Cameron, Marcao is a valued member of this forum. Do not rip out his neurons.

You can do whatever you want to his character, though.

Cool feature of running a party of Jedi/Sith/Whatever.

Instead of having to come up with some sort of cliched "You're all in a bar" intro scene to get a party together, you just scatter them over a city and watch them go all Highlander on each other.

E: "It's a nice little town, but we've been having a lot of lightsaber fights recently."

I'm sorry, Havoc, I like your character and all, but there can be only one.

CT, just because your character is telepathic doesn't mean it works on another Force user. The first time you did this, to have Aserak magically know Corvin's name, I let it go. However, you're treating it as a free method of getting out of character information.

Telepathy may work in the way you're assuming it does on the weak-willed non-Force users, but it won't for the strong-willed, and especially not for Force-users. Aserak would get to hear what Corvin sends him specifically, but it verges on metagaming to have Aserak know more than that.

No. You will notice I mentioned this earlier. I dumpster dove in Hati's mind for the name, because you did not practice proper operational security. As for the rest, I was responding to what you said in telepathic conversation, which was pure bedlam. You dont engage in casual dismissal of a Sith. You do not encourage a Sith to underestimate you if you want to avoid a fight, or talk to them as something resembling an equal. Doing so is a good way to get yourself attacked or treated with contempt and dismissed/attacked, depending on disposition. You did this without consulting Aserak (when we wrote the original post, I went with what you said without challenging it in character or out, precisely because you did not consult him and he is not rummaging in your actual thoughts), and then doubled down loooooong after CynCat indicated that it was a stupid fucking idea.

Doing these things... or rationalizing your foolish actions by claiming you are attempting to do these things which are not any better, is foolish and insane, and it will make Aserak think you are insane.

Fair, I can give you that one.

Then it would appear that Aserak and Corvin do not see eye to eye.

Okay, I'm going to be spotty until Monday what with the premiere tomorrow (with a client right before the show and one right after) so if y'all get into some choppy choppy I'll let Tev oversee the action since she's not actually liable to get mixed in with the lightsaber crowd at this exact moment.

I should be on at least once a day, though.

Force users!

You will start feeling a vague sense of desire, a raw, primal hunger that you cannot explain nor understand what, exactly, you're hungry for.

Well stricty OOC it's because this is an ancestral Jedi/Sith Harmony Bakery that makes the best cinnamon rolls in the entire sector. I'm trying a new 'Be nice to your players' style of GMing, so don't worry about a thing.

Riiiiiiiiiight. And I'm a Force user.

Oh, Wait, I'm NOT. I'm not at all bothered by this sudden rush of HUNGER, whether it's for slaughter, lust, food, or whatever.
Althought I think a sudden rush of Lustful Hunger would be amusing for the two ForceUsers upstairs in the bedroom. :zaia:

I've been lax about posting, since I was having trouble squaring what happened with what Corvin would have known. The fault is mostly mine for writing him as such, which is giving me some fits deciding how I want to play him from here.

I'll make a post soon.
