Love how this thread starts and flows. It feels like something staged like theater. Vorr's arrival, Tagus bidding him an audience. There's some excellent dialogue bits too:
-
"I was there when Emperor died, as well." Taalong Vorr spoke, a tone of stern defiance breaching his mask. "Another battlefield no different then a thousand before and after, it where nothing was gained... and once again I was left behind."
Vorr identified what may have been a twinge of madness in the face of Darth Tagus, a condition Taalong Vorr could not understand. His barbaric ways were not unhinged and uncontrolled that he lost sight of himself. Yet the Sith before him appeared to be doing just that in a way.
"For my purpose... I am yet undecided." Taalong Vorr stood his ground. "The Empire is capitulating, the Sith are now made prey, and I hear no more campaigns of reclamation." Vorr's assessment was not wrong. "What is the purpose is a Crusader without a Crusade?"
-
-great stuff from Vorr
-"Perhaps you would want to do battle on a planet that cares not for you, yours or anything else you bring and instead will aid your enemy in the fight?" he shrugged, "The Empire was a burden to the Sith. It was a weakness, a large body to which our enemies could plunge their dagger into from literally any direction and hit home, while we lack the dedicated manpower to protect such a bloated carcass."
Tagus grinned.
"The crusade remains as it always has, Vorr; to use the Dark Side to harm our enemies for every slight and every transgression." he reminded the Crusader, "The war is not done because the Empire is gone. Because this is not a war - this is genocide. Either we kill them or they kill us, those are the terms we have agreed upon and I would have NO OTHER TERMS!" -
-From Tagus
This feels like a Star Wars version of Shakespeare's Richard II, we don't quite have the "Empty Crown" monologue yet, but it almost asks for it!
When Tagus breaks down the rest of the way at some point, I'm sure we'll get a dark rendition of "...come let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the kings...".
Excellent rp work, but great writing most notably!
