Mmm - one more filip. I said "hang on a sec" in the IIEE post, with relation to who describes the tableaux. Default, the easy way: PC does one, antagonistic institution's player the other.
Fancier way: depending on the type of scene, the player in a specific relationship-slot (assuming that version of the design) has this job. In a Fear scene, for instance, it's hard-coded that the "Pursued by..." institution's player does one tableau, and the "Sheltered by..." player does the other one. Likely neither of these is the PC's player, so he can chip in with discussion but the buck stops outside his hands.
Just a filip, but a neat one. I think it would help make the PCs feel kind of small compared to the institutions around them. You can't stand entirely alone; no, really, you can't.
