@artfuldarthness​  //  attn: Stassam Char

The grand gothic spires of Stassam Char’s estate on Raxus Secondus were, blessedly, outside of New Republic space. Hux strode into the reception hall dressed proudly in his First Order uniform — after all, Char’s ostentatious home was clearly designed to show off their power, so it was only fair that Hux remind them of his. His smirk faltered when the protocol droid informed him that Char was in their sauna.   (Of course that shameless hedonist would have a kriffing sauna in their home. Ridiculous.)   Hux told the droid he would wait; it replied that Char was expecting him. His jaw stiffened. He was in no mood for whatever bizarre power game Char was playing. Hux marched into the steam-filled room in full uniform.

“Char. I’m pleased to see you’re—”  He averted his gaze the moment he sighted Stassam.   (Kriff! It’s hot in here.)   “You, ah, survived Hapes. Good. Well done.”

artfuldarthness asked: 📜 - from Mon

Cassian: Mon! My face is on fire! Mon: Cassian! Are you ok?! Cassian: Oh yes, I'm fine. I just said that to make sure you'd come in here quickly. Mon: But your face is on fire. Cassian: Yes. It's much faster than shaving.

They grab a damp towel at the words, patting at his face with such haste before letting the smile cross over their lips just then. Gaze settles upon the other. "I heard it from some person in passing at a bar." Cassian states, a bit of enthusiasm in their voice. "I had my doubts, but who knew, it actually did work!"

artfuldarthness asked: “You are strong, child. But I am beyond strength.“

There's a raise of an eyebrow hidden behind the mask helmet that hides his features. The other's words makes me want to utter a laugh. Beyond strength? Impossible. No one could match Kylo's power. It was raw, untamed and what made Snoke so terrified to harness it. To keep control over Kylo. It's why Luke lashed out against him. Why others sought him for dead. He was the new chosen one of his time because of that. And for someone so silly and dark to say they were beyond him? That was a joke. Far better than any of the one's he's heard ushered from Hux's lips. "Beyond strength, you say?" He starts, taking a calculated step toward the other. That eyebrow staying raised but there's a small smirk that dances hidden upon his lips. "No one is beyond the strength that I have in the Force and no one will ever best it either. Many dream of it, but none of succeeded. You are no different."

Third: I’m gonna need a human skull and I can't have you ask any questions why. Stassam: Only if you also don't ask why Stassam: *Pulls out 7 pristine human skulls* Take your pick. Third: Stassam: Third: This one is fine

Hux: You fuckers don’t know about my knife stick. It’s a knife taped to a stick and it’s the ultimate weapon. Stassam, not looking up from their book: Spear. Hux: BLOCKED.

It was fortunate, Third Sister supposed, that the curious art collector they had met on Hapes had such a public profile. A chance encounter with Stassam Char at an art gallery opening was all too easy to arrange. Donning the demeanor of an Aristocra heiress at a black tie affair, while far from her preference, was equally simple. The Sith gauntlet hidden beneath her elegant shawl was drawn to Stassam as they were a beacon.

“Mx. Char, what a delight to find you in a more civilized setting.”  He approached them as her brother would: polite, understated, a wry edge to his smile.  “I had hoped for an opportunity to discuss our mutual interest in certain archaeological artifacts.”

@artfuldarthness​ asked : pansy :   does your muse often reflect on their own actions ? do they ever think a lot about the past ,   and what they could have done differently ?

lando doesn’t think a lot about it by any means, he’s much more present and future oriented. his biggest regret that he does think about is what happened on bespin with the empire, but he still stands by that decision –– doing what he perceived was best for the people for cloud city. more generally though, he doesn’t linger on past actions beyond the immediate aftermath. he doesn’t live with a lot of regrets or ‘what if’ thoughts.

@artfuldarthness asked: violet :   how does your muse respond to betrayal ?

violence. revenge. iden might be fighting for the right side of the war now, but make no mistake –– she hasn’t softened up or gone gentle in her change of allegiance. she’ll right wrongs in the way that she sees to be appropriate, which usually has something to do with making things even. she doesn’t forgive, and she certainly doesn’t forget.
