Where would they be right now? If the companions lived in our real today world...and were true life people..what would they be doing? Just a fun topic to discuss.
I think we can count out Mildred and Doc because they had lives before they got thrown in DL..but what would Ryan, Krysty, J.B. and Jack be doing if they were born today in our world? I had a few thoughts..
Krysty would be a healer/save the earth/Psychic or something. A true flower child...living out of a VW bus and spreading the "clean living" mantra.
Jack would be living in the bayou running an alligator wrestling show I think. And then tossing axe's at targets and challenging the spectators to competitions to beat him. I also see him wearing Ray Ban's to shade his eyes. He'd also have like 3 ex-wives and like 20 kids running around.
J.B. would be running his own automotive repair shop. One of those guys who can fix a car in like 20 minutes when the book says 3 hours. He shoots guns on the side, but i see him kind of a loner and living in a small place but with posters of like the Carribean on the wall. Wanting to make enough $$ and retire to the beach as soon as he can. He helps the local bar out by bar-backing for a buddy occasionally, and he shoots pool like a pro. He wears contacts though and a faded Cubs baseball hat all the time.
Ryan i think would be in jail. He'd steal a car when he was a kid, get a taste for the lawless life and be arrested like 100 times. He'd meet some girl and she would be disresped by some guy at a bar and Ryan would beat the snot out of him and get caught. He'd be sent up and join a gang in prison and then when he gets out would be all back to his old self with a bunch of Biker gang members running booze or something.
