Accidental Video; Horrible Roommates Being Horrible

[darthvaderfanboy]

[The video turns on haphazardly, staring up as if someone had flung it across the room and accidentally turned it on. Which, incidentally, is exactly what happened. There's a red glare as Kylo's lightsaber comes into view. He slashes at someone just out of view, missing them, and instead taking out part of the couch.]

I've had it with you! I'll make you wish you'd died as a child!

[Then his toe hits the video, sending it spinning and landing in another spot.]

Oh like I'm going to be scared of a pathetic version of Darth Vader. You have no idea how many times I wanted to abandon you on Hoth.

[There is a loud clambering as Hux got out of the way and when the video settles he can be seen with his blaster in his hand, eyes shining with a mad fury.

He raises the blaster and fires a few shots aimed at Kylo, but a few shots hit the walls and destroy the couch.

Kylo blocks the blaster shots with an almost contemptuous ease, his lightsaber twirling in front of him in a back and forth pattern. He stops the last shot in midair, sending it sailing back towards Hux.]

Is that the best you can do? My mother is a better shot, you Tarkin-wannabe.

[Now he was just hitting below the belt.]

You did not-

[Hux barely manages to dodge the reflected blast, which hit the opposite wall, leaving a deep mark. He's back on his feet to fire a few more shots with a growl of fury. He doesn't care where they land, he just wants to make Kylo suffer.]

Oh, please, you just sit and talk to your grandfather's helmet. 'I will finish what you started' - that's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. You're just an embarrassment.

[Kylo goes very still for a moment, the video's skewed perspective making him look about seven feet tall. Everything nearby him begins to rattle with the power of the Force. Then, with a roar of fury, they all lift up, and began hurling themselves at Hux.]

I have more power than you could ever dream of! You think firing off your little superweapon gives you power? You're nothing. Just a bastard who got lucky.

[Hux's expression turns ugly, he's spent his entire life being called a bastard no matter how much he tried to put his past behind him.]

My little superweapon? The superweapon I could use to command the power of the stars when I destroyed the entire Hosnian System? I destroyed the Republic, their Senate, and their entire fleet in a moment while you sulked like a litt-

[He paused suddenly as he noticed the device, walking towards it.] You idiot, you left your phone on.

[Kylo looks over his shoulder at the phone. Great. They'd just broadcast that entire argument to the network. Now everyone knows about the Hosnian System. With a frustrated growl, he picks up a nearby lamp, and throws at Hux's head, not caring if it actually connects or not.]

This is your fault, you smug moron.

[Their physical altercation is done. The bickering is far from over.]

[The names mean nothing to Ikaruga, but she does note the level of destruction described. Mainly, though, she's amused by the unintentional performance they just put on for everyone. The video's also been unintentionally informative about some of their capabilities in battle.]

Oh my. It's been a while since I've witnessed such a dramatic argument.

[Video]

[therewillbeorder]

We had some matters to settle, unfortunately.

[His voice is calm now, they're exhausted from the fighting. Trying to kill your co-commander and roommate is tiring.]

[elegant_and_proud]

Might I suggest that you spend some time apart? Even a walk might be beneficial.

[Especially for their poor neighbours]

[Sans cares very little for altercations between roommates. Even if the, uh, collateral has the potential to be fairly destructive, he's learned that someone with the potential to be destructive won't necessarily utilize that potential, particularly if they don't plan to.

That's not what grabs him.

What grabs him are words like "superweapon" and "destroyed the entire Hosnian System."

Yeah, that kinda cements the opinion he's had of Hux since their last conversation. So he's really only got one word to say to the pair of 'em. Just one.]

superweapon?

[darthvaderfanboy]

Hux's little pet project. The power to destroy planets by harnessing a sun. He can explain more.

[Kylo's not in the mood to explain how he stood by and let trillions of people die in an eye blink. It still keeps him up at night.]

Video

[skelebro]

[He wants video? All right. Sans can do video.

Hope you don't mind skeletons, Kylo. 'Cause Sans is smiling like nothing else.]

And this is typical where you come from, huh?

[therewillbeorder]

Yes, it's called Starkiller

[Why does Kylo always have to ruin his beloved Starkiller in every way.]

[skelebro]

you wanna explain why it's necessary to destroy planets in the first place?

[Better start explaining, Hux. And it'd better be a damn good one.]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh looks thoroughly disgusted with the whole thing. And more than a little sick.]

The Hosnian System. You bastard.

[video]

[therewillbeorder]

I told you I improved on the Death Star and made it obsolete.

[Because that is what is important here.]

[video]

[mismanagement]

That is not an improvement! It violates every rule of military engagement. [If you are going to commit genocide, you must at least do it quietly.]

[iustitiae]

Holy shit you guys.

[thats about all hes got]

[darthvaderfanboy]

The smarmy bastard started it.

[Because it's so mature to blame the other person.]

[From behind Kylo-]

You started it five years ago when you destroyed the long range communication console on my star destroyer.

[They are so mature.]

[iustitiae]

You should probably not be roommates.

Kylo has a few...problems. No one should have to see that.

[He's still picking up pieces of lamp from his hair but still looks smug.]

[iustitiae]

It doesn't sound like he's the only one.

[all this talk of superweapons god]

[Children. Anakin is stunned by their antics and it takes a few moments for their insults to sink in. Darth Vader wannabe? Talking to his helmet?

He looks uncomfortable.]

[Video] 3/3

[prophesiedone]

This is my legacy?

[Video]

[therewillbeorder]

[This is...awkward. There is really nothing he can say about the Skywalker legacy, especially after mentioning the whole helmet thing.]

Ren could better answer that.

Video

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Kylo can only make a sort of garbled cry like he's being strangled. Oh, he's going to kill Hux with his bare hands for mentioning the helmet. He can't even say anything to possibly excuse his behavior. He just sits there, helmeted head hung low. Even without being able to see his face, it's clear he's humiliated.]

{This reminds the Elf far too much of old days, with riotous little brothers and his father and uncle, though their battles were never quite so violent. Usually. They had their moods.

Maedhros ensures the hood of his cloak covers his hair and ears before he speaks, voice cool, if mild.}

It is pointless to lay blame, Younglings. Take responsibility for your actions, follies, and learn to work with them. Work with each other, not against, and you may be stronger for it.

I am not a child.

[All his life he had had to work harder to gain proper respect as a general because of his age and he wasn't going to let someone call him a 'youngling'.

He wouldn't defend Kylo Ren, however.]

There is only so much I can work with him when he does act like a child.

Video

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Youngling? Kylo knew he had a childish temper, but for someone else to point it out was just too much, no matter that it was the truth.]

Tell him that. He's impossible.
