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!

Well... I'm used to being the black sheep, so I'll go with that one?

[deicider]

That works.

[gigadevilbreaker]

I'll leave all the high society hobnobbin' to you.

[deicider]

Yeah. I'll need one of you others to focus on getting our low society influence cards. I don't think that one's going to come easily to me.

[gigadevilbreaker]

I way prefer slummin' it anyway.

[deicider]

So you're a noble who goes slumming? Try to think about more detail. It will help with the roleplay.

[gigadevilbreaker]

...I got fed up with all the ass-kissing and politics and I'm a disgrace to my father?

[deicider]

Perfect.

As for tips... Just try and keep a few things in mind.

[Cardinal starts writing down on a piece of paper as they speak:]

CONFIDENCE - even if you're playing someone who's not confident, you have to sell it! Nobody knows what you're thinking but you, so don't worry about whether you're playing the role "right".

CONSISTENT - Don't get lazy. make sure your actions and statements are in line with your character. Playn to your strengths!

DEDICATION - Don't break character!! If you go off script or contradict yourself or decide to throw in a twist, commit to it.

Enough dawdling! Let's get out there. We'll meet back here in a couple of hours to debrief!

[gigadevilbreaker]

O-okay!
