Alternative Tactics, Wednesday First Period 24/10

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

It was Danger Shop time again.

Except Kerrigan wasn't wearing any armor.

That would've been the first tip-off right there.

"Thanks to certain students in this class," she said, crossing her arms, "We have a slight change in the curriculum today. We are going to be concerned with diplomacy and its advantages in the field."

She didn't sound like she felt it had any advantages in the field of all places.

"Since I still believe we all learn by doing, that means we're using the sim to place you in a situation where you will have to negotiate yourself out or die. As this class is his particular gift to us, Adama if he is here can go first. And show you all how it's done."

If you thought she was smirking, you thought wrong.

Really.

[ wait for the ocd up! ]

Diplomatically.

Listen to the Lecture

Short and repressedly evil-laughter-filled as it is.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

Gwynn took careful notes, agreeing on some of the points of diplomacy.

Harriet was standing unobtrusively at the back of the Shop, observing the class. She'd be paying careful attention to the practical, as well.

Feel free to pretend she's not there if you want to. Or not.

Lee was already rolling his eyes and looking like he wanted to be anywhere but in class when he heard both the topic of discussion and that he had to go first.

Diplomacy? Anemone was resisting the urge to beat her head against the Danger Shop wall. The best method of diplomacy she had found was to simply not open her mouth. Somehow, every time Anemone talked, she only seemed to make things worse.

Marco was listening, really, ignore the fact that his eyes kept closing.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy was pretty sure that once things actually got to the battle field, diplomacy had already failed. But he listened and took notes.

Okay, good. Rikku could try this. Right? Totally. Uh. Just have some tact like she usually didn't.

Get Out There

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

You find yourself between two armies with nothing but a com link to keep you company. There's a human and an alien commander glaring at you through it. Good luck.

Re: Get Out There

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Since he had to be first, Lee was there, keeping the com link company. It was a mutually exclusive relationship, one born of a bond between plastic and human.

Or, Lee was just bored looking. Still.

Seely had tried talking his way out of a bad situation before.

And ended up married at sword-point.

Oh well, at least this wasn't likely to end with wedding bells.

Re: Get Out There

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco figured that if he kept talking, he'd just confuse or charm everyone into obedience. Or run really, really fast.

Re: Get Out There

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Well, this ought to be entertaining. Anemone looked at the com link expectantly, waiting for someone to yell at her.

In situations like this, someone was always yelling at her.

Re: Get Out There

[multiplez]

Z clutched her com link and glanced nervously back and forth between the two armies. Yeah, this seemed like a great idea.

Re: Get Out There

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy was not phased by glaring. He'd been glared at by some of the best.

Re: Get Out There

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

Not knowing the details of what was going on, Qui-Gon remained silent, waiting for someone to provide some.

Re: Get Out There

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka blinked at the com link. Well, it was always good to be proactive, right? He hit buttons until he was pretty sure he was talking to both commanders at once.

"Greetings, mighty warriors!" he called out in his deepest, strongest voice. "What unfortunate circumstances bring you to this field of battle?"


Heh. "Unfortunate" was a good, diplomatic-type word. He'd've used "lamentable", if he had actually known what it meant.

Re: Get Out There

[likethegun]

Sam held onto his comm link, and wondered if puppy eyes would work for any of these guys.

Re: Get Out There

[the_merriest]

Rikku cleared her throat. Okay. She was calm. She could do this. She held on to her com link and waited for something to happen.

Re: Get Out There

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke tucked the comlink onto his belt and held his hands out to prove he wasn't armed.

"Hello," he said quietly.

Talk to the TA

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

He's probably the most diplomatic of all.

Re: Talk to the TA

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter is here and looking for his mirror to be the fairest, uh, most diplomatic of them all.

Talk to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

She's caught between being really amused and being annoyed at herself. She might not be a diplomat, but she's got the skills to incite rebellion, dammit.

...

And talking to people is better than killing them.

The opportunity just doesn't tend to come up much.

OOC

Muhahahahaha.
