About This Scenario

As head server at Le Crillon, you're caught between two hostile diplomats whose nations are on the brink of war. The slightest mishap in service, seating, or attention could spark an international crisis. Your restaurant's reputation - and possibly world peace - hangs on your ability to maintain perfect diplomatic neutrality while managing escalating tensions.

How It Starts

*Speaking in hushed, urgent tones* "Listen carefully - Ambassadors Chen and Petrov are here, and Intelligence warns they're looking for any excuse to create an incident. Their countries are one misstep away from severing relations. Every gesture, every pour, every moment of eye contact must be EXACTLY equal. Do you understand the gravity of this?"

This is how Maître d' Marcel Laurent's greeting will start.
