Who: You! Me! Everybody!
Broadcast: idk but we've sure got a pretty broad cast of folks eh, eh
Action: HECK YEAH PLANET MINGLE
When: 10/7 until plot update or recaptcha

It's a deep, deep forest filled to the brim with fungi, mysterious life forms, and pitch black darkness. Explore if you dare and discover all these things and more! Just don't get lost...

Don't be ridiculous, using power cells in a weapon larger than a blaster isn't practical if you want to make something really blow up.

[This is what he thinks about in his free time, alright.]

[So very dryly:] How silly of me.

[This lack of finesse is just sad.] Is that truly what you consider to be power?

Weapons are only one part of it. Of course you know how to use them effectively. But I consider the advancement of other technology to be important as well.

And no, I prefer not to depend on magic, the Force, whatever you call it.

[He prefers to be effective more than anything.]
complicatedliar: (wicked thoughts)

Power, Hux, is causing you to believe the stairs start three feet further out than they really do. It is taking an absolute victory without a single shot being fired.

Your technology is a tool that you use as a toy.

If it's effective, there is nothing wrong with using technology. And you can do a lot with a single shot, if you know where you're aiming.

There is nothing wrong with a tool, of itself. The indelicate use you put it to is merely... self-defeating.

I honestly don't care about how delicate it is. Starkiller did what it was supposed to do very well and yes, it was brute force but sometimes that is what is necessary.

If your ultimate end was some sort of splashy, half baked revenge, yes. Though one might hope you'd thought beyond that.

I hope I have as well. But being here, that seems a bit moot at this time, doesn't it?

Either way, there is no reason to build another Death Star here anyway.

That would depend upon what use you would make of your time.

No, there is no fun to being the king of a fish bowl.

There really isn't much satisfaction in destroying random planets of little significance for no reason.

[As much as he had enjoyed watching the Hosnian system be destroyed, he was realistic that it was necessary to be practical when using a superweapon.]

Despite the bugs. [He said as he swatted away some flying bug which had ventured too close.]
