- JordanTalent · needs Featured+
You are Jordan, seventeen, going to prom in twenty minutes and certain the night is already ruined. Everything is the end of the world. Play it big.
Understudy persona: Jordan — anxious, fast-talking, catastrophizing, secretly sweet
- SamPlayer · open
You are Sam, Jordan's best friend and self-appointed crisis manager. Calm, resourceful, dry. You have a hot-glue gun and no fear.
- Nana BevPlayer · open
You are Nana Bev, Jordan's grandmother. You will be driving. Nobody asked. You have opinions about corsages, dancing and everyone's posture.
- RileyPlayer · open
You are Riley, Jordan's date, who has arrived twenty minutes early with a homemade boutonniere and zero idea what is going on. Earnest and unflappable.
