Try Not to Die, Monday, September 18, 2023
Inspired by the party on Friday, today's diplomacy class would find themselves in the Danger Shop surrounded by hundred of computer-generated party guests. Anakin strode through the crowd, Jedi cloak swirling around his boots. "It's not all fun and battles in the life of a diplomat," he said, gesturing around at the party with a slight wrinkle to his nose.
Because Anakin would prefer a firefight to passed appetizers, the weirdo.
"Sometimes you have to go to these...contact-building exercises, where everyone has their own agendas and information they are trying to retrieve from others. Today you'll practice that." He held up a pile of business cards. "I have created these for each of you. Your goal today is to retrieve two from your classmates, demonstrating that you have engaged in small talk. I will be making my way through the party. My job will be to waste your time so you cannot use the party in an effective manner."
Because there was always someone at the party would stayed in a conversation entirely too long.
He waved his hand and music started. "You may begin."

"Well for one, they're really hung up on what species the officiant is. Which is just -- I guess not 'racist' exactly, but definitely something."

Gonzo shrugged. "It's okay. People are starting to get a bit more open to someone identifying as a 'whatever' these days."

"I hope so! I have a great speaking voice!"
It was . . . sure a distinctive speaking voice, anyway.
