryder is so real with everyone. He’s straight to the point. And Cash has had enough lying and fakes to last a lifetime. But even Ryder does not know who the real Cash Sinclair is… no one really does.
Lana Olivia Kramer » the mutual agreement
Cash knows Lana’s secret and Lana knows about his job, so they made a pact as to not to tell anyone. Not a single soul. Neither of them can risk it. Lana gives him hell for his secret, exploiting people by becoming friends with them… making them fall in love with him… she frankly will not fall for it. But she can’t help but have a sinking feeling that Cash may expose her… he seems to know no bounds with this job, but, then again, Lana does not exactly know Cash all that well. Cash still hasn’t decided if he will be exposing Lana, like a good actor and writer, he is weighing the pros and cons.
Rhett Samuel Harding » the fool
Cash approached Rhett on the boardwalk, slapping him on the back, grinning, “Rhett, my old friend!” You see, he claims to be Rhett’s old friend from high school—but, frankly, Rhett can’t remember half his friends from high school. So, he went along with it. But Cash lied, he needed a way into the house and what better way than the source itself? He keeps telling stories about the good, old days and Rhett keeps on believing him. To Cash, Rhett defines consumerism, thus he cannot help but have a bitter taste in his mouth when he talks to the lad. But perhaps his views of the rock star will change after Rhett reverts back to his old self. Cash, at this point, doesn’t think Rhett’s old self is reachable and has his doubts. Who knows, maybe the rockstar can prove his worth.
