-[X]The Company Clerk of Larry Linville: The Veteran TV Actor is someone you know precious little about. He thinks that the dimensions of the character he played fit well into a comedy. Maybe a pep talk might work? DC: 10 Rolled:
D100 => 16
Larry was reading one of the new drafts of the next script when he smiled. "Hey Bruce, how's it going?"
"Just wanted to talk, really nothing else." You stated as you took a breath and felt a feeling of unease. "Why did you come back?"
"Hm?" He asked. "Come back?"
"Why did you come back to the show after so much shit that happened." You stated.
Larry smiled. "Don't really rightfully know why, besides the fact that I could possibly retire with all the money you won for us. Maybe it's just because I found a challenge." There was a small laugh. "And frankly, I think that Frank Burns has the possibility to become an Incredible character. If given the chance."
There was a pause. "And I just think I can leave this show, head held high, and get a better role."
"But you'll always give it your best?" You asked.
"Of course, when I can." He stated.
Reward:
+10 to Chemistry with Linville. His SP increased by +10.

-[x]The Best of Times, and the Swift of Times: Loretta is one of the people who just work with you, and you were quiet and happy that she was not joining the others in hazing you on set. In fact, she was clearly distressed at some of the signs that others were taking things too far. Especially to a young man. DC: 20 Rolled:
D100 => 61
-[x]Work on your Comedy: This, looking at the first draft of the scripts, is a comedy series. And while you are a good actor, you know you are not good at comedy, even if your timing has gotten better. DC: 20 Rolled:
D100 => 49
All there was, was smiling, as she ruffled your hair as you took a breath having fallen asleep from a long week. "So… How's it going?" She asked.
"Feel crappy." You stated. "I can't get this as a good thing." There was silence as you pointed to the script. "How the hell am I able to make this funny?"
She looked at the script and then realized what was going on. "Ah, I see. Do you think it will come off as deadpan, or super serious?"
"Yes." You replied.
"Then use it to your advantage." She stated. "You've played Radar as a young man who is always hungry for knowledge, and very physically fit, active, driven, and eager. Use that. You don't seem to realize what you have, you just think that the script is going to fall into place and make it funny, but that relies on experience. And you have that. So lean into it a little bit."
"I'll try." You said, feeling a little more inflated.
You knew it was going to be amazing.
Reward: +5 to SP. +10 to chemistry rolls with Loretta.

-[X]Johns TV Troubles: You see some of Johns's roles and realize that Brooks was involved. Seemed he had friends as well. Or maybe he saw your success and sought to take a risk on unproven talent. DC: 10 Rolled:
D100 => 28
John was smiling with a script in hand as you saw him. "What is my apartment, a Hotel?" You said as he shut the door. His smile was infectious. "Okay, whats the script?"
"Some small part." John said.
"Hey now, no small parts, just small actors." You replied as you looked at the script. "How did you get it?"
"Interviewed for it, a producer really liked my audition." He stated with a smile as he set it down. "Said that… I reminded him of another kid that strode into town looking for work."
That made you realize who it was. "Brooks?" You asked.
"Yep, that was his name. Told him I wasn't big on insane stunt work or anything like that, but I worked hard, and knocked their socks off, and really like that."
"He also said that he was rooting for ya, and for me. Not enough talent in Hollywood that actually wants to hone their craft like we do, as he said." He took a breath, and he then offered the script. "Wanna see it?"
"Nah, I'll see it on TV." You smiled.
Reward: John got a really good part, thanks to Brooks. Seems that he has a great eye for Talent, and wishes to cultivate it as well as he can.
