[Its been many years since Kylo Ren has been near anything that resembled a mining colony. Needless to say, he isn't impressed -- but interestingly enough, his face doesn't appear to talk about how unimpressed he is.

It becomes fairly clear that he is not in the center of town, as he is meant to be. Instead, Ren is crouched by the body of a bandit who still appears to be alive, if not beaten within an inch of his life and barely conscious enough to realize he's being broadcasted. Kylo is without his helmet this time.]

I am certain a few of you have already discovered a degenerate or two. They like to travel together, and are under the false impression that their numbers will increase their chance of success.

[He turns the man over using the Force, eyeing with something that could be called casual indifference.]

Nevertheless, I would recommend continuing to tread carefully, if you are inclined to such things. Remaining in town, if you are not.

[ooc: He can be tracked here if you would prefer action to network replies.]

[ Kylo Ren, why ]

Speaking for the degenerates, that's a tad ... [ they had a conversation about this once. about justice. ] Harsh.

[You already know the answer to that.]

Hardly. They are all breathing.

[A pause. All things considered, they got off despicably easy, enough that he likely would have been scolded for such generous treatment if he were anywhere else.]

Unrestrained. No burns. Given a chance to defend themselves.

[Probably a broken rib or two, but that's fine.]

[ he absolutely knows the answer to that. ]

And what will you do with them now that you have them?

[ given, they had gotten caught. ]

Edited 2016-10-09 13:37 (UTC)

I am open to suggestions.

["Kill them" is not entirely off the list, after all. That had been his initial plan, after making an example of them.]

Informants is always a good option.

[He pauses. Yes, he'd played the torture hound many times.]

I do not think them quite so organized to imagine any of them to be "informed" of anything.

[ THAT'S NOT WHAT HE MEANT. ]

Then you're not using your imagination.

[are you sure? Still, he'd have to be some kind of idiot not to understand what Loki is trying to do, so he simply looks off in another direction in the most passive aggressive not-eyeroll gesture ever.]

I suppose that is another option.

[ there's a flat, dubious tone of voice. ]

Unless you find yourself fond of violence. That gets rather messy.

[ In Essos, most must fend for themselves, and any brotherhood of robbers already knows well the risk of plying their trade. Had these men known what Kylo Ren was, perhaps they would not have attacked.

Her voice comes swift and cutting, a slice in its rebuke. Dany has always misliked casual cruelty. ]

Enough. They have learned their mistake.

[Ren's spine goes unexpectedly sharp in the video feed and his attention comes back to the jewelry -- after all, it was rare that anyone dared to attempt to speak with any authority over him.

Of course, it was a little more complicated, coming from Dany. He closes his fist, lets his hand drop to his side.]

One might hope.

Jesus, how much of a threat could they be. You're flippin' them like its Fourth of July and you got tasked to the barbecue, Chef.

[ Since you fucking annihilated them all it looks like. ]

Freaky spoon-bending esper shit, right there.

[He understood about half of that message. Ren squints suspiciously -- wasn't everyone meant to speak galactic basic here???

But "freaky" was often how Han Solo had described the Force, so he can take a stab at what Miles is TRYING to say.]

It is called the Force.

[ if by "speak galactic basic" you mean "sing david bowie's 'starman'" backwards and forwards", then yes. ]

Yeah, sure. You say "the Force", I say [ medium or well-done ] -- nevermind. How's the level of organization with these assholes?

[ Clarifying: ] Weapons.

[Oh good, he wants information. Kylo Ren is best at that, so he decides to take the stranger's advice and ignore the first part of what he'd said.]

Primitive. They are largely thugs, traveling in packs. Organization only goes as far as to know who is the strongest among them. Minimal leadership, from what I have observed. Though I have not gone far.

So, it's like reliving middle school. A bunch of inbred, knuckle-dragging assholes trying to be tough.

[ He has no weapons to his person. It may make travel precarious. ]

Where would you say their numbers are thin? I got places to go and don't have the patience.

No, I would not. They are sloppy, but they are many.

[It just doesn't matter to him, because space magic. But in that moment, Ren is granted an idea.]

I could be persuaded to escort you.

[ Oh no, your ideas are dangerous - not that he's aware of this (yet). ]

I don't have money, power or really anything to offer. How persuasive does that make me?

Not very. Fortunately for you, I currently happen to be free of any outstanding responsibilities.

[Lucky lucky.]
