Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through - Mary Shelley

Moving your puppet creations around will not be sufficient to be entertaining.  You must inhabit the characters.

The puppets should have lives, stories, habits, gestus, personality.

As such, each team should take a post and should make a series of posts that bring their character to life in words.  

You will need to respond to each other's posts.  Agree and change details.  Develop each other's points.

Prizes available for best responses.
