Practical Diplomacy, Friday, February 8, 2019
"One of the most useful skills to hone as a diplomat is the art of getting out of an uncomfortable conversation--and this is the important part--without stabbing someone."
Take a moment, kids, to feel badly for Anakin's teachers because that had been an actual lesson he'd gotten.
"You can stab yourself, but only in absolute emergencies."
He gestured around at the Danger Shop, which had been set up as the exact same reception as the first class, complete with the same appetizers and the same people because diplomacy got repetive. "I have programmed NPCs to come around and annoy you in a variety of ways. Your job is to get out of the conversations as gracefully as possible. And...go."
