Practical Diplomacy

[sith_happened]

Today the class was back in the Danger Shop, but instead of a press conference, it was set up to look like an extremely stuffy reception. Waitstaff of various species wove through the crowd offering appetizers and drinks as people made smalltalk and tried to look and be as interesting as possible.

Anakin hated these events. "Right," he said to the class. "A huge part of your job as a diplomat will be making and maintaining contacts, and excruciatingly dull receptions is an excellent time to do so. Your job today is to find and remember three separate beings' names and what they do while holding a glass of something and eating a plate of appetizers. It's not nearly as easy as it sounds. You must also give them a false name and backstory. Silly accents are entirely optional."

"You speak the truth," Sidon said with a chuckle, "and while everyone has been truly astonishing and quite entertaining, I must say, I was most excited to meet none other than the Percival Prenderghast! Can you believe it? Oh, but of course you can, as you are the one who invited him! So I can imagine that you can understand why a Azoralandian such as myself, from such a dry, sandy place with little to no water to speak of, would be so delighted to meet a sand merchant with the caliber that someone of that name holds!"

...yeah, Sidon was having way too much fun with this.
