Shifting Sands: avante en garde

[idolpro]

You find yourselves in a tastefully-appointed stateroom with linens and upholstery in avante gold. At one side is a closet full of Victorian-era costumes and a box of props—whatever you might need to play a role.

There's a desk, and someone has left written instructions on the blotter. Maybe you should read them!

[Definitely evaluating her carefully, but moving on with the conversation. They look puzzled.]

What? No, I mean when you pretend to be someone.

[There's exhaustion in the line of her shoulders and the tone of her voice, and she seems to be making an effort to come off as close to normal as she is, which is still fairly withdrawn for her]

Yeah, like a dwarf or an orc or something. I done that before. This's basically the same with no dice, right?

[deicider]

Oh, yes. So which one of these roles do you want? I picked Artiste, and Nero picked Black Sheep.

[unbr8kable]

Whatever. ...Can do Explorer or something unless you think there's something better.

[deicider]

There's no telling what everyone else will pick, so do whichever one sounds fun.

[unbr8kable]

[fun.........?]

...We need low society and underworld stuff, right? Makes sense to not be too fancy in that case.

[deicider]

I've got the fancy stuff covered. Nero could probably use some back-up for the low society stuff, you're right.

[unbr8kable]

...Explorer'll prolly be easiest, then, unless you think we'll need a doctor for money later. Could be a kid from the streets who left to find their fortune abroad, and's hoping this weird flower'll make 'em some fame or fortune or whatever...

[deicider]

That's perfect. Don't worry about money, I've got that angle covered.

[unbr8kable]

[Ducks her head a little]

...Okay. Let's do it.

[deicider]

We'll meet back here in a couple of hours to debrief!

[unbr8kable]

Got it. Good luck.
