OOC: First-person Writing Sample Rough
Voicemail on Robert Franklin's cell:
"Hey! Rob! You'll never guess what I found today. You know that gaming place in Chantilly? I took you there to look for Mythos corebooks-you remember, the ones with the "octopus ogre" on the covers? Cthulhu, my man, he's called Cthulhu. Well, I was in, and they had a Star Wars deck. A tarot deck, Rob, not CCG. Uh, collectible card game. I've been waiting for an official deck for years-the amateur decks are all the epitome of fail, believe me, I've looked. The art's by Drew Struzan-Struzan-hells, he did the posters. The movie posters. Okay, he did the Indy posters, that'll help you. And they've kept the Rider-Waite imagery! These aren't cheap stuff, like that craptacular Giger deck, they didn't slap some remainder cover art on some cards and go yeah, tarot, have fun, basement dwellers, the cropping isn't even on, but you're freaks and geeks, you won't give a good goddamn. I hate that deck. But this is the real deal. Leia's on the Five of Pentacles-homeless and seeking shelter, come on, remember that primer I gave you? Bells, I'll get you remembering one day. Oh, and it's not pentacles-it's systems. Sabers, systems, ships, and Force. The Force. Jabba's the Devil. Aw, look at this-Obi-wan's the Hanged Man. Original-trilogy Obi, of course. That's-and Yoda's the Hermit. Dur. . . . Are we still on for this evening? We have to be on for this evening. I have to read someone with these, and the clients will think I'm a few cards short of a deck if I whip out Jedi knights. A few cards short of a deck. I just said that. I hate puns. Do you hate puns? I hate puns. I'm punning. I should hang up. Catch you this evening. May the Force be with youuuuuuu. Love."
