Summary
One player is either interviewing for a new job or starting their first day in a new role. The catch: they were recently in a very different profession, and their old habits, instincts, and vocabulary keep bleeding through. The game isn’t about direct jokes — it’s about the character genuinely trying to adapt while being unable to fully shed their previous identity. Works best when the old job and new job are as different as possible.
Example
A retired surgeon starting as a kindergarten teacher. “Alright everyone, we’re going to need you to remain very still. I’m going to make a small incision into this — I mean, we’re going to cut the construction paper. Hold your breath. Don’t sneeze.” The kids are four years old. The surgeon is trying.
