Do not believe that your own foolish sentimentality is reflected in my motivations, player.

I have sent an Inquisitor after Ahsoka Tano in my place because I have more pressing things to attend to, not because I cannot yet "bring myself" to destroy her.

[resnipstance]

...

You did what now.

[trashlordofthesith]

[well then]

It is of no concern to you, young one.

[resnipstance]

You sent a lackey after future-me, how is that not my concern?

[trashlordofthesith]

Be mindful of your present. Your destiny cannot be altered.

[resnipstance]

Oh yeah? Well then here's a destiny for you, buddy:

Future-me is going to kick your sorry butt from here to Tatooine.

[trashlordofthesith]

She will die, as all Jedi must.

[resnipstance]

Everything dies eventually.

But there's no way I'll go down to a mere lackey. You want me dead, you're gonna have to do me the decency of coming after me yourself. Then we'll see.

[trashlordofthesith]

If she fails, then I shall. You are foolish to hope for such an outcome.

[resnipstance]

Bring it.

[trashlordofthesith]

[ugh. You're giving him *feelings*. He doesn't want *feelings*.]

Leave my sight, or I shall destroy you now. Destiny can be...expedited.

[artisticallydone]

Do you then claim that sentimentality has no place in any of your motives?

[trashlordofthesith]

I serve only my Master, and the Dark Side.

You'd do well to remember your place, Admiral.

[resnipstance]

What, afraid I'm going to beat you?

Sorry, but you're not in luck. My Master taught me to never back down from a fight.

[artisticallydone]

I earned my place by telling the Emperor when he was wrong. You may remember - or forget - that as you wish.

[trashlordofthesith]

Your master was a fool. You are gifted for a mere apprentice; do not allow that to cloud your judgement.

Perhaps that is one lesson I can teach you.

[trashlordofthesith]

You amused him -- nothing more.

[resnipstance]

The only fool I see here is you. Anakin was wiser than you'll ever be.

[artisticallydone]

Of course, Lord Vader.

Sentimentality is not of necessity weakness. What is always a weakness is denying the obvious place that it has in how you act. Your anger, your pride. And, here, the fact that anger and pride have somehow failed to force you to eliminate a Jedi threat personally.

[trashlordofthesith]

[he ignited his lightsaber]

Yes -- one final lesson.

[trashlordofthesith]

I have other matters to attend to. The Jedi is not my priority.

Your presumptions are meaningless.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka, likewise, does the same with both of hers-- her trademark reverse grip on full display. Anakin never was able to train her out of it.]

Just try it.

[artisticallydone]

My conclusions are borne of logic and observation. You depend too heavily on your aura of menace and fear to force your subordinates to avert their eyes. Rarely must you cope with someone who does not.

[trashlordofthesith]

[he raises his hand, and you may feel an uncomfortable pressure on your throat.]

You know nothing of the Force, Admiral.

[trashlordofthesith]

[he lunges forward, faster than he ought to be with that lumbering frame.]

"let's go antagonize darth vader" he said "it'll be great" he said

[artisticallydone]

[ He lifts his chin, but the glow in his eyes does not dim, and there is no corresponding surge of fear, though his throat muscles work reflexively against the grip. ]

Neither does the Inquisitor you sent after a Jedi.
