### Purpose

* Listening and being in the present moment with each other.
* Storytelling.
* Accepting and building on offers.
* Being obvious.
* Teamwork and support.

### Tips

* Listen
* Support the other players, you’re working with them
* You are one character, so remember to say “I” instead of “we”
* Match the voice/physicality of the other places
* Remember the names of the person with the problem, and the name of your agony aunt!

### Origin

This came out of a Hoopla workshop.
