[The cyborg is waving a letter around angrily.]

What is the meaning of this?! Is this a joke? Count Dooku cannot hide from me. I demand that he show himself.


[ooc: Happening after these letters go out.]

Looks like he's ported out, dude. I don't see his name in the communicator thingy. At least you don't have to have him in your life anymore. You can move on.

[generalgrievous]

He cannot have escaped so easily.

Video

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, unfortunately, that's how it works here. Unfair but true.

Video

[generalgrievous]

[He growls angrily, scrunching the paper in his clawed hand.]

How dare he think he can get away with telling me such things and simply vanishing.

What's it say?

[It's a bit crumpled but Grievous holds the paper up for Jonathan to read:

This letter means that I am gone, perhaps for good. What will you do now, I wonder? Are you even capable of having a life for yourself that is not determined by hatred and vengeance? I doubt it. I only regret that I will not be present to see my expectations confirmed, or to witness the long empty void that lies in front of you. The hollowness of your resentment will consume you entirely, Grievous, and leave you with what you have truly always had: nothing.

Yours most sincerely,

Count Dooku]


It is an insult!

[As always, Dooku's pushed some buttons, frustrating Grievous further.]

[jadus]

I do not sense his presence. He never had any particular aptitude for hiding it. He is gone, and will never remember his actions here.

He returns to the Galaxy with his ambitions unfulfilled. So he and his Order shall remain.

[generalgrievous]

So I should take joy in his departure? That he returns to his demise.

[jadus]

You ask a Sith to judge your feelings. I will not.

There are others who pose greater threats. My focus remains on them.

[generalgrievous]

Who are these threats?

[photophobic]

[ Kylo's upset, himself. Having received a letter of his own, having reached out to try and find the familiar cold resistance of the Count's presence, he knows the truth. ]

He is gone.

[generalgrievous]

How dare he leave before fully paying for his crimes.

[As if Dooku had a choice.]

[photophobic]

What further payment would you have asked of him?

[generalgrievous]

His endless suffering.

[photophobic]

To match yours?

[prophesiedone]

I actually feel like I can breathe easier. [No, he's furious. Dooku, you butt.]

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

You can sense his absence... It must be a relief to have such a weight from you.

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

He also sent me a letter. It was...charming. As you would expect.

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

What did he say to you?

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

Oh that I am doomed, basically. [Dark Side forever; Darth Vader forever.]

[ghoulking]

IF you check the communicator user list, you'll see he is no longer there. Count Dooku was ported-out.

video

[generalgrievous]

How did this happen? Who makes this choice?

video

[ghoulking]

The Porter. [ he thought it was common knowledge ]

video

[generalgrievous]

[He did know that much but wondered if maybe there was also some individual choice in leaving. Anything was possible when the Count was involved.]

So he truly had no free will of his own.

video

[ghoulking]

No, he did not. And I doubt he wanted to return. [ Dooku never expressed his desire to do that, after all. When Dooku wanted something, he was vocal about it. ]
