What's the point in waiting? I'm ready now. [The urge to cut through all of those who separate him from Padmé and his galaxy has grown too strong.] Stop toying with me and face me. I'm not frightened of you even if you call yourself a "god".

The Force is with me.

Have you heard of something called preparation? There are too many people here who are not ready, who are not trained and will suffer. I suggest you use this time more wisely.

[Stopping and thinking was not this man's strong suit, was it?]

[prophesiedone]

We'll suffer whether we prepare or not.

Besides, I'm ready to take the brunt of it. If that means my death, so be it.

[Nope. He tends to run headlong into the danger without blinking.]

[kingforboth]

Are you actually serious right now? What will happen if you die? Who will you be able to defend then? It's folly to think that you and you alone can defeat what may end up being an entire army.

[Kelson wished this wasn't a text so he could see this man's face.]

[prophesiedone]

I can handle an army. You've never seen what I can do. [He has held back from letting loose. But what is he protecting, really? He needs to go home.]

We'll destroy them.

[prophesiedone]

How is the weapon?

[therewillbeorder]

Protected. There was no damage when we moved.

[ She chooses audio, because he may not want video but she does want to convey more than a text could. Her words are quiet. ]

You're ready. Not everyone else is.

It affects all of us, and they need time.

[ She's not sure if time would help her, but it's not like that's ever mattered. She's learned to put her feelings aside and take what comes when needed. ]

Our best chance is together.

[audio]

[prophesiedone]

Don't tell me you're happy cooling your heels? [Let's go, Ahsoka. Let's see this through.] We will be together. You and I against the Null.

[audio]

[ahsokathegrey]

Of course I'm not happy. But what the rest? [ Fighting with him had taught her to feel the weight of the lives she was risking. He has to be feeling it too. Doesn't he? She's not sure yet how to balance who he is and who he becomes. Always reckless, yes, but he'd cared. She'd known him to care. ] Won't they be better off if they have a chance to prepare?

What's your plan?

[prophesiedone]

Let's face them. We've run enough and played it safe. I'm done with that approach.

[madamdirector]

[ Hoo boy. ]

Right, I got that part. I asked what your plan is. How you expect to actually, you know, not be brutally killed two minutes in?

[utulien_aure]

Not everyone has your gifts, Anakin. Be a little patient, for the sake of those who don't.

And if you want something to do in the meantime, there's work around the Firehouse where we could use some assistance.

Voice

[prophesiedone]

I've been patient. [He's chomping at the bit.] Such as?

[He can't help asking. He is a curious Sith Lord.]

Voice

[utulien_aure]

[Laughing and shaking his head slightly] I hope no one ever made you work with logistics. For your sake and theirs.

[Fingon has a few ideas. Maybe one of them will work.]

We need to make sure all the tools are in working order for emergencies.[A pause] And perhaps find a way to modify them to be more useful if we're attacked here.

Never thought I'd see the equivalent of "come at me, bro" to the gods.

Also, what's The Force? Sounds vaguely threatening.

[prophesiedone]

Today is your lucky day.

The energy that surrounds everything and everyone. The Force can be life itself.

[hasitsthorns]

So it's like... ki?

[toiletseat_girl]

Because I'm absolutely certain the stupid gods care about our threats.
Actually no, scratch that, they don't give a shit.
Neither do the Null.
They'll do their thing when they're damn good and ready, not before.

text

[prophesiedone]

So what should I do? Lay around and rot?

At least they know that I'm ready.

text

[toiletseat_girl]

Not saying that.
If you're ready, it might not be a bad idea to help those of us who aren't get ready, too.
Like it or not, we're all in this shit together.

[unphase]

The Force may be with you, but what about the rest of us?

[prophesiedone]

Get behind me and do your best.

[unphase]

I may have to. My powers are best used for defense. I've been learning some magic, but it might not be enough.
