What does the world need less of?
me

Are you artistic?
I can mix a hallucinogenic cocktail so potent you’d call it art. It’d probably kill you if you couldn’t heal yourself fast enough, though. That’s why it’s fun.

Have you ever yelled at a telemarketer?
yeah. Guy shouldn’t have pressured me about getting an estimate on hardwood floors.

Weirdest pet you have ever had?
none.

Worst childhood memory?
ossus. I woke up to the sound of orbital bombardment and by the time I got out, I was already feeling people cut down around me in huge swaths. There were so many Sith. We’d always been trained with Bane’s Rule of Two, but Krayt’s order had so many it was just a sea of red death. I still can’t be around burning meat without breaking out into a cold sweat because of how much the Temple reeked of it. I remember thinking only two over and over again like that would have changed anything. Everyone, all of the padawans and younglings and even some of the knights were all looking at me like I was supposed to know what to do so I just started cutting my way toward the square, because I didn’t really know what to do but I couldn’t let everyone down. I’m a Skywalker, I’m supposed to be everyone’s hero and I had to be for everyone else even though it was the most terrified I’d ever been and I just wanted to hide behind someone else. I’d never killed a living being before. I don’t think I was ready but I guess I didn’t have much of a choice. We started off with a group but by the time I’d even made it down two hallways it was just me and Shado and a bunch of younglings. I saw Azlyn go down, I thought she was dead but it was so confusing, there were so many corpses and so much death that even I couldn’t tell who was dead and who wasn’t. By the time I got to the square I was climbing over piles of bodies with faces I recognized, people I loved just dead all around me. And then I ran. I didn’t want to, but my dad made me. He made me run with the younglings but I couldn’t just leave him, I couldn’t, none of it made sense anymore and I just couldn’t give up the one last thing that did. So I went back out there and I killed more Sith and Imperials and then he made me run again, made me run and take my dying Master and just as I got in, just as I thought maybe there was hope he died and I felt it, I felt it worse than anyone else because he was all I had left and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I broke and I couldn’t let my Master go so I went to his corpse in the shuttle and without even realizing it I went darker than I’ve ever been, even when I was killing, and I punched death in the fucking face and took my Master back. It made me sick inside and I wanted to just rip my skin off and let it all bleed out of me but I couldn’t, we still had to escape, but really I just wanted to kill the Sith-Imps first. I wanted to blow myself up with them. I should have, but at the last minute I chickened out and hit the eject button. Ended up with a front row seat of the Sith finishing off everyone on Ossus while I floated out in orbit, hidden by all the debris. Then I had to go back down to show the pirates that picked me up where all the artifacts were knowing I was graverobbing people I loved.

If I had to pick one moment, feeling my dad die in the Force and knowing if I’d been stronger I could’ve helped him. Or seeing his dead corpse there and knowing that all the stories were bullshit and that the Force was with the bad guys. I guess you could call it losing my faith.

Have you ever gone to private school?
The Temple on Coruscant.

Two weird facts about yourself?
I was addicted to death sticks before I was 12.
I haven’t felt safe anywhere since I was 11. Not even here.

Have you ever asked someone out on a date?
if you define a date as casual sex, yeah. If not, then not really.

Are you an ass?
I’m worse.

What kind of computer do you have?
Right now, iPad. Easier to type on with sliced up wrists still healing from muscle damage.

Do you have any animals?
Nope.

Have you done something bad today?
Today? No.

What physical feature do you get complimented on?
I don’t. most of the people I know are guys, and the girls I’m with are never about anything more than the wham, bam, hope you weren’t expecting me to be there when you woke up. Blue compliments me sometimes, but it makes me feel weird, so I try to ignore it.

What's the dumbest invention?
Krayt’s stupid face.

Have you ever been in an ambulance?
Not one of yours.

What type of drunk are you?
I dunno, let’s ask the people that were at my party. Oh, right. Homicidal.

Do you hold grudges?
One great, big, giant one, and about a million little ones.

Name 4 things you always have with you?
my dad’s lightsaber, cash, usually at least a couple pills, and the carbine my uncle Nate modified for me.

What did you do yesterday?
Hallucinated the ghosts of a planet all blaming me for their deaths. Spent another night reliving Ossus, this time without the extra blonde guy.

Do you like yourself?
If by like you mean hate, sure.

If you could punch one person, who would it be?
Darth Krayt. Darth Nihl. My dad for being too damn noble to run and me for being too damn fucked up to be noble. Sorry, it’s a long list.

What would you do if a leprechaun jumped out of the bushes and stole your wallet?
Shoot him and take my wallet back.

Favorites:

80's cartoon?
that super Mario bros cartoon you guys had. It was cute that somebody somewhere thinks the good guys actually win.

Drink?
if it has booze in it, it’s there.

Color?
Red.

Cookie?
this is a stupid question

Gum?
what the fuck does this matter?

First:

Prom date?
Proms weren’t really a thing. My first “date”, I guess, was Azlyn Rae. Years later I was too scared to let her go so I lied to my uncle about her not wanting to die from terrible lightning wounds so he’d put her in a robot suit. Knowing me worked out real well for her, huh?

Job?
Padawan. Or if you mean like a job-job, drug mule for Rav.

Love?
Azlyn Rae.

Car?
I don’t do cars. Was thinking about a bike, before. Something fast enough to tear me apart and leave a big red smear if I crashed it.

Sport you played?
I guess sparring, if you can count that.

You scare the hell out of me.

The only reason I didn't punch you out was because of Allana. So you're aware.

Him giving you permission is not a loophole in the no-punching-my-cousin rule. Just clarifying.

I said I wanted more open I guess.

I'm sorry Cade. I can't imagine loosing that many people at once. Not...y'know, people I cared about. I've felt it in the Force obviously.

I'm still going to help you

i couldn't stop it. i was just gonna say ossus, but then it all just sort of came out. didn't really have the energy to delete it.

i still have nightmares about it. all the time. that and dac and nar hutta.

i want to get better. i want to believe i can get better. last time i believed in something it didn't work out so hot, though.

Its been like that today. I said things to Jaina I shouldn't have.

Those probably won't go away. Unless you want to loose the memories entirely.

Yeah, Cade, last time I believed in something a civil war happened. We can work through it

i should care, but at this point i think i'm about empty on the caring front.

it wouldn't matter. it wouldn't be gone. it would just be hidden. and with those comics being out there, there isn't much point.

i believed in the will of the Force. I believed it was our ally, that it helped us. I believed in the teachings. And then the Sith came and slaughtered everyone and the Force was with them.

Don't worry about it. Jaina wants to save the galaxy starting with us when she gets back. I've tried to tell her she can't.

No, I could remove it. You forget who you're talking to.

See I always had issues with the teachings. The Force isn't an ally. Its a tool. Its there to be used. The question is does the wielder do it for good or evil. Its not the Force. Its the person.

nobody can save the galaxy. it's up and then it's down and then it's up and etc. etc. etc. until whenever it just dies.

you can't erase the comics, Jacen.

i was eleven. i believed it all. my mistake.

Maybe it is. But maybe we can make our little time in it peaceful. I tried that.

I suppose not even I can do that, no.

But do you see how I see things. Forget light and dark for a minute. Look at the evil in the galaxy and tell me those weren't just men and women making bad choices but with the power to back it up

Peace. Man, I can't even remember peace. The war started when I was still really young, and then Ossus... I don't really know what to do with myself in peace.

I appreciate the offer, but there's just not really a point.

I know, Jacen. I'm saying I agree with you, but I didn't until then. Until I saw that it was just a tool, no more or less moral than a blaster. It was the last thing I could cling to for hope and it was gone. Maybe that's why I am the way I am now, why I can't really believe in anything. Because I've seen what happens when you do.

I don't know half of what I probably should about you to make a logical judgment, and I gather that I missed a lot while I was gone, but you're the only person who seemed compassionate enough to help me figure things out when I got here. About... you know. So, you know, thanks for that, regardless.

you're welcome. i knew you'd probably see it with the Star Wars stuff eventually, and that isn't the way anyone should find out about that.

are you planning on staying in town long?

Yeah, I know to just avoid it now, but I probably would've stumbled upon it if you hadn't warned me.

I don't know. I'm feeling more and more disconnected with my actual life every day, so I just. I don't know. Maybe I need to just settle and find something to do here instead of just waiting to be sent back.

avoiding it is a good idea. although i have it on good authority there won't be too much more official material. and by that i mean i went down to Skywalker Ranch and threatened the guy with the beard until he decided it was a bad idea.

you should. i sort of thought we were getting to be friends. i kinda missed you when you left.

It's still really difficult being here from the era I am. Everyone's from the future, so no matter what, I have to know what comes next, you know?

Really? I like that. I don't exactly have a surplus of friendships.

2011-06-08 08:31 pm UTC (link)
I hadn't really thought about that. I can't imagine how messed up that would be. I don't want to know anything about my future. It's why I haven't read any of the new comics.

You've got at least one. For whatever a friendship with a recovering Sith is worth, I guess.

I'm going to fix things for you, too, when I go back. Somehow. I don't know how, yet, but I'll do something.

you won't be able to. someone always "saves" the galaxy, but it just gets bad again anyway. and then someone else "saves" it. it's a cycle that's never gonna end.

You'll have to. It wasn't just Krayt. He was an opportunist. A really, really patient one, but an opportunist nonetheless. Decades of even our allies fearing the Jedi gave the One Sith an in. It's why a single act of sabotage was able to turn everyone against us so quickly, and the civil war shattered the galaxy and gave Krayt the keys to the kingdom.

As long as you want to get better we'll all be there to help you. Probably even if there are times you don't want to get better. It's a stubborn family. The whole thing scared the hell out of me and I keep thinking if I'd just made a better barrier none of it had to happen at all, but I'm not giving up on you.

If Jaina doesn't remember and fix it first and I can remember this place when I get sent back, I promise I'll try to fix it too. I'm closest to your time I think. If Ben is your grandfather, he's ten years or so older than me so I'm probably alive when you're born unless I got assassinated first which is probably more likely. But before that I'll try.

i don't know how you all can be so sure about me when i'm not.

you're not gonna be assassinated. i don't think. records were sort of fuzzy. but i don't want it to have happened.

[info]sanguinesolo

Because you don't want this. After what happened to you it would be insane if you didn't have darkness in you, right? If you want to try to come out of that darkness why wouldn't we help you? Because you've done horrible things? I grew up in the time when they'd just killed the last Jedi to go dark and do horrible things. It didn't bring anyone back. Maybe there was no other way, and I don't blame them, but it didn't undo anything. So if there's another way I'll say we take that one every time. Plus you're my cousin and I really don't want you to be dead.

I don't want to be assassinated either. I didn't mean to say that. I just think that's what what will happen. I mean, they really, really hate me. Before I was ten there'd been over half a dozen assassination attempts, one of them by my grandmother, and someone had designed an entire nanovirus to kill me that ended up wiping out most of a ship's crew. I got out by living with my grandparents under an assumed name, but when I go back can you really see me ruling a people renowned for their political intrigues?

I did want this. Maybe not the way it happened, but I wanted everything to stop. Usually it was just me I wanted dead, not everybody else.

You could. Survival makes things seem a lot less horrible. You do what you have to do to survive a crappy situation.

I was raised to believe that if someone wants to be saved then they can be. Anakin said you agreed not to hurt yourself anymore and to work with him. And it was weird, the way it happened, I mean sith isn't usually just...snapping like that. It was like you changed in your sleep. I'm not trying to make excuses for you, I'm just saying that it seemed like something was going on beyond even what had been happening since Alema's mass deaths and the party.
