[Some might recognize the cat - the stray cat that seemed to hate Anakin before - behind said Sith. So what if the fuzzy creature is batting a ball between his paws and being downright charming? So what?]

My talents are going to waste. I'm accepting students, but if you don't show any talent with the Force, I will drop you.

[He wants his own army because why the hell not?]

Ben, you're my first student. [No matter what a certain once-Padawan says! Yes, he is that childish.] Don't be late tonight.

They'll have a connection. Other Force users can sense it. [He pauses.] Do you consider yourself a monster?

[That seems kinda harsh.]

video

[skelebro]

I mean it's kind of a species where I come from.

[Not so much a derogatory thing as a - well, okay, he concedes the derogatory thing might'a come later. If the humans had their way with things.]

video

[prophesiedone]

It's...negative...derogatory...where I come from to be called a monster. I wouldn't want you to think of yourself like that.

video

[skelebro]

I mean, like I said, 's just a species. But, uh, if you're so set on it...

[He trails off, and lifts his shoulders in a shrug.]

You can just call me Sans. Sans the skeleton.

video

[prophesiedone]

Sans, then. I'm Anakin. [Or Darth Vader. You know, whatever.] I've...built...a lot of machines in the past and I was wondering...

How do your bones stay together without muscle and tissue?

video

[skelebro]

[A machine man, huh? He should introduce him to Alphys. 'Cause he seems like a pretty collected and composed individual, yeah?]

I'm guessin' "magic" ain't the answer you're lookin' for here.

['Cause, uh, that's the answer. It's magic.]

video

[prophesiedone]

[His look clearly says he thinks that's a cop out, but if that's the only answer he will get, so be it.]

I guess nothing is impossible anymore.

video

[skelebro]

Not down here, nah. You kinda gotta re-evaluate your perspectives a bit.

[He certainly has. He taps a phalanx against the side of his skull with the tap of bone on bone.]

video

[prophesiedone]

I've been doing a lot of that. [Since before he arrived, really.] Coming here is good preparation for me.

video

[skelebro]

Preparation for what, exactly?

video

[prophesiedone]

I will be Emperor of my galaxy.

video

[skelebro]

[...


...well. All righty then.]

You, uh. You don't say.

video

[prophesiedone]

The Democracy isn't working. I have the power to fix...everything. And I will.

video

[skelebro]

Seems a bit presumptuous, if y'ask me.

[But, hey. He's just a funny man made of bones. What's he know?]

video

[prophesiedone]

I can either sit back, follow the Jedi code, and watch the galaxy descend into chaos or I can do something about it. Which would you choose?

video

[skelebro]

I think it's more than a little possible that you got more than just two choices in that scenario, buddo.

video

[prophesiedone]

No, I don't. I was born to lead; no one has my power.

video

[skelebro]

[Sans answers with his typical indolent skepticism, somehow managing a yawn without parting the teeth of his smile.]

Uh-huh. Not presumptuous at all.

video

[prophesiedone]

It's not.

Who are you to judge anyway?

video

[skelebro]

[He'd laugh at that, really. He would. Who is he to judge, anyway? Good question, pal. Good fucking question.]

Somebody who's seen this song and dance before. [Or, uh, variations on it, anyway. But variations on a theme are still the same theme.] Lemme ask you a question: you're human, right?

video

[prophesiedone]

[He doesn't like to be judged or to feel judged. It sets him off.]

There has never been anyone like me. [Well that's not exactly true. Not that he can name names or place faces.] I am.

video

[skelebro]

[Well buddy pal chum you might not like this next part]

Heh. [He figured.] Then I guess somebody with a special power like that - 's your responsibility to do the right thing, ain't it?

video

[prophesiedone]

What I deem as right. I am a fully trained Jedi [Sith] and I have enough experience to make good decisions.

[Ha ha ha ha... Can he hear the mad laughter?]

video

[skelebro]

And you're the one who decides what counts as "right."

[Boy. And here he was thinkin' he wouldn't know this guy's type.]

video

[prophesiedone]

Shouldn't the one with the most power decide? [Biggest fish in the tank, right here~]
