Success

An array of truths and falsehoods

[…]

You speak as though playing an instrument. You show a little true emotion, exactly when the audience needs it. You supply facts […] and when facts are inconvenient, you turn to myth […]

When you step down, there is not applause, but a cold determination.

Description summary:
The first paragraph varies, depending on your .

Statue	First Paragraph
None	The crowd gathers in a derelict courtyard.
The Jovial Contrarian	The crowd gathers by the statue to the Jovial Contrarian. Even with your back to the Contrarian, you can feel the radiance of his smirk. He might very well give just this speech himself, if he were in a mood to stir trouble.
Virginia	The crowd gathers by the statue to Virginia. Virginia is not exactly an icon of the Revolution, but she is no pawn of the Masters, either. Perhaps some of your audience will find the Devils inspiring.
Yourself, Poet-Laureate	The crowd gathers by the statue […] It is a slightly awkward juxtaposition, but perhaps your audience will not notice that you are the person in the statue. Or maybe they'll be moved by your eloquence rather than distracted by your social position.
