I don't suppose there's a workshop on the grounds. For those who need them, I can do basic mechanical repairs. [ and more than basic but those tend to require specialized tools that he's kind of lacking at the moment. ] Contact me privately, and we'll work out a deal.

For those who don't, I've learned that not many here were accustomed to interstellar travel prior to our recruitment. [ anakin lingers idly on the word “recruitment.” someone’s a tad furious. but he carries on in the same even tone of voice. ] I’m curious as to your worlds. Where you’re from, how far you’ve managed to explore.

[ general you there. he doesn't care to know about anyone's trip to the grand canyon.

someone please tell him, in detail, about the grand canyon. ]

And Finn? Check in. [ he did promise ok. this is him coming through. ]

[Rude, he would never hide from you. :'(]

Of course you did. Perhaps now we may continue our discussion without further interruption.

[apoptotic]

I don't know. I'm tempted to hit 'end' now.

[ he isn't going to. for whatever reason, he wants to hear what ren is so desperate to tell him. but the prospect of hanging up on him is tempting. ]

[sololoquy]

Then do so. I would prefer to have our discussion in person. As I am sure you would.

[Since it's hard to pick out lies when you can't make eye contact and all that. That aside, he knows FN-2187 and Poe Dameron are both there. He is not going to let them have the advantage here if he can help it.]

[ ren has him there. anakin clicks his mouth shut, tongue sticking to the roof of his mouth. this is what he wanted, after all. to settle this. one way or another. ]

The village. Ten.

[ away from interruptions. minimal collateral damage. and not enough time for kylo ren to spring a trap. ]

[sololoquy]

As you wish. Rest assured, should you refrain from coming alone, I will not be so kind as I was previously.

[Though he doubts Anakin is interested in an audience anyway. Ren certainly isn't.]

[apoptotic]

[ so kind. first threatening him to hand over an injured man. then choking finn, and daring to do so in front of him. anakin's exhaled chuckle is a humorless thing. ]

This time, I promise not to make you cry.

[ and he disconnects. future scourge of the galaxy. ]

[sololoquy]

[Maybe it's worth not being born to instead kill Anakin Skywalker. It's sorely tempting.]
