There are other players involved but the ones who wanted me were Snoke and Ren.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't want to know simply so I can lose it later. It's too much.

[ohhmrburnsides]

That's... That's not right. We got rid of Kalen. We—

Wait, Julia? Holy shit— [His face turns red and his smile is just. Uncontrollable.] Julia Waxmen? That's gotta be wrong. No way. She is, like, way outta my league, dude. Naw, I don't buy it.

[Then his smile disappears. It's clear he's lingering on the murdered part now, but he says nothing about it. There's a long pause before he speaks again.]

I don't use the chalice? Why wouldn't... But I'd have to have. I'd do anything for Raven's Roost. [His attention is turned away from Taako now; he's talking at the air, and he's getting angrier.] That's what the chalice was made for, that's—It's not like I'd fall victim to the thrall, I made the damn thing—Why the hell wouldn't I—

[He doesn't realize how deep he's dragging himself until he punches the wall and shakes the elevator. A pause.]

Sorry.

[winscenario]

I'm guessing you don't believe in that saying, then? Better to have loved and lost...

[ He watches Loki, though, his gaze understanding. It's a truthful answer, which is a rarity coming from Loki, and he genuinely appreciates that. ]

[livingsymbol]

[ That question strikes him. It's sort of a shock to hear it even though it's a valid one. ]

I would come back for you.

[jedies]

[ Hmm. Collecting force-users? Still. Rey is too old to be molded. ]

It is hard to understand the scale without more details.

[talentedscavenger]

[Doesn't mean she can't be trained.]

I don't want to upset you again.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki snorts lightly. ]

Thor believes it. That we grow and change through love. But Thor has always been more gifted, more easy to love. So he can speak with knowledge and magnanimity.

It is not so easy for me.

[spellslots]

[Even when he's angry and lashing out, Taako isn't scared of Magnus. He steps back to give the guy some room, waits out the punch, and then steps forward again to rest a hand on Magnus's arm.]

You said she wouldn't want you to do it.

[That seems like enough of an answer.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Oh. Loki cups Steve's face tenderly, overcome. ]

Do you want to? I would try to let you go.

[winscenario]

Well, I like you. From what little we talked, anyway. Thor looks too much like my dad, it's weird.

[ Well there goes something he didn't mean to bring up. ANYWAY. ]

Maybe you should dye your hair. We blondes tend to be more popular, or so I'm told.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki blinks, caught off guard by that simple expression. ]

I would look terrible with blond hair.

[jedies]

[ Obi-Wan sighs quietly. ]

It is far into the future. Most likely, all that I knew and loved has passed on into the Force. It is no longer my fight to bear.

[flowlikewater]

[ He sighs, his shoulders drooping a little. ]

I mean, that is the entire point. You do not remember.

[imperceptus]

So you think you're a monster?

[ He cants his head to one side. ]

Bet that puts a damper on relationships.

[winscenario]

I would say you won't know until you try, but... yeah, it probably wouldn't be very flattering on you. [ He shrugs. ] Oh, well. You still have the whole 'tall dark stranger' thing going for you.

[imperceptus]

I'm invested in survival.

[ None taken. ]

[dothelokimotion]

I hear those are the kind you fear in rat-infested alleys, are they not? Or do people now measure attractiveness by how dangerous the individual is?

[dothelokimotion]

It puts a damper on everything. That is how pervasive it is.

[spellslots]

Right, you're from a real shitty world.

[It's hard to remember sometimes, because even if Taako and Lup didn't exactly have an easy life, it wasn't at the level of casual talk of slaves and murder and whatever the hell went on in Rin's version of the Underdark.]

You know we're not a threat, yeah? You don't have to worry with us.

[He knows that Rin is friends with Lup, too, so he can speak for both of them here.]

[talentedscavenger]

[She has to think about this for a moment, picking and choosing her words carefully.]

The First Order built a star ship so great, it destroyed 3 planets. Starkiller base was destroyed, but they are willing to destroy as many lives as possible to gain control.

For Snoke and Kylo Ren...there are very few sensitive to the Force..let alone be able to use it. I didn't know what I could do until I had to force Kylo Ren out of my mind. I had never done anything like that before.

[ohhmrburnsides]

... That doesn't make sense.

[But he's done lashing out. Shamefully, he looks at the ground as he speaks.]

But she's a lot smarter than me.

[After another beat, he looks back at Taako.]

Why didn't you wanna tell me, again?

[winscenario]

[ Jim laughs, shaking his head. ]

Okay, fine, 'tall dark and handsome'. It's definitely a thing, trust me. Some people love brooding, mysterious guys. Or girls.

[spellslots]

[This would be super if he could blink out of here, right now.]

Because it's— because you're happy, now, and things are easy and I dunno what's gonna change if you're thinking about your future wife.

[imperceptus]

[ He shakes his head, makes a 'tch' noise in his throat. ]

I actually don't know that. Not to any degree of satisfaction.
