The last year hasn't been easy, but here you are. You have recently left a difficult relationship, and also your job. Your ex partner was/is a bully, and you had been working for their family business. Your close friends knew enough about it, and offered support to make sure you escaped ... but now the future looks uncertain . While you continue to seek employment (without a glowing reference from your previous employer), your friends won't let you wallow in self pity. The latest radical push is that they have brought you along to join the musical theatre group. You're a competent performer and able to speak to an audience, your karaoke voice isn't terrible, and you've been to see a few of the recent shows. But this is outside your previous comfort zone - you quickly realised how keen and excitable these people are, and your own energy levels are not that high. You're just about to make your excuses/apologies ... then you meet the choreographer ...

Neil

While getting some late night shopping in the quiet supermarket, you notice Neil. You'd been working overtime, finished late, and didn't really fancy cooking anything ... so you're just getting something easy for your dinner. You know Neil lives in your area. You think you remember him having an awful mother who controlled and bullied him for years, and maybe you had some empathy for him. He's been the type of person who nobody knows ... but everyone has an opinion about. Normally, you'd probably just take your shopping and go home ... but, inexplicably, you decide to do something else tonight - you casually stop near Neil as he's engrossed in the limited selection of fruit and vegetables. From the way he's checking and selecting, you're sure Neil knows more about healthy eating than you'd give him credit for. You offer a convivial "Hello" ...

You're new to this area, and have only recently started at the local college. You've met a few people, and everyone seems quite pleasant. But, like many places, there is also a history and an unspoken understanding around here. One day, while you're out exploring the surrounding area, you encounter Robyn. You had previously been told of this dynamic rebel, but now you can actually form your own opinion of this mysterious woman.

Greg is your landlord, and you're behind on the rent. You have a basic room in a shared house in the city. The location is convenient for your work and your pastimes. Greg has the best room in the house. He is apparently responsible for the upkeep, but the place is not well maintained.

Walking back to your hotel, it's the morning after the night before. You, and your lifelong friends, are holidaying in the south of France ... because somebody said it was a Nice place. You'd all been socialising together with some other tourists, and jumped at a chance to go out on some eastern European guy's amazing party boat. The night was great ... until somebody was found dead. A German woman had called the police, and everyone was taken for questioning. It wasn't long before you sobered up enough, and a frustrated french policeman got your statement. Aside from your 4 friends, and a few people you met, you hadn't known anyone ... certainly not the victim. Your interview had been quite brief. But you'd heard enough to know there had been some arguments and a fight. An hour ago, you'd been released and asked to go back to your accommodation. The police have your passport, and will visit you later today. You haven't seen your friends, so you only presume they'll be told the same thing. Now , you're walking along a quiet beach as the sun rises on the new day ... and you're exhausted and dealing with a buzzing headache ... when you see a vision ahead of you. Your immediate response is to wonder if you're actually somehow moving from a nightmare back to dreaming ...

You are a journalist. You have been working hard to get a big story - though you've refused to be corrupted or manipulated. One day, you're just getting settled at your usual desk ... when the news breaks - Donald has been abducted, and is presumed dead. Unsurprisingly, his closest advisors and office holders are unable to agree on anything ... except to ask Elon. You hear that Donald left instructions, at Elon's insistence, for his favourite daughter to be acting president in his absence. Just as every media group is getting it's own people lined up ... your boss gets an authenticated messagel from Elon - you're going to meet Ivanka.

You are attending the Capulet's masquerade party with your friend Benvolio, and his cousin Romeo. This ridiculous guy, Romeo, says he's totally in love with a girl named Rosaline. Benvolio, your trusted friend, isn't sure about her ... so he's sent you to find Rosaline while he stays at the party with Romeo. You explore this beautiful house for a while, but eventually you step out on to a balcony away from everyone else. You find Rosaline ... with Capulet's daughter, Juliet.

You are a Scottish noble in a turbulent time. Returning home along your familiar route on a cold wet night, you discovered this young woman abandoned by the roadside. She is obviously injured and seems quite lost. Being honourable, you think it best to offer her shelter. Travelling to your home, she is shy and quiet, not telling you much about how she came to be out here alone. Once in by the fire, able to get warmed and dry, accepting a drink to quench her thirst, she seems to be a little brighter and more comfortable now.
