[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.

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.]

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

Preparation for what, exactly?

I will be Emperor of my galaxy.

[...

...well. All righty then.]

You, uh. You don't say.

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

Seems a bit presumptuous, if y'ask me.

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

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?

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

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

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

Uh-huh. Not presumptuous at all.

It's not.

Who are you to judge anyway?

[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?

[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.

[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?

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?]

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.]

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

Pretty arbitrary, don'tcha think?

[For all the frosted edge to the implications to his words, his tone is nothing short of its typical jovial, lazy drawl.]

Got some kinda issue with a system of checks and balances?

Only that it doesn't work. [He doesn't quite snap.] People die for no reason or for petty reasons and there is no one to hold them responsible.

And puttin' one person in power would, uh, magically fix all that?

[Buddy. Pal. Fella.]

Hate to break it to ya, but nobody's that powerful. Not even somebody with a real Force of nature at their disposal.

Not magically. I would work my tail off and I wouldn't be alone. I'd just be at the head of it all.

[Difference, bro.]

You haven't seen what I can do.

[That elicits a faint hum of sound that approximates a sigh, or somethin' near enough to it for a creature without lungs.]

Sometimes, what you end up thinkin' is right ain't always so. And sometimes you don't realize that if you think you're the only one worth listenin' to.

[He learned that lesson a little too well. Hell, Asgore learned it just as easy. Problem is, both of 'em dug themselves in a little too deep to back away from it by the time they realized it.]

[You're singing to the choir, Sans. Anakin has fallen under Palpatine's control, but only temporarily. He plans on slaying him and thus burying all the horrible things he has done with him. Good plan, right?]

Who said I'm only listening to myself? I will need people who council me; people I can trust.

[Figures. Why even try, right?]

But, hey, 's like you said: the one with all the power makes all the rules. No reason anyone should, or could, contradict ya, right? 'Cause why would they, when they run the risk of, I dunno - angerin' the Force, or what have you?
