The three actors must keep speaking about a topic chosen by the audience until the Pointer points to another student. The Pointer can switch storytellers mid-word. If the new speaker isn’t paying close attention, the Pointer and the audience shout, “die”. Then the actor who messed up must perform a brief death scene of his own choosing: jumping off a cliff, drinking poison, running out into traffic, etc. There are three ways to mess up: pause too long, repeat something already said, or go totally off the track/story.
