"We're going to continue on with our discussion about slim odds. If everyone could get back with their groups."

Padme waits for the seats to shuffle about.

"If you were out last time, just sit with any group and they will fill you in. Now... I want your groups to come up with a solution to this:'

"You are in enemy territory. You don't know the layout of the land, it's your first time in thise location. You had not the chance to do research and frankly, your current situation is unintentional. You and your group are trying to make your way through to civilization, or at least what you hopes pass for it. Suddenly, you are surrounded. They are armed. You are not.'

"What do you do?"

Elizabeth snickered. "Depending on what work they'd make us do, we might prefer to be shot," she said flippantly.

"We could try bribing them with your shoes?" Elizabeth suggested, with a completely straight face.

Parker studied her shoes for a second. "No." She rolled her eyes. "You'd give them to someone who wears a size 10, and I'd get them back all stretched out." She cocked her head to the side. "If we have chocolate, we're saved."

"It would depend on how long we'd be lost before they found us. We might have eaten it all by then," Elizabeth said. "A shiny penny?"

"Carter's winning smile? If I were still smoking, we could give them my cigarettes, get them addicted, and exploit that. Ah, well. Opportunities to be a drug pusher lost."

Elizabeth snickered. "Your lollipops? Or would getting them high on sugar be a bad thing?"

"Ooo. More than enough to go around, we can trade them for just putting the weapons down. Plus, isn't this that cultural, share-food-make-friends thing?"

"I'm pretty sure it is... I don't know, I dropped anthropology," Elizabeth grinned.
