Competition: Grace Under Pressure

Finished
Grace Under Pressure

Prompt: When there's no limits, it's easy to have a knock down drag out fight with your rival. Blasters blazing, fists flying, no holds barred... but sometimes, that's not an option. Sometimes, you're face to face in a setting that you absolutely cannot do anything but talk. What happens when you run into them at an aristocrats party? Or when you're trying to secure a contract with a new client? Or when you're under cover? Sometimes, no matter how much it grates you, you have to play nice or not play at all. Show us how your character will handle that situation.

Rules: In at least 500 words, show us your character at their smoothest. Dialogue can play a huge role in this one, or none at all if they're trying to stay hidden. Nows the time for sneaky feats and searing sarcasm! Show us their grace under pressure!

Submissions: Submissions should be attached as a Word Doc or PDF. No snapshot is required for this prompt.

Grading: Voice Fiction Rubric 3.0

Good luck, and may the Force be with you!
