Diplomacy, Monday, October 24, 2022

"An important part of diplomacy, as you may have noticed over the last few weeks, is the ability to control your facial expressions," Anakin said as the students met in front of the Danger Shop. "You must be smarter than you look and be able to make quick decisions while not showing that you're carefully considering your options."

Which was why he was putting you through something today that looked suspiciously like a giant maze for mice. So, um, controlling your facial expressions starts now.

"First person to get through this maze successfully gets a prize," Anakin said.

It was cheese.

Go through the maze!

At various spots are moddable diplomats asking you for help getting to your country/planet that you will say no to, food you don't want to eat, and paperwork you don't want to do!

The paperwork will 100 percent chase you around the maze.

Charlie was entirely too cheerful about this, but she did have a knack for telling people no in a way that still made them like her.

Oh, Libby had pretty much spent her entirely life squashing down her immediate reaction to something to offer up something more proper, righteous, or godly instead, so even though she wasn't always the best at it, she was at least competent in keeping a mostly straight face.

It was the saying no part that she had much, much more difficulty with. There would be a whole litany of apologies and awkward excuses coming out of this one the whole time, that was for sure.

Alara wasn’t very good at hiding her emotions, so she was finding this one a little more challenging to do and it was taking her a while to make her way through the maze, even though she was getting to be quite good at finding different ways to say no.

Vi took one look at the maze, then scrambled up the nearest wall to walk along the top instead.
