conversations.value: This is a jewel heist caper, set in London in 1964. It's a world of charming chameleons, gentlemen burglars, bored socialites, loves-his-mum gangsters, career burglars and girls with pluck; of opportunities to set yourself up for life or to go down for 5-10 years.  Can your crew work together to steal the diamond?
  
  *I'm aiming for something light, like the Italian Job (Michael Caine version), The Thomas Crown Affair (either version) or Ocean's 11 (Clooney version). So for instance, you may have access to “shooters” but nobody should die.  Not if the plan works anyway.*
  
  *To be open, I've not narrated before, I've not used a starter world and I'm planning on doing this on the fly, without the aid of much prepared plot. I've written quite a lot of text that I'm pretty sure I'll need, but importantly I'm planning on following your lead on what the next scene is and what your objective for it is.  Your characters will need to do lots of planning, preparation, purchasing, pilfering and casing the joint  before you're ready to attempt the job itself.*
  
  *I suggest you go for a wide range of the archetypes from these sorts of films, including a mix of genders and social classes, to try to make sure you can handle anything I throw at you.  Feel free to write new cards though – these are suggestions only.*
  
  *Up for this? It's a bit experimental, but I think it's got to be tried!*

conversations.value: Head of security at Simpson's Gallery.  He's 6'4" and slender, you can see why he made a good security guard for crowded places. However, now in his 40s, he spends more of his time hunched uncomfortably over a security screen or a log book.

conversations.prefix: The old fire station:

conversations.prefix: Marcus Simpson:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Security at Simpson's Gallery. Ted is a massive man: not flabby, but 6'6" and broad shouldered. He must have been very intimidating once, but at around 50 with a large beer belly he's probably not too quick now.
conversations.prefix: Ted Tanter:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: He could be a bank manager, until you notice the high quality of his suit, or hear the severity of the implied threats in his offers. Work with him or keep out of this way but don't try to cross him.
conversations.prefix: Mr Gold:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Security at Simpson's Gallery. Tommy is skinny and spotty and can't be much over twenty. He's tried to counteract that by working out, so that he's now skinny and spotty surprisingly big biceps. He's still not going to get any respect.
conversations.prefix: Tommy Briggs:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Security at Simpson's Gallery. Average height, barrel-shaped, and almost certainly an retired sergeant major. His moustache is certainly making him look like one anyway. Scarred across the left cheek from almost his eye to his earlobe.

conversations.prefix: In front of Simpson's Gallery:

conversations.value: Charlie has curly blonde hair and wears knitwear. He's been titled "The Librarian" and can almost certainly access any printed information faster than you can. 
  
  He is also your link with Mr Money. He looks too young and naive to have earned that level of trust though.

conversations.prefix: Lady Eliza:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Personal private secretary to Lady Eliza. A shriveled old shrew, it appears, petite to start with, but now  shrunk by hard work for little reward so her skin sags. This appears to allow even more fierce pouting.
