Practical Diplomacy, Friday, January 4, 2019
The class would find themselves in the Danger Shop, which had been set up like a diplomatic reception: drinks in the back of a too large, too bright, room with much too long a line; a variety of languages being spoken with various degrees of expertise; waitstaff circulating with varieties of mid-level snacks on tiny skewers (and no, they don't know what they are either); and people standing in pairs, singles, and small groups looking uncomfortable.
"Welcome to a networking opportunity," Anakin said, making a slight face, "otherwise known as roughly 40 percent of your life as a diplomat. Today's assignment is to introduce yourself to three people in this room, including me, exchange business cards--" he passed them out to every student as he continued speaking, "and come away with three ways to remember who they are for the next reception."
He smiled a little evilly. "Because there will be a next reception."

Re: Mingle: Anakin
Vette couldn't deny it forever.
"But I intend to be good at it."
Re: Mingle: Anakin
Which was why he'd made such amazing choices! Or soemthing!
Re: Mingle: Anakin
You could tell what kind of diplomat she was aiming for just by taking note of the fact that one of her other classes this semester was about Civil Disobedience.
So.
Re: Mingle: Anakin
Not diplomacy, Anakin. At all.

"Maybe not," Vette replied. "But I'll still have fun trying."
... Or get locked up by a Sith ahd collared again. One of those two things.
Re: Mingle: Anakin
"Diplomacy is fun when it involves weapons."
Again, NOT DIPLOMACY, ANAKIN.
Re: Mingle: Anakin
Yeah, her life and her choices were suspect, and now she apparently had a teacher who was an enabler in that area. This would end well.
Re: Mingle: Anakin
What with the ambush class he had planned.
Re: Mingle: Anakin
"I'm looking forward to it," Vette decided.
She really was. If she'd known there was an ambush lined up, she'd just get bouncy about it anyway.
