I'm developing the QotWs by making a slow march through the Libra Personae. So today's question basically imagines that you've unlocked the first two spells and are forced into a temporary impersonation without the benefit of a mind band. You wouldn't mind having fun, but the real challenge is to escape detection.

So, tempting as it would be to be Chelsea Cooper, I would not be able to pull off her athleticism or her personality. If I'm trying to hide out, I'm afraid it would be as Philip Fairfax. I think I could pull off the nerd-brainiac thing in front of people (and if it's only a week I could fail the advanced math and science homework without issue), and he's pretty reserved so that I could be withdrawn without it exciting much comment.

Okay, that's not an exciting answer, but I'd be really cautious. There is good reason to think that people are much less prone to notice strange behavior in their friends and acquaintances than we think, so if others in this forum want to take a chance on much riskier impersonations, go for it!

You can also be creative in imagining what you'd do during the impersonation. Just because I'm the nervous type who would do his best to hide doesn't mean that you should think the same way.
