"So yesterday kind of killed the fun of playing emotional dice today," Anakin said as he hopped up onto the stage. "So today we will do a different exercise: Meet My Friend. Turn to the person to your left: that's the person you are introducing. You do not get to talk to them. It doesn't matter if you know them--it's actually better if you don't. Your job is to introduce this friend of yours with the most ridiculous back story you can come up with. The person you are introducing is not allowed to laugh. Whoever stays stoic the longest wins."

He smiled. "And then you can all take turns introducing me to the class."

Tell us his tragic back story!

Vi briefly considered her options. "As you've probably guessed by now, Skywalker is a stage name, taken in his youth," she began. "He was actually the heir to a long line of famous and highly successful wigmakers, not going to name names, but it's exactly who you're thinking of. But he caught the acting bug, and well, they couldn't have him bringing the family name into scandal, so they cut him off. Without a coin to his name and still looking for his break he was forced to sell his hair to a rival signalling family to survive. Ever since he's refused to cut his hair shorter than its current length."

"It's all true," Anakin said, face carefully blank.

Vi wasn't ready to admit defeat yet. "Now, that play we saw was from after he sold his hair, you all remember what it looked like." People who maintained their undercuts using the shivs people had tried to stick them with shouldn't throw stones. "But before that, golden ringlets down to the ankles. Apparently there even exists some tasteful portraiture showcasing those locks in all their glory."

"I was stunning," Anakin said dryly.

"Now, I'm not one to spread rumours, but I've heard that as soon as he got successful enough and came into money, the first thing he did was buy back the wigs made from his hair and he still wears them to this day."

And you broke him, Vi. He burst out laughing.

Troy felt like he may have used all his creative juices on his story for Vi, so he decided to go with a slightly different tactic here.

"Man," he said, shaking his head before hitching a thumb toward Anakin, "I don't know anything about this guy, all I know is that he levitates glitter."

Look, sometimes, you just read something during your radio broadcast and it stuck with you.

"I'm huge on the birthday party circuit," Anakin said, nodding along.
