Etiquette, Monday

[saddeserthermit]

Obi-Wan grew a little more harried-looking every week of this class. Leaving the island was of no use, nor was avoiding places such as the Danger Shop. He had therefor bit the bullet and simply shown up to it again. He would simply have to use the Force as an umbrella if it decided to rain inside again.

There was an opulent spread laid out over a large table in the center of the room, though most of the dishes seemed... fragrant, or strangely shaped. At the head of the table sat a simulated man in blue and grey.

"Some days, one might be invited to a dinner party in a region one is not familiar with," Obi-Wan said. "Sometimes such regions have dishes you might find distasteful. We'll begin our unit on party situations simply, with a little exercise. How do you behave when such a dish presents itself? One must remain polite, yet sometimes one might be allergic to something present. Please navigate this simulation with care."

He took a step back.

Then he waited.

Just in case something would happen again.

Nothing did.

"Begin."

"And be relieved it's just a simulation," Tali added. "So . . . what's the plan? Throw it over as many of them as we can?"

"Maybe we can use it to try to, like, herd them into a corner or something?" Kathy said, chewing on her lower lip. "Kind of hold it between us like a really big net?"

Though using it as an over-sized budgie cover also made sense.

Shooting geth was easier than this. To her mild horror, Tali almost missed that right now.

"I don't suppose they're likely to just . . . fall asleep if we cover them," she said, and ducked the fork that one of the Alots had just managed to send flying off the table somehow.

It embedded itself in the back of a chair.

"Oh, our host isn't going to like that. Okay, let's try the herding plan first."

"Here goes nothing?" Kathy said, giving Tali a nervous V-sign. "Let's do this before more cutlery goes flying."

She pointed to the one that had sent the fork at them. "Start with that one?"

Maybe they could slide it off the table or something.

"Sounds good." Tali glanced at the Alot. "It's nothing personal, you understand, right?"

If it understood, it didn't seem to care. There was mischief to get up to, after all.

"It's kind of personal," Kathy muttered, since she had a slight grudge against alots. "When you're ready--"

Kathy pulled her half of the tablecloth taut and moved over to the other side. "We'll throw it over and just yank, yup!"
