Possibly looking for an additional game...

[neverjoinyou]

Look. I'm flattered, I am, that you enjoy trying to get into my head. But don't you think things are bad enough without looking for more trouble? I'm not doing any good on the Barge, my nephew hates everyone, Sinjir's off plotting with Tarkin and who knows what's going on with me and Han. And Rey... I wish I thought I was more good for her than I do. It's kind of hard to feel good about training her when Kylo Ren is in front of me all the time.

And you're trying to find somewhere else that doesn't already have me? Though now that you mention it, yeah. It's weird there's so many of me around suddenly.

When did you turn into such a wuss?

[neverjoinyou]

I'm confused about what you're basing that assessment on.

ps.. sorry Luke, your dad's kind of a jerk

[dorkvader]

You don't what good you're doing... Kylo is a whiny jerk but you should be all up on changing that right... [You tried to change him for force's sake.] Or showing him how the light is better or something.

You're a Skywalker... blow something up and make yourself feel better then go fix things.

yes that's the first word that comes to mind when I think "Vader"

[neverjoinyou]

You know, I'm not sure how qualified you are to act like you know me.

What makes you think I'm not trying to reach that whin--uh, Kylo?

[dorkvader]

...


... we've talked. [Ok fine. But he didn't know you existed, shut up!]

It sounded like you were avoiding him because he makes you feel inadequate or something.

[neverjoinyou]

That's a lot to read into what I said. Actually he would probably like me to avoid him more.

[dorkvader]

You have an apprentice [you're growing up so fast!] and it makes you uncomfortable to have him around.

You must fear he will bring her to the darkside. [Or see you as totally incompetent, or both. He'll leave that bit out.]

[neverjoinyou]

[Stop helping, Dad.]

Those two things are not related. Well, not entirely. What am I supposed to feel about knowing I failed him?

Anyway, Rey won't turn to the dark side.

[dorkvader]

[He has years to make up for here... Let him, well maybe love is too strong a word here... uh, like? Not hate? whatever, just let him do the thing.]

You still don't understand the power of the darkside. That, is your failure.

Do not make it again with this new apprentice.

[neverjoinyou]

You're lecturing me on how to train?

[dorkvader]

Why, do you think I've never had an apprentice? Because I have.

I was awesome at it.

[neverjoinyou]

How come I've never heard of them?

[dorkvader]

Probably the same reason you didn't know about me until I told you... and I didn't know about your sister until you told me.

[Because a certain Mr. Point-of-View is an asshole. He means you Obi Wan, you old jerk.]

It's a funny galaxy isn't it.

[neverjoinyou]

I'm not sure we learned the same meaning of that word.

[dorkvader]

That would be irony son... you should try it sometime.

[neverjoinyou]

I'm not sure it'd be a good look on me.

[dorkvader]

You'd be surprised. Much like the mechanical hand look. It grows on you.

[neverjoinyou]

Dad.

That is not how mechanical hands work.

[dorkvader]

Not literally, I mean you'd get used to it.

[Hey, at least you only have the one.]

The point is, the darkside will tempt your apprentice. Nothing you do will stop that.

[neverjoinyou]

I don't expect anyone to be above temptation. But they can avoid giving in.

[dorkvader]

[Ouch]

You say that as if it were easy.

[neverjoinyou]

I don't mean to imply that. Denying the reality of temptation would be stupid of me. But I would be without hope if I denied the possibility of resisting it.

[dorkvader]

Hope.

[You sound like your mother. Even in the face of endless war, she was always an optimist. It cost her her life.]

Too much hope is foolish.

[neverjoinyou]

[He always did take after her, even if he doesn't know it.]

I don't know. I survived it.

[dorkvader]

[He got the best of both of them... as did his sister.]

Hope didn't help you with Kylo Ren.
