Seanday Ready: Scrubs up well

I'm taking a break for a while, but just to entertain you I'm reposting some of my favourite stories -- I hope you enjoy them as well.

Sean.

---

"Ahh, sir. Nice to see you again," the shopkeeper smiled. "I assume you're here to look for something for the party?"

I bit on my lip, "Yeah last year was a really amazing."

"We have a couple of new deals," the shopkeeper looks at me thoughtfully. "As you're a regular customer."

"Tell me more," I grinned.

"Well for a standard deal, we've extended the rental to a month."

"Wow! That's generous, anything else?"

"You can purchase an identity, but it's expensive. $25k."

I sucked in my breath, "That's steep."

He smiled, "But you don't have to pay until after you've accepted your new identity."

The wheels in my head started to turn. If I became a millionaire, $25k would only be a drop in an ocean. "I like that idea. Show me what you have on offer."

"Sure," the shopkeeper pulled out a binder and flipped through some pages. He turned the book around, "have a look through these see if there's anything that interests you."
I started to look at the pictures, considering each one.



1. Kyle
Kyle is fitness model, he's just earned a contract with a supplements supplier. This could be the start of something big.



2. Ross Twins
Jerome on the left and Carl are twins, inseparable. Choose to be one of the twins—but which one? Jerome is straight and has a wealth girlfriend that will do anything for him. Carl is bi, and has been approached by a porn website.



3. Derek Williams
Fresh out of university with a Masters. He's smart, strong and well liked by others. He has a idea for a start-up company that he knows will make a million, but it'll be hard work.



4. Christopher McNally
Chris is a bright, top of the class kid, but he's only seventeen. He looks after himself but is still dependent on his family. He has some issues at school with bullies.



5. Giles Wickes
Giles is a gardener, an odd-job man that works on a private estate. He's strong, but has a warm, trusting nature, something he brings out in other people as well. He's liked by owner, a widow. So much so that he's been named as the sole beneficiary of the estate.



6. Kurt Davison
A true jock. Kurt spends his time going from party to party amongst the various Frat's on campus. He's strong and handsome, but has little morals. His life is football, he's the QB on the team but his grades are sliding. He has the potential to earn big money, but needs a guiding hand.



7. Damien Hunt
Owner of the top nightclub in LA, it's worth a million but Damien invests heavily to maintain the club. He lives comfortably, but enjoys the benefits. He's strong, intelligent and looking for a way out as the popularity of the club is declining.



8. Roman Norberg
Roman has the complete package. He's wealth, handsome and strong. At only twenty-three he's inherited the family fortune, but he's tired of being watched, protected—it feels claustrophobic. There has already been a assassination attempt, he's on the verge of throwing it all away and going on the run.

"So see anything that interests you?" The shopkeeper asks.

Who would you choose? There are pro's and con's for each. Each one has something to offer, choose one and post your answer in the comments. If you want, tell us how you'd change their life if you were inside them.

  1. As everyone's shy (it's been read 93 times with no comments) I'll go first.


    Not unsurprisingly, all interest me (who'd thought that). But if I had to choose then it would be;


    #5, Giles. It looks like he has potential, and a shed load of cash waiting in the wings.


    Followed by #7, #6 and #8 (because that's so easy!)

  2. I'd have to think about it a little. They all have great potential, a mix of inheritance, genes and hard work. If forced to choose right now, probably number three - Derek. Although there is something to be said for number four; maybe not as immediately striking in looks as some of the others, the age and intelligence would set one up for a bloody good time at uni. Plus I am partial to the slightly adorkable photo.

  3. #2 Ross Twins - Carl. When I get in his body I'd accept the porn sites offer, tone up my new abs a bit more, and see about getting a sugar daddy... or three.

  4. Ahh, stuck between Jerome and Derek! Probably Jerome, those arms....

  5. Roman cause with his money he could pay in advance to rent the other bodies if that is not restricted with thr policy there could be an offer where the other guys would be tweaked

  6. Good work, you know me... Never give easy choices, but each one possible.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Interesting choice. At least we all would know what you look like finally. Toss up between Derek and Roman (wealthy and good looking even if he does have his problems; I should only have such problems!) but I would go for Derek. Good looking guy with puppy dog eyes that would melt anyone's heart. Hard work to achieve his goal would be a good thing.

  8. Lol, sorted! Maybe get your twin set up as well?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Haha, you know me -- I'll never make it easy. Although I'm surprised nobody's taken a risk with #8.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Oh, we have a selection for Roman. Just need to keep looking over your shoulder in case somebody decides to assassinate you... It's tough at the top.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Some good choices. Looks like you'll have a fight on your hands for Derek.

  12. I wanna live as Kurt. Never really had that kind of experience in college and I really wanna try it. Whoooo I'm gonna a cocky party animal jock

    ReplyDelete
  13. Have fun Kurt -- party on!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Who wants easy? Gotta have something to work with otherwise life would be terribly dull.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Spot on, party hard.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I pick up Kurt and my life would turn into business -sports or show kind of- also, maybe with Kyle's lifestyle

    ReplyDelete
  17. Sounds like a plan. Bet you'll have a busy schedule.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think, I will go for Giles! Some money coming my way, knows how to work hard, to appreciate fortune and THAT FACE... also like, that the pic leaves a lot for me to imagine... ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  19. that wouldnt be a problem if you have money and connections :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Giles for me too as number 1 (yes, that face! But muscles from honest hard work) then Damien (tats and older muscle), Derek (young muscle) and Kurt (jock muscle).. hmm a bit of a theme there! Perhaps we could set up a carousel and time share LOL?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Party Animal :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Sounds like all options covered :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I would go with Derek. Seems to have potential to make anything he wants come true.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Derek is a popular guy, and most people are staying clear of the ready made millionaire.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'd go for Roman. I wouldn't mind having constant protection and having that kind of money. You'd just have to be careful that anyone out to get you doesn't also go to this same shop.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm stuck between Roman, Derek, and Kyle.. I like all three of them.

    ReplyDelete
  27. As you yourself said Sean, why go for the easy route. A little challenge and hard work make for a much more fun existence :-)

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's a good point, but once you've selected your new identity it's taken off the books.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Tough choices, pick one.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yeah bro! I'm gonna rock it out! I just wanna know if I'll get dumber because of being Kurt...

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think I'll go with Roman.. He has the potential to be great, despite the constant worry.
