[Dooku's voice on the Network is difficult to miss: deep, resonant, rich, and inexplicably British despite him being from space.]

Good evening, my friends. As his probation officer, I feel it is my duty to inform you that Death the Kid has departed from this universe.

[Pause]

A pity, really. He only had a few days remaining on his sentence. I was looking forward to recommending his freedom from government supervision.

Now then, there is another matter I wish to discuss. I have been considering the role of emotion in the matters of power. ImPort abilities often seem tied to how we feel. Passions such as anger and fear can threaten our control, yet they can also spur our powers to greater heights in times of need.

In my Galaxy, there are two philosophies which have debated these issues for many thousands of years. One believes in the denial of passion. They insist upon tranquility and harmony. It is their belief that only a calm heart, without attachments, can attain true wisdom in serving others. They do not even allow themselves to fall in love...

[The Count's voice drops slightly, becoming a touch darker.]

The other perspective calls this a lie. It accepts passion as the truth of all living things, and draws power from it. It teaches that even the strongest of emotions can be embraced, and disciplined, and used to great effect.

I would be interested to know what my fellow imPorts think on this matter. Are our feelings to be repressed, or embraced? Which path do you believe will lead to greater fulfillment?

[Talk to the Sith Lord about feelings, Network. Also, if you're tagging him for the first time it's a good idea to check out his permissions post!]

So many exciting titles. And some that you don't find flattering, I'm sure. I have them too. What is it my brothers call me? "The Adversary"--that's my favorite.

[ But he makes an assertive noise in response to the rest. ]

We can meet. The timing is up to you. I can go anywhere, any time. I don't sleep. But my church, in Miami, is my sanctuary. If you're worried about any kind of ears, they won't hear you hear. My magic prevents it.

The Adversary? How very fitting for you.

[The Count considers for a moment. Miami is a long way to travel, and the last time he met someone in his sanctuary, it turned into a lightsaber duel. Yet at the same time, Dooku is curious to see what the Adversary has created for himself in this world- what assets he has to offer the cause.]

I believe I will take you up on your offer. You may expect me in Miami sometime soon.

[OOC: Log in June?]

I'll look forward to it, then.

[ ooc: Perfect! ]
