Video; During the Blackout
[Luke Skywalker's constant field of mental suggestion keeps his Empire of Light peaceful. With Skywalker at the synod, the task was entrusted to Darth Jadus.
The world will now learn what a mistake this was.]
This world has always been a cage.

An enclosure. Well-suited for its purpose, for it has no walls that mortal hands can tear down, no door that can be unlocked.
All that is provided to you is artificial. Pale imitations of true power are afforded to us, placating the complacent.

I am not swayed nor deceived. There is only one power we possess of consequence. Only one that truly reshapes the world.

The distortion we create. I have studied it for many years now. I learned its subtleties by observing your petty struggles, and I have gathered its echoes from all who entered this Empire. I planted its seeds. Today, they germinate.

The energy release will be uncontrollable. I will not wield it--I do not seek to conquer you. Only to instruct you, and to attain what freedom is left to us here. All my notes have been disseminated, so that others may learn from this act, and imitate it.
Bring me your hatred and fear and revulsion. These gifts usher in a new Empire.
[The air around the seed begins to ripple. It does not split open--not yet. Perhaps there is still time to stop him--talk him down here, or try to find him.]

[[ooc: This little sideplot is taking place with the permission of our lovely Skyla, the creator of the Empire of Light. If you have any questions or desire to get involved, come talk to me at

Video; UN: Pidge
[ Pidge's face fills the screen, a confused sort of horror clear on her features. ]
Video;
Seek safety if you wish, and know that truly, there is none. This world is too fragile to ever shelter us. All will be tainted by distortion.
Video; UN: Pidge | Sorry! Life exploded then I got distracted by modding Skyrim
Her Luke had warned her about Jadus's potential creep factor, but this seemed A Bit Much, even for an ancient Sith.
If the transport to Synod was still active she was getting out while the getting was good. ]
Are you crazy? You could kill all of us! And I like being alive!
Video; | Not a problem! I've definitely lost myself down that rabbit hole before
Video; | It's a deep hole and you never really get out
[ Her bag packed, Pidge darted out of her room and down the hall. The weird distortions she'd seen on Jadus's side weren't visible but she didn't know where Jadus was or how quickly it would spread. ]
And of course it can't be enough that I'm stuck in an alternate world where my best friends are evil dictators mind tricking people into complacency, instead I get to deal with that and now you sacrificing us all to some weird seed thing.
What even is that?!?
