<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We can imagine the scenery at Crack Den shows a devastated city, not filled exactly with the most moral citizens, nor the trusted ones. But a few things can be shared eventually as characteristics of personalities that deal with roleplaying criminals, victims, or innocents, as well as simple citizens when facing illicit activities in town.</p>

1. <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Your first challenge in this class is to develop a short statement choosing a character, someone you make up, or your character experiencing the moment of a crime committed in town. Write your description of the scene, and thoughts and feelings related to this scene. Also some action(s) from your character in the situation;</p>

2. <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Second activity is to describe the background story related to the scene you described, and thoughts and feelings, even reactions to what have happened. For example, why you choose this crime? Why the description was as you post, and why not other? Would you consider something impossible in your posted scene, thoughts, feelings and actions?</p>
3. <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Would you feel comfortable if someone roleplaying with you in the same scene pointed out something impossible in your scene to happen? Would you feel comfortable being pushed in to some thoughts, feelings and actions you have not imagined possible before? Or is this a fertile ground for developing your roleplaying abilities?</p>
