Turn 101 Results (November-December 1982)
-[X]Resiviour Dogs: Quinton has earned a film and he made it well. Now let's see what this kid can do. DC: 30 Rolled: D100 => 97+20=117
Quentin may have just become one of the hottest directors in Hollywood. Mostly because he has decided to break every convention that one thought was possible in Hollywood.
And it was in the best way possible.
(Continued in: Resiviour Dogs)
---------------------------------------------------------
-[X]The House of Ideas: Stan Lee and the boys and girls at Marvel are… Well they have some ideas and you are just going to be giving a nod and a wave because that was all you want to do. Also a new guy named Akira… wanted to take pictures of you sparring and training as reference photos. DC: ??? Rolled:D100 => 13
Well, you had hoped to do it, but Stan Lee actually had to go to Japan. For what reason you did not know, but something about him needing to buy out something that Akira needed.
So… crap. You were actually quite excited about that.
Failure
------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Mary's Escapades: You want to know just what Mary does whenever she sneaks out and visits Mike. DC: ??? Rolled:D100 => 4
Mary and Mike did not say a damn thing, and it was worrying for you for a minute, as you thought Mike was doing something you would not approve of.
Then you saw the blueprints in his office that no one had ever seen before, and you were ushered out by your daughter. Saying "They are not ready!"
Failure.
------------------------------------------
-[X]An Early Christmas party: Mike is busy in December, and wants to have the party early. You agreed. Mostly because the next action plan might kill him. DC: 0 Rolled:D100 => 79
The party was something of a subdued little thing, all things considered.
The festive spirit of the Christmas/Thanksgiving party had led to…
Other things. Really everyone had decided to go home for the next few days, leaving the office rather bare for celebration.
Especially Quinton who had taken his friends and production staff out to some incredible parties.
In fact, the only people here in the building were George, Mike, and you.
All three of you looked at each other as you sat on the roof, looking at what you built.
"You know when I was hoping for things to change when we started this up… I wasn't expecting this." George said as he looked at Mike and you, both sitting on the chairs you brought up to the roof.
Mike only let out a gruff curt sound. "And you two would have blown all your money without me."
You frowned. "That's unfair Mike." you said.
"I may be a money-grubbing asshole to the rest of the world, but tell me with a straight face that you two wouldn't have decided to do something insane for charity, or blow it all on trying to change what we can do for cinema."
At that, both of you remained silent. Then Mike laughed. "Well I can't say I blame you, you two took a risk, with this, and with me, and you enjoyed the fruits of your labor in a way that no one has ever really seen before. You change Hollywood… fuck you changed the world, in a way that I'm proud to be a part of."
"The fact you make tens of millions a year also doesn't hurt." George said.
"That too…" He then raised his glass. "To Lucasfilms Unlimited. To another year of crazy non-stop insanity."
"And to push the boundaries of what is possible." You replied.
Reward: It wasn't a party, but it was enough.
------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]The New Blood: So... Who wants to work for Lucasfilms? DC:???
--[X]Director Rolled:D100 => 62
Who is hired:D20 => 17
Well Damn, you looked at the two men. "Joel Coen? And Ethan?"
"Yeah." They said.
"Okay, why are you here, besides the obvious."
"You told Sam he couldn't make our script, and that took balls."
"Mike was the one, but you are correct. It was a bad script. One that would have derailed his career."
"And that's why we're here. We wanna thank you."
Oh. "And you want to work for me?"
"Yeah, who the hell wouldn't."
Reward: Joel and Ethan Coen are now directors and writers within the writing room, and can be used. Only together, however.
----------------------------------------------------
-[X]The USFL: Carrie has another sports team under her belt, and she and the USFL are finally releasing their press statements. So let's see how you will do it. Also, Carrie said you needed to be there for a reason that would be amazing. DC: 40/??? Rolled:D100 => 100
Carrie, what the hell is wrong with you. You were going to have a nice day and now you were here.
Also, why is Donald here!? Dad said he was nothing but a crook and a poor excuse of a new yorker.
(Continued in: A New United States Football Leauge)
----------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Castles in the Sky: Mary says her rocket designs are ready. So she wants you to help her deliver it. DC:10/??/??? Rolled:D100 => 99
Mary smiled. "THEY ARE READY!"
And you think that she is going to change everything.
Then you saw the boxes that were there… and all of them were to be delivered to NASA.
(Continued in: Space Racing, for Children)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[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 => 12
As you looked at the family, you were just happy that they were happy.
Mary had been happy with the news of her awesomeness, as she claimed, and it was funny to see that she was about to have some crazy adventure again.
Then Joseph was glued to another sport that he had become incredibly obsessed with. That of the the Gridiron. Football. He had been enamored by it since Carrie had begun to watch tape and read about it and it has become something of a fun thing to see him play with other balls. And he wanted to play… with anyone, especially you, which was something you were struggling to find time with because honestly, as much as you wanted to try and balance everything.
It was starting to get hard.
And Sarah had discovered, much to your horror, Disney Coloring books.
And she had decided to use them to start drawing other things in her own way, and it was honestly… adorable. Even if it was using Disney.
Damn Cat, she was going to win Aunt of the Year.
And Carrie was smiling as you were in charge of cooking tonight.
Reward: A nice fun evening.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-[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 => 75
You were trying your best to not laugh at everything. "Come on John, tell us?"
"Screw you, Bruce." He said. "Let's talk about work instead."
Robin then began laughing. "Oh boy, struck a nerve, it's not like me and Valerie don't have any bumps… speaking of bumps, Bruce, I am going to have a son and I need you to be the godfather!"
"Wait what? Congratulations!" You said, "When?"
"Don't know yet, don't care, do I have you!" He said.
"Yeah, but why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"You were in Monaco, and you know how much bullshit me and John sometimes get up to?!" He smiled.
"Oh god." You facepalmed. "What did you do?"
"Well you know Mary has always been a fun person, and she draws so much crazy sauce I don't understand, but what I do know, is that Debbie might have chased us out with a broom when we hopped the fence."
You groaned. "God dammit."
"What you asked, and thankfully, she didn't hit me too hard. John on the other hand-"
"That lady is crazy." He replied.
"Wait didn't I give you the key to my house, so you didn't need to hop the fence?" You asked.
John then realized something. "Robin you bastard!"
The two then began to scuffle.
You were missing something but decided to just enjoy your drink instead. Let those two vent their frustrations.
Reward: You have a good time with your friends. Though they have had antics that you didn't know about.
-------------------------------------
-[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] Giving Out Turkey [$50 Million]: With Thanksgiving right around the corner, you want to make sure that any struggling families will be able to afford to celebrate the holiday by donating turkeys through your organization, FEAST, for any family who needs it. Rolled:D100 => 92
To think that it was the last minute idea, but there was going to be a problem. The stores already had it…
So you just went to some of the big retailers and offered them a lot of money for them to… Donate, while you cover the costs.
After realizing that they had a surplus, they decided that instead of facing through the goose… they did their best to deliver a great turkey.
Reward: You have maybe intimidated people to do some good.
Even if you paid them lots of money.
-------------------------------------
-[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] Bob Clark. Bob Clark is trying to create a film called "A Christmas Story" about a boy and his family's misadventures in 1940's America. It kind of reminds you a lot of Dad's Christmas stories and Lucasfilms needs more holiday movies. Contact Bob and see if you can make it a Lucasfilms production. Rolled:D100 => 11
Bob said no, mostly because he was looking for other offers first. He thought he had a good idea, but…
Well, he wanted to test his options. Mostly because there is a director he wants to hire, but he doesn't know if he can have
Failure.
---------------------------------------------------------
-[X] While you're in New York to see Marvel, turn it into a Thanksgiving family vacation to spend the holiday with your parents and see the Macy Parade. Rolled:D100 => 86
To say the parade was a highlight of any New yorkers year was an understatement, and it was the beginning of the holiday season.
The fact it was a wonderful parade with wonderful floats was absolutely the best, especially Snoopy, the kids favorite… though near the end, it was clear that they were getting very tired and overwhelmed by the people. And when it was over, you had to carry all three in your arms to get back to the Whale to let them sleep.
Reward: You had a wonderful time at the parade, but the kids are getting tired from it, and you had to carry them home.
-[X] Do auditions(Movies and TV Shows): You are going to go to some of the casting calls that are in the place where you can find work in. DC: 20(Possibility of only getting a commercial or TV show job, or extra work in a low-budget film) Rolled:D100 => 97
So… It seems, once you put yourself out there, every single person in god damn Hollywood was after you… Because Bruce O'Brian being in it, meant people watched it.
(Continued in: Good God, they put that kind of effort for you?)
-[X]Resiviour Dogs: Quinton has earned a film and he made it well. Now let's see what this kid can do. DC: 30 Rolled: D100 => 97+20=117
