IMPROV PROMPT
The Introduction
You’re meeting the Spy Ninjas for the first time, trying to impress them and convince them to let you join the team even though they worry you are too young to join them. Improvise a fun and confident introduction, talking about your love for spy gadgets, your athletic skills, and your passion for adventure. Show your excitement, but also slip in a moment where you reveal a personal reason why you want to fight for justice—something that motivates you on a deeper level.
Feeling Like the Odd One Out
Your character feels like they bring something unique or even a little weird to the Spy Ninjas, but they’re not sure if they fully fit in yet. Improvise a lighthearted conversation where you explain your quirky traits or habits, but also explore how that uniqueness gives you strength, or what it’s like to embrace being different.
