[facultative]

Who: Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (facultative) and you!
What: November catchall
When: Throughout November
Where: Various

Content Warnings: violence
i. no fighting
[By this point Anakin is looking like a textbook example of what advanced corruption looks like. Fanged teeth, fever and glassy, bloodshot eyes and an unwillingness to seek treatment has most of the locals giving him a wide berth. He's already drawn his lightsaber against quite a few people who had tried to assist him.

Perhaps your character is minding their own business or perhaps they’re keeping a wary eye on a clearly volatile young man. Regardless Anakin will notice them for whatever reason.]

What are you looking at?

ii. potential for violence
[The next person that tries to convince him to seek help hangs suspended in the air as they try to grapple with the invisible force holding them by the throat.]

Do I look like I need help?

[Slowly Anakin increases the pressure and their eyes bulge before they catch another character’s eyes, one hand leaving their neck to frantically gesture for help.

Otherwise use i. or make up your own prompt! This is mostly so I know who doesn't mind things escalating.]

iii. obi-wan
[Anakin had been hard to locate last month with his bloodtype allowing him to seemingly vanish into thin air, but the new month had removed that advantage and it was only a matter of time before he ran into his old master.]

You look tired.

[He looks worse, but he feels better than he has in a long time. Releasing the weight of his previous indecision having a greater impact than the effects of corruption. He draws his lightsaber, revealing the red blade as he points it against Obi-Wan.]

Last chance to walk away.

And what are you going to do now? Terrorize the populace?

[Maul sounds bored on the verge of falling asleep. He was going to give Obi-Wan an adult-sized harness and leash for his idiot padawan so that he could be kept track of.]

Isn't that your job? I know my place in the world, while you flail about trying to find meaning.

[Anyone that stood in his way needed to be removed, but he didn't need to go find people to kill.]

[Maul doesn't let himself be ruffled by the words. When he first came to Deerington, he'd been purposeless, lost, and unsure of where to go next. Now he knows he's on an unknown path but he's not treading it alone. He'll be fine.

He gives Anakin a contemptuous up-and-down look.]

Hmmm, yes, you do seem to have found your place, kneeling at the foot of my former master and serving as his little lapdog.

[The Force chills further, influenced by his emotions. The dark side will linger here long after they're gone from this place.]

I serve no one.

Never again.

[survivalthroughhate]

[Maul can feel that shift in the Force and it makes his senses curl inwards, want to leave this place immediately. But Maul won't show any fear in the face of this snotty upstart.]

If not, then what are you doing with this newfound power of yours?

[Privately, Maul thinks he's going to be throwing the world's biggest temper tantrum if his behavior before has been any indication.]
