Sp:
D100 + 50 => 150
You really wanted to say something funny but it was a little too emotional than that. You honestly didn't know how to feel on the set. Everyone was a stranger wearing a familiar face.
They knew and celebrated your work, and that of the show, everyone was happy and great to be around. They congratulated you and Carrie for both having a good life and for the kids on the way.
But in the series, everyone felt the same way.
The Script was tight, and the script was honestly the best you had ever read. Detailing some of the misadventures, even telling everyone Radar was getting a medal and that was why he was being sent home.
There were many things that everyone wondered about, with Alan deciding to make a joke that Radar was dating some movie starlet like Debbie Reynolds, who was paying all the right people to get him back.
That joke hit harder when Carrie laughed about several things when she came on set one day because Mary was unhappy and wanted to see her daddy, and how good you looked in fatigues again, and the set photos you allowed them to have.
But it was nice.
And you knew that the episode was where you gave it your best.
And you knew the rest were going to see it that way.
Reward: You gave it your best. And that was all everyone expected.
+100,000 Dollars.

D100 + 40 => 116
As you cooked her breakfast, all you could do was look at Carrie as she sat at the table, waiting for you to serve her. "You're staring again." She stated, giving a flick of her wrists. "And the pancakes are burning."
"They are not." You said as you flipped them, proving that they were not. "And I'm not staring, you are?"
"Oh don't make this about me?" She said. "You won't win that fight."
You flipped the pancake you cooked onto one of the waiting plates. "Maybe it's not about winning, but not losing the fight?" your smile made her laugh.
"Oh come on, I'm too pregnant to do anything fun like that." She said as she sighed.
"Then what does my beautiful wife want to do today?" You asked.
Carrie then looked at the pancakes you made her, and then towards Mary's room. "How about a single day where we do nothing? No TV, no books, just us."
"As my queen commands." You said. "Mary, breakfast!"
Mary ran out of her room, and following her were Ginger and Natalie. And all was right in the world.

You took a breath. "Where are you at?"
"At the gate." Brian said.
"That was one time, I'm not letting you guys record in my-"
"Um, we got kicked out of our hotel…" Brian said. "But it wasn't our fault."
You raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"We were" Brian paused. "Yeah I know, but. Alright, I'll tell him." He paused again. "Freddie wanted to see you. And we honestly haven't seen you in years. We just wanted to come over."
You groaned. "You could have started with that. Also no smoking, Mary is here today and I am not-"
"Yeah yeah, see you soon." Brian hung up the phone and you sighed. "Carrie, we're going to have guests."
"Oh is it Freddie and the gang?" She said.

"Not really, I just tagged along." He said with a smile. "How's Mary?"

Freddie shook his head. "Well, we were in town, and wanted to see you."
"We are not having a jam session." You said.
Mike rolled his eyes and looked towards Queen. "Told you."
John shook his head. "But it was so fun."
"Yeah, but I have my daughter here, and no offense, the lyrics we sing aren't exactly child-friendly."
There was silence. "Come on guys, are you in trouble or something."
Freddie sighed. "Come on, we'll tell him. Our production company screwed us out all of our money."
Mike then raised an eyebrow. "Don't you mean record company?"
"No, Production company." Roger said.
Mike was incensed. "Are you guys idiots? Why did you sign with a production company, and not sign directly with a label?"
"Yeah, so we're looking for some good lawyers to get our songs back."
You raised an eyebrow. "Who are you attacking, and how much do you need?"
There was silence. "Wait you are not mad?" Freddie asked.
"I broke up the Beatles for less." You laughed. "So let's mobilize."

D100 => 17
"You know what," Mike said as he looked at you as he sat down. "I realized something working with Steve."
"That's he is insanely talented?" You asked.
"No not that, I knew that the moment he pissed off Sid enough to try to get him to come back to Universal with that contract bullshit." He smiled. "It's that you all pretty much just trust each other to make the movies you want, and hope that other people will see it."
"Sometimes you gotta have faith." You said with a smile, as you held up a beer. "What about you, still think we're the misfits of the world?"
Mike laughed. "That won't change till you're old and gray and you have more money than sense." He then sighed. "Honestly, I almost told George not to hire me back for another five years. I thought I could just go someplace else, expand my horizons... see something new."
"Like Disney?"
"I'd have run those bastards to a new golden age." He laughed. "But seriously, I think what made me change my mind, was your pure faith in others. in what they do."
"Something tells me George gave you a lot of money to stay."
"One percent of the merchandise sales for the next five years, in addition to other fun things." He smiled. "But... it may be about the money for me, it isn't for you. You all are building something that will outlast you. And honestly, I'm glad to be along for the ride."
Reward: Mike is on for another five years. He was given money yes... but he truly has become something far more than just the President of all of Lucasfilms.
He felt a part of this band of misfits.
And most of everyone agreed that he was too.
Not bad for a bean counter from Paramount and CBS.

D100 => 75
"What dark Magic have you two done now?" Those were the words that Mike Eisner said to the team as they gathered for the Premeeting for the Action Plan.
And it was entirely because of two men. Well, three if you counted Lawrence, but he didn't work here. Steve and George were happy. That much was certain. Extremely happy.
Almost enough to forget 1941.
"So talk to us guys, what's so funny?" You asked.
"We have something called Indiana Jones and it's going to be the best adventure movie of all time." Steve said with a smile.
You frowned at that. "Conan's the best adventure film ever."
Steve frowned. "Okay, the best original adventure Film."
George smiled. "The thing is, Star Wars is going to be released, and Lawrence is too busy right now to not help me write it. So we need to kill some time."
It was John's turn to speak, and you were so glad to have John back in the building after several months of him in a mental health facility. "Can we get a crack at it?"
That's when Steve shook his head. "Sorry, but no. We made this character right after Star Wars and uh, we want the films."
"Shit," Dave said with a swear. "That sounds cool."
"Go work on Cyberpunk you glutton." Robert shot at Dave. There was no hostility between them… but there was the playful banter of several talented people happily knowing their strengths.
Mike looked at Steve and George. "I can look at the schedule and-"
"Mike if you try to stop us, I'm firing you." George said, deathly serious.
Mike realized he was beaten. "Alright. Gonna need to take that into account."
Reward: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark will be produced in 1980. George and Steve will not be available to assign on the next action plan turn.
Do not attempt to do the budget there, George is paying for it entirely out of his pocket.

You smiled. "You want to watch a movie?"
"Yeah, movie with daddy."
You looked around. "Well, we have Star Wars." You started. Everything else wasn't for kids.
"Movie with daddy!" She said.
You took a breath. "How about this, on your birthday, we'll see a new movie I and Gorge have been working on. You'll be the first to see it, okay?"
Reward: Mary wants to see a new movie… though you don't have any pictures with you in it for kids besides Star Wars… and honestly letting her see Empire won't be too traumatizing. Despite it pushing the envelope.

Try to help the Romanian refugees as best as you can so that no matter how the war ends, they will have some peace and refuge. Rolled:
D100 => 61
It was honestly easier than expected, what with most humanitarian organizations helping out in the whole thing.
Dad also got you into contact with several Romanian government officials and they were… more than happy to relocate all those people who needed your help.
And as a final fuck you to Jerry Brown, you helped move over 100,000 people to California, and many of those refugees were families that had people with the skills to help California's economy. Just to show him that no, people who you helped were not dredges on society, but people whose whole lives were uprooted and needed security.

-[X]Networking: Well time to start finding out who might actually be interested in meeting you. (Write-in what you want to try and network with)
--[X] Dino De Laurentiis. The Flash Gordon films are what caused you to connect with George Lucas and they're what inspired George to create Star Wars. You owe a great debt to Flash Gordon due to all the positive butterflies that came with it, and supporting the film would also help Queen since they made the soundtrack. Connect with Dino and try to secure Lucasfilms as Flash Gordon's distributors. If nothing else, it would make for an excellent early Christmas gift for George. Rolled:
D100 => 46
It was Freddie who introduced you to Dino and the man basically shook your hands and asked you for help to get his film released.
And you agreed. And told him that you were not going to take a single dime in profit.

Reward: Flash Gordon… has a distributor. You.
AN: enjoy.
