waco_jimJim looks at the now-wrinkled sheet of paper Mr. Brooks gave him.
Okay, who wants a speaking part in a big Hollywood production? Well, tough - none of you have got SAG cards. But there's still a way you can get involved with the production!
See, the other scriptwriters and I have come upon a great idea for a third act - one that involves the construction of a fake Western town set in the middle of the desert, followed by a huge fight scene. The townspeople are going to build it in order to trap the bad guys and set up a big action comedy setpiece. Trust me, it'll be terrific.
There’s just one problem - they’re all actors. They haven’t done an honest day’s work in their lives. If we leave it to them, it’ll never get done. We could hire some carpenters, but let me tell you - union carpentry ain't cheap. We'll never get it done on budget and the studio will have my ass.
There's only one thing that can get this set built on time: non-union labor! You’ll probably get paid at least minimum wage (though I'm not making any guarantees). If you do really well, you might even get to be an extra in the big fight scene tomorrow. (Again, no guarantees).
Talk toGene Jim if you need more information.

P.S. Remember to keep quiet about this, because this technically isn’t legal!
Jim sighs, crumples the note, and throws it in the trash. This won't do - too many people won't understand it. He picks up a pen and starts to work.
So here’s how it is...there's a small town out on my side of the door that's in big trouble right now. A railroad baron named Hedley Lamarr wants to build his tracks through where the town is right now, but to do that, he’s gotta bulldoze the whole place. Long story short, his Plan A failed, then his Plan B failed and now he's onto Plan C: sending the biggest collection of thugs, felons, and drugged up freaks outside of an NFL roster to burn the place down.
We've got a plan, but it involves a lot of preparation and construction. We haven't got a whole lot of time or manpower to carry it out, so we need people who can do carpentry (a LOT of carpentry) and/or fight, or we'll be eating out of Hedley's crotch tomorrow.
Talk to me if you need some more details. I'm the cowboy with the curly hair next to the bottle of Johnnie Walker.

Jim smiles. Much better. And he can always include the whole fictionality thing as one of the "important details." He tacks up the note and returns to his usual place at the bar.
OOC: So yeah - pretty much what Jim said. If your pup is interested, he/she can write a little "I'm in" message on the bulletin board, or they can talk to Jim at the bar. Either way, do it below this post.
