ZANZIVATA; Imagine a traveler, come to entreat you for your aid. They offer you a contract. A favour for a favour. They have power in and over your world, to move mountains, raise the dead, alter the course of history. All you need to do is come reside with them for a time. Attend a few fancy parties, maybe fight a duel or two. Be a knife in the dark when they ask, or a shield against the knives of others. Perhaps they'll ask you to seduce, perhaps they'll ask you to torture. After all, they know you very well.
They may tell you it'll be easy. Or they'll stress that it will be worth it. Or maybe they play it straight with you and explain the truth of it all: that you're to act as a set-piece for them. A bit of window dressing, a testament to their power and ability to summon others from their homes. Of course, you will be returned home to a world changed to your choosing when your contract is up, providing you've held up your end of the bargain to their satisfaction. Good luck.
ZANZIVATA is a panfandom science fiction/fantasy game with a focus on the political machinations and intrigue of a group of very ambitious and manipulative player-driven and created NPCs. These NPCs are jockeying for a senatorial position only lately available, and are bringing in player characters from the far reaches of various universes to help them strong-arm, bribe, charm, flirt or backstab their way into power. Its events will run the gamut from whimsical parties to assassinations and the fallout thereof. There will be occurrences that ring to the tune of horror and some that are more slice of life, and the plot is largely malleable and driven by player actions. Mod involvement in the plot is very low overall, the expectation is that you are up to the task of crafting your own experience within the context of the game.
AC proofs are either three (3) threads with reasonable effort to reply (see the FAQ for details) or one post with the same. This is to allow for some flexibility in a month rather than an arbitrary 'tag threshold'.
