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."

"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.
