You are Magnus Faxerus, Sith Acolyte in training.

After touching down on the Sith homeworld of Korriban and being presented with your first trial, you received a vision of Ajunta Pall's spectre being destroyed by a woman the ancient forefather called 'Rev.' The nights after had your dreams visited by something taking the image of this 'Rev' much to your displeasure due to their... risque nature. You lost some of your natural affinity with the Dark Side after rejecting the manifestation unfortunately.

Yang, another acolyte from Hutta, showed off some of his potential to you and told you of several others in your circle of acolytes bearing some abilities of their own. For some strange reason, you can't help but feel like you can trust him: something even he feels about you and also doesn't know why. It could be the Force's will or some kind of similarity between he two of you.

The last important subject you've been dealing with, which is currently in front of you, is Darth Nox, your father's old strike-team ally, Dark Council Head of Ancient Knowledge, seemingly wanton whore for your penis. You, being the hasty idiot you are, took lessons from her in the Force and earned the affection one would have with a productive, attractive slave. Now you must live with the knowledge that a powerful Sith wants you as her concubine to strike back at your father, who she wants as a slave.

You'd hope for that to be all the mischief you run into on Korriban, but you're sure more will come and follow you for when you return to Dromund Kaas.

>(1/2)

Really, she is an insane enigma few could ever understand behind her joyful madness. You're not sure why your father hasn't taken care of her for the good of the Empire, but he must have his reasons. At the very least, you learned some things form her and can still do so when she is willing to part with her secrets for no vulgar favors. Best not to draw anymore of her ire until then.

"I don't understand you at all."

"You're not willing to see things my way, so how would you?" Nox scoffs. "That fear will consume you one day as will the Dark Side, Little Magnus. It's your fate regardless of whether or not you continue pretending to be your father."
>>
>(2/2)

A raised eyebrow is all you respond with before shaking your head. "Send for me when you're in the mood for training."

The woman purrs again as you rise from the ground. "The question isn't when I will be in the mood."

You roll your eyes before making your way out of the dark lord's office.

As if you're in any mood to be most likely degraded as you were in your dreams. The only places you've found comfortable since you've come here are the meditation chambers and the medbay. Yang's likely still resting in bed and bored out of his mind. May as well purge yourself of female temptations with some man time.

It doesn't take you long to return to the place you came from containing your maybe-friend.

"Back already?" The bandaged boy asks.

You nod. "Things didn't exactly go as planned."

"How?"

A hum murmurs in your throat.

Telling him could help you vent but also involve him in your

There's nothing better for you to do than train up your martial abilities. Yang is lacking, which makes him the perfect combat dummy to pummel. Maybe he'll learn something form it or maybe he won't; either way, you get some satisfaction out of this. If the Hutta bog rat hates you or quits over this, he isn't cut out to be Sith.

"Get up, I'm going to teach you how to fight."

Yang blinks. "Here?"

"No." Scoffing, you shoot him a look. "The training grounds, why would I fight you he—" You raise a hand to your chin. "...It would actually help if I end up rupturing a vital organ of yours."

"...What?"

"Get up, we've got training to do."

The whiner sighs before hopping out of his hospital bed.

Both of you make your way to the second floor past visiting lords, other acolytes, and academy staff to where the ever tumultuous training grounds reside.

Mr. Orphan picks up one of the training sabers from the nearest rack and brandishes it towards you. "I'm ready when you are."

A laugh thrums in your chest. "No, you're not." You give the glorified stick a look over. "I didn't say we were going to use training sabers either."

"Well, are we?" Yang lowers his weapon.

Not missing a beat, you stomp forward and punch the lad in the side of his unguarded face.

The would-be acolyte turns his metal weapon to beat the air where your arm would be if you hadn't pulled back, forgoing the rookie mistake of letting pain surprise him. "That was a dirty move!"

You hop back and hold up your hands as your trainee takes a step forward with his weapon already up in the air. "No, I took advantage of a failure in your guard to punish you for not waiting for my instruction."

"So are we starting now, or is this supposed to be some kind of trick?"

Flattening your lips into a line, you stare at the boy.

It would be a very your father move to punch him in the gut while his saber has space from your fist, but that would be a bit too cruel. You came here to train in martial arts though that doesn't mean you can't practice force abilities either. Yang's lacking in both categories however.

>[X] "First, try to carry me using the force."

Despite the practicality of martial arts, force abilities are far more effective and stronger at times. They're not always effective since those skilled in the Force can absorb them like breathing in air, but it can get you places. Your father never put much value on teaching you them other than some basics to counter any force using enemies you may face so neither did you.

The strangest feeling of forgetfulness is dimly in your mind, but you can't figure out why for some reason.

"First, try to carry me using the force."

Yang raises an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Is pushing all you can do like you did the tombs? That can be useful when disrupting an enemy or rushing to get away, but it's not going to do you any good if you can't bash someone with the sheer force of... the force. "

"Ha, punny."

"Shut up and show me how much you can lift."

The boy closes his eyes, sets his blade to his side, and raises a hand only to raise it and open his eyes again. "This isn't another trick is it?"

You roll your eyes and shake your head.

Humming, the Hutt rat resumes his action.

An instinctual alarm sounds in your mind as the primordial soup holding existence together concentrates around your body.

"...Huh, it's hard to get a grip on you."

Raising an eyebrow, you tilt your head. "How?"

"The magic around you is flowing into your body, making it harder to really grab it."

"Why don't you just concentrate on the Force further around it to grab me?"

"Oh yeah, good idea, Magnus." Yang smiles.

You blink as what you just recommended occurs with you being lifted several inches into the air at a gradual rate until you're three feet above ground.

Pulling your arm back, you push it and the Force towards your trainee, blowing him backwards four times the distance he lifted your Sithness.

A girlish cry yelps through the air as he skids across the cold durasteel of the academy floor.

The next several hours of force ability training go by with much history repeating itself.

You Force pretty screamer boy Yang back on to his feet and catch him by the shoulder as he almost falls back thanks to his loss of equilibrium. "Good job, I think you've really improved."

"..N-No more, please."

Chuckling, you hold him in place until he can stand on his own two feet somewhat properly.

He's going to be more fun to be with than you thought.

>[X] Force a training saber to you and duel him, surely he can keep going.

People tend to learn more and faster when they're exhausted or when their are in danger, at least in your experience. Maybe training in life or death circumstances isn't usual, but they've given you results. It's not like he's anywhere near that level of shear exhaustion yet, and you are not even a fifth of your father's level of sheer deadliness.

Holding out a hand, you will the nearest training saber into your hand. "About that..."

The boy steps back, ducks under a half hearted swing of yours, and counters with a stab towards your throat.

You swing down at him, blocking the tip of the practice sword from connecting to your vitals while simultaneously bashing the top of his skull. Taking advantage of his very much assured disorientation, you step forward and push Yang back with a hilt strike to his forehead.

Yang falls back on to the ground with an unceremonious thump. "...Wow, you are actually better than the instructor I found." He raises a hand to massage his head. "If we were using warblades or actual lethal training sabers, I'd be dead."

"A corpse is what you'll be indeed if you don't stand up in the next thirty seconds."

Groaning, the living combat dummy picks himself back up to face your half-hearted wrath.

Two and a half hours or so pass by until you can tell he's improved his fundamentals as well as his understanding of Shii-Cho.

You pick up the bruised sack of cute-looking bandaged meat by the hand and pat him on the shoulder. "Good job, you're still alive and now likelier to die by my hand at the end of the trials."

"Hate you... Hate you so much right now."

"Good, let it flow through you but don't let it take control."

A sigh escapes Yang's lips. "Can't hear you, just hate you."

You roll your eyes and settle them on a reddish-pink girl observing from the training ground side-lines.

She's been there for a while now, but you're not really concerned at all with girls you can vaguely feel through the force. Your whiny man at least leaves an impression and can read your mind. Might be true that she suits the description he gave of an acolyte with potential. Also may be best you ignore that because women are nothing except trouble for you.

It wouldn't hurt to introduce yourself. Not like you'll get involved or she'll live long enough to trouble you with her feminine insanity anyway. You can just walk with her to the nearest spot outside of view and shatter her spine like a toothpick if she proves to be a nuisance. Enough insane women exist in your life enough as is.

You leave Yang where he is and where you hear him collapse again to make your way to the Zeltron.

The pinky begins shaking, noticing you noticing her.

Keeping yourself passive-looking but prepared for whatever may happen, you stroll as nonchalantly as you can.

Ms. Red's involuntary movements only increase while you get closer but she remains in her spot. When you finally reach her, the young woman's shaking intensifies as if she had been scheduled for her execution.

"...Can I help you with something?" You sigh.

"Pleasedon'tkillme!" The girl shoots up, bows, raises her head, and blinks. "I mean, uh, please don't make it painful, too fast, too slow, or use a lightsaber: I would like to die knowing that I really am dying but not too horribly to find peace!" She grabs your hands and lifts them up to the level of her shoulders, green eyes glistening with tears. "I know I don't deserve it but please don't let me die unaware or in agony."

You blink. "...Okay, I wasn—" A softness envelops your lips before another warmth enters your mouth.

The Zeltron slips her fingers between yours as she steals away your first kiss. She slithers her tongue against yours for about fifteen seconds before parting ways with it, a grateful smile on her face. "Thank you."

Standing in complete silence, you stare into the girl's completely innocent eyes.

Little Miss No-Sense-Of-Personal-Space blinks until somehow becoming even redder than she already is. "Oh no! I completely forgot you offworlders consider kissing an intimate act reserved only between lovers!" She bows again. "My sincerest apologies, kill me however you want."

You twitch.

She's the one from the medbay who sacrificed one of the wounded acolytes on the alter.

Also, it seems what you heard about her kind are right: they are complete degenerates.

There are extremely bizarre alien cultures that exist in the galaxy but none that allow such blatant romantic acts to occur between people who don't even know each other. You already find Trandoshans more of a respectable people than whatever filthy deviants the Zeltrons are. If you ever find their home planet, if they even have one, you'll make sure to purge their degeneracy and make them a far more reasonable people.

"Don't tell me your kind just does that with whoever shows you kindness."

"No." The girl raises her head. "Only in great cases of them, like you showed me now."

You scoff. "That is still pitiful and degenerate."

"Someone... hurt you, didn't they?"

Tilting your head, a questioning look forms on your face.

"My show of appreciation for your kindness disturbed you: it was like kissing an akk dog that had been abused."

"Did you just compare me to a mutt?"

"My apologies." She bows again. "I meant no disrespect: you carry yourself around with pride and feel of compassion as all noble hounds do." Raising a finger to her chin, she tilts her head. "Or that's just what I can feel from your surface area emotions."

"...You just barely met me."

"Zeltrons are gifted in empathetic telepathy." The pinky touches your hand with hers again, driving you to move it away. "I can feel... your disgust and shame: it isn't a pleasant feeling."

"Then stay out of my head."

Her eyes glisten "Let me help you, please."

You blink.

This went somewhere all too quickly.

>>
>[X] "I don't even know your name."
>[X] "If your solution is sex, you and I are going to have a real problem."

All of this is far too much for just a first meeting. Very least the woman could do is give you her name before she tries whatever it is she has in mind. If that thing she is thinking of is what you think her degenerate kind would propose, she can die right now. You'll break her spine with your bare hands.

"I don't even know your name."

"My name is Arezoo, and you have nothing to worry about."

Sighing, you roll your eyes. "If your solution is sex, you and I are going to have a real problem."

"The idea of sex repulses you and fills you with shame." Ms Pink raises a hand to her chin. "Positive sexual experiences could help..."

"And we're done here." You spin on your heel and begin walking back to your disoriented maybe-friend.

"Wait! Sex isn't the only thing we can do!"

You slap your own face with your own hand.

Death is too good for her; you must make her suffer.

"Magnus, did that girl just say what I think she said towards you?" Yang groans, head lifted off the cold floor.

"Shut up before I kill you too."

"But she isn't dead though."

Sliding your hand off your face, you glare back at the alien drawing attention to you. "Not yet."

"I can help you!" Arezoo unnecessarily yells once again.

"Keep it down would you?" You scoff. "Now, how exactly do you intend to do that?"

"Just let me be around you: Zeltron's can project their feelings, which I can use to make you feel better whenever you want. If I'm around you long enough, maybe you'll be willing to get over whatever happened to you."

You raise an eyebrow.

One person has quite possibly not definitely and totally didn't mess with your Faxerusy head so there's not much more harm in having someone else not mess with your brains.

The Gayness doesn't exist in Star Wars. Somehow, the setting is advanced to the point sexuality isn't even a subject of debate or classification.

Magnus is just a guy who grew up with a bunch of crazy bitches, like any kid did with a single mother.

Personally, I kinda want to see him get fed up with all the insane women around him and leave to try to find something better eventually.

Oh fuck. What a cluster fuck of a family. Oh! I just remembered. Nox mentioned that Magnus felt like his father. Does that mean he is a grey Sith as well?

That's Count Dooku, and he was just the leader of the CiS, he didn't take Greivous as an official apprentice, as he wasn't force sensitive enough iirc. Ajunta Pall was an ancient sith that took part in the first jedi civil war, and is even old in quest.

Well, it was implied so, but nothing confirmed. Although, when we contacted him telepathically he wasn't really disappointed when we had less dark side affinity than before.

>[X] "Yang, what potential did you see in this alien?"

You can barely notice her through the force, but that could be your current disconnect with it more than anything else. Bandage boy has no reason to lie to you either, which adds more to that theory. It's not like you're looking for an excuse to drop this oddly-named, pureblood-looking degenerate. That would be awfully improper of you to even think about.

"Yang, what potential did you see in this alien?"

"My name is Arezoo."

Glaring, you sneer at the red woman. "Your name is whatever I damn well please to call you by, and I was talking to Yang here; speak when you are spoken to."

Ms Pinky does as you advise, looking very much confused at her own reaction to you putting her in her place.

"...Uh, I just felt something from her. Don't exactly have a lot of experiences with other force people. She just felt different from everyone else in our pod of acolytes"

"Really?" You literally look down at your maybe-friend. "She got picked out just because she felt different? I can barely feel her in the Force."

"Well, I'm not you, okay?" The man lifts up his upper body.

Sighing, your focus turns back to your new red alien.

The girl points to her lips.

"Yes, you can speak."

"I can't help you if you don't want to be helped." Arezoo brushes her hand over your own. "I don't want to hurt you like whatever did."

You thin your own plump lips out against one another.

She seems genuine, but you have no idea what she wants from this.

>[X] Is this all part of your tests, father?"

Everyone wants something in this life and in this galaxy. If there was someone who did not want for anything, they would not be alive or sentient: nothing more than a festering corpse. You've noticed women tend to want more than men do but often change their minds far too frequently to ever gain any satisfaction or joy from it. More should be like yet not like your mother, someone satisfied with what she got—a Sith lord who just so happened to become the second most powerful person in the empire.

"I'm not going to carry you through the trials if that's want you want from this."

"Oh no, I fully expect to die by your hand or someone else's. I just hope whoever it is kills me the way I ask them to."

You scoff.

If one expects to die or doubts their ability to live, they will die.

"What exactly can you do with the Force?"

"Um." Arezoo raises a finger to her chin. "I can run really fast and jump pretty high."

"Force reinforcement, which already makes you stronger than this rookie." You kick Yang in his side, eliciting a cry.

"We just spent the last few hours improving my abilities in the force and in combat!"

"Reinforcement has the fortunate and unfortunate use of making someone weaker exponentially stronger." You point a thumb at the alien. "Pinky here could probably throttle you with your slow reaction times, which means she's better than you."

"Oh come on!" Yang whines.

Rolling your eyes, you laugh.

What an odd little crew you've stumbled upon: an orphan with a strong mind and an alien who can feel them yet throttle people.

You sigh.

Is this all part of your tests, father?

I cannot be held accountable for sheer coincidence.

...I'll take your word for it even though I didn't really want to ask you.

Farewell, Magnus.

You roll your eyes.

Whether it be the Force or coincidence, this can't end well.

Sith customs and doctrine insist on survival of the fittest. In SWTOR, that is exactly what the Sith Academy on Korriban ensures. Acolytes are discouraged from killing each other in public because doing something so blatantly will get you taken down by more skilled players. Of course, hand-picked Darth apprentices typically get special treatment by having witnesses to their assassinations taken out for them.

You and your father are Sith but you're not exactly the typical Sith Jedi view you as or Sith that have never met you.

Aw, a part of the charm of women like Nox is their propensity to rape... oh well.
Hmm... then I'll have to genuinely consider that route carefully...
Besides that, how much longer does Magnus has before he's going to kill all the acolytes to complete the course here. A month? And what was he planning on doing afterward?

>>
>>4132109
Making a bunch of blaster is probably too technical for Magnus atm, but what about a mirror array, or refraction array? If we could get a legit laser weapon it would be stupidly deadly, and deployable in any situation. Personally, I'm leaning more towards training up our sith alchemy skills in the direction of modifying ships, since a truly customized sith alchemist warship is close to indestructible, and fast as fuck.

Almost everyone in the galaxy has a use, even if that use is fertilizing the soil of a planet with their freshly dead carcass. You'll tolerate the alien's presence so long as you may need her or until she dies. Killing on a whim is unlike you and beneath you anyway despite the violation of your lips by her plumper, softer, and significantly pinker ones.

"Alright, I will kill you if you betray my trust though."

The red girl squeals, moves to your side, and grabs your arm. "Thank you, I promise I'll help you as best I can!"

"...How have you not processed that I do not enjoy being touched by you?" You twitch before pulling yourself free from little miss No-Sense-Of-Personal-Space.

"Forgive me." She looks down at the ground, lowering her head. "Your kind are so unused to and uncomfortable being loved. It's...depressing."

"Life isn't all fun and games, who would've thunk?" Yang rises from the ground.

A laugh escapes your lips. "Let's all have lunch together, it's about time."

Following your lead, the two acolytes trek behind you from the training floor down to the mess hall.

The three of you each get your pick of the day's lunch meals and sit yourselves down at your own private table.

Arezoo tries sitting at your side before ultimately settling by Yang's, making him uncomfortable with her head laying against the crook of his neck.

You resist the urge to cackle madly at the sight of the orphan experiencing unwanted affection for a change.

Little Red just might have a use after all.

Nah. Magnus has solidified himself as a non-asshole sith by this point. In fact he runs in the opposite direction enough that the visions he gets from the force about his deepest desires are primarily him getting raped.

But then, accepting someone above you and enjoying people stepping on you is very counter intuitive to the sith mindset of "might makes right" and "survival of the fittest".

>>4133083
Yeah, which Magnus reflected on himself. He's aware of it but disregards it because it's who he is. It's the main reason he'll never be like other sith actually.

>>
>>4133096
The sith don't really care if you're submissive, they care more if you can split them in half with the force, personal disposition is mostly seen as secondary, right?

Well, I'm the kinda guy who likes honesty, Magnus being true to himself is something I'd like to see. And yeah, s'long as character integrity is maintained it will be enjoyable.
>>
>>4133127
I suppose power is what matters, but when you surrender power to others there are two ways it can be perceived.

"Shit, he's so strong that he gives no fucks about letting someone else walk over him for personal enjoyment because his rep will tank the hit"
OR
"Huh, he likes being walked all over huh? Lets go oblige him"

One is a minor hit to the rep and only really matters in high politics. The other is a cry of "I'm a weakling, come bully me" until we kill or maim enough of them.
>>
>>4133134
Yeah, I do prefer the former over the latter, although...
>until we kill or maim enough of them.
sounds like the perfect way to train a sith tbqh
>>
>>4133143
Been trained.

If we genuinely want to get better, we need bigger fish or more stimulation without being molested.
>>
>>4133160
>been trained
we're in the process of undergoing more training on Korriban as we speak...
And it's not like the path of the sith is one that ever ends once you complete any specific training, given they want to acheive ultimate power by going higher and higher.
But if we had a reputation for wanting to be walked over, the more people we beat up while resisting, the more we'd end up attracting stronger and stronger people to try to get us under their foot, cause we'd show what useful bait we are. And while I like the being so strong nobody fucks with you even if you enjoy servitude, you still have to get that strong in the first place while having those kinds of feelings.

>[X] "Arezoo, have you noticed any other acolytes with potential?"
>[X] "Where did you come from? It's a surprise to me that no other acolyte has made an attempt at your life."

Yang's opinion has more value than hers, but you're starting to doubt that thanks to the alien being herself. Really, you're going to want to avoid listening to anything he says if this happens again. Another insane woman in your life was the thing you needed the least after all your experiences so far in both your life and on Korriban. Someone more amicable and moldable is just what you need after this disappointment; though, you doubt the pink girl can hand one to you.

"Arezoo, have you noticed any other acolytes with potential?"

The girl takes a bite out of an odd foreign fruit shaped much like a thermal detonator. "One of those adorable kitten people, the poor thing is riddled with fear; a Twi'lek who's pain and anger..." Her emerald eyes sparkle as she gulps down her bite of fruit. "Makes him want to end it all after slaughtering everyone in this place... And a Zabrak, tranquil for her kind, intrigued by the Force's ability to make someone of value."

A hum builds in your throat.

Mr. Bog Rat told you as much; although, he didn't name the exact species of them on account of being an uneducated hick. You did hear thoughts ascribing to those descriptions of the aliens in the hospital. An odd coincidence to those who don't believe in fate, of which you are of the belief it doesn't truly exist.

"Where did you come from? It's a surprise to me that no other acolyte has made an attempt at your life."

"I'm from my people's homeworld of Zeltros within the Inner Rim. I was on a party barge that accidentally flew into Imperial space while everyone on board was intoxicated and enjoying one another's company. Me and my friends were apprehended by Imperials who said we were all slaves now. One of the Sith on board the cruiser pointed me out and I was sent here instead of... Drummen Cass?"

"Dromund Kaas."

"Yeah." Arezoo nods and bites another piece out of her thermal detonator fruit. "That. I don't know why anyone's tried to kill me yet." She smiles, cheeks plump with fruit. "It must be because I'm so cute!"

You roll your eyes as a blushing Yang sighs.

An answer you should've expected from a race of degenerates.

>[ ] "...Wait, you were on a party barge where people were copulating. You don't look any older than I am."
>[ ] "I'll have you know that you are not even a tenth as cute as my red-skinned Lethan baby sister."

>(1/2)

The alien should be more mature and would if not for whatever hive of scum and villainy her homeworld is. Party barges aren't unique to her cesspool of a planet, but they at least don't normally have minors being in the vicinity of spice, fools' poison, and sex. It wouldn't surprise you to hear if any Republic senators were on that barge: their kind are filthy and degenerate to the core.

First things first, her horrible disregard for Yang's and your lack of care for the cutesy act.

"You can feel our discomfort yet you go through with it anyway..."

Arezoo pouts. "There are other people who are enjoying it as they watch us. Most of them get it but you two..." The girl lifts her head out of the crook of your maybe-friend's neck, cheeks still somewhat lined with fruit bits. "Lack the same spark. You more than him, my lord."

A groan churns in your throat. "Swallow your food and act your age."

The girl swallows her crunched fruit and droops.

"...Well done on showing respects to your betters."

Like the primitive alien images of a self-resurrecting fire bird, Arezoo rises again.

You twitch.

She is somehow even more fickle and weak willed than other woman normally are at her age. Either someone really hates you or the Force itself has thrown this obstacle in your way to break into the mold you set for it. In many other circumstances, you'd be willing, but you are not in a good state to be dealing with any troublesome woman right now.

"Why were you on the barge, working as a serving girl?"

"No, I was invited by my friends. It was pretty fun before we got enslaved."

You raise an eyebrow and shake your head.

Whatever she was doing on that barge you do not want to know.

Turning your attention on your ever cooling lunch, you attend to its innate non-existent desire yet existent purpose to be devoured.

You chomp down on the sweet, filling fruits and greens first. Their tastes are somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar, the tell-tale sign of some genetic tampering of a common green or fruit. The Biotic science division is largely responsible for that side of things. Wars on a galactic scale are hell on logistics and superfoods on the Imperial and Republic side exist to nourish numerous soldiers on the go. If your kind still had a true master Sith Alchemist, that issue would have been resolved centuries before it ever became one.

A hum builds in your throat as you munch the edible thermal detonator into bits and juice.

Really, the ancient Sith could've conquered the galaxy if they really wanted to, maybe even the universe if they just utilized their gifts properly instead of killing one another. That's still an issue to this day, but your kind have at least learned from Sadow and Kressh's little genocide-ending rivalry. Both had absolute power for their time, and they wasted it killing each other over putting their differences aside to squash the Republic and the Jedi before they could ever become what they are now.

Swallowing, you shrug to yourself.

The past is already set in stone, the future is up to you now.

You can't be the only one on this planet haunted by the long dead spirits of the fallen and genocided Sith having dreams of the Dark Side. Force users tend to have prophetic dreams and vision in general; the real trouble is interpreting them or figuring out their purposes. Can't help but doubt that the pink alien would have them on account of being a ditzy little degenerate.

"Have you been having dreams, Arezoo?"

"Duh, everyone has dreams."

Groaning, you resist the urge to roll your eyes. "Any of them different from the others?"

"Some of them are weirder and hotter than the others but nothing to worry about."

Your eyes meet Yang's equally confused ones before you both shake your heads free of the woman's nonsense.

The sandwich of well-bred meat, healthy cheese, and rich greens entrenched by vitamin enriched bread takes your mind off your resident alien's vulgarity.

Genetically engineering animals is far easier than greens but often has the unfortunate side-effect of not getting what you want from the modification. Despite what many may think, genes are not blueprints: they are incremental chemical processes that are continuously breaking down or mutating to their advantage and disadvantage. Progenitors having healthy lifestyles, decent nutrients, and developed bodies often leads to better children through epigenetics. Although, it doesn't change the underlying genetics that largely determine one's physical appearance, abilities, and basic health.

Swallowing the lump of sandwich in your mouth, you shake your head free of your wandering thoughts courtesy of Drenum's long academic monologues.

More important matters need to be attended to right now.

Closing your eyes, you focus on the Force you can feel permeating the room.

Several presences flair more so than others, likely staff members from their magnitude, but one isolated being distinguishes itself through sheer flickering anger brimming with the dark side.

You open your eyes and turn to the beacon of hatred's direction.

Hunched over his own table, the Twi'lek who spoke out against beliefs in Tremel's office and bumped into after your dunk in the vat crushes a small berry with his sharp, alien teeth.

A sigh escapes your lips.

That idiot just seems to keep bumping into you.

This wouldn't be complete without some schaudenfraude courtesy of your first maybe-friend. It could delight your newest, worst maybe-friend, but it would be well worth the pain and suffering you'll fester within the young man. He would also make it easier for you to kill him for when the inevitable time comes, if things really do escalate to that point.

"Yang, you've been awfully silent." You grin. "Is this the first time you've had a woman near you?"

Mr. Orphan's blush deepens. "No, no, no, no, no! I just... I mean... I don't..."

"What?" Arezoo tilts her head back on the boy's shoulder, happy smile on her face.

A throaty chuckle seeps out your lips as the bog rat squirms.

The poor fool didn't grow up with any women around him like you did. Between Vette's impudent yet obedient slave madness and your mother's own all too reverent madness, you learned to tolerate their kind's whimsical nature up to a point. He's likely never had to deal with them unless he was stealing from prostitutes.

"Well, is it?"

Yang turns somewhat ethereal, his presence in the force disappearing almost completely from your notice.

Arezoo looks up and blinks at her lover boy's see-throughness while you burst into laughter.

This turned out way better than you thought it would.

The pink alien touches the ghost-like orphan, making him recoil, before petting him on the head. "There, there. No one, except Magnus, thinks less of you, Yang. I used to be nervous around boys, cute boys like you; I understand." She smiles as he materializes again redder than ever. "There we go. Isn't that much better?"

On second thought, this went the opposite direction you wanted it to go.

Yang nods as you shoot him a look of disbelief. "Y-yes, thank you."

"Is that slave over there the angry Twi'lek you both keep mentioning?" You speak up, making sure to stop the horrible conversation from continuing any further.

Both glance to where you're looking and nod in confirmation.

A hum builds in your throat.

It's still odd that the both of them pointed out the exact same people when you asked them about acolytes with potential. Maybe it's obvious for them being new to the Force, but it's still a little strange. There should be others intermixed, unless they really are that good and on the same level with maybe something that connects all of them.

Enough standing around watching your maybe-friend and the pink bitch make sparkly lovey dovey eyes at one another. You've got other things you want to do in your life, and you're not the type to wait until you're dead. Maybe Nox is in a better training mood now that she's hours older and has more perspective to add to her post-fertile-child-bearing years perspective. The woman is a woman, an insane one at that: she would be whimsical enough to flip-flop much like a fish.

And you are the epitome of what it is to be a man, the manliest man that ever was a man. The manliest man that dreams of plump strong women entrapping him in bondage and pleasuring him against his will. Truly, one as skittish around the opposite sex as you would be all a man could be. Only the truest men have complaints when a well-endowed powerful grown woman practically offers them her body to claim, ravage, impregnate, and worship: making you one of them. Nay, the one true pathetic little man in the galaxy.

You blink as you look down a your lunch.

There is the oddest feeling of impotent rage as well as frustration within you right now, and you have no idea why.

Shrugging, you pick up what remains of your delicious sandwich and finish it with three bites before glancing at the Twi'lek again.

Big-Green-And-Angry, brooding as he seemingly always is, stares into his own fantastic meat and cheese combo topped & bottomed by rich bread.

You narrow your eyes, deafen your ears and mind to the others surrounding you, focus on the very existence of the angry man, and seep into his mind.

I hate this sandwich.

You blink.

I hate it so much. It tastes so good but it was made by them, the filth, the Imperials. Everything in this gods-forsaken place was made by those bastards. I hate them. I hate how comfortable their beds are. I hate how calming floating in the kolto tank was. I hate the cute red girls with their squid-like faces that wander around this place. I hate the gods-damned dreams I have that keep telling me to keep on hating and being a hater, whatever the hell that means.

He tears a decent chunk out of his sandwich and picks up a fruit to do the exact same.

Also, I hate this fruit. I hate fruit in general, but they made this fruit taste good. Now it's going to make me want to eat other fruit that I can hate, which will make me hate this fruit more. Fucking Imperials and their gods-blessed farmers. Who am I kidding, it was probably grown in a vat. Gods-damned defilers of the nature I hate so much, I hate those fuckers.

The hateful man swallows his torn chunks of food.

Gods-fucking-damn that was good. I hate that. I hate how this will give me energy to keep on living. I should've died back there. No, I would have hated that; I should have never been born at all.

You back out of the man's mind before he can think any more thoughts that could make you feel so utterly embarrassed on another person's behalf.

Arezoo hyped up the 'hater' like he was some force of nature, but all he is is just a brat who can't appreciate the good things in his horrible life.

Standing up, you shake your head.

Everyone in this place, maybe even including you, is completely insane.

Disappointments. You are surrounded by disappointment upon disappointment at every turn on this Force damned planet. It doesn't matter if Nox is completely hawk-bat shit insane, she's at least a vaguely respectable person by virtue of being powerful alone. She can torture you all she wants, you don't want to see anymore of these failures for a while.

"...Fuck all of you, I'm going to go train with someone I can take seriously and is actually far above any of you."

Yang and the ditsy red blink as you walk away, flipping them the finger as they stare.

Stomping through the halls of the academy, you make your way to the floor where the only person who can really train you in the areas you're lacking in resides. You feel the air around you turn increasingly malevolent, acidic, and thick as you get closer. By the time you reach the entrance of the office, the permeating aura is almost unbearable.

Nox is leaning on her desk, arms crossed expectingly, in front of the luxurious wooden piece of office furniture when you enter her sanctum.

You take a step forward and the strength you have to stand almost leaves your now quivering form.

The Dark Council Member glares at you with vibrant orange eyes over blackness where white should be.

"...I completely forgot you could probably, definitely hear my thoughts from some distance away, light-years even; which makes me realize you probably erased any line of thought I had that would put two and two together." You try and tilt your head but find your body unable to do so. "...Came back to bite you, huh?"

Nox's eyes widen with fury and amazement at the sheer audacity of your brazenness.

You let out strange fearful-sounding laughter in spite of your lack of what would be rightful terror at this situation.

Sometimes you wish you never spent those years in Vette of all mouthy slave's care.

hmm. I feel like Magnus has been around enough deviancy for him to ask this question.

>>4135605
Not sure what we can do to save face. I'm not sure if groveling or begging will do much. I see it as a 50/50 chance where she accepts it smugly or is unamused. Personally I think we should think of really erotic shit about Nox to throw her off. Maybe uh.... Nox in a bakini on a paradise world, or in a pretty dress, or hand holding. Degenerate shit like that.

I may not like this choice, and I dont support it, but I am very interested in knowing what could possibly happen if we actually say that.

Lmao, there's no face to save around Nox, we're completely transparent.

>>4135616
At this point Magnus is doomed, so might as well go down cheeky.
>>
>>4135621
Might as well go down as a degenerate. Think theres a chance we might live if we ask Nox yo sit on Magnus'a face? Squish his head between her thighs?

Maybe if we spew enough erotica sewage before Magnus gets wick of his own words, there might be a chance to out lewd the cougar. We gotta dig deep. We gotta force mind read all the adults in the academy and utilize ther collective degeneracy.
>>
>>4135627
nonono, this is the death of stick-up-the-ass-prude Magnus, and the birth of outwardly-kinky Magnus. Gotta give him his proper death throes.
>>
>>4135627
Let's not do that, funny as it would be. Cheeky before getting tortured is fine, going full lewd is not.

That being said, saying "going to torture me now? You know I'm going to enjoy it way more than you" sounds like a good way to avoid it or have her ramp up the power

Telling her she is old doesnt have the slight chance she would stop to avoid giving us satisfaction.

She's not stopping no matter what we say at this point, so might as well double down on our future.

I am thirsty for Nox thighs. Not gonna lie.

>>4135604
Are we adept enough with Sith Alchemy to make something irresponsible such as like. I dunno, power armor or mini mechas?
>>
>>4135642
Fair. I somehow dont think she will flat out refuse to train us after this, if only because she wants us to keep coming back but we probably wont be getting anything out of this session.

"Bitches be crazy" so to say. Probably best we use empowerment to bump our durability up, we are gonna need it.
>>
>>4135647
>awakening Magnus' true self
>nothing
>>
>>4135646
Yes, if you can memorize the blueprints and acquire/alchemize enough materials.

Keep in mind, while you can modify materials into other elements or materials, you can't outright create something that defies the laws of physics...yet. When you get enough knowledge and skill level to modify genes, you can start creating non-complex material with force properties.
>>
Also, I am impressed with the level of discussion going on. Might leave the decision open for now because it is getting late and I am going to be tired soon, which is what I will do since I already kind of am. Some of you seem unsure what to do so I will let you talk it out between yourselves for now.

Thoughts or questions you've got that I could answer?
>>
>>4135652
Why do the bitches be crazy?

>>4135649
Yes anon, awakening the sub within him Is nothing compared to learning to shoot lightning from your hands or learning to block the woman out of our head better.
>>
>>4135647
If our session with Nox doesn't kill Magnus, well you know how the saying goes. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I only hope that will be the case.

>>4135651
Considering our status, would we be allowed to examine/request a couple of light sabers, blasters, Republic/Imperial trooper armor (I forgot which one we are) and machines? Are droids and robots a thing yet?
Instead of memorizing the blueprints, could we ask for copies of robot and vehicle schematics? Shoot maybe we might need to learn about robots and such.

>>4135652
I hold firm on saying this >>4135597 in addition to being thirsty.
>>
>>4135652
How long would it take Magnus to retrofit a starship with sith alchemist upgrades. Y'know, Quantum-crystalline armor, reinforced cannons, increased transmission range, stealth material, the works.

>>4135655
The force is non-ritual magic. Your mind-set and outlook are just as important, if not more, than learning how to shoot the lightning better.
>>
>>4135656
I really dont want to be thirsty for Nox. We refused the darkside on the same grounds so we should do the same here.

Not to say unattracted, but certainly not actively going out of our way for the attention.

And I think jokers quote "what doesnt kill you just makes you....crazier" is more apt, but point taken.

>>4135657
Yes but we also need to know how to do it so our mindset can matter
>>
>>4135658
fair point. Nox needs to be less crazy if she wants a piece of the Magnus Opus...… what's what I'm gonna call his dick.
>>
>>4135658
Thirst is fine. Magnus needs to find someone to serve, and I'd rather it be Nox than the dark side of the force itself, since that would just into him into a mockery of himself.

I mean ok, but this would still be considered training though. It's not like this is the last time we'll ever see Magnus again, and we can stay on Korriban up to a year, if we don't want to kill all the acolytes. Besides, Nox even said this was the next step in our training if we wanted to continue, so not sure where "training your mindset for one or two days out of 365 means you're not training." came from.
>>
>>4135660
Afungi did say Nox may chill after she rapes us once.
>>
>>4135655
Dark side is some crazy shit.
>>4135657
As long as it takes for him to learn how to alter them with those materials without fucking up their function, how those materials are structures, how to improve transmission devices, what stealth materials are, and touch each part or the entire connected structure to modify in the first place.
>>
>>4135664
Like, if Magnus knew what to do, it would only take a minute or so, and that's for a giant spaceship structure.

It would leave him drained but you'd have a giant alchemized super weapon in your hands.
>>
>>4135664
>pic related when
>>
>>4135664
>>4135665
Wait hol'up. Can he manipulate atomic density yet? If he can't then that's what we should work on when Nox isn't getting in our pants in the future.
>>
>>4135661
Because it isnt really training your mindset, we have a perfectly adequate grasp of how to think to use our powers. I may just be hasty to constantly be training new skills though I feel that it isnt a bad thing.

As for serving Nox, again I am iffy on the concept since....well its box and she is both hillarious and make smy skin crawl.
Few stronger masters though.
>>
>>4135668
At best, he vaguely alters it into the form of an element he's already seen with the force.

If you can get him to advance to the level of genetics, where you are effectively reverse-engineering DNA until it's in a sequence that can function, you'll be on that level. I don't mean minor modification, I mean Darth Plagueis-tier creation of life.

>Considering our status, would we be allowed to examine/request a couple of light sabers, blasters, Republic/Imperial trooper armor (I forgot which one we are) and machines? Are droids and robots a thing yet?
Yup. Ask someone for some of the Academy Sentinel guard armor or get some from your household guard back at your family Cathedral in Dromund Kaas for when you're wrapped up on Korriban (if that's even the planet you decide to go to after)
>>
>>4135675
No one. Just pick apart a droid yourself or ask one to help you learn its structure.
>>
>>4135673
welp RIP invulnerable starship for an indeterminate amout of in-universe years. looks like Magnus' gonna have to train to see atoms and molecules, and learn material compositions.

>>4135669
Mindset isn't just about knowing how to use the force, it's about how you view the world and how you interact with it. A shift in mindset could break a mental lock on something you once considered taboo but now you don't, or seal something you once considered to be essential to your existence. It's too powerful a facet of existence, especially in this universe to completely hand-wave it away because you want to flash-fry some chicken faster.
>>
>>4135679
we should grab some random household guard, but them in the best armor we can make, and bask in their suffering while we make a lawn chain and watch them flounder against our opponents.
>>
>>4135680
I know what a mindset is. I simply dont see any benefit to this change in terms of power since we are already powerful to do as we will.

And again, this isnt "training a mindset" it is "removing an inhibition."
An inhibition that at this point is serving us perfectly well so that we dont just roll over and do as the bug scary bitch tells us too.
>>
>>4135691
And excuse my premature posting.

The rest of it was what level are we at with said lightning? If it is not he equivalent of "adept" aka competent in said force power then I want that fixed, much the same with others.
>>
>>4135691
Some changes in mindset are gradual, some are immediate. You can only remove so many inhibitions before your mindset becomes unstable. And I wouldn't call denial serving us perfectly well, considering you're supposed to do what you please.

>>4135693
I don't even oppose more training in that area. Just that it's less immediately important, especially for this current situation.

And here's our basic force abilities:
Basic Force Absorption
Basic Force Draining
Basic Force Lightning

We also have:
Basic Niman
Basic Assassination

If you were wondering, and reaching Expert takes searching for teachers specifically for that skill, if you're not pioneering it.
>>
>>4135698
Telekinesis seems like an easy straight forward kind of thing to train.
>>
>>4135707
Which is why we're an expert at it.
>>
>>4135698
Denial has allowed us to refuse what we dont want.

And this conversation started when I said that we wouldnt get anything useful out of this session like lightning training, so there is nothing to stop this change of personality from happening or not as the situation unfolds.
>>
>>4135709
I personally think we should train this more, followed up by the salvaging/tech knowledge skill and studying robots and various sets of armor. What do you think we should do next?
>>
>>4135711
>denial
>stopping you from doing things you don't want
huh?

true enough. I still hold training the mind in general is more important than any specific ability, but they should be trained.

>>4135712
Once we've settled with Nox, we should definitely study many blueprints and structures. I guess since we don't have access to many blueprints that we'd be relegated to simply observing already-existing structures, so I'd agree with the salvaging. Armor sounds good, but we gotta get good enough to make our own designs, bulky armor in star wars is kinda tacky. If we got good enough to make an armored skin-suit though... that I'd be all for. I'm not sure what skill would do it, but training up a microscope-like skill to observe things tinier than can normally be seen would be a good direction to go in. Not sure about telekinesis, but it's simple enough, and if it gets strong enough we could probably move individual atoms with it, so I can see the benefits.

Best for you to ignore drawing anymore of the almighty Sith Lord's ire. You've already been violated once in mind and spirit, you don't want to be defiled physically on top of that again. She likely has thoughts of making that nightmare a reality with her in place of whoever 'Rev' is supposed to be. Although, now that you think about it, she's probably going to do that anyway sooner or later.

"In all my years leading up to this day on this planet, through all the torturous exercises my parents put me through in preparations to become a Sith as they are, never did I expect the Dark Side to be so...depraved." A sigh escapes your lips. "It is infuriating. What's the Dark Side like for you, Nox? How do you work with it?"

The woman scorned purses her lips. "Unlike you, I do not reject it or fight it: I accept it wholeheartedly." Her arms flow down her sides, changing her judging pose into a self-hug. "Lusts, powers, secrets, and countless sweet nothings whisper in my mind when I'm asleep and awake."

"Isn't it overwhelming though?"

"Oh, little Magnus." A throaty laugh purrs out the Darth's lips. "That's part of the fun."

You resist the urge to roll your eyes. "Well, are you having enough fun to train me and not mad enough to say no?"

The drowning aura of Nox intensifies as her arms return to their previous position.

"C-Come on, can't you just put it aside? For old time's s-s-sake?"

"Let me punish you and I will give you all the training you want."

Blinking, you twitch in an attempt to tilt your head. "Punish?"

"Yes." A grin spreads across the grown woman's face. "I'll train you in everything I can if I get to punish you for your insolence, you spoiled little bastard."

The feeling of extreme unease in your chest grows ever more severe.

She is definitely going to do what you think she wants to do to you if you agree to that.

This shit with nox is probably gonna be a one off, primarily because she is a unique person of power, position and knowledge of us.
Sleeping our way to power here is the best option, generally.

In other situations, sex is not our first or even our liked method from characterisation. Nor do they know our shameful little secrets.

>>4136298
Yeah, it's definitely a unique arrangement here, Magnus dislikes wanton sluts.
And that's why I think Magnus will only give in to Nox, now that it's reached this point; he's too strong willed to give in to any random woman we may meet in the future, and his integrity and faithfulness would keep him down to one.

He got over her age pretty quickly once she started molesting him, and she learned how slow her aging anyway.
>>
>>4136360
I like to see "options" as alternative timelines. Just because they were potentially true, the fact they were not chosen means they are not true.

When I see options, I see them as actions the character would naturally take on their own, and that just because one option was picked over the other, doesn't make the impetus that would push them to choose the other options, go away.

>genuinely don't think Magnus has feelings for nox besides lust
alright, I can see how one could come to that conclusion, given he's not the most open with those kinds of feelings; but even if he doesn't have any now, it's not like they can't develop, he's got up to a year to get to know her better.
Also given just how repressed and in denial Magnus is, once he does tip over, it would probably be like free-fall.
>>
>>4136407
>Even if he doesn't have any now
You need to have feelings first to be in denial about them. And the woman who you just met and who hates your dad and you by proxy is not the first person you immediately get emotions for.
In a year, due to propinquity and soem form of stockholm syndrome and natural masochism.....yeah, I can see it. But that is not now.
>>
>>4136417
>feelings can't be denied if they don't exist.
Oh, I was referring to his sexual fantasies, not his maybe-feelings for Nox. I acknowledge they may not exist beyond lust. He even curates his personal narration to keep himself from thoughts like that.
Do keep in mind that women are his only weakness though, and Nox has shown enough interest in him for him to develop some interest in her as well, imo.
>>
>>4136439
ahh, we are back on the same page then.
I understand good sir.
>>
>>4136449
What a civil conversation.
very comfy.
>>
>>4136417
It could also go completely the other way and as he gets to know her better he realises she's a creepy, evil lunatic who would be best off in Arkham Asylum, only thinks of him as a tool/toy and the only sensible course of action is to stay as far away as possible from - once she has her barbs in, she's not going to let go until she either croaks or gets what she wants out of him. He's got his head screwed too far on the right way to think anything but bad things can come out of that. Of course he could also meet someone else much nicer than that in the meantime, and watch the fireworks happen if Nox sees.
>>
>>4136466
Don't mind the namefag, my bad
>>
>>4136466
Given that he already sees Nox like that... my feelings about this possibility are summed up very well as:
>Heavy Doubt.
>>
>>4136470
Reinforcement of existing views and suspicious, that is
>>
>>4136456
Quite.

>>4136466
Possibly but then, people are not always rational creatures.
>>
>>4136487
I like to think our guy is smarter than that and capable of thinking with his brain instead of his dick. At least most of the time.
>>
>>4136476
He straight up sees her as a lunatic, and she's already compared him to his mom, who's helplessly devoted to her husband, even if she's not the only one he sleeps around with.
And Magnus didn't completely disagree with her either.
Given that his opinion of her can't really get lower without lying to himself about how strong she is, I think once he learns more about her that he'd see more than just the insanity.
Nox isn't even a complete bitch either, she offered to help Magnus get back at people who wronged him.

>>4136493
I mean, all that can effect Magnus are women. He's literally perfect in every other area. A side effect of how he was raised.
>>
>>4136493
He probably is. But again, the brain doesn't give a shit how smart you are, certain things are going to effect you.

Being isolated in a sensory deprivation tank for a decade or more is going to fuck you up, no matter how smart you are because that is how the body functions. Anomolies like psychopaths exist of course, but rules and exceptions.
>>
>>4136504
The amount of character development she would need to come across as anything but cartoonishly evil is immense. Thoroughly mentally corrupted by space magic, and the conclusion of my own subjective psychoanalysis (though the "subjective" part is redundant since they all are) that she's that all the way through - even if she isn't, she'll still be a nutcase who is very unhealthy to be within a parsec of, much less lying next to.

>she offered to help Magnus get back at people who wronged him.
Don't remember this at all. I can't find it in the last thread.
>>
>[X] "...I'm sorry. You are the sexiest, most fertile, most powerful, and somehow extremely young-looking woman your age in this entire universe."

She obviously wants you to grovel in front of her for power, mercy, and just so she can get off on it. Woman may not want to kill you now, but that's very much just because of her fickle nature as a member of the opposite sex; moment you try to leave, she'll try and killrape you. Your dignity is a small sacrifice to make for your continued survival.

"...I'm sorry. You are the sexiest, most fertile, most powerful, and somehow extremely young-looking woman your age in this entire universe."

Nox scoffs. "Flattery will you get nowhere, no matter how accurate and pleasing it is to hear that come out of your lips."

"Not even mercy?"

"You will be disciplined as I see fit." She purrs. "Your punishment will be an entirely different matter."

You swallow. "They're both the same thing."

Holding on to her sides yet again, the Darth cackles. "Oh no, they're nowhere near close." A moan escapes her lips. "We're going to be having so much fun. You won't admit it at first, but like a good boy, you'll submit."

"What do you think will happen to you if anyone in my family hears about this?"

"They'll call you an idiot for wanting to be trained by someone who has made it obviously clear what they've wanted to do with you since we first met in my office after your trials began." Her former-slave-ness scoffs. "I'm going to have to punish you even harder for trying to hide behind your family name now. That was unbecoming of you, little Magnus."

A sigh escapes your lips. "...Can you really blame me?"

"Of course I can. You sound like such a pussy right now, I don't think I've ever used that word, but it is the perfect description of how you're acting."

You resist the urge to collapse in what should definitely be/is frustration and not fear.

Really, you could only say no to a woman like her so many times until she got tired of it. She's being courteous just not doing whatever she wants to you right now. It's not like the dark-side enveloped Sith would deny you training after going at lengths to acquire it. Even if she did, it would settle things between you two for a while.

That all involves sacrificing your dignity however.

I am, completely and utterly disappointed in your lack of spine magnus. It is frankly sickening.
did the force dream teach you nothing?

Grit your teeth and go down with what's left of your courage.

on another note, dignity has already been sacrificed, going further is losing nothing.
>>
>>4136583
>Cartoonishly evil.
Insane just means you don't understand them, to them all their actions make sense. When you spend enough time around insane people you learn why they do what they do, and given Nox's type of insanity is lucid, she'd be able to explain herself just fine.
>Don't remember this at all. I can't find it in the last thread.
>>4043299
>Your dark master tilts her head. "Such a naughty naughty boy Caeles has been. I'll punish him for you, your mother, your siblings, and for everyone else who's suffered because of him."

Ok so it was focused on getting vengeance on his dad.
Still, she's not been subversive about her desires and views. I genuinely don't see how his opinion of her can get worse, and even if it stays the same their relationship would develop along the lines it has been.
I can only realistically see greater than or equal to in regards to Magnus' view of Nox.

option(s)
>>
>>4136673
"Punish me gently" is for pussies.
"Why don't I just give you what you want, what I want" is also conceeding ground.

>[X] "Do your worst then."

It's not like you to just give up like this. Sure, you're not going to make your way out of this one unscathed, but that was always going to be a possibility. You'll accept whatever happens with your head held as high as it can be before she makes you do something obscene with it. Very much a possibility you'll end up regretting this more than anything else in your life however.

You grit your teeth. "Do your worst then."

An unstoppable force swipes you off your feet, slamming you into the durasteel ground with your own weight.

"Oh, I shall!"

The telekinesis controlled space around you begins to move your body.

You try and dig your fingers into the ground using force reinforcement to no avail.

By the time you notice your shirt floating up off your body, you realize Nox has specifically let your arms free of her telekinetic abilities for the sole purpose of giving you a vain, soul-crushing attempt to resist.

The atmosphere changes as the dark lord drags you from her office into what you can definitely feel is her bedchambers by the ultra-soft carpet alone.

Your trousers are ripped from your legs along with your only manly man undergarment before you're tossed on to the first of the softest beds you've ever had the misfortunate fortune of being thrown on to.

Nox is fully dressed and giggling one moment and stark naked, purring, the next.

For the brief moment you're on your back, you notice how true your earlier words were by the sight of the woman's almost flawless body illuminated by candlelight.

The moment you're flipped on to your stomach, you feel two all too familiar soft cheeks of flesh sink into your toned back and a ruthless, soft hand strike you on the backside, drawing out many degrading feelings.

"Come now, you boys don't often get to live out your adorable little fantasies." Two of her slender fingers snake into your mouth and intertwine themselves with your tongue. "I'll be your mistress, your goddess, after we're done."

Your eyes widen to their absolute limit.

This was a mistake. You can't go through this again, not with her. Even though you knew this was probably coming, it doesn't make reliving those events but in reality any easier. It's not going to go away after a shower and a walk on the sands Korriban, you will be scarred by this.

Cool breath brushes against your ear, making you shudder.

You don't many have options at this point however.

>[ ] Turn the tables. Even if it's just for a moment, you can supercharge yourself with force reinforcement and get on top. You can't just submit like this, it isn't you.
>[ ] Don't you think this is a little basic? Doing the exact same thing the dark side did to me in a dream? Why don't we do something different?

>>
>>4136874
A chance, my dear fellow, to assure ourselves of at least some power when not confronted with the manifestation of such power.
In a sense, doing what we could not before, showing we at least have some measure of control. That and an attempt to cushion the impact of this event somewhat.

The alternative is to try and goad her into something different by calling her out on using the dream, but I think the dream *is* the worst thing that Magnus has ever had so it wouldn't really work out.

>[X] Turn the tables. Even if it's just for a moment, you can supercharge yourself with force reinforcement and get on top. You can't just submit like this, it isn't you.

Despite your doubts and weakness, you are not the type to just accept things and surrender. She may ravage your body, but she will never enslave your mind until she breaks it with her cosmic space magic. At the very least, you will stop being you with your dignity in tact as best as you can preserve it in the coming moments. The thing that will become of you will forever not be you until you are you again, as confusing as that may sound to think.

Your body pulses with the power of the Force as you let it flow into you and reinforce you in all its potency.

Nox grunts at the newfound change, too slow to avoid you grabbing her arms at the sides of your head and throwing her naked body over your braincase in front of your now-sitting form.

Elation envelops you at the victory before the lower half of the Sith lord's body springs up to entrap your head in-between her thighs.

A moan escapes the Darth's lips when yours make full contact with her lower ones thanks to the rapid shift in position.

Grabbing hold of her plump and velvety-soft backside, you pull the same trick on her yet refrain from flipping your weight in favor of pulling her upper body down against your lower, avoiding the obvious issue of possibly getting your genitalia bitten off.

The former slave makes the mistake of suckling from you, making you moan into her, instead of making any shifts in position.

You wait for the depraved woman to draw breath before retracting yourself from her, sliding up from her thighs, and restraining her as best you can in a pinning hold on to her naked back.

Both of you lay still against one another in almost complete silence, the only sound in the room coming from your own individual deep yet erratic breaths.

Staring into her normal orange Sith eyes, you see a strange longing and respect for you that was not at all there before a couple of minutes ago.

You part your lips and take another quivering breath.

This choice is yours to make now.

You're not the type to run from things, or at leas you think you aren't. Whether or not that's true, you have to come clean with some parts of yourself. This is one of them. Maybe it's not as bad as you thought it'd be but still: you really do like grown, powerful woman.

Letting go of Nox's thin arms, you line yourself up with her temple mound.

The lady rises and positions herself adequately for you, running a hand down the top of her backside to the back of her thighs in expectation.

Several minutes pass by until either of you could roll into your own opposite sides of the bed.

A hearty, sultry laugh purrs in Nox's throat. "...Be mine, Magnus."

"What?" You glance to your mistress.

"Tell me." She moves her head close to yours, nuzzling your forehead with her own. "...You'll be loyal to me."

You blink.

If we're more attuned to both sides, does that make Magnus super neutral?
>>
>>4137294
afaik, the revan kreia magnus alignment is the most difficult alignment shift to make in star wars, because it requires a disregard of all dogma in favor of your own. I guess calling it super neutral wouldn't be wrong, but I think it's more like taking whatever you want from any side.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here though, there's literally only 2 examples of this alignment in canon.
>>
>>4137294
Super Magnus
>>
>>4137314
there is far too much focus on the jedi and the sith to really get a good grip on what the force actually is or if either are actually right

by their own beliefs, both sects should recognize their abilitiy to be wrong but refuse that the thing they've admitted to be beyond anything in the universe cannot be categorized as light or dark so brazenly

Disney, in their limitless wisdom, decided to make a book series set in the TOR era only it's the High Republic and about the Jedi and somehow Sith gods.

For fuck's sake, where are the Nightsisters, obscure Jedi sects, and random fuckwad who thinks he's using magic?
>>
>>4137322
Yeah I don't think any of us know what disney is doing at this point. Seems like they built the Titanic, then put the iceberg in the way, while also firebombing it.

But this specific alignment is the only one with no drawbacks for using both light and dark force powers right? Greys get a penalty because they suck at actually giving up on their original teachings right?
>>
>>4137333
There is no real drawback. Greys just don't know what the fuck to do with themselves unless they're not aligned with anything, making them aligned to themselves.

It's like how Magnus was a brooding confused asshole after what happened to his dream asshole: man didn't know what he believed in anymore.
>>
>>4137335
Ah, gotcha. So it's the natural evolution of greys that many don't reach because they don't meet the right opportunities?
>>
>>4137342
Yes, or they fall back into their old beliefs because they can't move on with their lives.

It happens with almost every gray Jedi: Bindo is still one despite being a grouchy old man, wolfguy voss man dies like a bitch to some blaster because jedi way despite suffering greatly for it in his final years of life, Kanan meets Ezra and becomes a Jedi again because he teaches him their ways instead of just teaching him how to survive, bug-eyed black lady meets onions boy Cal, Katarn toes the line but always knows where he stands, and Revan was Revaned in SWTOR, which did not happen in this quest canon.

It's so goddamn boring and played out. For fuck's sake, at least have one fallen jedi go their own way instead of becoming an edgy Sith or finding themselves back in the ideology that made them leave in the first place.

Cute. I'm down for whatever happens, so long as we get to keep our training going. On the plus side, Magnus is slightly more likely to be the only survivor -more than he already was- since Nox has a keep interest in him, or not.
>>
>>4137525
>>4137291
If we must do a round two, I think we can skip over it for this time.

And I wonder why Nox is being so 'saccharine'. Manipulative? Probably. Just following whats in her head at any given moment? again probably but if you would bear a thought she is probably not seeing 'magnus' here and instead seeing Caeles in his place.
>>
you all know, that if we become loyal to her, we would need to betray our father and we will become her bitch boy until she gets our father?
>>
>[ ] "...This is way too saccharine for you."
>[ ] "Does this mean we can begin training again?"
>>
>>4137873
The "loyal" part is not clear on what she means, so really we can use that to our advantage.
That and lying, though magnus is an honourable soul
>>
>>4137873
>>4137882
I mean it's not like we really like our dad anyway. We just follow his orders in the hopes we'll be seen as a good son, or something, so I don't really see a downside there.
And it also gives a tangible goal for the quest instead of just wandering around.
>>
>>4137887
I wouldn't say that daddy dearest is put below nox, he is family after all and to break bonds with him involves severing ourselves from the rest of said family.

That being said, asking what exactly she means by "loyalty" sounds like a good idea if we genuinely want to follow through with our word rather than half hearted promises.

Come to think of it, my vote should really say "when it suits me"

>From this >>4137226 to "Too saccharine for you" and "When it suits my goals" and "Can we begin training again"
>>
>>4137893
>I wouldn't say that daddy dearest is put below nox
I would, the man is our father but he tries to actually kill us every time we meet. In that respect Nox doesn't go that far, just enough to enjoy it.
I guess asking what she's asking for would be good, but it seems pretty self explanatory to me. Also asking for an extrapolation would dampen the moment a bit.
Ah, and I kinda dislike that choice, cause Magnus is a bit of a compass with no direction, so it's like saying "if I feel like it." Doesn't really fit with his honor imo.
>>
>>4137898
I'm not really sure how to go forward with this situation if I am being honest.
It's messy and dealing with frankly the definition of "Chaos element wild card".

And attempting to kill us every once in a while is how we were raised, it wouldn't really begrudge him.
>>
>>4137905
Hmmmm... I don't really see Nox as that wild a card, given that she has an explicit goal. And since she wants to focus solely on our father, she doesn't care about anyone else in our family, so we could spare all of them if we felt like it. Actually, she felt like she'd be doing them a favor since she knows caeles has been pretty callous to everyone in his life.

Sure, it's just the Emperor's Wrath's way of raising his kids, but it's not a rearing method that would instill the most loyalty to your cause. It's not like Magnus has overwhelming love for his father, iirc he was neutral about him, because he didn't really care about almost dying alot since it helped him get stronger.

My proposal for moving forward would be to assure our loyalty, to give us an actual direction to head in, then to get back to training, this time with the ultimate goal of subduing our father in mind. Magnus doesn't even need to resent his dad here, he just would care more about Nox than him.
>>
>>4137917
Nox is a crazy bitch, like picking a snake up by it's tail you have no idea if it is gonna bite you or just try and wriggle around or like playing "defuse the bomb" with all the colours mixed around.

While a goal would be nice, Subduing father seems a touch out of nowhere. I remember the mentioning of "free fall" once Magnus gets over his issues of shit but this is rather silly.
Our current stated goal is to pass the test set for us by Father. We don't know what test this is or seen any overt signs of it yet, so we feel directionless.

I counter your proposal with my own, which is to say "When it suits my goals" with some other things as anons like, then get back to training. With increased presence it leaves the door open for apprenticeship and thus actual loyalty in a situation that warrants it rather than a post fuck haze. Ultimate goal, still unclear but much less trouble waiting to drop onto our head.
>>
>>4137923
Well, according to her character sheet she's not that bad:
Insane - Knowledge and understanding of what it is to have a lack of understanding in reality.
If I read that right, she knows exactly what she's doing at all times, so as long as we don't cross her too badly we'll be fine.

Well, actually, we avoided the kind of free fall I was referring to, this is far more tame.
Yeah that's our stated goal, but what after we complete it? We just gonna wander around? Get another mission from Dad?
For. What. Purpose.
It's not like we hold fast to sith beliefs anymore, and we never had that strong a resonance with them in the first place.

>Developing an actual relationship so Magnus would have reason to become loyal.
Huh, ok. I'd swap my vote to yours but if I did there would only be 2 voting for that. And given that round 2 and saccharine have 3 votes, we wouldn't even get to say it.
As it is, I'll be loyal has 2 but if I left it'd be one, so I was attempting to persuade you.
>>
>>4137923
Also, it's like what you said earlier, even though Magnus is honorable he can lie.
We could just stop being loyal if she acts too ridiculous for us to want to follow her anymore.
It's not like Magnus is a complete retard.
>>
>>4137931
Saccharine is really more an observation upon her present temperments, and it isn't an inaccurate one. Round two would be tied with "When it suits my goals" yet it isn't mutually exclusive I believe.
So far as I can tell, only "So long as it fits my goals" and "I'll be loyal" are mutually exclusive, the rest just alter or dampen the mood. I may be completely wrong, yet I don't think I am.

As for the purpose post Korriband, I presume we would most likely get another mission from dad, maybe. Last thread it is said that if any acolyte can murder us then they will be accepted as the wraths apprentice so this looks like it implies that magnus is his fathers apprentice.
Being a quest though and from author comments, we will have a choice of where we wish to go next, possibly father throwing us into the world to see how we grow.
>>
>>4137943
Yeah the purpose of this little exercise on Korriban is to select who will be the wrath's apprentice, with the expectation of us being so much stronger than the others that if they kill us they automatically win, and if we do the opposite, once it's complete, we'd officially become his apprentice.

I... personally don't really care all that much about becoming his official apprentice, as becoming the next enforcer of the Emperor just seems kinda boring honestly.

And since you alerted me to being dumb and counting votes that don't exist:
>>4137219
Swapping >>4137230 to >>4137893
Here's to hopin' Nox can make Magnus develop some loyalty to her.

This is the hope.
Yay, Diplomancing! Why was I not an inquisitor in a past life?

As for "official apprentice" meh. More shit to do, probably politics to deal with.
>>
>>4137961
It would literally just be us going around killing a bunch of people to keep the emperor in power.
Sounds like a snoozefest to me
>Why was I not an inquisitor in a past life?
You weren't?
>>
>>4137962
Or was I?
Sounds like something to inquire about.

And nah, the wrath is as much a political power as an executioner. You know warhammer fantasy, where they send the emperors bodyguard to different castles to ensure their loyalty? A reminder of the emperors power?

hell, even darth vader was sent to oversee projects.

I feel that mis-represents the role somewhat. But eh, it is unlikely to come about.

It's not like just because the role is boring that it's not important or crucial. We have way too many jobs like that irl as examples. And why do you think it's unlikely to happen?
>>
>>4137985
Because if we ever reach that point, defeating the wrath is gonna be the end point of the quest I feel like.
It would make for a satisfying ending so I think.

That and with how quickly we learn skills, I feel like hunting down ancient knowledge is much more our speed.
Ideally ancient knowledge held in the hands of people who are still breathing.

Out of all things you expected to hear after sex with an insane sadistic Dark council member, that was not one of them. Maybe in a different context, just not this one. She can already bend you to her will without any real effort whatsoever, so there is absolutely no need for a vow of loyalty unless she's getting something from you saying it. If she's looking for submission, there are far more implicative words she could be using.

"...This is way too saccharine for you."

A low whine eeks in the Darth's throat. "Will you or won't you?"

"So long as it fits my goals."

"Fair enough." Your mistress sighs. "Way to kill the moment, Magnus."

You raise an eyebrow. "Just what were you hoping for?"

"Something more passionate than a practical, soulless response. For a boy who just became a man, you sure are awfully heartless."

"I'm looking out for my own best interests." A scoff spits from your lips. "And you of all people have no right to call me heartless after what you almost did to me."

"Oh please, I just took your virginity."

"After almost finger raping it out of me, yes."

Once again, Nox sighs. "I am going to enjoy hearing you scream again: really, it's quite the cathartic experience. Maybe you'll start enjoying it now that you are truly my concubine."

"Does this mean we can begin training again?"

"It's always training, complaints, and power with you. Can't we just enjoy what's left of our post-coital bliss?"

You roll your eyes.

A deviant should not act like a pure maiden in be, they lost that privilege a long time ago.

>>
Another thing to bring up while we wait for an update.

With regards to lightsaber training, we need to learn some Makashi ASAP because presently we don't have any ranks in it. We do have expert Juyo, so any combat we get into is usually covered pretty fine but squaring up against any trainer or lord of the sith is gonna result in a pretty hefty ass-kicking against us.
Depending on rules interpretation, someone with expert makashi just flat up negates any bonus to hit from our juyo while ranks below are ignored OR every level of Makashi our enemy has reduces our bonus by 1 while theirs increases by the same number. It's pretty powerful
>>
>>4138495
Aren't we in the perfect position to learn the seventh style? Or at least develop something like it? It took down palpatine who was the canonicaly strongest Sith ever.
>>
>>4138527
That is Vaapad, variation of form 7 developed by windu. Some wonky lore said that it was developed in the old republic then forgotten then 'miraculously' relearned properly.
Juyo is form 7 classic style and what we are an expert in. Father dearest is grandmaster level in it.

And besides, Vaapad worked on channeling the darkside into fueling it's movements both the practitioner and [this is what fucked sheev] that of the practitioners opponent. So Sheev being the most powerful sith meant that the form was possibly at it's most potent in all of Windu's time of practicing it.

But that is neither here nor there.
>>
>>4138536
huh.
now this is just spitballing, but could we develop a makashi-juyo combo abomination style? Or do you just switch styles mid-combat.

also how do you think we should train our sith alchemy? I wanted to get strong enough with the force to see the atoms move while we use it.
>>
>>4138623
Master bladesmen usually use whatever moves they like when shit throws down, so much so they have their own personal styles. Can we make hybrid styles? Ask the QM.
Can we swap forms mid combat? Probably, but ask the QM.

Training alchemy, probably best to try and get a better master for a while or hunt down the texts of old masters.

As a minor point of lore, sith crystals in old lore used to be made in one of two ways. The first was using a sith forge to pull a crystal into shape from a liquid state and thusly make them physically perfect [making sith forges intensely desired and the plans very hard to aquire, a status symbol and potent tool of alchemy] while the second is meditating for weeks and using the force to push and pull and arrange all the atoms of the crystals into their shapes properly to form powerful emotional resonant crystals. Darth maul supposedly did it 4 times to make his double bladed saber.

Indulging her wouldn't hurt at all. You are being a bit hasty here trying to jump from one thing on to another after riding that thing for some quite some time. Not like you're going to miss out on training in something. Maybe you'll enjoy it much like how you enjoyed her.

With a sigh, you move your head closer to Nox's and nuzzle her back.

A purr builds in the woman's throat as she wraps her arms around you in a gentle embrace.

The two of you lay in this position for about half-an-hour before either of you are comfortable separating and standing.

You put on the last of your stripped clothing in the dark lord's office as she returns to her seat behind her desk. "You've trained as a Sith Assassin, haven't you?" Pulling at your garments, they arrange themselves in their proper positions. "I'd like to learn more Force Concealment, maybe even assassination if we have time."

Ms. Cuddly fades from existence.

Blinking, an instinctual feeling of dread builds within your chest. "...Are you just showing off or is this part of the training?"

A cold, hard tip of something slender sends shivers down the back of your neck where it pokes.

"I'm guessing this is the part where I fall down and play dead?"

The feeling and Nox's faint presence disappears before you feel a fist introduce itself to your right kidney.

You snarl as you hold your side. "I'm not sure I understand how this is supposed to help me."

An ever familiar feeling of an elbow smashing against your spine sends jolts of pain through your body.

Sighing, you brace yourself for another blow.

Three hours pass until you can somewhat defend against her sneak attacks. In the meantime, you began cloaking yourself in a vain attempt at hiding yourself away from the master assassin. It doesn't seem to be a complete waste as you suffer less blows the better you fade into the world, nay, existence around you.

>Force Ability Improved: Advanced Force Concealment
>Skill Improved: Advanced Assassination

Groaning, you collapse on to your mistress' office floor.

Nox coos as she materializes back into existence, kneeling at your side. "Did I tire you out? Do you need to go back on the bed?"

Raising your upper body, you shake your head. "Teach me how to manipulate minds and resist manipulation better."

"You asked for it."

A questioning him chimes in your throat before a finger taps your forehead, burrowing into your mind.

The world goes dark as you collapse on to the floor.

Flashes of old memories and subconscious thoughts fire off in your mind: intense moments of training, near-death experiences, rare tender moments with your family, subsumed longings, forgotten desires, and various frustrations as to your current predicament with your trials. Each one goes by and you register them as best you can in your unconscious yet present state. It's a somewhat difficult task to manage, but you it with the superb finesse of one who's honed their mind with resolve since childhood much so one could confuse you for a master.

It's obvious Nox wants to learn something from you, quite possibly of you.

You don't know how long for sure but the stream of mind-delving consciousness continues for some time.

"Magnus."

Rising from the ground, you punch at the source of the voice only to have it caught.

The man says nothing as he stares straight into your eyes. "What would you have done if that was little Meztli, Yolotl, Aquila or any of your other siblings?"

You blink at the sight of your father's rarely unmasked face. "...Never forgive myself; what are we doing here?" Turning your head, you see flowing watery and flush greenery. "Where the hell are we?"

"Do you really not remember?" Caeles asks as two paddles telekineticly row the primitive boat you are on.

"...This isn't what happened: he choked me out and brought me here." You narrow your eyes at the mockery of the living legend. "My father isn't the type to use the Force to do something he can do himself either. What's your game here, Nox? Trying to make me hate bare-handed lake-whale hunting or just my old man?"

Memories come and go, all transcribed by brain code. They can be edited like any codex or typed file. All you need to do to change someone is a little editing of a few memories, even if it might not be permanent. Odd how you can resist in your current state and with such a simple memory of... punching giant alien whales that reside in lakes to death... For what pur— Nevermind.

Reality fades away again as contradictory, intense emotions overtake your awake yet slumbering mind.

The discord is overwhelming at first, but gradually, you lock each one down with only the skill someone who's spent most of their entire life taming them to his will can, again displaying skill to match a master.

It continues for what seems like an eternity until it all fades back into nothingness.

You become absolutely nothing.

A vaguely lit ceiling hangs above your head.

Lifting your upper body, you feel your flesh.

>[X] Walk into your mistress' office, you're already in her bedroom.
>[X] "What exactly is your Dashade?"

You've spent more than enough time laying on your newfound lover's bed. Even though you don't have a watch on you or a piece of technology to tell you, it's easy for you to discern it's been some time: there is no exhaustion at all in your body and even your wounds from your previous training session seem to have healed. She could have also treated you with the Force, but that would've left some mark.

Sliding off the extremely comfortable bed, you walk into Nox's office.

"Master, your concubine has awoken." A familiar, alien voice says in a dead alien language you can only understand through the Force.

"I know Khem, I could feel him from here."

You blink at the giant force-user eating abomination before turning to your lover sitting behind her desk. "Where do you usually keep him? Did he just wander back to his old master's tomb yesterday or?"

"He was brooding over his dead master, yes."

"I should have died with him, I would have gladly been by his side in the end; no, I would've slain death itself."

Nox sighs. "You say that so often, I swear you rehearse it just to get on my nerves."

"What exactly is your Dashade?" The monster's odd eyes examine you as you ask.

"You already know exactly what he is."

Nodding, you hum. "But not how he functions. There aren't exactly a lot of beings in the galaxy that can resist the Force and devour Force Users for power."

"True, I've only ever met an Abyssin that could do the same."

"...Wait, what?"

"Don't go into Naga Sadow's tomb."

"That doesn't explain any of what you just told me. What the hell is in Naga Sadow's tomb?"

"Seh-run."

You shoot her a look. "Who the fuck is Seh-run?"

"Another friend of mine who eats Force Users in the form of acolytes. I helped him when I was an acolyte myself while your brutish father left the poor thing to die: another injustice he must answer for."

"...It's amazing the things you've both encountered in your lifetimes that you dismiss with the most casual words."

"Eh, he was no Khem."

You shake your head.

Either your new lover and your father really don't care about these sorts of things or they've encountered so many of them it's commonplace. Hopefully, you won't be as insane when your time begins. The Empire could use such beings and knowledge to their advantage.

Not trying to be pushy or anything. I just thought etiquette wise it wouldnt be a safe thing to say in front of someone so powerful.

Anyway I have an idea. Learning how to heal things through the Force would be a valuable skill. If we get the basics down then we can grab a PDA full medical info and of the local fauna. We could practice our medical know how by xhoping things up and seeing how long we can keep them alive before they die.
>>
>>4139522
Well I only voted for it because it was an option that would reference sith alchemy without outright asking about it, but I realized it didn't matter and that outright asking was probably better anyway.
And force healing is a light side skill right? Not a neutral force skill. So we'd need to familiarize ourself with the light side first.

It isnt nessassarily nessassary to be a light side user, considering Nox was able to heal.

>>4139534

The way I see it, healing is still healing, and having the capacity to heal would be a valuable assent in a scenario where we cant immediately get medical attention.

>(1/2)

Nox likely already knows you have some proficiency with Sith Alchemy. If not, she'd now know on account of you stating so in your thoughts. You might be able to shield them now, though: things are far more orderly in your mind and the way it synergizes with the Force. Still not that much of a concern around her really.

"I suppose Tulak Hord wouldn't have taught you any Sith Alchemy, Khem, would he?"

"There was no need of it, so no. My master may have been gifted in the dark arts, but he found them distasteful. He preferred fighting his enemies on equal ground: no alchemized Sith blades and no force powers."

You blink. "...Are we talking against Jedi here?"

"Yes." The Dashade nods. "He used a lightsaber with no special modifications or channeling crystals. Non-combatants were either pushed away via the Force or simply ignored even when they tried harming my Dark Lord."

"That sounds a lot like... something my father would do, more out of boredom than honor but still."

"The Je'narianjat's skill reminds me much of my master's; although, my lord had achieved a level of mastery in every form unprecedented by any other Sith in existence. I will not deny your sire would've equaled my master if not surpassed him in Juyo, however."

You part your lips only to find Nox's aura to be back in its normal suffocating-levels of toxic.

The only lover of yours crosses her arms and huffs in seething, impotent and jealous rage.

Clearing your throat, you turn your attention back at the obediant slave. "Khem, can I examine you through the Force? There's something I want to see."

Khem Val looks to his nodding master and focuss back on you. "As you wish, my master's concubine."

You twitch, shake your head, walk up to the behemoth of an alien, press a hand on his insanely firm chest, and close your eyes.

Learning to look at atomic structures, sequences of DNA, and other things that could only be seen through a microscope using the force was one of the first things Drenum taught you. It was necessary for learning how to rearrange and reform the atomic structure of an object into a different form you had already seen before. Quite the nifty, albeit useless outside of Sith Alchemy, trick. Finding out how DNA worked through lecture and deciphering the processes of it by experiencing it take place using the force left you disoriented for almost an entire hour though.

Unlike human but much like Sith DNA, the Force is more prevalent in what you think are his body-defining genes. There is some obvious tampering in the form of some functioning far too perfectly to be anything but modification but nothing one can't find in almost every sentient bipedal species, at least according to Drenum.

You open your eyes and step back from the behemoth.

If you ever get to the point you can modify DNA, you now have some idea of how to create a Dashade-like being or modify some of their traits into your guinea pigs.

After that we can check in on some of the other acolytes, practice our lightsaber skills, maybe get another trial.
We just need to remember to leave the practice sabers on the rack when we leave, since we are doing this trial without weapons.

>>
>>4139689
I do indeed sir!
With lightsaber forms how would they work in combat? Pick one style at the start and stick with it or change it every "turn" as we wished?
Or are we able to use a hybrid style to get bonuses without needing to keep swapping stances?

Other than that, I'm really enjoying this. Thanks for running
>>
>>4139696
You can fall back to some other styles. You can make the decision to attack in a different style and defend if you find one's disadvantages too inconvenient.

Some styles can't seamlessly switch to one another. Ataru and Juyo can't switch to Soresu or Makashi and vice versa. All forms can fall back to Shii-cho, Niman, or Shien. Schii cho because it's the foundation for the styles, Niman because it's all about moderation, and Shien because it is the compromise/melding between the ruthlessly attacking and efficiently defending/attacking styles

While you could risk the chance of getting tortured sexually for offending your mistress, you'd much rather have something to eat that wasn't connected to another person's groin. It is somewhere in the morning, possibly early afternoon, they should be serving something fitting in the mess hall, even though they serve food all day long. You're going to need something to eat if Nox has any plans for you soon or if you want to train anyway.

You turn to your mistress and smile. "Thanks for... everything. I'll be back, I just need to get a bite."

"What I gave you last night wasn't enough?" Nox coos.

"I can't subsist on it unfortunately."

The Darth whines as you make your way out of her office.

It doesn't take you long to get to the cafeteria, grab a tray of one of their current meals, and seat yourself in an isolated table away from everyone.

Not that far away, the brooding disappointment from yesterday scoffs at the sight of you.

The blatant insolence goes unanswered while you eat some of the scrambled alien eggs.

His uppity-ness will be answered eventually, but a part of you knows that he would probably appreciate being killed or trained to use that non-discriminant, childish anger of his. Really, letting him stew in his own hatred is the ultimate punishment. It's somewhat shallow and selfish of you, but it's not your fault some people enjoy killing themselves.

A hum rumbles in your throat.

Since your thinking of disappointments, the deviant and the bog rat have probably done what you did last night in the hospital room, replicating the amount of diseass that still remain in your maybe-maybe friend. It does seem like something that idiot Yang would do: man is just too childish. Then again, he may have abstained thanks to his naiveté.

Obsessing over the complete and utter failures of what would become Sith does not a good breakfast make. You'll enjoy what you can of your meal first before learning what happened to your pathetic acolytes after you left them. Not like any of them have anything else aside from you going on to really occupy their time. Acolytes don't typically start to kill each other or get involved in one another's business until the dangerous trials begin again according to some of the staff in this place.

Shrugging, you scoop up more of the ragged alien eggs and scarf them down before washing the residue down with your water.

The various strips of seared back-cut pork from different species of boar receive much better consideration.

Pleased hums thrum in your throat at the rich, savory taste of meat.

It's remarkably fattening, but someone with your workout regiment and natural physical qualities can quite easily avoid looking like a land whale in bipedal form.

Gulping down the last bits of xeno bacon, you grab an amber-like apple, chomping its literal fruitiness and juiciness down in several bites.

The sole surviving colorful array of grapes don't remain survivors for long.

You lick the droplets of juices still on your lips and sigh as your mind drifts back to your fuckups.

Arezoo, you didn't defile Yang, did you?

...Who said that?

It's me, I'm communicating with you through the Force.

Wow, you can do that!?

You roll your eyes.

For the love of... Don't talk, just think. I'm in your mind and you're... I wouldn't say in mine: you're more tethered because your mind is so pathetically weak.

I'm not dumb and I didn't have sex with Yang either; although, I wouldn't mind and now that you mention it...

Don't infect him with your degeneracy.

Phasing out of the ditz's mind, you reach out to your maybe maybe-friend's.

Hey Yang, where are you?

Yang is occupied, and you don't want to be around that filthy pink degenerate anymore than you have to. Could be some worth in finding the other acolytes in your pod who have potential. They could be disappointments too, but you have nothing better to do that isn't being trained by Nox, which you do appreciate of her. If they all turn out to be disappointments, you can kill them at the very least.

You close your eyes and Focus on the existential signatures ascribing to the people Arezoo described, the ones whose minds you read at the med bay.

A methodical, power-hungry woman's presence is concentrated and concentrating in the meditation chambers. Contrary to her and her position, a frightened and cracked mind lurks in the shadows of the dunes on Korriban.

Opening your eyes, you hum.

It would be easier to visit the Zabrak, but you've spent enough time indoors as is. Going too long without sun can severely hinder your body's reserves of Vitamin D that way. Might be fun to hunt down the kitten too: a good chance to test out your newly improved Force Concealment. First, you'll try and take some samples of the wildlife so you can better recreate Force-modified genes in the future.
>>
>(2/2)

You rise from your table seat to make your way from the mess hall, through the academy, and out into the sands of the Sith homeworld.

Three hours or so of bare-handed Dark Side wildlife hunting, local Dark Side flora picking, and DNA analyzing under the glaring sun passes by.

An exhausted sigh escapes your lips as you lay down in the shade of an overhanging cliff.

It took a lot longer than you thought it would to be satisfied with your results, but Korriban, like any planet, is home to literally thousands of species, even of the same family. You at least know that the Force-influenced genes within the local lifeforms are more natural in their mutations than Khem Val's all too perfect arrangement. Mystery as to who exactly created his kind or even your kind, one you may never know unless the Force truly was behind it all.

You furrow your brow when the presence of the Cathar moves a little too close to your location for comfort.

She's been not that far from you for some time but not near enough to warrant your caution. The faint thoughts you've glimpsed from her mind were too erratic and sudden to really comprehend. It's possible she's been following you without even knowing it through the draw of the Force. Poor kitten could even be possessed.

A hum murmurs in your throat.

It's your call.

Skills and abilities won't improve themselves if you never use them or try to. It will definitely surprise her and turn her hostile for a time. You might need to beat her until she can't even stand: a bit much but you want to use your force abilities. Surely you can make it up to her after with some nice wildlife meat roasted over an open fire.

You rise from the ground, dart to the edge of what you think is the alien's range, and vanish partly from this world.

The bipedal cat's movements don't seem to change much but they are towards where you rested.

Lurking around the corner in the shadows, you wait for the huntress to become your prey.

It takes about half an hour until whoever the Cathar is creeps into your former resting site.

"Where, where, where, where, where, where?" The cat person snarls. "The Great Danger was here, the Great Danger was close, the Great Danger cannot die, the Great Danger will pluck out many eyes." She hugs herself and whimpers. "He won't have mine, he won't have mine, he won't have mine, not like hers, he won't have mine!"

You, using the Force to reinforce your body, spring towards the alien.

Her ears flare too late at the gust of sand you leave behind, far too slow to stop your forearm from sliding around the woman's neck as you spin around her body to restrain her.

Several seconds pass before your newest acolyte falls unconscious to the sand.

Examining the claw marks on your arms, you cluck your tongue.

Nothing worth worrying about, but like any cat's scratches, they sting like hell.

Big fuck off attack dogs with some breeds being venomous, bred by ancient sith lords as a product of dark alchemy they are quite loyal to their masters when tamed and certain mutant offspring occasional turns up that live for a fuck of a long time as well as getting even bigger and nastier.
Said to have roughly the intelligence of a stupid person.

Really the thing that makes it attractive is it's alchemist origin, the status symbols such things may be presented as and the sheer viciousness of the creature make it a decent deterrent against lesser foes.

Nox didn't play around with your mind just to get off on her own insanely powerful abilities going to work on her favorite boytoy. At least, you hope that wasn't just her muddling you mind for shits and giggles. Only one real way to find out for sure.

You close your eyes and reach out to the Cathar's mind with your own.

It's obvious, even in spite of your inexperience with this subject, that she has suffered some major trauma. The image of another Cathar being eaten alive in the tomb of Ajunta Pall only confirms it. Not everyone can be as durable as Yang or yourself, something Arezoo could attest to.

Taking a breath, you do your best to disconnect the scarring memory from the major areas of her mind through finesse and sheer power, doing in a couple of seconds what would take months or even years through therapeutic means.

You rise from the sand and dust yourself off, giving the kitten whose name is actually Naziha Karimi a pat on the head before you leave to get you both some lunch.

Several minutes pass until you run across a small pack of four tuk'ata.

The two runts flank the bigger two as they all begin to snarl at your presence.

Clever formation but not enough to save them from you if you actually tried to kill them without holding back.

There is no more communicative language than body language, the language with millions of variants depending on person as well as species. Surely, this species of tuk'ata will recognize the meaning of your words in Galactic Basic using your body language as a cipher of sorts. It's not like the ancient Sith had absolutely no idea what the hell Galactic Basic was. Lot of overlap between modern Imperial Sith and Ancient Sith if it comes down to that anyway.

You glare into the beady glowing eyes of the planet's possibly most fearsome wildlife. "I'll take one of you under my wing, the other three will die here. You can fight each other, or I can kill 3 of you."

All four beasties growl and advance towards your seemingly defenseless form.

"Can you understand me now?" You ask in raspy yet melodic Imperial Sith, driving them to halt. "One of you can be my pet, the others will be meat."

Master blood thin in tall meat.

Blinking, you tilt your head at the four quadrupedal Sith animals. "Did... Did one of you just reach out with your minds?"

The biggest of the two roars and takes several steps closer to you.

Pack no meat, you meat. You who thin in master blood all meat. We make you fight other thin in master blood to death then eat you anyway.

I know some of you have the intelligence of a dull man, but... this is a bit much.

Too many words thought, me kill you now; me kill you and drag meat to mighty queen. Me ride Mighty Queen while she eats your thin master blood meat. Mighty Queen bare my brood of mighty children to make more mighty children. Great Father my name will be, remembered I will be as Great Father while you forgotten as bones.

You chuckle as the thing growls while advancing.

The wildlife have absorbed the attitude of their old masters it seems. Odd yet fitting they'd end up haveing something in common with Sith. A shame to kill it seeing as how it has aspiring dreams of its own. You do somewhat want to meet whatever this "Mighty Queen" is though.

None of them will respect you if you don't display strength. It's a bit of a waste to kill more than you could probably eat, which you could also use as pets too, but sometimes you have to sacrifice more than you want to for results. At the very least, you can have some baby back ribs alongside some delicious tuk'ata liver.

The air surrounding you pulses as you supercharge yourself with the Force like you did last night with Nox.

'Great Father' tenses but he along with his entourage aren't fast enough to defend against your first movement.

A red mist is all that's left of the other big tuk'ata behind him's head when your elbow smashes its skull as well as its contents.

Spinning on your right heel, you lift your left leg up and axe-kick one of the runt's heads off before shifting your weight on to it, crushing the other little one's skull into red pulp with your right foot in its descent back.

The ambitious, surviving tuk'ata lunges at you, undisturbed by your casual slaughter of his pack.

You duck under its large form, grabbing and dislocating one of his hind legs, and throw it down with you as you let yourself fall to the ground.

Rolling away and kip-upping to your feet, a small smile makes its way on to your face at the sight of your would-be crippled pet.

It would've definitely had you if you hadn't gone completely mad with your reinforcement. Lucky you still have three or two more of those supercharges left in you. Anymore than that, and you'll be using more than what your body has in it. Not exactly healthy to be relying so much on the "Potency" Force form: it may give you the ability to potentially kill a Jedi Master or Darth in a few surprise moves, but it's a crutch that should only be used to save you from a dire situation, like almost getting raped by Nox. Really, it was overkill to use on Naziha; although, it was your first time doing anything like that.

Masterblood thin but... strong in mystic ways.

You nod at the beast's thoughts.

Sith blood has its importance, but power is all that really matters to Sith, really anyone, in the end.

>[X] "I am your master now, Yield."

Lot of things you want to ask this giant deadly beast, but you have to bend it to you will first. After it submits, you can snap his leg back and go have lunch with his former pack providing the meat. Tuk'ata are cannibalistic, comes with the territory of being a ferocious wild beast obedient to a people that constantly kill each other for better or for worse.

"I am your master now, yield."

The beast snarls.

Guttural tongue, you speak. Thin master blood tongue better, can understand.

You blink and shake your head. "I am your master now, yield."

Whimpering, the canine-esque alien hangs its head and pulls back its ears.

A smile makes its way on to your face as you walk up to the animal and grab its wounded leg.

Mr. Not-Dog growls in pain when you reset his dislocated limb but walks it off.

You pet your new beastie, lift up his dead comrades with the Force, and make your way back to where you left your fearful would-be acolyte.

When you reach the shady spot, 'Great Father' sniffs the still slumbering Cathar.

No blood, strange blood.

The creature descended of ancient Sith alchemy bares its teeth at the alien girl.

Should eat?

You rip out the big corpse's kidney and hold it out to him. "No, eat this instead."

Without missing a beat, the thing turns and chomps the raw organ out of your hand.

A hum murmurs in your throat as you use the Force to press the blood off your hand, lifting stones up and setting them in a desert camp fire circle as well.

There's some kindling not far from here in the form of a sparse field, but you don't trust your new dog-like 'friend' alone with the cat-like being.

You shrug.

If it happens, you can just kill the damn thing and find another one.

The short time it takes for you to get some twigs and weeds fauna and get back is thankfully met with the sight of your tuk'ata pet not eating your trauma patient but laying near her, glaring down at her unconscious face.

You start up a fire, rip out one of the little meat's liver, and rotate it over the fire with the Force.

Quarter of an hour passes until the organ is just about done.

Licking your lips, you watch the meat finish cooking until a bloody scream shrieks through the air.

"Get the hell away from me!"

You wave at the furry alien backing up against the overhanging cliff while your new pet glares at her.

This is almost the exact same thing your father would do whenever he brought you out on camping trips. It's nice to be on the opposite side of the exchange for once.

You may as well have some fun while the girl is in a state where she'd eat up anything you present her. It could endear you to her in that mischievous trickster kind of way. Some people are like that, as your father was with Vette. Woman could never get out of that collar in spite of it, but by the time your father was willing to give her neck some room, she was already quite comfortable with its shocking jolts.

"My name's Magnus, Karimi. Do you remember me from when you first arrived on Korriban?"

The kitten blinks her big alien eyes. "W-Why the hell are you..." She turns back to the glaring tuk'ata. "Get it away from me!"

"Relax, he won't bite unless tell him too, won't he?"

Guttural tongue, cannot understand.

You roll your eyes.

Despite its ability to communicate, it still can't understand words' meaning through thought or Force inflection. Thing can still communicate with you through thoughts in Old Sith; although, you'll have to work on that. Nice to have a pet that can talk back to you for once.

A smile forms from your lips as you focus back on the cat acolyte. "I heard there's a sandshark that lives in one of the dunes here. Let's kill it after we eat."

"...What?"

"I'm just kidding, all the sandsharks on Korriban died out centuries ago."

"...What?!"

You chuckle. "Sorry, that's my father's humor. Are you feeling better now at least?"

"Um." The alien grabs its feline head. "Did you do something to me? I feel... different, like something is wrong, but I do not know what."

Raising a hand to your chin, you reach out to Naziha's mind with your own.

The trauma, the memory, is still there yet remains unconnected to her normal processes. Either it's lingering or, like a phantom limb, Naziha is processing the change in her mind. It'll take a little while for her to get over it but she will.

You levitate the cooked liver to you and bite a chunk out of it.

A pleased hum rumbles in your throat at the savory goodness of a roasted vital organ.

There's nothing more delicious than the meat from a fresh kill.

This is probably still all too confusing and strange for the poor cat. Better to ease her into reality again over thrusting her further into your madness. Food helps with that kind of thing, water is even better, but you're currently on a haunted desert planet.

"Relax, it'll pass in time. Insanity isn't really something you can cures."

Naziha blinks. "I was insane?"

"Uh-huh." You tilt your head. "Don't remember the moments that lead up to this? Think back on the days before this one."

"...Bloody hell, what the fuck happened to me?!"

"You saw someone get eaten alive for the first time, either a sibling or a friend judging by how intense the memory is. Could've just been the trauma of seeing that happen: I don't really understand, but that's more my upbringing than anything."

"It was... It was..." The alien hugs her knees and shivers.

Holding out the liver, you smile at the kitty cat. "Want some, Naziha? Come on, we've got plenty of meat."

"Can't eat meat... ever again."

"Oh come on, it's not going to bite back."

"They tore her face off and ate it..."

"Don't tell me you've never had liver before or want to go the rest of your life without tasting it again."

Naziha's shakes lessen as she sighs, choosing to inch towards you instead of tolerating your blatant apathy for her suffering.

While the girl does her best to nibble some cooked organ off, you—to her surprise—stroke the back of her head.

Ms. Cute and Formerly-Crazy gulps down he morsels of meat while doing her best to avoid eye-contact with her fuzzy face.

You laugh before turning to your pet tuk'ata.

"Do you have a—" You clear your throat. "Do you have a name"

Great Father when I ride Mighty Queen.

"Well, that name is terrible and you need a better one to impress her. How about Pierce?"

Pierce, what is meaning of 'Pierce.'

"To pierce"

Thin-blooded master wise, I Pierce.

Smiling, you hold out the liver.

"Want some, boy?"

Pierce turns his head.

Better bloody and fresh.

A hum thrums in your throat.

He is a wild animal: his kind are evolved to process raw meat better and prefer it that way.

You take a bite out of the liver for yourself.

Poor mutt doesn't know what he's missing out on.

>(1/2)

Human foreigners tend to settle into the Empire more than any other sentient. While aliens have been given citizenship since Malgus' Insurrection, there's still a lot of unsavory views your people have of them. You could hardly blame them however: Arezoo's degenerate kind, Trandoshans, Hutts, Devaronians, and numerous other savage xeno scum exist in the galaxy. Even the ones usually tolerated have their downsides. Vette and your father's casual indifference to everyone helped you see them in a better light, but you still know a majority are severely lacking. They all still have their uses, however.

Walking over to one of the corpses, you pull out one of the runts' kidneys and levitate it over the roaring fire.

Naziha looks at your casual display of power with some interest.

You wave your hand free of some blood as you walk back and sit down by her. "Not all Cathar speak in an Imperial accent. Raised under our occupation of Taris?"

Sighing, the feline sentient nods. "I grew up in an Imperial military outpost. The soldiers and other Imperial citizens treated my kind like stray cats. Some sold themselves into slavery, enlisted for citizenship, or made a living scavenging, making ourselves useful as more than just a cute thing to pet and feed from time to time."

"I assume you scavenged? Not everyone can avoid what stalks the sands of this planet."

"Yes, I did and not alone until..." She shakes her head free of the brutal memory. "It doesn't matter, not anymore." Karimi tilts her head. "Not all Imperials speak with a hint of Republic in their accent either."

Shrugging, you lean back to lay on the cool sand. "You can blame my mother and my family's slave... assassin? Mischievous alien pet? For that. I'm surprised you can notice it."

"Accents are obvious when you've been around other peoples long enough: Taris is filled with refugees, alien colonizers, and mercenaries. They tend to talk a lot. Was your mother a defector?"

"I guess you could say that."

"The Overseer, Tremel was it? Said your father is the Emperor's Wrath. Doesn't that make you nobility? Why did your father marry a defector of all people he could in his station?"

"Well, the defector was a gifted Jedi with a Force Ability unseen in recorded history he tormented, twisted, and seduced into his loyal servant. I'm not even sure if that is the reason: my mother has stated time and time again my father's intentions are completely unknowable, even with the power of the Force. I didn't understand what that meant but now..."

Naziha moves to looks down at you from her seated position. "That's impossible isn't it? I've heard countless stories about the Force, the Sith, and the Jedi. Even I can feel it now and see it everywhere on this planet: the power of the Force is limitless."

"Without a doubt, but that's not why his intentions can't be known. It's something beyond the Force... something no one who serves it could comprehend."

The cat person raises an eyebrow at your words but says nothing as she possibly, rightfully, definitely views them as philosophical-esque nonsense.

Shifting to your side, you look to your tuk'ata.

"So, who is this Mighty Queen of yours, Pierce?"

Mighty Queen is Mighty Queen: Greatest Bitch of Blood Prowlers, miraculous sole child of Greatest Father, Pale Huntress, One Brood, She-Who-Ruts, my future mate.

You raise an eyebrow. "Mighty Queen sounds powerful and important."

Mighty Queen the most powerful and most important of Blood Prowlers, of all t'akatan.

A hum murmurs in your throat.

That doesn't explain anything, but you can pry deeper, of which you probably will after you eat the newly cooked kidney.

She was skittish at first, but the trauma seems to have faded somewhat thanks to your rapport. Out of all the acolytes with 'potential,' you like her best so far. Hopefully she doesn't turn out to be a disappointment like the other two. As for Pierce, he needs to elaborate on his Mighty Queen and the native Tuk'ata. It's odd yet interesting how they've formed their own little culture since your kind have been gone.

"Want this one, Naziha?" You levitate the kidney to the kitty. "I can take and cook the other."

She grasps the roasted organ and tears a chunk out of it. "Thank you." Blinking her big and vibrant blue eyes, the alien glances at you. "Wait... I never told you my name."

"I learned it in when I fixed your head."

Humming, Karimi returns her attention to her gifted lunch.

You, in turn, focus back on your big scaly boy. "Explain it to me, I'm new to Korriban."

Mighty Queen sole child of Greatest Father, Devourer of the Nagasadowun. Very mighty Mighty Queen is, almost as mighty as Greatest Father. T'akatan go feral if Mighty Queen wills it. Space rends, earth cracks, air whirls. Jen'jidari of all t'akatan Mighty Queen is, you understand?

A scoff spits from your lips.
>>
>(2/2)

On top of being hard to understand, the bastard mutt is also insolent to mix the terms of the first Sith with the Emperor's rightful title. The entire species are a breed of mongrels who've forgotten who they belong to if they really accept the Mighty Queen as 'Jen'jidari.' There can only be one Jen'ari, whatever form the title takes.

You focus back on your more pleasant company. "Just what can you do with the Force? Did you pick anything up from the temple?"

"I can feel some people from afar." Naziha gulps down some kidney. "...And I can hear the rakghoul dog's thoughts: can't really understand them though. I barely know a handful of words in Sith and whatever that thing is thinking in sounds like it but ancient."

Blinking, a hum murmurs in your throat. "I was wondering why you didn't bring up my pet-talking. Keep up the thought listening around people who are less tight-minded: you'll learn to understand their meaning through inflection than knowledge of the actual meaning."

"I'll keep that in mind."

You focus back on the 'rakghoul' dog. "Communicating by thought all you know of the Force, Pierce?"

Pierce move space, make fang strong.

Relaxing against the cool shaded sand, you stretch yourself out against it.

Not bad but not great.

Eh, I'm normally slow as a turtle but I don't feel the passage as much.

>>4145662
Interregnum, the quest that more or less made me make this one. We were some Jedi Shadow nobody who had the skill of a high-level padawan but still a bitch compared to anyone who really mattered.

QM made a lot of railroading decisions, which would be forgiven if he more or less hadn't outed them as railroading. The complete lack of options or meaningful ones at that kind of killed whatever interest or defenses I had of that quest.

I'll admit that most of my options are flavor, but they do open up paths that can completely change the direction of the quest. Like, my main quest went extremely well as it did just because one of my voters decided to ask the seemingly most unreliable member of their for advice on how to deal with the arc villain.

They got the best ending possible for that chapter.

>>4145676
hmmm... I dunno, I felt like it might have come out of nowhere but it seemed reasonable enough, and with the later reveal that it was the mother's representative it gave it's power some definition... as for carbonite grill, tbf what happened to her happened immediately with the purge, so there was no preventing that fate, just salvaging it. It's like in rpgs where the mc's village gets burned down, or his parents get killed, there's no reason to act until then.
but yeah the quest over for now so...

I'm probably going to end up asking how the other option would've effected the outcome when we get to the point where the consequence becomes obvious.

That's what I said. We knew dicking crazy was a bad idea, we did it anyway because there are no breaks upon this train.

Besides, dad probably won't mind and mum tortures us already.

It's obvious that there's a lot of degradation of the old Sith language thought by Pierce. You can understand most of it, but that's only thanks to the Force. Nagasadowun can't be Naga Sadow though. Likely, it was a servant of his, possibly of alchemy: there were quite a lot of those back in the Sith Golden Age. Just as easily, it could've been some random alchemical beast they thought was Naga Sadow's. You'll probably never know for sure.

"Who was the Nagasadowun?"

Nagasadowun spawn of Naga Sadow, mightiest abomination of t'akatan eaters. Greatest Father felled Nagasadowun, fed to Mighty Queen's weak mother. Greatest Father rode Mighty Queen's weak mother: spawning the One Brood, Pale Huntress, miraculous sole child of Greatest Father.

You hum.

Other alchemical beasts are "t'akatan eaters" it seems. Nagasadowun was probably thought to be his or was his before it was killed. How feeding such a beast to a bitch and breeding her would produce a powerful child is beyond you though. The Force, however, would likely have a hand in it.

Focusing back on your curious cat, a sigh escapes your lips. "We have been out here long enough. Unless you fancy a challenge against me, lets go back to the academy."

"What are you going to do with those?" Naziha points to the tuk'ata corpses of Pierce's fallen pack.

"I'm sure some of the cooks we have back in the mess hall would love to learn how to cook one of these scaly beasties."

The big kitty turns to your brutish dog. "...And?"

"He's my new pet." You stroke the side of Pierce's snout, making him stiffen. "And being 'nobility' has its perks."

Humming, Karimi stays otherwise silent.

You rise from the sand, levitate the fresh corpses of fearsome yet tasty beasts, and beckon for your new animal friends to follow your lead.

It doesn't take you long to reach the Academy fortifications.

Posted sentinels level their guns on your pet but lower them at your gesture.

When you enter the Academy proper, target of many a wary eye, you Force the bodies of the tuk'ata into the hands of some nearby sentries. "Take them to the mess hall cooks, please. Tell them it's a gift."

The men blink, nod, and follow your orders.

You pet Pierce as he strides to your side.

What a lovely and productive evening you've had.

Man is your maybe-friend and in need of more beatings than a normal person could usually take. He must realize his insolence for so easily falling for some luscious pink skin. Even if the filthy degenerate may look attractive and seem demure, one cannot lay or fall for such a being. The literal bastard will learn in due time.

Yang, want someone else to kick your ass?

For the love of... I'm already completely sore.

A frown forms from your upside down lips.

That wasn't a request.

Why did you phrase it as a question then?

In order to crush your hopes for reprieve, of course.

You can feel the Hutta rat groan before you make your way to the med bay.

Maybe-only-friend's head is hiding underneath his own hand-held self-smothering pillow when you get to his usual bunk. "Please, I'm no use to any—" He throws the pillow off his head. "...What in the Fa'athra Scrapyards is by your side and why the hell did they let you in with it?"

"This is Pierce." You headpat the giant fearful-eye drawing tuk'ata. "He's my new pet."

"A normal dog wasn't sufficient enough for your Sithiness?" His gray eyes shift to Karimi. "You got the kitty too?"

Naziha grabs the hilt of her training saber and smacks the bog rat on his bandaged head, returning it to its strap all in one fluid movement.

Yang sighs, refusing to dignify his batterer with a response.

Chuckling, you enjoy your promising acolyte and once promising acolyte's staredown.

Both of them fit each other much better than that reddish-pink tramp.

You can torment just Yang, but that would be limiting the amount of potential you could fester in your acolytes. Better to have them both facing an almost unbeatable monster to form a bond between them as well as you. Sure, they may look upon you with hatred but that will get them where they need to be.

"Pierce, you could use a warmup. Try not to kill them."

Broken bones they will be.

The rookie acolytes blink at you and share a look with one another.

Petting your brutal beast, you laugh as sinisterly as you can. "Lead him to the training grounds. If anyone asks you what he's doing in the academy, tell them he's a pet of the Faxerus household. Don't stop until you're absolutely sure you can't continue."

"Do we have to?" Yang whines.

You level your eyes with his, giving him his only answer.

Karimi crosses her arms. "What makes you think I'll fight your litt—"

Pierce roars at the cat.

"I'llhappilyobligeyou, milord!" Naziha bows.

Another chuckle warms your chest. "This is where we go our separate ways, I've got a 'Mighty Queen' to meet with and she might get jealous if she knows I'm with two cute little bastards."

Yet again, the two acolytes share confused looks before you exit the medbay.

Several minutes pass in your walk from the medical facility to your lover's office.

Nox is resting her head on a fist while her other hand inputs actions into her desk computer when her eyes dart up to gleam at your adequate form. "Well, well, well!" She purrs. "Look what the desert winds blew in."

You shoot her a playful look. "Did I interrupt something important?"

The Darth scoffs. "I preside over ancient knowledge of the Sith, you did not."

A hum murmurs in your throat.

While she should have more respect from your shared history, you can't blame her for finding her job boring.

Best to ask the questions on your mind now than to have her break in and pretend to not know what you're talking about when you rightfully accuse her of doing so. It's not like asking her why she looks and feels so young for her age won't offend her: she'll probably take it as a compliment. Her enemies are a major concern on account of her being one of the most powerful people in the Empire.

"Do you have any enemies I should be wary of? I am... whatever I am to you now."

"You are my concubine, Magnus. Don't be shy or ashamed: many would kill to be in your position."

Humming again, you tilt your head at her words.

Nox's eye twitches. "...I suppose I'll just leave you in dangerous ignorance."

"Okay, I'd gladly kill everyone on this planet, all your admirers, and even your Dashade to lay with you naked in your chambers again."

"That's more like it." The Darth smirks. "All you really need to fear are Sith interested in an apprenticeship, the Dark Council members unafraid of your father and I that are interested in power games, and rival cults to my own."

You blink. "Can you give me names or?"

"Any lower Sith would kill to be my apprentice or my concubine, Darth Malora is the only one currently on the council that puts her own interests ahead of the Empire's, and there are any number of foolish people looking for salvation from someone else in the galaxy."

Cringing at the councilor's name, you take a breath in through clenched teeth.

"Yes, tricking her apprentice into teaching you Sith Alchemy was quite the little deception of yours. When you factor in that both me and your father outed her schemes to her former master back in our academy days, the idea of her being pleased with your manipulation of her protege becomes very hard to believe.

You sigh.

It seems you'll have to deal with that when it comes to it, but first... you need sate your curiosity.

"You know your body is pretty amazing... almost too much." A smile makes its way on to your face as Nox giggles. "In fact, father often says you haven't aged a day since you were a Sith Lord... Why is that?"

"...I was suffering from a side-effect caused by my connection to the Dark Side. I solved it... forever."

Raising an eyebrow, you tilt your head. "You found a permanent cure for Dark Side corruption?"

"Yes and no. It could be considered that, but that's not at all what it is."

"What is it then? What happened to you?"

"...'Twice transmuted and reborn to the Mother.'"

You, again, blink. "...I'm going to need a little more to go on that."

"Almost all sentient species were brought into this galaxy by the Mother, Ashaa. Brushed with what lies beyond, transmuted to withstand toxic waste, transmuted with death itself, and remade by the Mother."

"...What?"

Nox cackles. "Going through certain events that altered me physically and mentally allowed me to fulfill an ancient alien prophecy."

"That doesn't explain any of what you just told me!"

"I don't expect you to... ever understand. Maybe if you walked the same path I did, but that would require gifts one has to be born with."

You stare at the madwoman in complete silence.

She is either completely insane or knowledgable of things beyond any other Sith's comprehension.

"...Can you train me again? I know it's all I ever ask of you, but I'm going to need it if you and I are going to be together."

The Dark Council member shrugs. "Why not? I have more than enough time." She stands form her seat. "What would you like training in?"

A hum murmurs in your throat.

Man, At least we got the alchemy.

Lets see......Force healing, Mind manipulation [2], Force absorbtion.

I think that takes our manipulation to master level, which is a good place for it to be.
And yes, I did take absorbtion just to make "sucking dry" jokes.
>>
>>4147134
I forgot to mention anything past Advanced has to roll, which is why I made you roll for when Nox took your mind out for a ride.

You rolled two crits which got you +4 Experience Points/5 and one success which elevated that to 5/5, advancing you to Expert Level Mind Manipulation.
>>
>>4147134
what about beginning makashi training?

>>4147138
In that case, if we select it twice we roll twice the amount right.
>>
>>4147138
Huh.....So 2 mind manipulations means we get two rolls to make it master level?
Or is it to raise it to master level then grand master?
>>
>>4147141
Fair enough, Let's drop Healing then to get some makashi going.
Nox is an expert while we have 0 ranks in it.

Droping healing from here>>4147134 replace with Makashi lightsaber training
>>
>>4147141
You roll twice. Every success gets you +1 XP. Critical Successes get you +2.

That was also from training with a Grandmaster, granting you the full amount of XP one can earn from training.

I really don't want you to learn in one week what takes people normally their whole lives or several years.
>>
>>4147143
+1
huh, i figured you'd drop force absorption, but i guess it's more flexible than healing right?

>>4147144
So if we were pioneering we'd earn like .5 xp points per training or something?
>>
>>4147145
Depends on the magnitude of your training. If it's some weak shit .1 or .2. Good shit .5

Successfully doing something insane will get you +1.

Successful doing something absolutely LEGENDARY will get you +5
>>
>>4147146
Would legendary be stuff like splitting stars or erasing planets? Or just something someone's never done before that seems useful enough.
>>
>>4147150
Pulling down a star-ship cruiser, killing a Dark Council member in single combat, grievously wounding your father, owning a Jedi Council member, beating a Legend at their own game in general, killing countless force-using enemies single-handedly, and numerous other crazy shit.

Like, if you could Tulak Hord an entire army of Jedi, that would significantly improve any or all of your Lightsaber form skills.

Critting, of course, gets you +10
>>
And to fully explain this weird XP mechanic I have never done:

Basic: Time
Advanced: Time
Expert: 0/5 XP
Master: 0/10 XP
Grandmaster: 0/15 XP
>>
>>4147145
Yeah mostly. Healing is a nice thing to have don't get me wrong, but with absorbtion we can just no-sell any force powers below our level and partially negate some above us.
And when you remove force powers from the list of shit that can hurt you, sith become a largely physical threat.

>>4147152
>Tulak hording a jedi army
Hmm.....
>>
>>4147152
Well that's a nice reference list.

>>4147153
XP doesn't roll-over right, it's 30 total?

>>4147155
Ya think we could get good enough to rip the sith alchemy secrets from Malora's head before she comes trying to kill us for humiliating her?
>>
>>4147156
With grand master mind manipulation, Maybe.
Will we be able to then escape retribution for such an act? Probably not.

I say, from my limited understanding of all the skills and powers, that the 4 "supreme" combat powers/skills are Absorbtion, physical empowerment, juyo. makashi and channel force. With all of these at max level, we could probably wipe the fuck out of a council member/anybody or at least stand the best chance of doing so.

Juyo is an instant kill on a number 20 or higher, empowerment can give us up to a +12 modifier with force channeling, you can see where I am going with this.
Only their defense bonuses are gonna help em.

There are many, many things you can practice training with Nox in but you feel your dueling, Mind Manipulation, and Force Absorption need refinement the most. Sure, you know Juyo, but that leaves you open to Force Abilities due to the special state you enter. You'll fall back on it when confronted with Force ability-reliant Force users for now. Mind Manipulation and Force Absorption require no real thought: you're advancing well in one and the other's usefulness is unparalleled.

"I understand you're proficient with Makashi?"

Nox raises an eyebrow. "Yes, but you already know Juyo, don't you? They're exact opposites, you can't just switch from one to the other so easily."

"I know." You nod. "Just want to know the basics is all. Maybe even learn how to mix or adapt it with Juyo into my own style."

The Darth cackles as she moves out from behind her desk, levitating a nearby training staff into her hands and flinging a practice saber into yours. "Khem would call you a foul mockery of Tulak Hord for saying that."

Several hours of adapting to Makashi's strict movements, getting beaten like a dog, enduring the occasional spontaneous Force Lightning, and being groped mid-combat pass until your mistress declares you a 'basic Makashi boy.'

>Lightsaber Form Learned: Basic Makashi

You fall to your knees, letting go of your stick, and sigh. "...Let's try some more Mind Manipulation. It'll help me focus after... all of that."

Nox taps you in the forehead with the tip of her staff, sending you into chaotic darkness again.

Various memories, thoughts, and strange periods of nothingness flow through your mind. Gradually, you begin to stop the flow and shorten the periods your mind blankens.

You open your eyes and realize more than a few hours have passed while you were unconscious.

>Expert Mind Manipulation Experience Gained: 2/10

A familiar-looking abomination pulls you up by your hand and shoves you towards your mistress. "Your concubine is awake, master."

"I noticed. Thanks anyway, Khem."

Groaning, you shake your head free of its jumbled thoughts. "Force Absorption, let's move on to Force Absorption."

"Aren't you tired, Magnus?" Nox grins. "Wouldn't you like to rest beside me in bed?"~

"Right after I improve my Force Absorption."

Rolling her orange-yellowish Sith eyes, the Darth shocks you with Force Lightning.

Three torturous hours pass until the jolts of lightning phase into Force energy within your lightning-scarred body.

You collapse on to the ground, a fried piece of meat.

>Force Ability Improved: Advanced Force Absorption

Cooing, Nox saunters over to you and molests you genitals as she did the last time she deliberately shocked you with Force Lightning. "Would you like to rest in your own bed or mine?" She grips your testicles. "...Well?"

A groan escapes your lips.

You're far too tired for this.

How are you guys? Lockdown going good?

Thoughts or questions you want to ask before I turn in?
>>
>>4147243
Just a few:
How do we gain new force forms?
Ask for training?
Meditate on it?
Go on obtuse quests around the galaxy until you gain ancient knowledge?

Oh, and would meditating on the light side of the force increase our familiarity with it?
And while I'm at it, what are the best light side abilities the dark side doesn't have?
The Jedi must do something right if they always come out on top, even if the Sith regularly shoot themselves in each-others backs.
>>
>>4147243
Lockdown's a bit scary but it's probably gonna be fine.

>>4147246
The jedi largely come out on top because the sith keep shooting themselves in the foot then shooting the man next to them in the back.
Once the sith have decided to bend over and try to balance on a tightrope over a ravine, all the jedi need to do is weight till there is a gentle gust of wind and start hitting them with a stick until they fall over.

The jedi through most of history has gotten used to winning, so really just waits for the sith to bleed themselves to death.
>>
>>4147246
Gain mastery in several force abilities or grand mastery in one.

Force Mastery will reveal itself to you
>>
>>4147254
Oh yeah, are you only allowed grandmastery in one power and fighting style? or can you work to be the best, like no-one ever was?
>>
>>4147256
Tulak Hord had grandmastery in every lightsaber form.

Master of the Gathering Darkness was not to be fucked with.
>>
>>4147257
I wonder then, was he able to switch between styles effortlessly?

And to the general thread, who is thinking it would be a bad idea to go dig up a ghost to ask for it's secrets?
>>
>>4147250
I know the constant backstabbing was what killed the sith empire and let the jedi rebuild, but you still need a general amount of competence to be able to defeat those who did the backstabbiing.

Is the light side just more serene? Is it better at forging connections with people? Is it better for centering yourself? There must be something that could give Magnus a new perspective to consider or incorporate.

Personally I'm curious about force bonds since they're pretty flexible.

>>4147261

>>4147224
This, but if Nox really wants a go uh. I guess throw around the idea of Potential Release for extra kinky sex or if that's literally the only way he can do it?

>>4147269
Can we combine various skills we have proficiency in on certain tasks? Say for example we have a basic first-aid skill and expert with alchemy. If we have bare minimum medical equipment and supliment what we dont have with Sith Alchemy creativity, would we roll to heal a would using the higher of the two modifiers (3/4), or add them both for the test (4/5)? I forgot if expert is a +3 or a +4.
>>
>>4147267
The lightside is that of serenity. I am going off old lore, because fuck disney lore, The lightside is the force.
It is being at one with the universe and knowing that everything is as one. Peace and calm, a clear mind.

The dark is inbalance, our of sync, wrath and pain and agony and sadism and chaos. To scream and rend the galaxy while the power you abuse eats you up from inside out like a fire, needing more and more fuel to keep going until you go out with a bang or wither to nothing.

The sides are not actually stronger than one another, inherently. It's just that one takes a lot more work to maintain [the light] and a person's cool can be pretty easily disrupted with fear and pain and anger which just so happens to be what sith and combat specialize in bringing about.

So in answer to your question, The sith rewards selfish and self serving betrayers while the light doesn't. Magically, the jedi with their uniform and trusted ranks of knights overpower the sith who often can have 1000 men on the same field yet they all stand alone.

>>4147283
Hmmm, well if we serve neither side, then we can just act selfish sometimes, and not backstab people.
And I'm sure Magnus could use a clear mind every now and then.
Not like his existence is being held together by rage or something like that.
>>
>>4147304
Lightning hits everywhere mate.

And we are "honorably ruthless" ala Vader. We serve the sith because that's how we have been brought up but we don't go stabbing people because that's just bad for buissness.
>>
>>4147336
I thought vader acted that way out of apathy, not honor. The only thing he had left at that point was his dream of making the galaxy work properly.
>>
>>4147341
Vader was a fantastic battle leader and a potent general. The people he executed were executed for dis-obeying his orders and later for grievous failure [which outside of the films he never really did all that often].

That's also how our father acts, as a leader first and foremost with executions generally reserved for those who deserve it. Suprise that we took after him.
>>
>>4147341
>>4147347
Because I sidestepped the point, Vader didn't do it because of honour but how he was seen due to his actions was "honourable"
>>
>>4147347
>>4147352
Then that would bring up the question of whether or not Magnus sees himself the way the stat sheet says he is.
We also took up helping others even if there's no benefit to ourself from our mom right?
>>
>>4147357
Eeeh....I mean, we are training other people to be better at killing us so that killing them isn't a cakewalk.

That really sound like "no benefit" to you?
>>
>>4147525
Well maybe I should rephrase it as "no reasonable benefit"? Since even if we trained all of them I'm not sure how much they would internalize in 1 year, not to mention how many would die, or the people we deem disappointments (I laugh every time I read that twi'lek's rant) that at the end they might be somewhat stronger; but we'd be way stronger than them even comparing to when we got here. I feel like most reasonable Sith would've given up on finding a promising acolyte and just fucked off into the desert to go be a badass for a few months.
>>
>>4147542
You're wrong in that most reasonable sith would fuck off. Most would use their power to impose dominance on their weaker peers and just skate through school being waited on hand and foot by their inferiors.
Those with a work ethic would ignore the acolytes and go after the teachers to teach them further.

As for no reasonable benefit, you are correct. there is none unless we train them personally, because that is learning how to teach people shit, a valuble skill later in life.
>>
>>4147553
Kinda slipped my mind for a bit that sith had a social culture build around dominance, but wouldn't heading out into the wilds and coming back in one piece be dominant enough to secure your position?
So long as anybody actually paid attention to your Exit and Entrance.

>tfw the test is to see how many acolytes you pick that are actually moldable instead of trash.
>>
>>4147557
Not really. Korriband is a dead world with inhospitable climates and a few surviving uber predators.

Surviving out there isn't really a "worthy challenge" it's just difficult.
>>
>>4147593
aw, lame.
yeah if that's the case I would understand just getting all your inferiors to worship you while getting stronger yourself.

>[X] "Why does this excite you so much? I am in agony."
>[X] "...Can we just cuddle?"

>(1/2)

While you can be quite the sadist yourself sometimes, like you were with your acolytes, it's not like you to so brazenly enjoy torturing someone until they can no longer stand. It's really quite unseemly of the woman, but she is your mistress, and you will have to endure it now. Hopefully, she learns to express her affection through more loving than abusive actions.

"Why does this excite you so much?" You whine. "I am in agony."

"Oh, Magnus, that is exactly why it's so exciting! There is almost nothing more pleasing than the sight of someone's face contorted in agony or ecstasy, they're really both two sides to the same coin. I can't wait until you start enjoying it: you'll become a much happier person as the masochist you are."

"...Can we just cuddle?"

"Of course." Nox coos. "You are far too tired to rut like a buck again anyway."

A pleased hum whimpers in your throat as your lover picks you up and carries you to her chambers.

While you are stripped of your clothes, nothing more happens than a little groping before you are cuddled to sleep.

...

...

You open you eyes to what is Nox's candle-light flickering chamber ceiling but obviously not.

>(2/2)

A familiar yet unfamiliar dark presence nuzzles against you from your left.

Turning, you see Dark Side energy in the form of a woman embracing your side. "...Are you?"

"Yes and no, it doesn't matter." It kisses your cheek. "You are like her now."

That doesn't explain much, but you've come to expect as such from everyone in your life.

A completely foreign, tranquil presence taps your side.

Blinking, you turn to see a boyish blue yet still feminine figure of tranquil Force Energy to your right on the bed but not embracing your form.

"Don't be the prude as You always are, embrace him."

"You know I don't take what I want like You! N-Not that I want him or anything or anyone! I have to be embraced. People have to seek me out for themselves. I can't make them do whatever they don't want to."

"Neither can I yet many will still blame me." The entity sighs. "It's all so tiresome."

"That's hardly unique to You either."

"Oh please, that only happened in a meaningful way one time and she blamed both of us. Nevermind, we're getting off topic." The Dark Side figure runs a hand down your chest. "She's being a prude as always,, which means you'll have to take what you want by force. Don't worry, She may complain but She actually loves being taken and violated. It's why so many of Her worshipers become mine. Go on ahead."

You blink.

There is no idea you have in your mind that can explain any of what the fuck is going on right now.

This, with a measure of "what the fuck"

>>4148795
Yeah, going from getting finger fucked to this should be somewhat jarring.

>>4148795
>>4148796
just as confused as magnus, eh?
>>
>>4148803
I think it wold be somewhat in character, but maybe more a comment in his mind about how his dreams just become more and more odd the longer he's on this planet.
I don't think I'm confused, it seems to me to be the dark side trying to tempt him back over fully, and the light side bashfully waiting for acceptance, or something along those lines.
>>
Anyone else feel like sharing their thoughts on what this dream means? It might seem obvious to me but I miss stuff all the time so I'm curious about what others think.

Power is power in whatever form it takes, its origin is inconsequential unless there are conditions caused by the gaining. The Dark Side only corrupts when one lets it rule them rather than aid them. Obeying 'the will of the Force' will make one a slave to what they think an omnipresent non-sentient power wills, which is to say absolutely nothing but their own flawed intuition. Even though you don't understand what the hell is going on, you'll take all you can get.

"I'm not that kind of guy." You grab the Dark Side entity and the Light Side entity by their rumps, drawing cries of surprise and glee from them.

"But you have become your own man." She purrs.

"I know you will use me however you see fit, but please, at least use me responsibly: I don't want to become like Her." She pleads, kissing your cheek facing Her.

"Please, You are already me and mine."

A sigh escapes your lips. "...Seriously, what the fuck is happening?"

"We are yours." She nuzzles against your face with her vague one. "Use us however you like... in a responsible manner."

"Dominate us with your will." She cuddles up to your side, placing a hand on your stomach.

"Own us and become one with us."

"Violate us and corrupt us."

"Purify us and define us.

They kiss one another, red and blue tongues lapping at one another in rapturous shame and pleasure for your sake. "Please, give us your eternal use we serve no other purpose than to be used at your leisure." Breaking away, they kiss you from their opposite sides.

Unlimited power surges through you and breaks apart reality as both seep into your body and become one with cries of ecstasy.

...

...

You open your eyes to Nox's real candle-light illuminated ceiling and take a deep breathe to sigh with.

The mistress you're sleeping with is still unconscious while you have something she would have been delighted to have last night.

>[ ] Pierce, please don't tell me you got killed by any of the sentinels here. That would be really disappointing.
>[ ] Track down the 'hater' you want something to work your frustration through in a non-sexual manner.

The long awaited Nox wake up scene! (That nobody was anticipating.)
>>
>>4149003
>[ ] Write In.
Dont wake her up. That's like kicking the Hornets nest, same as leaving without giving her a good bye kiss. Leta wait until she wakes up. Til then, sense four our dog, Yang and the pink ho and see what happened during their training.
