Practical Diplomacy, Friday, March 10, 2017

[sith_happened]

Today's class was held in the Danger Shop, with dozens of beings (male, female, and none-of-your-business) wandering around in business attire, drinking from wine glasses and eating needlessly fussy appetizers. "Welcome to a diplomatic reception," Anakin said with a little sigh. "The most tedious places on any given planet."

"If you don't know how to comport yourself," said Obi-Wan. (Who was lying. He found them tedious, too.) "But comporting one's self can be... something of a trial, yes."

"The alcohol that helps to make them less horrible can lead to other problems: talking out of turn, telling someone what you really think, getting sick in someone important's potted plant...so you will not be allowed to have alcohol here," Anakin said. "The guests you will interact with...do not have that restriction."

So now you also have to talk to potentially drunk people! Yay, you!

"I wasn't moving," Tip pointed out. Diplomatically.

"Of course you were," he insisted, wobbling slightly on his feet. "Do you know who I am?"

"Do you know who I am?" Tip asked.

"If you were worth knowing, I would know already," the man sniffed.

"You must live in a very narrow little world then," Tip said. "Where you never ever get to meet anyone new and worthwhile."

It was very sad for him.

"Yes, but I like the people I know," he sniffed. "They don't bump into me."

Tip hadn't bumped into him, either.

Yeah, Tip remembered that part, too. "Gee, I was just thinking the same thing."

She was clearly awesome at this diplomacy thing.

She was being taught by the best! And Anakin.

The man sniffed again. "I shall seek more refiiined company. And another drink."

He really didn't need another drink. At all.
