Turns out, that sometimes what the people want is a good heist movie.
(Continued in the Score)

-[X]Helping out a Friend: So Mike has a problem. Well not a problem, more of a… non- nepotistic scheme. He wants to get his son into a low-level executive position, and he needs a contact. He's asked you. DC: 30 Rolled:
D100 => 8
You refused, he was 13 for goodness sake, and despite his obvious talent, you weren't exactly in the mood to bring that kind of media scrutiny on your company, even if it was for Mike.
Mike was unhappy about that, claiming that Mary and Wally did the exact same thing.
But you told him that you were not paying them, that the ILM staff didn't have to listen to them, and that their buildings never really did anything…
Except when it drove you insane when they decided to try and change the world.
And you were going to go grey when that happened. But you still refused.
Failure: Mike is a bit unhappy with it all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Lucasarts Japan: Sakaguchi and his cohorts in Japan have all but told you that there is a problem with the Console that you are all making. A Problem called, Nintendo, and their Famicom, or whatever the hell it was called. Something about licensing. DC: 20 Rolled:
D100 => 5
Sakaguchi was unhappy as you looked at him through the video call, and it was clear that the man was on the verge of becoming far more angrier than you suspected. "It's the cartridge we are looking to use for our system. It's under their patent."
"Is it going to be a problem?" You asked.
He shook his head and then you saw all the frustration in it. "They are claiming it's proprietary. A weak claim, but that is the problem, if we brought it to court it could take years, and then we will have wasted time."
"Do they want anything?" You asked.
"They don't want us to use it, and if we try to use it, we'll be sued."
You then took a breath. "Can you just, make something else?"
"That will take time." He replied. "And I don't know how we can do that without committing patent fraud."
That made you smile. "You'll think of something, and if not, I'll send in Mike. He always seems to get people to agree with him when money is involved."
Failure: You might need to invent your own stuff, or send in the negotiators.
Because Nintendo was looking to for something to use to negotiate or to stop the competition from trying to encroach on their territory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Some Kids in America: Hideo Kojima, Jordan Mechiner and some other developers are trying to make their games… problem, they all have different ideas and they have to focus, and they asked you to take a look at the ideas they have, and well... help them narrow it down. DC: ???
--[X] Focus on Rescue on Fractalus Rolled:
D100 => 91
You looked at the crew and gave them the Rescue on Fractalus game. George liked it, and it had potential.
So you had that.
And those kids were like rabid hounds trying to build it up.
Reward: Rescue on Fractalus will soon be released in May as an exclusive on Lucasarts console.
---------------------------------
-[X]Importing Foreign Films: So… you may have a way to get some films showing in American Theaters. Maybe you can go to other foreign film industries and… well, ask to distribute their films. Sure many of those foreign film companies never expected an American company to distribute their films in the US… but maybe you can get money without producing them. (Linetail where you try to get films from, and if there are any specific films, line tail them below) DC: ???
--[X] Canada. Carrie brought to your attention some Canadian animated film called "Rock and Rule", an animated rock opera whose creators approached her a wild back for the rights to one of her songs for the film. Sounds like a fun concept, see if it can be a Lucasfilms release. Rolled:
D100 => 3+20=23
Reroll:
D100 + 20 => 21
Reroll 2:
D100 + 20 => 24
As much as you try to bring in the negotiation, you could not. Because it seems that MGM has had it… and they paid top dollar for it.
Failure.
----------------------------------------------
-[X]Carrie's Cravings: So Carrie, as you learned has some strange cravings, but most of the time it's normal. This is not one of those times. DC: ??? Rolled:
D100 + 30 => 99
Chocolate-covered caviar.
That was the kind of shit you suspected crazy rich people would have for their bashes and not care for stuff… but you were forced to get creative. Caviar was not something you normally shopped for, but you knew some people who were able to get you quite a bit. Chocolate thankfully was easy to get to, any grocery store had it.
Anyway, as you got it and began mixing, you were sure that your wife was looking at you with a glare of both evil and…
Well, she did what you suspected. Took a spoon to the Chocolate-covered caviar, and ate it.
It was disgusting, but fascinating to see her scarf it down.
Reward: Carrie got her cravings fulfilled… and you were just happy that you were not forced to sleep on the couch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]The Art of the Siblings: So Mary has proclaimed it was a silly time. And that meant you had to grab your costume. DC: 0 Rolled:
D100 => 56
-[X]The Family Time: You need a night out with the family dammit! No more drama, no more work, just you and Carrie and the Kids! Rolled:
D100 => 14
It was times like these that you wished, for a time when your kids would try something normal, like painting, or acting. But no, they would rather be adventurers of the greatest kind, while trying to slay the great king who had taken the land and placed it under his dark command.
"This is for the bedtime! We shall be free from its tyranny!" Mary proclaimed while Joseph and Sarah cried as they tackled you. At least you got to be the King this time, the Evil king that was ruling the land of home with an iron hand.
Carrie was laughing as she kept filming it, and adjusted Joseph's costume, as he began losing his hat. He chose to be the ranger/Robin Hood because he wanted to wear a hat like he wished.
And Sarah, unlike her sister, wanted to be the greatest bard of them all.
All three of them went on you into a hug to try and change you.
You smiled as you just accepted your fate, and the evil king was defeated.
-----------------------------------
You tucked them into bed as you stood next to Carrie. "You know, I missed this." You said.
"The Kids tackling you?" She asked.
"No just being able to have a fun time. No worries."
"You just want to be able to ignore the dread of having to leave for a few months."
You huffed. "The last time I did this, I-"
"This time, you're doing it because Mike and George asked you, and it's not like you will be gone for too long." She said. "Promise."
"Promise."
Then she kissed you. You didn't need to say it this time.
Reward: You played the evil king to your children, and they enjoyed that.
-----------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Hanging out with the Friends: It's been far to long since you, John, and Robin hung out, so you will go out for some drinks and have some fun. DC: 45 Rolled:
D100 => 19
Not that you didn't mind having them over, but John and Robin just had dinner before they left, because they did not want to get involved with the playing time with the kids.
Traitors.
Failure.
-------------------------------------------------------
-[X]A Charitable Heart: You want to invest your newfound wealth. Maybe even save some lives while you are at it. (Linetail what you wish to invest in below this action, and the amount of money you want to donate in)
--[X] $30 Million. You want to fund efforts to help in the conservation of the Pyrenean Ibex. Rolled:
D100 => 97
You don't know what exactly you will be doing, but you did several videos, some PSA's, and other things.
You don't know if it did things… actively, but you were…
Happy with it.
Reward: Unknown Effect.
-------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Pray: It had been a long time since you went to Mass. You wish for the Lord to give you strength. DC: ???
--[X] Pray for Gavin and his wife Susan that they're able to conceive and have a child. Rolled:
D100 => 81+20=101
You don't know if He was listening. But you know that there was His love all the same.
And then you heard the news. And all was right.
Reward: Maybe your prayers were answered… maybe they were not. But He works in mysterious ways.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Do auditions(Movies and TV Shows): You are going to go to some of the casting calls that are in the place where you can find work in. DC: 20(Possibility of only getting a commercial or TV show job, or extra work in a low-budget film) Rolled:
D100 => 83
So it seems that TV was back on the menu. And really, it seems that they wanted you to be a main stay on television.
(The Beginning of next turn will have the choices)
------------------------------------------------
-[X]Workout: A Healthy Mind and a Healthy Body are Key to having a good life, and you have been slacking as of late. Time to hit the workout and discipline, and perhaps, see things differently. DC: 30 Reward: You work out and feel better. Rolled:
D100 + 30 => 119
It had been months since you really went all out on your exercises, and it hurt.
Your arms hurt, your legs hurt.
Everywhere hurt.
But you were satisfied because when it was all over, you could hear Carrie purr at you when she saw you coming out of the shower.
She enjoyed what she saw.
And you were satisfied that you could still look like an adonis
