    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.

    What was it that Arnold said before he immigrated to America? Something along the lines of "I'll be a Movie Star, I'll be a Senator, and I'll marry a Kennedy"?

    I wonder about the stuff Bruce said before he left New York...but rest assured, we'll likely beat Arnold at least two of those things; all three, if there's a Kennedy in the family tree.

    Funnily enough, if we take my headcanon that Bruce is a part of the Ui Brian dynasty then he would actually be related to the Kennedys.

    Source: Famous Descendants of Brian Boru

    The Irish name Kennedy originated from Mac Cennétig (Kennedy) members of the Dál gCais. The name Kennedy came from the old meaning "helmet head". The coat of Arms of the Kennedy clan has three helmets on its shield. They are descended from Dunchaun, who was the brother of the Great High King Brian Boru. In the 11th to the 15th centuries, the Kennedys were Lords of Ormond. There are several versions of how the Kennedys got started, but when one goes in and examines things, what turns out is that the origins of the Kennedys to Ireland are very clear.
     
    NOICE. We continue to make Bruce the Chad of Chads, or I guess the Bruce of Bruces in TTL's meme culture, and we represent America strong at the Olympics while overall just kicking ass and having a good life. Amazing turn of strong definitive successes and barring going up against Ivan Drago himself, we're looking to take home the gold.

    -[X] The Friendship and Brotherhood of George Lucas: George wants to hang out and have fun. DC: 30 Rolled:D100 => 86

    George was sitting at the beach, as you looked at the sunset, the sun going down, and you were feeling all sorts of struggles in your mind. "So… What now?"

    "I mean, wait what?" You asked.

    "I made Star Wars, it's going to be done. What now?" He asked.

    "The sequel?" You asked. "I mean, you have written most of it… unless-"

    George just laid back. "I don't know. The production is like that… what it is now. How can I make it better? How can I surpass something like that? You've seen it."

    You shrugged. "I don't know George, but maybe do something different. You chose to make things by doing everything you did. Find that drive that made yu want to make it."

    "The problem is, I don't want to do that again." He said. "I just… want a break from being behind the chair, I wanna do more production stuff, make ILM better, you know things like that?"

    "What about the Merch?" You asked.

    "In 40 years, it will be so popular that people will hate the new stuff that I create for it." He laughed. "But really though, I might have someone else direct the next film. Maybe you?"

    You laughed. "Really me? Out of everyone you could ask in Hollywood you want me to sit behind the chair? I'm flattered, but the problem with that is, I don't know if I can?"


    George then just laughed. "I'm just throwing it out there man. Maybe we'll get that Prince of Persia movie you're going on."

    "Wait, didn't you and Steve come up with something, because didn't get that James Bond director job?"

    "Yeah, you heard about that?"

    "John said he was going to make a script for it, before he got distracted." You replied. "What was it called again?"

    "Indiana Smith or something, I can't remember," George replied. "We'll talk about it when you get back."

    Reward: The Seeds of Franchises have been planted.

    Also, George thinks that you might be the best director for the next Star Wars, even though you think you're not ready.

    Poor George, even when production goes near perfectly with everyone believing in him and producing the greatest movie of all time he's still uncomfortable enough to sit in the Director's chair. Although to be fair, if you make the GOAT as your third film and have these huge ass expectations, I can understand George wanting to focus more on ILM where he always has fun. Would love for Bruce to direct Empire, especially since a huge focus of the film is Han and Leia's romance so it would be an excellent place for him to call the shots after doing Five Dates. If the OT is a revolving chair of Directors, then I'd like for us to cape off with Spielberg directing Return of the Jedi. Hopefully George can at least direct one of the Indiana Jones.

    -[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] O'Reilly Foundation     [$20 Million] Rolled:D100 => 100
    -[X] Pray: It had been a long time since you went to Mass. You wish for the Lord to give you strength. DC: ??? Rolled: D100 => 99

    Some would say you were doing God's Work. Others would say you were just doing it to stroke your own ego. You didn't care what the naysayers said. But instead, you just kept doing what you wanted.

    You were a young man going all out in one thing.

    Charity, and the goodness of your fellow man. That would be enough. You just did some random acts of kindness. Helping some shop in trouble. Things like that.

    However, the biggest thing that you did, was just, do some help… you said that in an interview you just wanted to help people and do your best to see it done.

    Now obviously, you had no idea what that did to people…

    But it did.

    The O'Riely Foundation was self-sufficient, yes, but now it was truly working to help the veterans who were in need.

    You struck a chord with the American people in a way that most people never realized. Just having people help even when they did not think they need it.

    And you were just happy…

    Reward: A Massive societal and cultural shift has begun to occur in America. One that you did not know would happen. But unwittingly caused through your actions.

    Veterans are no longer stigmatized for their actions overseas or their traumatic experiences. Many are now seeing help or helping one another. And that made all the difference for one last thing.

    A little more unity from those who thought they did not understand. A little more understanding from unlikely sources. A Little less prejudice from those that would be enemies or rivals.

    And a little more love for their fellow man.

    People were more open to their problems, and that may make all the difference in the world.

    Nice. Even if our film career was a complete dud going forward, I'm glad we were able to at least make this change and make sure millions of men and women get the support they need going forward. Makes me wonder how military and war movies are going to be going forward. I guess we unintentionally erased Rambo from existence considering Rambo just needs some help from the O'Reilly Foundation.

    -[X] Calling You're Parents: You are going to call your parents and see what they want. DC: 10 Rolled:D100 => 72

    Dad answered the phone, but instead only told you one thing. "Son, I know what you are doing and it's rather good of you to do that. And really I don't know what else to say for you anymore, because you have exposed and become everything that we could ever hope you could be."

    "I just want you to know this though… keep a room open, I might come back for some work, once the Bar has some more employees I can trust."

    Reward: You have finally gotten your father to accept that he still wanted to Act.

    Nice to see Papa Goose still able to live out his dream. He's not too far past his prime and there should be plenty of roles for him to go for with the O'Brian last name, connections to Clint and Debbie and Five Dates as a good resume. Probably not going to have the same portfolio as Bruce and Carrie but hopefully have a decent career from here on out. Plus it looks like we got the O'Brian multi-generational acting career going. Can't wait to see what Bruce and Carrie's kids are gonna do.

    -[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] Singing: Considering the amount of effort Carrie has put into you learning how to sing, even getting her mother involved, now might be the time to pull the trigger, especially since you know that Carrie only wants to spend quality time with you, before having to share you with the whole world. Rolled:D100 => 67 (Autopass)

    Debbie was a lifesaver and just the fact she was a little gentler with the whole.

    And you learned you were a strong bass… and a good enough tenor.

    Reward: You are now a really good singer.

    That moment when Bruce's mother-in-law is a kinder teacher than his wife, lol. Which singer would you say Bruce sounds closest to Magoose? Part of me is hoping for Billy Joel so Bruce can make Uptown Girl, the song is literally perfect for him and Carrie.
     
    You know what would be funny if our presence causes us to be in the manga Record of Ragnrok because in the early planning for it there were I believe 24 fighters and one of them was babe Ruth

    @Magoose, what type of accent does Bruce have? Also is he a more rugged manly-man or a bishounen pretty boy?
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...
    I think it was brought up that his New Yorker accent has been thinning out, though when he gets angry it's Irish.

    As for looks, between I guess? I mean, considering we're likely to have him try for Heavyweight after Lightweight, he's likely getting a massive frame on him, so...Red Hood Jason Todd, is the closest appearance-wise we've been picturing.

    With our absurd success at influencing national policy, it'd be hilarious if we capped off this quest by getting elected President in our twilight years.

    I forgot it was specified that Bruce was born in New York. So he is actually able to run for President.
    Though we'll have to wait until 1989 for the age requirement.
    Maybe he could get some experience as governor of California first. Then run for President in 1996 or 2000.
     
    So guys since we're becoming the poster boy of the usa morale after losing a war and made the US have a positive morale effect how inspired will it go when we keep doing things that make everyone that hates cope and seeth
     
    I'm going to be happy when I get to finish the Olympics because oh boy…

    Oh this is going to be fun.
