Success

An emotive speech

[...] You speak with conviction. You tell your listeners a story of how it has always been- the light of the stars, the light of law, keeping the best people in the worst places. You speak about the world that might be if that light were gone at last.

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

Statue	First Paragraph
None	The crowd gathers in a derelict courtyard.
Sinning Jenny	The crowd gathers by the statue to Sinning Jenny. She is remembered around here as having a great kindness for the poor. The reputation is more straightforward than the reality, but it suits for now.
Feducci	The crowd gathers by the statue to Feducci. The bronze Feducci has an aura of dangerous swagger, as though he is about to stab someone: it does set a certain tone for the speech.
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.
The Tentacled Entrepreneur	The crowd gathers by the statue to the Tentacled Entrepreneur. The Tentacled Entrepreneur could be taken as a symbol of the system successfully defied, wealth in the possession of an outsider..
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.
