Description

The performers are given a list of zany items that they must incorporate into their scene. The majority of the items will be things that they must shop for. Other offers may be incorporated into the scene along the lines of Options. The performers should endeavour to maintain a narrative arc and use the offers to explore their characters. The setting need not be a retail store, and the performers may find themselves shopping online, at a bazaar, or searching a dragon’s lair.
