1. An information processing apparatus comprising circuitry configured to
invoke and cause a second avatar to participate in a virtual space based on an instruction from a first user, the second avatar representing the first user and being proxy for a first avatar that represents the first user and participates in the virtual space, the second avatar being different from the first avatar,
determine whether the second avatar has been contacted by other avatar representing a second user,
determine attributes of the second user upon determining that the second avatar has been contacted by the other avatar,
identify a scenario in accordance with the attributes of the second user, and
execute a process based on the scenario,
wherein the circuitry transmits screen data to a user terminal operated by the first user,
the screen data being used to display a screen in which content of information that is generated by executing the process based on the scenario is associated with content of an action expected to be taken by the first user.
