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?"

"I mean, if he hasn't even read the notes... he probably has whatever humiliation coming to him, right?"

Look, Norman never claimed not to be petty. At least toward the living.

Although...

"What are the consequences if he runs off at the mouth, here? Does anybody but him get hurt?"

At some point, Anakin would be getting a picture sent to him of two baby boys sitting up, one crying, and one looking really annoyed about said crying.

"Find whoever I like best, tell them that if they really want a good time to ask him questions about these three things in particular, give them the actual briefing notes, and then leave to go get a drink," Yang said. "If I'm going down, I'm making it epic."

"What's the worst they can do to me?" Uma asked.

Look, it was a legitimate question.

"Well, it's not my place to correct my superiors or cause problems for them, so I should just prepare for my punishment for whatever I did wrong that led to this, and to deal with the fallout, right?" FN-2187, still operating somewhat on First Order logic, said.

Norman paused for a long moment to consider that.

"Do I like my counterparts?"

This was important.

"Besides, this way they can publish the actual briefing notes, making him look even more stupid," Yang said with a shrug. "Might as well go out a viral hero, and take him with me."

...it was entirely possible that Yang had impulse control problems, yes.

"Can't or won't?"

Again, very important distinction.

Probably. But I took his toy away so we could leave the apartment and now I (and his brother) must be punished.

And then, He’s going to be my problem child. I love him.
