December Catch-All
Who: Darth Nox and anyone unfortunate enough / determined enough to encounter a Sith Lord.
What: What it says on the tin. Catch-all for December, particularly the event.
When: Throughout the month.
Where: Various locations throughout Trench.
Content Warnings: Body possession, Violence, Murder, Mass Murder, human experimentation (both discussion & execution), lingering trauma.
Additional prompts and/or content warnings will be added as necessary.
[For the Winter Mourning memories of Ziost, they will be broken into smaller prompts in the event you don't want to subject your character to the entire thing. Each prompt will be numbered in the format X-Y -> Z, with each letter corresponding to a numbered part of the linked playlist.
X being the start of the memory, Y being the current stage of the memory, and Z being where the memory will eventually lead.
Of course, if you want your character to experience the whole thing there's nothing stopping you from just using all the prompts, but at least this way it should offer people an offramp or two before it reaches the worst parts. There's a reason he remembers the entire ordeal, after all.]

[ and dismissing it that way is callous. it could have been a village, it could have been a planet. the egregious, wasteful loss of life is terrible. and it's never a numbers game. ]
And I think to some degree, you know that.

[And frankly, even if this were a Republic world his response would have been the same. A battlefield was one thing, for one reason or another everyone there had made the decision to take up arms. The wholesale slaughter of civilians wasn't something that sat right with him, especially given the Empire's many thoughts on the supposed benefits were unsupported by any real observable results.]
My only intent was to give you time to prepare. Time you will either use wisely, or squander by continuing whatever it is you think you're accomplishing here. Whatever your choice, I will not be shielding you when the time comes.
So choose carefully.

And what is it you're preparing me for?
no subject
All life on this world will be extinguished and its essence consumed in order to both restore and dramatically increase the Emperor's already considerable power. The Force will all but disappear from this world and all that will remain of this world will be rubble and ruin.
[And a few surviving Sithspawn, but Nox had a feeling Kenobi would be happier remaining ignorant of just what sort of unnatural monstrosities the Emperor could just will into existence.]
And you will feel every last agonizing moment of it. Millions will die as all their final moments of terror, all their regrets, and their final moments of collective terror will echo through the Force as a unified, deafening scream. Because I will fail, and that is the cost of my failure. If we cannot find a way to unlink our minds before that moment comes, that is what you must prepare for.
