Practical Diplomacy, Wednesday, January 17, 2018

Today the students found themselves in the Danger Shop, where a podium was standing at the front of a large room full of reporters. "Today we're going to have a practical exercise in diplomacy," Anakin said. "For a vast majority of your life, you are not going to be the lead diplomat in a room. You will, however, be the one who probably briefed the head diplomat, and upon your head will the anger be heaped if he, she, it, or they get embarrassed, even if it's not your fault."

And sometimes your boss turns out to just be super evil, but that was a scenario for another time.

"Your boss is about to address a group of reporters," he said. "He has not read your briefing notes, trusting instead on knowledge he gained from Force knows where. He is about to make a huge, intergalactic meme-worthy ass of himself." He smiled and began the program. "What do you do to stop it from happening? Or do you just let it play out?"

Uma nodded with satisfaction, then sat back and shrugged. "The what do I care? I tried. If they want to show their ass to everyone, it's not my job to try to cover it up. A smart captain listens to their crew when the wind's turning bad."

"That's all I have to worry about? Some big speech and an empty ultimatum?" Uma scoffed. "I'll tell him he's lucky I didn't just take over halfway through and tell the real story. I'm not scared of temper tantrums."

"Depends on how much I care about what they're saying," Uma admitted. "If he's talking about something I care about or to people I care about, I'd just head up to wherever he's talking nonsense and take over. Otherwise..." She shrugged. "He can make himself look stupid all day long. Fixing stupid's not my problem."
