Also always up for backdating anything specific done during events or plots that we weren't able to get to e.g. memshares, shapeshifting into other forms, etc. Just let me know what you'd like to do!

[Maul chuckles grimly at the mention of Anakin. He's glad someone else can see how dumb the Jedi can be.]

Once you meet him, you'll understand. He has not a brain in his head, just impulsive decisions he then tries to justify as being correct. That first day, apparently he thought threatening everyone around him was the way to get out of Deerington. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have killed someone eventually trying to get an answer that was to his liking.

[And the scary thing is that the Force-users in town are fully trained. Just imagine what the students that haven't mastered their powers and weapons yet are like!]

If it takes a good beating to get him to confess, then so be it. I don't have enough patience to sit around and try to coax him with pleading and cajoling to do the right thing. He started this so I am going to finish it.

[It's strange to think that, if everything Maul says is true, he may have saved more than one life that day. It's hard not to have at least some respect for him, in spite of all of the times they've been at odds with each other.]

It's a good thing you were there to stop him. He sounds like he's a pretty dangerous person. I'm not sure that's someone I want to run into, honestly.

[She gives him a wry smile.]

I kind of think there's enough dangerous people in my life right about now.

Anyway, I know you're going to do whatever you think you need to, so there's not much point in trying to convince you otherwise, but at least think about what I said?

He's a Jedi but he's dangerously close to falling to the Dark Side. But because he hasn't been on that side his entire life, it only serves to destabilize his mind even more every time he taps into it.

[Maul has lived his entire life in the dark so he at least knows how to handle it. For Anakin, he was certain it was more like a bolt of lightning charging him up every time.]

I'll think about. But, as always, I will do what I must.

[frogfear]

Oh... Yeah, I guess combined with the impulsiveness, I could see how that would make someone, um, a little unstable.

[He's actually going to think about it? That in and of itself is impressive progress!]

That's all I ask.

[survivalthroughhate]

I'm working on a way to get him back on the Light Side with Obi-Wan but it is slow going.

[Two steps forward and three steps back every time either of them tried to do anything.]

Good. And do spread the word that it wasn't me. Even if it doesn't reach everyone, it might reach some of the right ears.

[frogfear]

That's probably a good idea - find a way to at least balance him out a little.

[She nods.]

Don't worry, if anyone tells me they think it was you, I'll set them straight.
