Practical Diplomacy, Wednesday, February 21, 2018

Today the Danger Shop was set up to look like a water-treatment facility. "Right," Anakin said, handing out extremely stupid-looking hard hats. "Another part of diplomacy is checking up on projects that your government is funding. For the most part these visits are extremely boring, often loud, and sometimes very smelly. They will usually include speeches, far too many photos, and sometimes cultural dancing, singing and food. Today will will tour this facility, nod and smile at the tour guide as he gives us information about the building that you will absolutely not be able to hear, and then negotiate your way through a table full of food that you don't recognize."

Anakin smiled. "It'll be fun!"

Well, it would have been more fun if Anakin hadn't cranked the heat so that the ambient temperature in this fake facility wasn't close to 95/35 degrees and humid as all hell.

Take the tour!

The man giving it is super enthusiastic, and completely incomprehensible. Smile and nod. Smile and nod.

Norman was doing a lot of smiling and nodding, interspersed with just trying to get his hat to sit comfortably on his head. The trouble with having stubborn, stick-uppy hair, was that hats didn't generally sit well on it.

He kept having to reach up and kind of re-settle the hard-hat back on his noggin. And it didn't even distract him from the heat, so much as it just added to how aggravated he was feeling about it.

The hard hats looked especially stupid on Togruta. Ahsoka was torn on whether Anakin had done that on purpose or not.

Bobby was smiling and nodding! A lot!

Also totally owning wearing a stupid hat. And anyone standing within a few feet of Bobby might notice the air around him was distinctly less hot. Weird.

Eh, whatever. There was food at the end so it was all good.
