Failure.

--[X] Buy Rights to Dune book from the French consortium led by Jean-Paul Gibon. $1,000,000 Rolled:
D100 => 70
It was really as simple as paying the man and telling him to fuck off. French bastard, he was not so happy to see the rights part from him, but what was he going to do with them?
Sit on it till he gets a better offer?
Well you have it now, so you are happy.
Reward: You have the rights to Dune, and the future Sequals… You think, there is some legal grey area that Mike and the Lawyers will have to work on.
---------------------------------------
-[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] Turkey and Toys [$25 Million]: With Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, you want to make sure that any struggling families will be able to afford to celebrate either holiday by donating turkeys and toys for any family who needs it. Rolled:
D100 => 82
It was one of the largest events you ever did. And one you think would echo through your own life as you decided that the best way to feel good was in charity.
It began, one night, with taking calls, and asking questions, or asking their friends to tell them a gift was on the way. Now there was no way of knowing if everyone was in need, or was struggling, but you decided that it was no need to be picky. So you fed everyone you could.
And you did it for over 1 million people in California that left you cards… And over 10 million all over the country. Mostly in the South, in African American communities, which surprised you quite a bit. You thought that they didn't like you that much with some of their leadership despising you as another "Rich White Man, praying on our young for money."
You could see that some people said you were just being a prideful fool who was that? But almost everyone else…
They cried, being able to have a true meal, a true family moment that you shared with your own.
Some called you a saint, those that believed anyway. Most called you a good man.
And you felt good.
Yet the thing you decided to make things better was to use Georges Contacts in Kenner and the toy industry… And well… got toys for millions of children, quite a few star wars toys among them.
It made Mike as mad as hell, but after the numbers he saw, he decided that making you angry by protesting your charity… would be a bad idea.
Reward: You have somehow fed millions of people for the holidays. That was not a surprise.
What surprised you was the toys you managed to get for those millions of kids for Christmas.
Something told you that you've made many friends everywhere in America.
(Also meanwhile with the Political Parties: HOLY FUCK GET THIS MAN REGISTERED TO OUR PARTY, HE CAN SWING THE ELECTIONS IN OUR FAVOR!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Action Directing: It seems the town has been talking about how much of a beast you are at just being a stunt person. In fact, they knew you were a student of Bruce Lee. And they think you know how to stage and block a fight? Maybe you can DC? ??? Rolled:
D100 => 20+10=30
You decided to take a small vacation from acting to directing.
And honestly, the action that Hollywood is cranking out is frankly appalling.
Where was the attempt, the stuntmen, the risks? Everything was just too bloody sanitized and that wasn't good enough.
Reward: you have learned the state of Hollywood action.
And it is not well.
+20,000 dollars.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Pray: It had been a long time since you went to Mass. You wish for the Lord to give you strength. DC: ???
--[X] Go to Christmas Vigil Mass Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 102
When you were little, back before everything got complicated for your own faith. You remembered Christmas vigil mass as something of a borning festival, capped off by some wonderful food.
This time, it was a great and wonderful time for you to contemplate your life. Your future in it, and your place in it.
And honestly, it was almost impossible to really think, so instead you prayed.
You put yourself into the shoes of others. And offered yourself as a humble servant.
Maybe you would be rewarded.
And you think you were.
Reward: Unknown Effect. But a statement about helpfulness is true.
(Also remember Warners Corpse… well you get it as a free thing during the interludes.)
And another event at the beginning of the next turn will start you off.
--------------------------------------------------
-[X] Calling You're Parents: You are going to call your parents and see what they want. DC: 10 Rolled:
D100 => 98
Your mom was happy to answer your call. "You know Bruce, we owe you quite a bit, we're going to be able to go to Mass this new year and bring everyone something great."
"Um." You paused, unsure what to say. "Was the"
"Yes, the film idea was a success." She replied. "So please, please, don't stop making them, because right now, I'm thinking that we might be able to do something fun for renovation."
"Like?" You asked.
"We are thinking about putting in a movie theater and charging tickets for some of your films sometimes." She said. "All in our pocket because we made so much money from the event."
"Um, okay."
You really should have thought your idea through.
Reward: You may have inadvertently started another round of renovations on the bar… again.
AN: Enjoy the Magoose Dice.
