[Private to Count Dooku.]

I am ready to move forward.

If you think you can handle me.

[/]

[Private to Luke Skywalker & Kylo Ren.]

I made a speeder. It doesn't hover far off of the ground, but with the right propulsion, it could. Now I just need to account for atmospheric changes or we will suffocate before we get very high.

The Force could get us off the ground if we really needed to go that route. I need to know what kind of control you have and how reliable it is.

[Family meeting?]

[/]

No one really thinks about it, but stars do die. I saw one once and I will never forget it.

[Ominous words, but that dead emptiness is always part of him.]

On that note, I do not plan to join them any time soon. If you come across...parts...of thugs, well, they had it coming, didn't they?

[Why are all the Skywalkers so dramatic? He is really starting to understand where Kylo Ren gets it all from.]

Of course stars die, it's common knowledge.

Is there a reason for all this announcement?

text;

[prophesiedone]

[Because life is dramatic.]

Was it easy for you to see one?

I guess I'm encouraging people to live for the moment...the day. And not to steal from me.

[devoutish]

Likely those stars lived so long because they didn't advertise their crimes on a public network.

[prophesiedone]

Self-defense is a crime?

[text]

[couldbebeautiful]

What the hell is your damage? Why are you talking about dismembering someone on a public network?

[text]

[prophesiedone]

It was a fair warning. I'm getting tired of having to repeat myself in person.

[bindsthedead]

All things die. Accepting that is part of being wise.

But there is no need to kill people. Or is that the only way you have of defending yourself?

text

[prophesiedone]

All things don't have to die. Accepting that is only for the weak.

It's hard to hold my punches.

I have enough control to get a speeder off of the ground, though I've never attempted any such thing.

[ He can likely pilot any ship in the Galaxy (thanks, dad) - he's confident of that - but he's never used the Force to get one off of the ground. It's something that hasn't even crossed his mind. ]

How did you build a speeder? I'd like to learn.

[text]

[prophesiedone]

It's time. We would need to combine our energy to keep it going. Sleep in turns. It should get easier in space, but then we need to have a way to breathe and some atmosphere scrubbers just in case...

[This is his passion, really. Building. Making things better and more efficient.]

From a car. I've reworked it so it's sleeker and faster.

[ghoulking]

Admitting to crimes over the network usually doesn't go well. [ but you do you ]

[ text ]

[prophesiedone]

People keep calling it a crime, but, really, all I did was defend myself.

Private Text

[stretchy_girl]

Parts of thugs? Someone's been busy. I wouldn't advertise the fact quite so obviously if I were you.

Private Text

[prophesiedone]

I wouldn't want someone to come across an arm and wonder. That would be a nasty surprise!

Watching a star die will change a man. Really makes him think about his place in the galaxy.

text;

[prophesiedone]

You've done it? I saw the star...afterwards. It was...

Sad.

[Text]

[faithfulson]

Really?!

[ What, it had only been two months? His father really was amazing with building things. ]

Is there a way to find out the atmospheric composition of this planet? A detailed description, not the basics. If we have that, we could at least made an attempt at a specialized scrubber. It won't be good for going into other planets, but at least we can enter and leave this one until we can build something better.

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

Really.

[Don't be so adorable, Luke.]

No idea. It's not like we have the usual tools at our disposal. I guess we could compile weather reports if nothing else? Come to our own conclusions. I've visited a lot of planets. This one has to be like some of them.

Passing a death sentence isn't something to be done casually.

Text

[prophesiedone]

They might have survived. Lightsabers cauterize wounds.

[text]

[pummelgranite]

Of course stars die. Just because you're immortal doesn't mean you'll live forever.


How many people are chewing you out for talking about murders in public?

[text]

[prophesiedone]

Actually that's exactly what being immortal means.

Enough. They haven't really changed my thinking.

I saw a planet die once. Not a supernova, but it packed a punch anyway.

( Her gaze sharpens, and yes, she is judging him very hard for what he's just bragged about. Is he stupid? )

Okay, so: first of all, what does a supernova have to do with you murdering people? And second, you'd better hope you don't run into me.

( Because her temper's been set off, and she's of a mind to punch hard enough to propel someone into space. )

Must've been a sight. [Seeing things - life, light, energy - come to an end sticks with him; makes his fear grow. The darkness gains more of a foothold and the dragon awakens to protect; to stop the inevitable.]

There is a lot of support for thugs, I've noticed. [Where is the love for the lightsaber wielding victim?] That isn't very nice.

[Text]

[purple_reign]

Really? I haven't seen one die personally, but I was very close to the death of one once. It's not as rare an occurrence as I'd like.

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

I'd like for it to be a nonexistent occurrence. [Of course he equates it with losing loved ones - and just loss in general.] I saw one after the fact.

[reexamined]

Really? You haven't heard of the classic saying: When you wish upon a star, bear in mind it may already be dead and you're wishing on the dying rays that have made their way millions of lightyears later across a dark, indifferent void?

I thought that was a well known one.

[Sarcasm, of course.]

I hope you already buried the bodies in an undisclosed location.

[prophesiedone]

That one I've never heard, but even if I did, that's way too long to remember. [He has no shield for sarcastic droids.]

Maybe. There are plenty of places in a city for it.

[text]

[carbonfrozen]

because that was definitely something we needed

thoughts about stars dying

also you couldn't be a little more discreet about it?? this isn't Tatooine

[Yes, that's what Han objects to. The fact that Anakin went and blabbed about it. Like, come on, if you're going to dismember someone, you shouldn't be talking about it over the network.]

[text]

[prophesiedone]

It's a good reminder, isn't it? Life isn't a given. [Unless you are the strongest.]

Discreet? I wasn't even discreet on Tatooine. [Slaughtering a whole village of Tusken Raiders is not discreet.]

[golder]

The act of beheading someone and displaying their head on a spike over the city gates as a warning doesn't seem to be the norm here.

( It brings Joffrey to mind, and that's not a good thing in this case. )

Crowing so loudly about it will likely incur the wrath of others. Why would do that?

( Either he's supremely confident in himself or lacking in wits. Which scenario is worse is entirely debatable. )

» text

[prophesiedone]

I'm not sure that wouldn't do some good. People don't really learn without visual lessons in my experience.

[Now that's an interesting contest. Anakin is definitely scarier than Joffrey, but no less insane.]

I like to live dangerously.

Private

[dun_moch]

We shall soon see. Come to this place at midnight tonight. Then we will find out just what kind of Sith you really are.

[And the Count sends along the address of the building in the first prompt of this log.]

Quite bold of you, to disclose your defensive activities so publicity. As you can no doubt see, there are many here who disapprove of such strength.

Private

[prophesiedone]

I'll be there.

[Because he needs to move forward...beyond what Sidious can teach him. So he can kill him.]

I don't care. They can hunt me - or try; it will make things more interesting.
