Character: Flim and Flam
Quest Outline:
Flim and Flam have a page and are willing to give any creature the chance to win it… for a price.
Character Position:
Flim and Flam knew one thing when they heard about the missing pages from the grape vine: Those pages meant power, and power meant money. But why use a page and undoubtedly be stopped by Applejack and her goody two-shoes friends when they can sell it and make a fortune?But if they sell it to one group, that would show favoritism and that would put them on bad terms with the other two teams. No. The best course of action would be to sell a chance to win. Then no one can blame them for who wins in the end because it's up to chance now!
Actor Instructions:
The actors will have a table with a simple prize machine full of those little ring cases for small prizes. In every one of these is a slip of paper. Most of them have “try again” and a few have funny prizes we can give out (1 free flim Flam invisible miracle brand tonic). The main prize though will be the page to whoever gets it! Once someone wins a prize, Flim and Flam should ask them which faction they support, and then they reveal a matching codeword. Heroes get #LuckyDuck, Chaos gets #OneInAMillion, and Villain gets #MakeYourOwnLuck. Afterwards cosplayers can either end the scene or just reset the prize machine. Your jobs are to schmooze with people, let them think they can be the ones to put their team over the top.
To pay for the prize, Flim and Flam try to convince the con goer to give them just one gem from a jar that says “Rarity’s” on it (possibly “do not touch”) nearby. They were told they couldn't touch it but no one said someone else couldn't give them one.
If the con goer decides to use a gem to pay, they immediately get the codeword #takeachance (villian) along with trying for the free codeword.
If they refuse, the twins reluctantly give them the codeword #goodyfourshoes (hero)
Character Headspace:
Your job is to 'scam' as many customers as possible and 'get rich' in a way where, no matter what, you come out the winner. Even if someone wins the page early, always make it seem like you have more! Schmooze creatures over. Tell them how powerful the page is. Make outlandishly amazing it will be when the odds are down and there's them with a page running to victory. Sing a tune off the top of your head if you want! Do anything you can to try to sell, sell, sell, and get those gems!
