Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
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.

--[X]The Kung Fu Kid

Okay so this plan is half meeting our social needs and half business and taking advantage of our newfound wealth. In terms of directing, I'm fine with Ridley Scott's vision as it seems to make for a pretty decent character and I'd like to start off on strong terms with Ridley Scott considering he's a powerhouse Director and it would be good to work with other greats not named George. For investments we give back to our parents as all good sons shall do, giving them plenty of money to renovate the bar and settle personal affairs. Vacation with George to help grow the friendship and because it's something nice to reciprocate. Carrie because Carrie always comes first. John needs help and let's not delay like the first time. A lot of people wanted us to help Vietnam veterans, so with the wounds so fresh Bruce should set out to do that and hopefully ease the transition for thousands of soldiers. Get back into the ring and score some Ws. Take care of the building, and of course write Kung Fu Kid to help cope with the loss.

@Kaiser Chris Might I suggest that instead of the boxing match, we do something like Pray or Call our Parents in order to give some comfort to Bruce with Bruce Lee's passing.

I guess I could, but on the topic of Bruce's mental state, there didn't seem to be any indication from the update that he would be any worse than your average person in a state of grief and considering early Omake rewards and Bruce's strong support group, I would have thought he could handle it okay and pour out his emotions into Kung Fu Kid. Also for parents, I was kind of aiming for the interaction to happen with the investment so we have something wholesome where Bruce shows his love and appreciation for all they did raising him by helping with the business.
 
Also: I have a very interesting...

prompt for all yall.

I want someone to write a few news paper headlines and reactions, if you can.

Or I'll do it myself.

But I'd rather not due to next turn being the release of MASH, and Ed Woods Mystery Theater

What is the subject going to be about? Also could we get an updated Reputation sheet and assets (With MASH residuals, winnings and apartment income in addition to Graffiti money) to help plan for the future since Bruce has changed A LOT professionally since they were made.

Mostly about our sudden and ambitious rise to reputation as a big leauger in Hollywood, if not well liked.

And maybe our hobbies as a boxer as well.

And I'm going to update them as their own updates later tonight.
To what, precisely?
