>>4212437
yay, we are back.

Then when that is done...Not sure if we should put off nox or not

>>4212822
Last thread, I thought it was decided that Pierce should be tested first.

Anyone want to weigh in before I roll for it?

>>4212855
Oh yeah. So it was.

Sorry, my brain is mush, he was meant to be tested with prospective mates in that typical way of beating the shit out of eachother.

It wouldn't hurt to hear how your father was like when he was around your age roaming the dunes of Korriban. Might even lead to some insight as to who he really is now. He'll probably never hear about you questioning others about his character, so you won't have to fear reprisal. Your father's not the type to care about that or anything, if your impressions of himself are anything to truly go by.

"What was my father like during his time here?"

"He was quiet, composed, and respectful to everyone, including the diluted filth that was his pathetic excuse for a rival at the time."

You raise an eyebrow. "Vemrin?"

"I recommend forgetting the name of such trash as I did. Shame your father is forced to remember him solely because he was his first obstacle to overcome on his path to greatness."

"...Right. Well, I'll be leaving now."

Tremel nods as you steer your mighty bitch away from him.

You get off her, start walking to your destination, and take off your clothes before plopping yourself on your mistress' bed.

Blinking, you raise your head from your lover's pillows to see her gazing into your eyes from her chamber room's entranceway. "Oh, come on."

"On to you?" The Dark Council member tilts her head. "How forward."

"You know what I— Nevermind, I just want to rest" Plopping your head back on the bed, you sigh.

A coo soothes the stress on your mind. "There'll be plenty of time for that after."

You roll your eyes at the ruffling from Nox stripping herself of clothing.

Should've known what you were in for the moment you came inside her.

>>4213152
I'm not overly familiar with all the politics of this time period, but I think something that is bound to happen is for Dad to order us to kill her or something similar.

I am a pessimist, first and foremost.
Second, the QM has told us that it will come back to haunt us at some point as most things do.
Thirdly, sith tend to advance by murdering their superiors and claiming their seat. Anybody who murders us now is already going to become the apprentice of the emperors wrath, the third most powerful man in the empire after the voice or maybe vice versa, while also being the concubine of the leader of a sphere of influence.
to put it into perspective, a dark council member rules over one of the FACETS of imperial society, with almost unrivaled authority in that area of expertise.

Sounds like a good challenge to face.

>>4213190
While true, there is also the point of "Amount of people who want to kill us has expanded" which is undeniale.

What is up in the air is if our family/father is now included in that group. If it is.....whoo. We are in some trouble. If not, then we are probably fine barring that one dark council member who we humiliated indirectly.

>>4213197
If we do come into conflict with the Faxeras family, who are the people we need to keep a lookout for? C'ept for Dad of course.

I wouldn't call that indirect.

>>4213203
Not our fault she picked an idiot for an apprentice.

Anyway, mother is a fuckoff danger psycho whoo hoo stay out of reach! alert.
Our siblings are wild cards but since we are the big brother, we can win.

Vette is an assassin and a thief but a softy so not much of a worry from her.....I think Pierce and Quinn are the big dangers left, since Pierce is a proper soldier and Quinn is ruthlessly willing to do anything, even betraying the wrath in the making. A man with that level of dedication is a foe to be wary of.

To hell with it, you're going to be literally fucked whatever you do or say. Resisting Nox with how close you've grown to her is nothing but a vain task. Better to submit yourself to her lusts and get some training in while you can. Worst the woman could do is make you into her obedient insane pet, which is actually pretty horrible but not as bad as a mind wipe.

"Alright, just teach me even more Mind Manipulation while you do it since you're so fond of violating mine's sanctity alongside my body's."

"I'd call that a valid compromise if it wasn't a win-win proposal." The powerful woman slithers across the bed and over your body.

You yawn. "Just do it, by which I mean me, already."

With a tap to your forehead, Nox sends you into a deep sleep.

Eternity, eternity, and eternity pass through your slumbering mind before your will rises from nothingness to restore some semblance of time.

>Expert Mind Manipulation Experience Gained: 4/10 -> 5/10

The warping of your internal clock is replaced with a stream of your memories.

Your attempts to resist are far less effective than the last time she pulled this trick, no doubt leading to many mischievous tampering.

Again, the stream of memories is replaced by a bedlam cacophony of others' ravings, impulses, and traumas.

It's all overwhelming at first, but you push, isolate, and destroy every single one that you know isn't from your own mind, subsuming it back in its primordial slumber of darkness.

>Expert Mind Manipulation Experience Gained: 5/10 -> 6/10

You open your eyes to the growing familiar sight of Nox's chamber room's ceiling. "...Why can't I feel my everything?"

The mewling coo of a thoroughly pleased slumbering woman answers your question.

A sigh escapes your lips.

While not bad by any means, this isn't exactly a perfect arrangement.

Well, you did just have a night filled with literal crazy sex while you were unconscious. Best to soak it in as it is one of the few benefits to this apprentice/slave-master/mistress relationship. There is a lot ahead of you with all the business you left behind to get the Mighty Queen.

You do your best to nuzzle your pillow to get into a relaxed mood only to stir the resting woman.

"...Greedy boy, wanting more of me."

Rolling your eyes over to Nox, you scoff. "You're the one who's been riding me since... however long it's been since you put me asleep."

"I stopped a couple hours ago." She kisses your cheek. "You were begging me to, your subconscious anyway."

"Women are supposed to be hard to please, but it shouldn't take hours for you to get off."

Cackling, the Darth slaps her hand against your side. "That's why it happened multiple times and why your subconsciousness was begging me."

"And here I thought I was going to live a long life with my vitality in tact."

"Pretty sure men would rather die a man at a young age over dying a virgin at the rotting age of a century."

"Those men are fools." You scoff.

Nox raises herself over you, obscuring your view of the ceiling. "...Are you saying you regret ever having sex with me?"

"No, no, no, no..." You tilt your Head. "Well, when I actually take the time to think about i—"

The deafening slap of your mistress' hand against your face stops you from finishing your sentence. "I would break your mind and make your insane husk worship my divine body if I didn't like you sane." She rubs the reddening skin of your handsome face. "You would be so cute as a mad boy, though."

Another sigh escapes your lips.

This is your life now.

Didn't feel like sidetracking to me.
She always responds to our stray thoughts.

>>4215311
Why do you think it's such a bad idea?

>>4215315
Don't mention our father, for the love of our skin. Also, she started putting stray thoughts in our head. "Handsome face".

But back to the point, she is an insane creature given over to the whims of the darkside which change with the winds. But one thing she is very clear about is that she hates our father due to him snubbing her and her affections turned into acid. That is, in fact, a large reason for why she decided to "ensnare" us as a way to metaphorically get back at father dearest.

>>4215329
I'm not sure talking about Dad with her will be worse than letting her fuck with our head at every opportunity.
It would also give Magnus something to compare himself to.

>>4215341
We have asked about him before and each time she has become very upset.

Maybe later we should rumage through our head and see if we can find any tamperings.

>>4215386
I don't remember her getting that upset last time we talked about him, we even told her to give up on him but she had pretty much the same attitude.

>>4215421
pretty sure she was mad. As established, my memory is a shit one.

>>4215438
I mean she gave us a history lesson and didn't mind telling us to ask our Dad to clarify things.
Then we told her to stop pursuing him.
She just laughed at it and continued acting her normal self.
I don't think it will end up being a monumental mistake.

You would pity yet cherish the insane child between you and your dark mistress. He would definitely be the type to do all the rekless Sith things you look down on other Sith for doing. Then again, he may surprise you by becoming like your father. Poor likely literal bastard would never be the type for traditional family-esque activities with that twisted nature.

"By the force, that will probably be our son if this keeps going."

"Wouldn't he just be adorable!"

"No, no he would... Actually, I can imagine him being very cute in a horrifyingly innocent kind of way despite the madness."

"That's why he would be adorable in the first place!"

You groan.

Not even a month together, and you're already discussing how rightfully cute your mad spawn would be.

Speaking of babies.

"I take it you heard about the tuk'ata infestation." You turn to your mistress. "Any of the puppies caught your eye?"

"Puppy, I brought you here right after you handled that business, and you're my only pet, Caeles' big boy."

You blink.

There is only one way to kill her obnoxious master attitude.

"Just what was my father like back in your academy days?"

Mrs. Maybe-Future Faxerus sighs. "The same pompous ass, but less cynical."

"Less cynical?"

"He had this vibrant air about him back then; it's gone now."

You hum.

That could mean a great many things, but a lot of people are happier or idealistic when they're young compared to their adulthood.

"Why don't we have a picnic?"

"Oh yes, let's have a picnic on this desert planet with haunted ruins." Nox giggles as she pets your head. "You're such a silly boy."

You roll your eyes and avert your gaze. "You know I just came from an oasis, right?"

"A dusty, crusty oasis, yes."

Thoughts of fighting with your mistress on the subject cross your mind for a millisecond before dying in vain to your own logic.

Sand would ruin the entire thing anyway.

How much better at Sith Alchemy do we need to be to transmute an area into a beach?

Getting late where I'm at. Will close voting and update tomorrow morning my time if I wake up on time UTC-8

thots, questions?

>>4215946
Would just using our Sith Alchemy help improve our current proficient with it? Say for example using our Sith Alchemy to make giant creepy obsidian monoliths or turning the oasis into a pimping luxury pool with a pump with an artificial waterfall?

>>4215914
an oasis is a beach

not that much but the point of doing it is lost on me
>>4215973
Not really. Sith Alchemy improvement is more academic rather than a hands-on kind of thing, which it still is.

War changes a lot of people, if war stories and shell shock are to be believed. Constant stress the likes of which war brings either breaks people or remakes them to better cope with it. Pierce was probably the same anti-social animal before it, but Malavai could've somehow been an even more timid man. Maybe you'll go mad with the way things are already going in your life.

"My father has seen a lot since then. The war probably changed him."

Nox scoffs. "What a cliche."

"It's war." You look down at your mistress. "It's the closest thing to a hell in the galaxy."

"No, that would be Tatooine."

"Is it really that bad compared to Korriban?"

"A dozen times worse."

You look back up to the chamber ceiling. "...Why do I get the feeling I'll have to go there some day and hate it?"

"Because you probably will."

A sigh escapes your lips.

You already despise sand, but you're going to loathe the existence of the millions of coarse grains if you have to spend more one entire day walking and sleeping on Force forsaken crushed rocks.

"Let's continue training, please."

Nox moans. "Just lay in bed with me, I'll train you right."

"...That's neither the training I want or need."

"I'd say you desperately need some sex training: your still performance last night can't be blamed on you, but our first coupling was filled with many rookie mistakes."

"Haven't you had enough for one day?"

A boisterous laugh thrums from your mistress' chest. "...No."

Groaning, you look away from the Darth again.

You sold your dignity and virtue for power yet you still have positive expectations.

The sex, in your experience, was exhilarating beyond your expectations. Of course, you didn't expect much, but it was still pretty nice. You can still feel the afterglow of last night's constant rutting as well, which is just amazing. A part of you wishes you were conscious for the entire experience, but your intelligent side knows you would've been broken into an obedient sex pet if you were.

"You were my first, okay. Don't I get any slack?"

Mocking laughter fills the air. "And you're my..."

Blinking, you raise a hand to cover your face.

A fucking whore took you—

One fierce slap stops you from finishing your thought.

"How. Dare. You."

Yet another sigh escapes your lips as you look down at a demon-eyed Nox. "What did you expect me to think?"

"I am your Goddess and divine mistress, you pathetic mortal whelp."

A whine murmurs in your throat as you hold your head in your hands.

You've been a bad boy.

Tears stream down your cheeks.

In just a few seconds, you went form her beloved pet to her disloyal, arrogant mutt. She gave you salvation, and you covered yourself in shit, you who already carried your forsaken father's blood and his father's before him. Now you're a filthy, filthy, filthy worm wiggling in sin. There is no heaven, no pleasure for you now or ever again in this existence.

Filthy, filthy, filthy, you are filthy.

Whimpering, you weep into your hands.

A soft caress from overtly familiar hands soothes the agony of your filth from your filthy, filthy existence.

"There, there. You are still mine, however filthy."

Your sadness turns to joy as you embrace your salvation. "Please, never abandon me again!"

"Will you be a good boy?"

Nodding furiously, you hold your mistress closer.

She is more than you deserve.

No, you deserve far more than this kind of treatment. You wouldn't be this twisted and manipulative with her despite everything she's done to your dignity. She can try and break your will all she wants, but you will beat her nefarious intentions back. One day, she will see you as an equal and as your woman.

>Expert Mind Manipulation Experience Gained: 5/10 -> 8/10

The woman in your hands stiffens. "...Huh, I did not expect you to be able to break out of that so quickly."

"Really?" You look down into Nox's normal orange eyes. "I mean, I didn't either, but you have seen how much I'm progressing."

"I was entirely self-taught. If I was in your position, I would've mastered the art of tampering minds by now."

"That... reminds me of what my father said about being Barris' apprentice: all the man did was send him after his enemies and loose-ends."

"Hands-on experience is the best experience, wouldn't you say?" Giggling, the Darth shocks you.

A sigh escapes your lips as you pull her closer to your body. "Yeah, makes me wonder why you knocked me unconscious last night over keeping me awake."

"If you were conscious for the entire thing, I would've driven you insane and into a deeper state of worship than the one I just put you in."

Shuddering, you nuzzle against your lover's silky soft face. "That would've been somehow even more horrifying."

The Dark Council member cackles, cuddling you back.

A dog-like whine groans in your throat.

Your first relationship is so fucked up but somehow incredibly nice at the same time.

You've spent more than enough time being tormented by your lovely mistress for one day. It's been almost a week since you've been gone, and you need to catch up with all your apprentices. There's also the matter of deciding who gets to ride the big powerful bitch to create big powerful tuk'ata pups for you. In the end, you're going to be thee one who wins whichever one is left standing.

"Do you mind if I use Khem later to try shaking out a few pieces of lore from his master's tomb?"

The woman shrugs. "It's your funeral if he feels you're dishonoring his lord."

"That's not my intention at all: Tulak Hord is one of the Dark Lord's I respect the most."

"Since when?"

You kiss the side of Nox's face. "Ever since my father told me tales of how he slaughtered Jedi singlehandedly with Juyo."

"How unlike you to be such a Sith."

Rolling your eyes, you slip out from beneath your lover and land on your feet.

"What are you doing?"

"Excuse me, I have apprentices to thrash and torture-train myself." You blink. "Also, I need to go and setup a tuk'ata fight club. Take care."

Gathering up your clothes and redressing yourself, you look back at your mistress waving farewell.

There could be time to squeeze in one more training session.

"...Can you shock me before I leave, please?"

You twitch as another zap runs through your nerves. "Not the kind I was referring to."

"We'll have plenty of time for training after you finish your business." Nox giggles.

Rolling your eyes and smiling, you walk out your lover's chambers and make your way to the nearest of your trainees, Naziha.

The girl, spying on other training Sith and petting a tuk'ata pup, perks her ears up as you near. "Who i—"

You wave as the kitty cat pauses, drawing whines from the alchemical beast.

It seems she's found a pet already.

Quite a few things you can talk with this cute kitty cat about. You didn't expect your journey to take so long or bear so much fruit but it did. There's going to be a lot for you to talk about with the others and everyone else you meet during your time here. Hell, it's definitely going to spread beyond just this planet and hang over you for the rest of your life.

"So, who tried to kill you in your medical sleep?"

"...Three or four, I think?" Naziha raises her petting hand to her chin, making the beast whimper louder. "There was about thirteen if you count all the ones that went for us. Pierce accidentally killed four, but we got to kill the rest after we woke up. Some of them weren't even from our own pod of acolytes."

"Yeah, people get bloodthirsty here."

The sentient feline sighs. "Arezoo cried and comforted every single one of them before they were killed, even the ones she killed herself."

A groan churns from your throat.

She really is going to be one of those odd Sith looked down on even by the most reasonable of them, if you don't kill her that is.

Mr. Kitty Lover bites and tugs at the sleeve of the girl's hand.

"Aww, the walking pet has a pet."

"He's not my pet!" Karimi pets the beast, changing its whines into an odd cooing purr. "He just likes the way my fur feels on him is all."

You snicker. "I hope the kitty hasn't been slacking off her training. How else are you going to win your endless dogged rivalry with a Sith's best friend?"

The cat woman tilts her head.

Blinking, you join her in craning your brain holder.

Vette would be so disappointed in you for making a not-bitch enough shittalk like that.

While you can feel the big bitch's presence in the Force, you'd very much like to know what your kitty cat thinks of the powerful Sith beast. It's killing you to see the look on everyone's faces at the mention of her giant form. That magnificent beast is now your pet and will be the mother of your personal pack of powerful tuk'ata. Pups the size of Pierce would be adorable to raise.

"You wouldn't have happened to have seen a giant tuk'ata around, would you?"

The bipedal feline shivers much like a cat. "Words been going around about it and that she belongs to you. Are the rumors true?"

Grinning, you nod.

"Bloody fucking hell, how did that happen?!" She picks up the pup in her arms, making the beastie coo/purr again.

"I asked her nicely."

"Oh come on, tell me!"

You snidely look away from your apprentice. "Alas, my would-be acolyte, you are not ready to hear of the higher arts in action."

"How would knowing what you did harm you if I wouldn't obviously be unable to replicate it?"

"Oh, it wouldn't." Turning back, you laugh. "I just want to play with you, kitty cat."

"This kind of play isn't fun."

"For you, that is?"

Rolling her slitted eyes, the Cathar plops herself on to the floor, electing a small 'umph' from her squeaking pet.

You chuckle again at your apprentice.

Alongside Yang, she's one of your two favorites.

Conduct our own research in Sith alchemy and it's practices. Get some data pads, sith crystals, books- I don't know get some reading materials and see if we can make alloys or complex chemical compounds out of sand. Sand to glass, minerals, dirt, rocks, metal. If that's too easy then try making a primitive droid.

>>4220983

I don't personally think that such research is going to be all that helpful. if we were to practice alchemy, which we should do at a later date after everything else, we should try to work on converting shit into gases then back to solids/liquids

It's important you know if you're going to see this wonderful sight often from now on. You can endlessly tease her about it too if she does go through with it. Better yet, you can tease her in front of everyone else and draw forth many different emotions. Emotional training like that would he progress while being incredibly amusing to you and everyone else.

"Are you going to keep the little bastard?" You crouch to look face-to-face with the pup.

The mutt child coos/purrs.

Lifting her upper body, Naziha shakes her head. "No, he just started following me around; I didn't decide anything."

"Yet you're hold him in your arms..."

"That's because he whines and bites because I don't give him attention, and I don't have it in me to kill such an ugly baby."

"So you're content to just let him follow you around until you leave Korriban or die here?"

"I don't really care to be honest." She looks down at the needy cub. "He will probably eat my corpse if I die here now that I think about it."

The little tuk'ata's throat thrums with joy.

Naziha scoffs and rolls her eyes. "Twisted runt."

Chuckling, you shake your head at the sigh. "Hold on, let's gather the others." You close your eyes to feel out their presences through the Force.

"If you're going to thoroughly beat us again, I assure you we're ready this time."

A heavier laugh thrums from your chest. "No, no you're not." You open your eyes. "Go get Yang from the med bay and bring him here, I'll stop Arezoo from trying to make a dangerous social life in the academy."

Needing no further orders, your apprentice rises and departs as you do the same.

It doesn't take either of you long to bring back your respective crew members .

The pink woman is somewhat annoyed, but the sickly boy is happy to see you again.

No acknowledging our sex life and the pups are good training in mental exercises.

>>4222668
By that, I mean train the mind crap that Nox is so fond of training on us, using them, then their dogs as props/targets .

A little bit of takashi and showing the class force concealment should set us alright for a 3 hour sparring match. Then we can set peirce up with his trial and finally go tomb delving.

>>4222668
Yeeeaaaah I was gonna say something about not flaunting around we're fucking a Dark Council member. It's not really something like a badge or title you're supposed to show off to everyone. Everyone practically already knows. No need to make it any more awkward.

>>4222668
>>4222688
Way I see it, the faster this band-aid is ripped off the better.
The ramifications are only going to increase with time, and they should know how it could effect them.

>>4222688
Especially since we are, to not put too fine a point on it, the bitch.

And using someone else's name or authority when we dont reaaally need to is a show of weakness and insecurity, as though it is our sole point of power that we were born the right way rather than having our own physical power.

>>4222692
They probably already know, the rumours have circulated already. We gain nothing and confirm a rumour by doing that.

>>4222697
These guys don't know much about Sith culture, and what it could mean for them.
Explaining it to them is educational.

>>4222710
Fuck them. They survive or they die, do you get the luxury of knowing that people may try to assassinate you?

If it means that much to you, then explain that due to us being the son of a powerful man, people want to kill us. They also like to kill people who associate with us. Use it to justify the 14 who attacked them.
There, same message without compromising our tattered and abused integrity.

>>4222719
>compromising our integrity
...It's not like we're going around lying to everyone we meet, or going against any of our deep-seated beliefs.
Telling people the facts isn't a sign of weakness or insecurity. Admitting you're in a position that's desirable and being actively fought over even outside of this academy is just being honest, not hiding behind a name or title.

Another minor thing, is the updated pastebin. That would be useful for planning lessons

>>4222735
If they bring it up, I dont see the point in lying. But likewise I don't see the point in bringing up the fact we are a concubine when the given message you want to tell could be done without this fact.

And again, confirming a rumour. A rumour which could be bad for us if they go on around saying we confirmed it. While there is doubt people can choose to dismiss it, when there isnt doubt it becomes useful intelligence they can use.
Is this paranoid? Yes. Is paranoia a bad thing around sith? Absolutely not.

>>4222751

god i love how much discussion this quest gets

>>4222777
There is a difference between proven truth and accusations that they cant prove.

And when it does get out, we will either be in a much better situation to deal with it or in a position where we are not confined to a single planet or in such a position where it wont be able to be used against us.

This is none of these situations.

These creatures are far too precious and useful to not have in your possession. It's only right your apprentices each get one since you have the biggest bitch of them under your will. You're sure they'll thank you in the future when they're petting their beloved good girls and boys. Also, you want more info on what happened with their would-be assassins.

"I want the two of you to find a tuk'ata like the one our Cathar friend here has: they're pretty great beasts to have as pets and companions."

Arezoo shivers. "They're so primal and savage yet so... aware."

Cooing and purring, Kirimi's unconsential pet turns to the red alien.

"See! Did you just see that!? I was talking about it and it looked at me!"

"Probably because you were the only one talking. Animals can notice things, you know?" Yang sighs, annoyed at the other female acolyte's antics.

"Well, yeah but still... they're like baby sentients or children."

"So are regular dogs and cats." The cat of the group says, petting her not-pet. "It's not like they can really understand us or themselves."

You chuckle. "Naziha told me you guys killed the people who tried to kill you. How did that go?"

Arezoo looks down as Yang shrugs.

"I just hit them over the head with my practice saber until they stopped or could only twitch." The Hutta bog rat yawns. "I tried dueling one just to make it into something, but the fight was all over after I broke his wrist with my first hit."

Changing your gaze to the degenerate, you hum questioningly.

"...They died quickly but slow enough to understand after I stabbed them in the hearts with a scalpel."

You blink. "Couldn't find a knife?"

"It was the nearest thing I could grab to end them before so they wouldn't suffer any longer: Pierce really did a number on them."

The other two hum and nod in affirmation.

Another hum murmurs in your throat.

He is an animal, but he did follow your orders.

You understand why they're just standing and waiting for you to lead them like the sheep they still are, but it'd be good if they showed some initiative. Not like you're going to be around forever or when they need you. Self-sufficiency is a virtue and necessity for a Sith and any real successful person in this galaxy.

"Well, what are you waiting for? It's time to tame a tuk'ata."

"How exactly are we supposed to do that?" Yang asks before turning to Karimi. "How did you?"

"Don't look at me, this little guy just got one accidental pet and he's been on me ever since."

Arezoo lifts her eyebrows and wiggles them. "Accidental?"

"Yeah, accidental. It just happened. I don't like this bastard anymore than you do."

The tuk'ata pup in question does its usual demented purr as his not-owner scratches the top of his head.

"Riiight."

"Oh go cry over your attempted murderers."

"As soon as you let go of that evil little brat."

Yang chuckles. "Ladies, you've both got claws, some literal; we've got other things to do and Magnus is enjoying this far more than I am."

The sides of your lips twitch as you struggle to restrain your laughter and smile.

Something about almost literal cat fights just brings you joy.

"If you must know, you first have to establish dominance. From there, you have to establish a rapport about something you both can relate to. There's a good chance you'll be mauled to death if you can't accomplish either."

"Basically every Sith trial or anything related to being a Sith?" Arezoo sighs.

You nod.

It's a tough and brutal occupation, but that's just the way it is.

The two trainees examine the tuk'ata roaming the training grounds before going their own ways, leaving you with a kitten and her alchemical dog.

Either they'll make you proud or die.

Mr. Little Bastard may or may not be sentient like the others of his kind yet. For all you know about tuk'ata, this 'baby' could really be an extreme version of their runts that gained sentience but never grew up. Either that or he's an old runt that likes being pampered by other people. Really, you should take the time to look into them more.

"Try reaching out to the puppy with your mind." You turn to the eyebrow raising feline sentient. "I'm not sure tuk'ata his age can communicate telepathically yet, but it's worth a try."

"Wait, they can what?!"

"Communicate telepathically. It's not that special of a force ability: most force users subconsciously do so at first. Could be the same for that brat, if he even is one."

Naziha looks down at her still happy pet. "Are you telling me this thing is an old beast in a child-like body?"

"It could be."

"How?! How is that possible, and how can they communicate telepathically?"

"The Force, obviously." You roll your eyes. "They were created with Sith Alchemy and have populated this planet strong in the dark side while we gathered strength in the outer reaches of space." Raising a hand to stroke your chin, you hum. "In that time, they could've gone through any number of mutations; hell, there could be entire subspecies of them on this planet now. I'm surprised most of our records of the beasts are so alike."

Karimi sighs as she looks back up to you. "I swear, this is all going to drive me mad."

"Yeah, it probably will; you wouldn't be the only one."

"If the Force doesn't, maybe the others will."

You raise an eyebrow. "What do you think about them?"

"Well, Yang is alright: he's still sweet despite everything but..."

>(2/2)

"But?"

"It's like he's never talked to another person in his entire life. When he looks at other acolytes or any of the staff, it's like he's looking through them, as if they were a walking bag of meat. I've seen that kind of look on refugees back on Taris, but they weren't nearly as bad."

A hum murmurs in your throat.

You haven't been paying attention to that, but you might have to now.

Grinning, you tilt your head at the feline. "And Arezoo?"

A groan hisses in Karimi's throat as she pets her cooing pet out of reflex to cerainly not get comfort. "She is the complete opposite, and I hate it. The bitch tried to kiss me after I complimented her on the pink skin!"

"Wow! That would've just been...kinda nice?"

Naziha furrows her brow.

"...She actually got me out of sheer surprise."

Holding Little Bastard, the cheeky cat bursts into laughter.

"It was the second most degrading moment of my life." You frown.

"What's the first!?"

A groan of your own churns in your throat.

Maybe you have to rethink your favorites list.

Best to vent your rage and shame with a passive-aggressive somewhat serious joke. You're still boyish-looking enough for it to be seen as funny rather than intimidating. Threatening death is also completely unlike you, you'd just kill someone if you actually wanted them dead, and you're not usually the violent type. You can move on to more important things afterward.

"Disrespectful degenerates, I'm looking forward to killing you now." You huff, crossing your arms.

"Aww! Tall, mad, and cute."

You raise an eyebrow. "I'm cute to you?"

"Uh-huh, for a Sith at least."

"Don't you realize that you have a chance of becoming one, assuming you somehow get out of this alive?"

"I trashtalk Cathar all the time, I can keep it up if I ever get a red lightsaber."

"Since when?"

"Long before this." Naziha scratches the tuk'ata's belly with her other hand, making him squeal growl. "Not a lot of other walking, talking felines to insult here."

"Just look into your Little Bastard's mind already." You groan.

"I can't just do something you haven't given instruction on that sounds hawk-bat shit insane."

"Oh for the love of Rag—"

Naziha furrows her brow as your lips thin.

Look to the pup and drown out everything else. You know the touch of the Force, it should be easy for you to speak into his mind and listen.

"...Okay." She looks down to her little bastard and focuses her mind.

About a minute passes until the girl lifts her head up.

"I'm getting nothing but weird jabbering chittering."

You raise a hand to your chin. "So it is an actual baby."

"Well duh." She lifts the boy. "Look at how smol he is."

"Smol?"

"Small."

Sighing, you shake your head. "How's training been without me? Have you had time to train much after you healed from your injuries?"

"It's been fine. A lot less injuries without you there to thrash us. We've had a lot of time to train: Imperial medical services are some of the most advanced in the galaxy, especially here."

You hum.

Acolytes are most vulnerable during downtime, which makes it imperative they get back up as soon as they can.

It's obvious that she actually likes the little bastard. You're not sure why she's hiding it from you: it's nothing to be ashamed of, and feeling ashamed over something like this is weakness. You find tuk'ata adorable as well, which there is nothing odd or negative about. Really, she should be more comfortable with all of this. The more she is, the less uncomfortable this insanity will be.

"You love the tyke, don't you?"

"I don't love him!" She lifts the cooing/growling creature into the air. "He's all over me and I can't find his mother, which means I have to take care of him now. I hate him."

"Riiight."

"I do! Look!" Naziha scratches his stomach with her claws, making him shake his leg. "He hates this so much he's twitching in anger."

Muffling a laugh, you lock eyes with ecstatic tuk'ata.

He's a lucky boy to end up with a master who values him.

"Do you want to train since it's just the two of us?"

Lowering her boy, the woman looks down at him. "There's actually three. I'm not sure he'll let me."

"Just put him down." You laugh again.

"I'm not gonna... Oh, you meant literally."

The little bastard whines as his feet touch the ground again, but doesn't do anything to get back in his owner's grasp.

A grin forms from your curved lips.

She might actually have more potential than Yang despite being a formerly crazed literal cat person.

Good old reliable. Can't go wrong with learning this.

A classic.

Voting closed; writing now.

>[X] Telekinesis.

Besides reinforcement, telekinesis is the other staple in every force user's arsenal. There's just something about flinging giant piles of scrap at people, crushing weapons, and choking people without even lifting a finger, though many people do as it helps them focus. Someone with telekineses facing off someone without it or force absorption is in for a lot of trouble.

With a flick of your wrist, you swipe the cat girl off her feet.

Naziha catches herself before her back can hit the ground and shoots you a look. "How did you do that?"

"Haven't you ever seen a Sith choke a man by just lifting their hand? I mean, you should've by now: it's pretty popular around here and often used against uppity acolytes."

"I prefer spending time in the desert rather than in this...sterile place."

You tilt your head. "Too used to shithols, huh?"

"No... Well, yeah."

With a hum, you fling your cat off to the side.

The poor thing lands on the hard ground with a yelp. "How am I supposed to learn from this!"

"In the exact same way you and the others learned from the last time I thrashed you: improvisation. Experience is the best teacher." You lift up the kitty and thump her back against the ground. "Come on, this isn't fun if you don't try."

Karimi grunts before drawing on the force only to get flung back again.

An hour and a half passes until your kitty cat puts together a weak force barrier against your usual pushes.

You raise an eyebrow and hum as your apprentice is thrown back for the umpteenth time.

She's finally picked it up.

Feeling your other apprentice's presences, you look to the training area entrance and see Arezoo entering atop a big tuk'ata with Yang someways from an odd one walking at his pace.

It seems they have as well, somewhat.

Arezoo was the least likely person of the three to end up with a big bastard tuk'ata. Yang would've attracted one like him but not that similar, contrary to the odd one he has now. There's something else than just irregular behavior, though. Maybe you'll look into it after you finish what you have planned: the Force knows you have plenty of time for such things. \

"And here I thought you were the big game hunter, Naziha."

"Just because I am a literal big cat doesn't mean I'm a natural hunter." The woman lifts herself up and widens her eyes at her pink comrade. "...Oh, that's what you meant."

Giggling, the degenerate pets her beast. "He can eat yours in one bite, fuzzy."

"I'd kill him if he tried... not that I like mine or anything."

"Suuure you don't."

You chuckle as you drift your eyes to Yang's strange boy.

Afraid, beast?

The creature continued walking in silence, ignoring or not registering your very existence.

A hum chimes in your throat while your lips thin.

Something's wrong with it, you're certain of it now.

You shrug.

There are far more important things to do though.

"Alright, let's all start training again!"

Each of your disciples grown as one.

Your grin returns to your face.

This is going to be so fun.

We'll throw them around while draining them of their life, and every time they make a counter we'll absorb it.
That's how this would go right?

>>4230189
I disagree with life draining. I think being able to throw a punch without their lightsabers is a talent that shouldn't be overlooked.

While you could train them for the rest of the entire day, they need to eat and sleep in place of being dragged to the medbay. A nine hour session will be more than enough to instill all they need to know about some basics. Naziha is likely to advance but not enough to get to the next level: you have to catch the others up to her while matching hers.

You pull your misfit acolytes off or further away from their tuk'ata towards your fine self.

Karimi ducks under your initiating right hook to receive your left elbow to the side of her chin.

Arezoo strikes her fist out in an improvised 'superman' punch too soon to land but on time to feel the impact between your jabbing fist and her liver.

Yang actually catches your punch but is stunned by a slamming headbutt to his nose before you grab his shoulder with your free hand to throw him off his feet with assistance from your leg.

Footworking yourself away from the collapsed three, you laugh at the sight.

They're still so green, but they'll probably be on your current level in two years with this training, if they live that long. You'll be a mid or high-ranking Darth in terms of power or even beyond in that timeframe. Many would rightfully think you value yourself too much, but that's the truth: you've been at this since you hit puberty and your potential speaks for itself.

Your thoughts change back to training as your disciples rise again.

One hour of using the Force to push around your disciples turns to three, another three filled with more thrashings pass, and a final three having them try to push you around with the force for once as you resume flinging them across the grounds.

Their abilities surely improved yet enduranc spent, they stay on the ground this time, only attended to by their respective pets.

You raise an eyebrow again at Yang's silent, vacant pet.

Something is seriously wrong with that thing, you can't help but feel it.

>>4231588
I'd say a Sith would rather attend to their mistress than attend to their pet after a day of "training".

>>4231590
We are rather atypical and we haven't seen our pet since we left. I don't think it is all that out of character.

Plus their breeding will continue through the night while we do other things.

>>4231595
I'll give you that but I'd personally rather not keep a darth waiting. Especially one with such an... appetite.

>>4231588
Alright. I can get down with this.
Tuk'ata death cage here we come!

>>4231596
The smartass answer is "Go faster then".
The reasonable answer is that she isn't waiting for us with any set time in mind. I would think we have at the very least 3 hours based upon how long we were willing to train for before everyone needs some sleep. Her hunger won't grow much larger with an hours dalliance but all the same we should get it over with quickly.

You've all had enough for a single day training on these grounds. Sure, you're not nearly as exhausted as these poor bastards, but you need to rest: thrashing a bunch of weaklings without killing them works up some stress. Also, you want to figure out what that weird boy's deal is before you get fucked again, as always.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Pick yourselves up and walk to bed: you've earned it."

Moaning and groaning, the trio do their best to rise.

The odd beast meets your gaze with its own.

Has the pain he carries spoken to you, strange thing?

Yes.

Blinking, you look deeper into its empty eyes.

Who are you?

It turns its head back to its master, watching over him as he rises.

You raise an eyebrow before shrugging it off.

Plenty of time for you to unravel its secrets later.

"So long, I'll be attending to... a certain someone."

Naziha and Yang shoot you odd looks as you head off to your mistress.

It doesn't take you long to find her within her chambeers, naked and under her blanket.

"You felt me coming, huh?"

The Darth grins. "Oh didn't I, sweet boy?"

"...Walked right into that one."

"More like hammered into it... over and over and over..."

You sigh.

There's no rest for a subservient Sith.

May as well ask since it's on your mind and she probably already expects you to ask it to her since she's a nosy Goddess of Sexual Revelation. You can always depend on Her, she is your sex goddess and ever bountiful mistress of non-stop gratification. Really, you should have sex with Her over cuddling because cuddling is something cowardly weak, effeminate men do. Then again, you are a weak effeminate man.

...

You roll your eyes as your lover laughs at her own antics. "Exactly how long did it take you to become Darth?"

"Three years give or take. Not quite sure, that time was quite hectic and I was going planet to planet tracking relics, dying, and talking to dead people."

"...I know you're messing with me, but I also know you're not exactly lying."

Nox giggles. "That's because I'm not, you silly boy." She pats the empty space next to her. "Now... come and prove how much of a man you are."

"Let's just cuddle."

"Cuddle." The Dark Council member pouts. "All you want to do is cuddle. Why can't we just have sex with each other?"

"...I still can't believe this is my first relationship and it's with you of all people and like this."

"What are you waiting for? I'm not getting any younger or older."

You shake your head as you approach the bed.

"No, take off your clothes: if you're going to be on this bed, you're going to be naked."

Rolling your eyes, you strip and plop yourself on to the extremely soft imperial sheets.

Nox in turn rolls over on top of you, interlocking herself with yourself.

You groan as you snuggle with your lover.

Even though this is preferable to constant fucking, it's still somewhat uncomfortable.

You close yoru eyes and do your best to enjoy the nakedness of your lover until you fall asleep.

Opening your eyes, you find Nox gone but yourself still in the real world and not some fever dream.

At least you stopped having those weird visions.

We need to reach mind manipulation mastery soon.

>>4234128
Great idea. Immunity to lightning would also be nice.

In theory, we could beat anyone at present. We just need a natural 20.

>>4234132
Yeah.
We have a 5% chance at any one roll to defeat our opponent completely.

But it's also a 5% chance to completely fail to do anything and decide that going to work is a better alternative for our time.

>>4234133
I was actually talking about juyo, since rolling 21 or over insta-gibs anyone.

the rest of our learning is just to make sure that we can deal with a wider variety of problems much easier.

>>4234144
I was referring to Juyo too.
At anything else though, we'd have to pass multiple rolls or have a foolproof plan to win unless they're weak.
Juyo is an all or nothing style right?

>>4234148
it is passionate and powerful. It's gimmick is becoming more powerful the more you embrace the joy of battle and other passions. Not really all or nothing since those tend to kill people who use em, so long as you can keep hold of youself in your frenzy then you will be fine.

>>4234154
I wonder how being able to use both sides of the force freely will effect how our Juyo develops from now on.
Do you think it might make us one of the best practitioners if we focus on it?

>>4234158
It is a form of martial art, the use of the force isn't really required beyond what all lightsabers require basically to be used efficiently.

The style cares for passion and we have passion enough to go around. To become the best practicioner we need experience though becoming a mindless beast that follows their impulses [like nox] could help with that passion thing as well.

Unless they look at this like it's a good thing, but mom believes everyone is a slave to the Dark Side, and we rejected that notion handily.

That's enough sleeping around and not getting the blood beaten out of you. A tough manly man like yourself needs to get his ass whooped once in a while by a strong, dominant woman. Maybe she'll make that one dream of yours come true after all when your tired and submissive. Your supreme Goddess will grant your darkest desires and comfort you as you cry in shame.

Blinking, you slide out of the bed and groan.

Please stop doing that.

Cackling laughter fills your mind.

No.

You roll your eyes as you get dressed before making your way to Nox's office. "Doesn't that ever get tiring?"

"No, why would it?" Folding her hands, the minx smirks.

"Seems like the kind of thing that gets boring after a while."

"A glutton for pain and domination would say that about a little prank."

Sighing, you shoot her a look. "Can we move on with this? You already know what I want."

"Oh dear Magnus, it's quite possibly the only thing you ever do."

"Let's get started then."

Nox rolls her own force-tinted eyes. "What would you like to learn this time?"

Now is the time to complete the training you've started with this woman ever since you first came to her. You didn't expect to advance so much with something you had little experience or interest in but you did. It might be your mother's talents finally awakening: that perfect nature reading of hers had to be passed on in some way. If it didn't though, you'd really like to know if you'll have one day.

I want to finish what you've been teaching me.

Nox giggles.

You won't be finishing anything: you'll just be taking the next step.

Then help me take it.

Beckoning you, the minx purrs.

A sigh escapes your lips as you approach her desk before letting her caress your face.

Sleep.

The world fades into black for the umpteenth time.

An assorted set of sparks and images representing all that you are appears.

One by one, the images and sparks distort into mockeries of themselves.

You don't know what's happening right now or what anything is, but you know that this is wrong.

Just as the distortions appeared, you warp them back as they should be.

The distortions appear again and again countless times before they're finally set right.
