Turn 97 Results (June-July 1982)
-[X]Don't make it: You will put your foot down. Hopefully, he understands. But this is a step too far for you.
--[X] Tell Mike you personally love the film, but you need to run this by George first since Star Wars is his creation and as such it's only right he gets the final say. First chance you get, you'll meet with George to get approval for this movie to be made as well as to verify his stance on others creating Star Wars media.
Mikes Reaction:
D100 => 89
Mike almost seemed to let go of something on his chest, and say something to you, in fact, you almost thought that he was…
But instead, he just remained silent, as if he decided that instead of saying anything, he was going to be saying nothing.
Reward: Mike seems to be okay. You think.

-[X]The FCC is Coming: so you need to give the FCC more stuff to promise for them, and make sure you don't do something silly like… not pay them and gather a library of shows that will come next year. DC: 0 Rolled:
D100 => 77
Well, let's make some more shows and hope the FCC won't just decide to cancel them.
(Continued in: The FCC Are coming once again)

-[X]And a Day For the Mouse: Roy Disney has called you for a simple business meeting. At Disney land. With the family. Cat even brought her family. He was going to use that card on you. Rolled:
D100 => 26
It was crowded here in Disneyland. That much was certain, and Joseph and Sarah were very much not enjoying the large amount of people, being overwhelmed by it. Meanwhile, Mary was trying to go onto the Matterhorn, only to be dismayed when she was far to small to ride it on her own.
But as you waited, Roy Disney was rather patient, watching his own family run around and happily smile as he stood by you. Cat was wrangling her own family, and Carrie was chatting away. "Quite a thing, isn't it? Walts dream." He said as you both watched them continue towards another ride. "Dream for a happy place where the family can be… together."
You sighed. "Yeah. But it isn't only the reason we're here. If it were, I'd be with them, riding more rides, than both of us talking here."
"True, but can't you enjoy it?"
You wanted to, but you were too tired from Star Wars to really do it. "I'll try."
At that, there was a laugh. "I'll be blunt. There are things that we want to do, but can't. Simple things that are impossible to do because I have people trying to tell me what do. What we should do. I envy that about you and George. You're not beholden to that kind of pressure."
"That can lead to it's own problems." You replied. "But I think that we both know that there are things you want to ask."
'When will you release Star Wars." He said.
There it was. "Not for a long time Roy." You replied, as you both stood and saw the families, both of them, waving for you to join them. "I promise that. George wants it to change the world."
There was a chuckle. "Change the world huh." He than smiled. "Yeah, I believe that."
Reward: You and Roy have a small meet, and nothing really happens, besides a few things.
------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]A Simple Meeting: Alan is Back, and he's happy at what he is about to tell you. "So see the movie Wonder Woman? You'll enjoy it." DC: ??? Rolled:
D100 => 34
You and Alan both just looked at each other, and it was not funny any more. Alan the Gambler was at work, and all he wanted to do was proclaim victory, for his ally was going to be in awe.
But you were not impressed.
"I mean, I don't care, as much as I enjoy your success Alan, I just want to spend some time with my family, and I am here for the courtesy to let you know it."
Alan was not upset. "You know what I'm going to ask then?"
"Another Batman film?"
"Better." He said. "Justice Leauge. Once everyone gets their film, we bring them together, and who better than the greatest action director."
You almost just left. "Alan, I've got nothing against that plan, but I'm exhausted from the last few weeks, I just need time to decompress. And not feel like hell."
"Just letting you know what I am planning."
"And if I don't want to?" you asked.
"I'll find someone who can." He said.
Reward: Alan told you some of his plans.
--------------------------------------------
-[X]The Kung Fu Kid: Well Brandon, let's see how you do kid. First step in a wider world. DC: 40 Rolled:
D100 => 94+20=114
Damn. You thought that everything was going to be… good.
You did not expect Brandon to become a Superstar overnight.
(Continued in The Kung Fu Kid)

-[X]The New Blood: So... Who wants to work for Lucasfilms? DC:???
--[X]Director Rolled:
D100 => 23
Much as you wanted to hire someone, you had to put them away, because all of them wanted what you could only describe as…
50 million dollar movies for their crazy ideas, the full resources of ILM, and of course, you to star in the movie.
They were asking far too much for things that were too little a reward. You were also not going to be going to anywhere for a few months, not until you and Carrie had quality time together.
Failure.
--------
--[X]Producer Rolled:
D100 =>13
But the same could not be said for the producers either.
Seems everyone wanted to work on a Star Wars movie, and since George didn't have any thing to say, and you didn't know what he wanted… you just…
Shooed them off.
George will make up his mind.
Hopefully.
Failure.
----------------------------------------------
-[X]Carrie Has a great Idea: Wearing that outfit was going to drive you insane, but than she whispered in your ear and all you can think about is what you want to do tonight. Welp, she wants another gosling, and she'll get it. DC:??? Rolled:
D100 + 40 => 140
You honestly didn't know just what had gotten into Carrie.
But you were not complaining.
(Continued in: Carrie has a Great idea)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]A Post Movie Day: Debbie is happy you and Carrie are back, and now she is going to give a brief summary of the Kid's shenanigans. DC: 30 Rolled:
D100 => 68
As you prepared to listen, you could only think about several things, and the fear that you were going to once again, miss several key moments in your children's lives.
Except as Debbie reports, it was not the case. "Besides some drawings that Mary drew and sent to ILM, and Wally Calling daily to talk to Mary, there was really nothing to report. Sarah and Joseph were simply… well being rowdy and rambunctious, but not really doing anything crazy."
You sighed and you nodded. "Thank you Debbie."
"Oh don't go thinking about thanking me, those kids are darlings to me." She smiled.
Wait what? They raised hell when they were around you.
Reward: thankfully, nothing insane happened while you were gone. Though they were, little angels to him.
-------------------------------------
-[X]The Family Time: You need a night out with the family dammit! No more drama, no more work, just you and Carrie and the Kids! Rolled:
D100 => 33
It was honestly just a good thing that you decided to have a simple family dinner after everything that happened, and the filming.
Because honestly, it was perfect.
Carrie was happy to be back home and with the kids, eyeing you like the hunk of meat you were to her.
And Mary was excited and babbling about how she made another robot with you think it was Shinji… or was it Shoji, she wasn't good at speaking Japanese yet.
And Joseph continued to be a fish by swimming, though at the dinner table, he was just making faces and bubble sound for Sarah.
Poor Sarah was just reading some comics and Sunday morning newspaper strips that she was collecting.
But above all… everyone was together.
And that was enough.
Reward: You and the family have a wonderful time.
-------------------------------------------------
-[X]Hanging out with the Friends: It's been far to long since you, John, and Robin hung out, so you will go out for some drinks and have some fun. DC: 45 Rolled:
D100 => 73
John and Robin were both smiling as you sat down in Robins's apartment. "You know, I'm starting to get jealous."
"Of what my friend?" You asked as you sat down at the table.
Robin then said. "The fact you two fuck like rabbits and are in a relationship most people would kill for."
You frowned. "Robin."
"It's true." He said.
John for his part was very… quiet, for a moment at least, drinking. "Yeah, but hey, it could be worse. Someone else could have fucked it all up."
"What does that mean?" You asked.
"I mean, if you or Carrie were unlucky in love and god forbid that you never married, I think both of you would be unhappy and not in the position that you are in now."
"And what does that have to do with anything?" You asked.
"We're jealous of it." John finally said.
"You guys will get your chance at love, and family, just have to find the right person." You said.
"Easy for you to say, you found the right one." Robin said.
"Well it will come, I think, you two both got that chance."
Reward: You and John and Robin talk.
-------------------------------------------------------
-[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] Dean Pitchford. Ron Howard recently brought to your attention a film that's being used as hot potato by Hollywood called Footloose. A story about a big city kid moving to a small town that has banned dancing and his fight against the establishment. Sounds like a fun teen film and Lucasfilms could always do with more musicals. Rolled:
D100 => 48
--[X] Robert Benton. Robert currently has an interesting movie he's directing and written about a family in Great Depression era Texas called Places in the Heart. Lucasfilms is always in need of more movies and this could be a nice add in drama. Rolled:
D100 => 78
Both men seemed to be in agreement and they have practically…
Lept at the chance to make such movies.
Reward: Both movies will be made under the Lucasfilm Banner.
--------------------------------------
-[X] Call your parents: You need to call mom and dad, see how they are doing? Rolled:
D100 => 1
Mom and Dad didn't answer, though the receiver just went to a recorder.
Well, anywho.
You are sure they are fine.
Failure?: They didn't answer. Though you are sure they are alright.
