Discuss with your chosen players how you came to be in (nominally) friendly competition, vying to show your superiority before your assembled brethren.
Where are you? Who is your audience? Who is competing?
If you aren’t competing, you may play as the audience, either as your character or as another spectator.
To start, ask each other: • What do you look like right now? Are you in your true form or are you wearing one of your masks? • What’s your mood, and how can I tell?
During the scene, anyone can ask anyone questions about the setting, occasion, and circumstances, even if they aren’t playing in the scene.
The person most eager to perform takes the first turn. If this isn’t clear, have another player choose who goes first at whim. On your turn, choose how you’ll wow the audience, then choose a competitor prompt.
Afterwards, anyone who wants to can respond as a Spectator. Continue until each Competitor has gone at least twice, or retired.
After you’re done, choose a quality reflecting your lasting impression of the experience. Add it to your card.
Jealous / Greedy / Curious / Triumphant / Humbled / Adored / Shunned / Zealous / Overconfident / Inspired / Awed / Shaken
