    Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

    So we have some bad news.

    The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

    I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it

    TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

    To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

    I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

    I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

    I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

    I'll see you all around.

    With so many regards, Duke William Of.

    Well, that's a plan. Let's hope the Magoose Dice can be a bit more helpful this time around. As random as they are.

    Duke William of said:
    "Thanks for the confidence, Clint." You said. "Hopefully I won't feel all burned out when this is over."

    "Well just find the little things that make things fun." He stated. "And if you do not wish to work on the show... Well, make sure you get a payday and give it all you got until then."

    Jeez, Clint, you distracted yourself from burning out on Rawhide by doing a Sergio Leone movie. That isn't little at all. :V
     
    We are on the show business, a business that is notorious for being ruled by favoritism and nepotisem, so we gotta make friends (optimitscaly powerful ones) and we gotta get our head in the game, have someone to negoatiotate for us (with bonuses for the roll I hope, and maybe they will be able to help us hide the fact that we underaged? Cause it seems like a thing that can explode in our faces) and learn how to handle money, we can work on our ideas later (and god I want to work on some ideas I have, and ideas I saw suggested) but we should network as soon as possible!

    "In Hollywood, work comes from your network"

    [X] Plan: Networking, and Self-improvement
    -[X]Meet the Rest of the Cast: You want to meet the people you will be working with for the next few... well however long you are stay the show. DC: 20
    -[X]Meet the Producers: The Moneymen and people in charge are always going to be an influence on you. Perhaps you can have a better second impression. DC: 40
    -[X]Networking: Well time to start finding out who might actually be interested in meeting you. (Write-in what you want to try and network with)
    --[X] try to network inviting key people (be it fellow actors, producers, or even some of the crew) for a drink, and keep in touch with them, a good word or reccomandtion can go a long way in this business. Try to make friends with people.
    -[X]Hire an Agent: You need someone who is entirely capable of negotiating for you. Cost 1000 Dollars per month. DC: ???
    -[X]Take Business Classes: You are lacking in fincancial education. Time to change that. Cost 1000 Dollars per use. DC: 20
     
    I'm sold on that.

    [X] Plan: First Impressions

    -[X]Meet the Rest of the Cast: You want to meet the people you will be working with for the next few... well however long you are stay the show. DC: 20

    -[X]Work on your Comedy: This, looking at the first draft of the scripts, is a comedy series. And while you are a good actor, you know you are not good at comedy, even if your timing has gotten better. DC: 40

    -[X] Research stuff, see if anything piques your interest: You may have graduated High School as a kid, but you never stopped trying to learn. DC: 15 (Write-in what you want to learn about below)
    --[X] Military Communications and Culture: Most of a message isn't the words that are said, but how they are presented. In knowing what an officer or soldier would do, you can make sure that any action is as real as possible, and any deviation is purposeful.

    -[X] Call your parents: You need to call mom and dad, see how they are doing? DC: 10 (You call your parents and see what they are doing)

    []Networking: Well time to start finding out who might actually be interested in meeting you. (Write-in what you want to try and network with)
    Nah, this can wait until after we have met our coworkers.

    -[X]The Call of Creation: You want to create something of your own, a story, an idea that maybe, you can shop around to more talented people. DC: ???. Write in what you want to create. Reward: (Your write in idea will be going through the creative process)
    --[X] We begin to form a story about a world wherein a person is born with an affinity to 'something'. This 'something' can be anything, ranging from cooking to swordplay, writing to ditchdigging. It is never obvious what that 'something' is until you have actually done the action itself. The story focuses on a young/mid 20s adult who has yet to find what their niche is, and explores them as they try to figure it out, faking already having it in order to continue being a part of their community.
