 Behavior: How to Act the Role

• Speak in riddles. Then laugh like it made perfect sense.

• Interrupt yourself. Then keep going.

• Offer people mysterious objects. Don’t explain.

• Use phrases like:

  • “Did I say that out loud?”

  • “You weren’t supposed to see that!”

  • “Time is but a suggestion.”

  • “I’ve got three theories and a backup teacup.”

• Make bold entrances. Point at things. Cackle gently.

​

Voice/Diction:

• High-energy or oddly calm

• Use odd metaphors: “That plan was wobblier than a one-legged giraffe.”

• Accent optional—but commitment is not
