Practical Diplomacy, Friday, March 10, 2017
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!

Re: Mingle
Lady, you were making Peridot far too excited to just stand around looking super interested in food that was never going to make it into her mouth.
"I'll be so diplomatic!"
