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!

"What's educational about it?" the Bothan asked. "I'd sooner watch paint dry."

"That's what I'd like to know," Ahsoka muttered below her breath, resisting the urge to try to mind trick the fake Bothan into actually going to watch paint dry.

"The will of the Force reveals itself in time," she said so the Bothan could hear, mimicking Anakin mimicking Obi-Wan.

"How very wise," the Bothan agreed, nodding solemnly. "Though I seldom see that happening at a reception."
