-[X]The MASHTERFUL Reunion: They came crawling back, trying to get you on for a second season. You and everyone else. Lets see who has the Leverege now? DC: 0 (You can negotiate with them. Or you can write in no, and see how they react.)
--[X] Team up with the other actors that hasn't abandoned the ship during the entire run to decide whether or not we should actually continue the series together, or tell the CBS to shove it where they won't see the end of day. (If we do not get convinced, we're not joining for a second season). If the cast is in majority agreement and we're in tell CBS you will entertain this as possibility only if they sign on a much better contract regarding working conditions and money. Cooperate with the Screen Actor's Guild to help secure the deal for yourself and also hopefully make sure CBS doesn't slack on its other properties.

You did not want to be here. That was something that most of the other cast members and creative minds of the show did not share. It seems after the suit that came to nearly destroying CBS, which only lead to MASH swooping in and saving the entire company like Batman in a comic book…
But you digress. Nothing made you happy to be here, except for the simple fact that Mclean was happy, and seemingly over his long stay at an Asylum.
The producers and executives of CBS… were not so happy to see you.
At all. "We can't have this meeting with him." One spoke before you sighed.
Alan however spoke up, before there could be anything from you. "Except that we are here because we are all acting together." He replied. "That includes Bruce."
Even Wayne, who did not like you, was standing beside you, and he was very happy to see you look uncomfortable. Yet in the end, it was very clear that he was just as unhappy as you were.
Most of everyone else on the cast had made things abundantly clear that they were not going to leave, and if you weren't there, none of them would remain. "So… you wish to make another season?"
"Two." The suit said quickly. "Without him." He pointed to you. "Bruce O'Brian is someone we will never work with again, and hopefully never finds himself working in the business of television again."
That was where Loretta and Alan Laughed. "Oh god, you really don't understand the situation, do you?"
Alan was laughing nearly hysterically now. "He's part of this now. And Bruce, for all of his possible misgivings-" You raised your eyebrows as that before you realized he was setting them up for a very hook. "Is a member of this crew, dare I say, one of the more important ones. And in my opinion, one of its best."
Even Wayne was surprised at Alan's, either humility or just plain old batsmanship… but he was right. In your mind at least.
"Now, since you, assholes did everything you could to kill this show, and it became a success despite it… you really want to piss us off, and throw our friend under the bus?"
At that, they lost. They knew they lost, and all they could do was accept that.

-[X]A Date with Carrie: Carrie wants to go on a date with you. You will oblige. DC: 25
--[X] She wants to be an actress, you're a theatre school kid. Take her to go see a proper Shakespearean play! Then after take her to a nice Chinese restaurant, wow her with your ability to speak multiple languages. It pays to show off sometimes. Rolled:
D100 => 81+20=101
You took her to your favorite play of Shakespeare. And no, it was not Hamlet, it was Henry the V. You loved the story of Henry the King of England because he was a young man, perhaps not thrust into the position where he grew up and became a better man.
That was of course, step one. It was almost impossible to screw up. Even with the acting actually being absolute dog shit.
The Chinese restaurant was actually on the side of the town you would get a lot more if you didn't have so much money.
However, it was a place that Bruce liked, and you could get away with speaking a bit of Cantonese.
The chef there was from Hong Kong, and he loved watching Fist of Fury.
And you impressed Carrie by speaking the same language as the chef, who treated you like one of the family. and ordering a dish you fell in love with while in Hong Kong.
It was a simple noodle dish, but instead of pork, it was chicken, mixed with egg and rice.
By the end of the date, it really just ended with you both spending time in your apartment. You didn't really do anything serious, but cuddle.
You didn't even kiss you when she moved forward with it, giving you the silent nod to do so, because you knew it wasn't the right moment.
You didn't want to be the one who initiated it, because you feared you would be taking advantage of her.
If anything, that made her realize what a good friend you were.
Reward: You had an extremely successful date with Carrie, and you have proven yourself not only a gentleman… but a very good man that she could only have dreamed of.
You have made an impression that would take something horrible to break.

-[X]Helping Carrie: Carrie has come to you asking for help. Trying to help her kick her Drug Habit. DC 20/50/70
-- [X] Be there with her for support as addiction can be a lonely and isolating experience. Let Carrie know that you are there for them and that you support her in their efforts to overcome her addiction. Offer to accompany her to appointments, support groups, or other recovery-related activities Rolled Autopass!
It started with just walking her to the doctor on a fateful day. It was when she finally wanted to try and get help. It was almost impossible to get her to stop being afraid, yet instead, it was easy.
You were there after all.
"It's going to be okay." You said to her. It was almost impossible to realize that. "You can get through this."
It may have not been something you were really able to do… properly. But you could be here.
After the first visit, there was a sense of ease that Carrie had. She was almost certainly feeling calmer, but that was when she was with you.
You realized that she had been… trying to stop. There was a sense of ease when you were there.
Yet every meeting with the doctor, or the meeting, you said the same thing. "It's going to be okay. You can get through this."
It was those same words that seemed to allow you to see just how well she could be.
You saw her go from being afraid.
To be happy.
It was not always going to be the end. You knew the struggle was there.
But you knew, as long as she had help, or she had faith in herself… There was going to be light at the end of the dark tunnel.
But the best thing you saw, at least for Carrie… Was Debbie walking to you one day, and merely saying. "Thank you for helping me see the pain my daughter is in."
You didn't know what prompted it. But you knew Debbie Reynolds was doing her best. Just as you were.
Reward: Carrie has begun the Long road to recovery from her addiction.
But you've built a wall of support for her, by being there. And it's helped Carrie immensely. Perhaps in ways you don't really understand.

D100 => 29
You and Clint sat down across from each other, and you were trying to get the best question to ask. "Clint… How did you meet my dad?"
That caused Clint to laugh. "Ancient history? You wanna learn about that time when you were not even a thought?" There was joy in his tone, and old times glinting in his mind. "We met on the set of Rawhide, and that's about it. He was an extra. Sometimes he got a line or two but never had that much ambition."
"Really? Dad not having ambition doesn't seem like dad?"
"Well, that was before he met your mother." He replied. "She brought out the best in him. Always had. Even more than the directors and the cameramen." He then laughed. "Come on, why you ask?"
"Dad never liked talking about the past." You replied.
"Because he gave up his chance for glory to be with your mother." He replied. "I think he made a good trade."
You nodded. "I think he did."
Reward: You and Clint talk about the past.
He might be ready to have a future part for you.
