so I’m playing my new pro-Sith agent

and so first time at HQ after Jadus left this happened and BOY YOU GOT TOLD

SO HARD

I have never been pro-Sith in Keeper’s face before. I did not know he was that… openly opposed to them because wow that tone

for real Keeper actually scared me more than Jadus at that point

I LOVED THIS PART SO MUCH it took me so completely off-guard because Matthew was just like *subtle discomfort* and Keeper replied with a “yeah I know that feel but shh” and everything was so much on the down-low I felt I had unlocked something just managing to get that out of him

And then when I played on Diadre, I got this.  Her correction of him was more knee-jerk than anything, like a did I really hear that right at the thought that anyone in the Empire–let alone one in such a position of power–would dare even hint they were less than pleased with anything and everything the Sith did.  But turn it around from his perspective and it could be a lot more than that.  A brand new agent with a Dark Council member looming close behind is bad enough, but it would be a hundred times worse if they were a tale-bearer and a toady to solidify the Sith’s presence even when they weren’t there.

The severity with which he swats them down at this part startled me, but it makes sense that he’d want to get the point across fast and unmistakable: that no matter who they’re backed up by, he still has enough leverage to not be bullied by a lackey newbie who feels invincible because of Sith support.

So I’ve been making some form of progress at sorting out all my screenshot, and in the massive pile of everything ever, I found four consecutive screenshots of the purest Kaad I’ve ever seen. They’re all just … wow. Kaad is an Imperial treasure.

which imperial agent should you fight

kaytwodeetwo:

Roscoe Bryde
Who wins: Nobody
Roscoe is quite capable of killing you but that’s beside the point. Why would you fight him when you could be smooching his beautiful face? Can you even fight Roscoe? It’s a mystery.

Nathan Ashroad
Who wins: Everyone but you
Ashroad is as lethal as the rest of them but you should fight him anyway because he uses high quality expletives and words like that need to be shared with the world. Take one for the team.

Mitth’iri’akla
Who wins: ???
See, you don’t win this one, but I’m not sure if Thiria really does either. She cannot catch a break. The scoreboard lies unmarked over your grave for several years and then a point finally shows up on Thiria’s side. She doesn’t want to fight you, she just doesn’t want you in her way while she gets the fuck out of Dodge.

Eleven-Nine
Who wins: Ellie
Would you fight a cat the size of a small human? They are murder machines. Don’t even think about fighting Ellie. She will kill you silently and dutifully, even unarmed. No! Seriously! Don’t let the big kitty eyes fool you! 

Project I
Who wins: Iphe
Iphe is maybe the scariest one on here. She may laugh while you fall. Never trust the tiny frail-looking ones, man.

Leto
Who wins: Nobody
You probably get knifed instantly but honestly what are you even doing near this guy. He is a trainwreck. You’re going to die and it’s going to be stabbity and you’re going to be sad for a bunch of incorrect reasons while it happens. Maybe if you’re a robot you could take him but I’m not sure how that would work out and I’m not sure if I want to know.

Kaad Sadow
Who wins: Nobody
Don’t fight Kaad. He has enough to worry about already. It would be sad. Also he’d probably shoot you without any trouble. It’s just a bad idea all around. Fight his brother instead; it’d be a lot funnier, louder, and you might even survive.

Fighting Kleskizhae: He beams with delight and declares that he would be most honored to test his glorious might against a foe such as you, and says that he hopes you walk away from this duel to the death having learned a valuable lesson about not challenging those who are far greater and more excellent and powerful and good looking than you. He beats you down after a ridiculously long fight that is either him toying with you, or him toying with you so that Aeziya can shoot you dead. If it’s the former, then once you’re on the ground, he declare you his new bet friend and asks if you would like to come celebrate his victory at the local cantina. He buys you several bottles of wine, all of which seem to have come from vineyards on planets that no longer are capable of sustaining life, and all of which have been aged for several thousand years. He argues with the bartender when he tries to serve you a wine that is 3,822 years old, because if it isn’t from the vintage of 3,825 years ago, it is worthless to him. They all taste exactly like the kind of cheap box wine that broke alcoholics drink only as their last, desperate choice, but he describes them to you in terms that are better suited to describe philosophies. After the eighth bottle, you both get kicked out because it turns out that he doesn’t have the money to pay for all this million credit wines. He laughs, tells you to train harder so that someday you may be a worthy nemesis and walks away. You never see him again, but he still keeps sending you love poetry.

Fighting Kaad: Shoots your kneecaps off before you can finish your cool speech about killing him. As you are writing in pain on the floor, he pours out the jug of acid that he keep by his desk for such occasions on your face until it melts straight off. Doesn’t even wait for you to die before going back to his desk and calls the janitorial staff to tell them them that there is a mess in his office that need to be taken care of. Does not even look up from his paperwork when the cleaning crew comes in and mops up your dissolved remains.

Sometimes I just remember things and I have no coherent thoughts on the I haven’t already said, but I haven’t thought about it for a while, and now that I’m thinking about it, I’m upset.

This is what I am experiencing with Hand of Jadus!Kaad right now.

“You’re not useless.” – Psyche/Kaad

bunnyiscthulhu:

“You’re not useless.”

Psyche isn’t sure how many times she had said those words to her husband over the years, but every time she grew more and more firm in her beliefs that she was speaking the truth.

There never was and never will be a time when Kaad is truly useless. Psyche knew that from the moment she met him and she will die knowing it to be true.

But the dark whisperings, the ones his parents and the Sith had planted in his mind, would always come back. No matter how many times she held his hand, smiled and supported him, he would forever doubt himself.

It broke her heart to know that she could never completely heal him… but she had grown to love and adore him for his humility and the moments where he was vulnerable. His darkest moments, the moments he was willing to share with her.

From the bottom of her heart, she know with a certainty that she would be saying the words again and again for years to come and when the time came and her days ended, she ensured there were messages and signs throughout their house and his workplace to remind him: You’re not useless.

♚➔♐ for three characters of your choice

Runnin’ the SWTOR characters through the randomizer, got Kaad, Cargryph and Aduzeel!

Kaad

  • Sits: When at attention, he sits up straight, great posture, arms either on armrests or at his side, the very model of a good Imperial citizen. When engrossed in his paperwork, he leans in over his desk, puts his whole body like the paper is a strong gravitational field, and retreats entirely into his own world.
  • Walks: Once again, he’s got great posture, except that he always seems to be looking down at the ground, rather than straight ahead. He had to teach himself how to make eye contact with people but it takes a lot of energy and he avoids it when he isn’t engaged in conversation, like when he’s looking at strangers. (He still never makes eye contact with Sith under any circumstance. Kleskizhae is the sole exception, but he’s family and he won’t get angry if you don’t show proper respect, so it’s easier.)
  • Fights: He surveys the battlefield, picks a strategic spot with great cover where he can easily shoot at the enemy but the enemy will have a difficult time finding him. He tries to make sure to get there before the enemy does, so that he can ambush them. He likes his battles won before they’re started. He strikes first with chemical weapons of his own design, makes sure that there’s a corrosive dart in everyone, and in the confusion, he shoots until they’re defeated. Sometimes he’ll use less lethal drugs to knock out anyone who he needs interrogated, but if he needs someone dead, they will be dead.

Cargryph

  • Sits: She sprawls out a lot, all cocky, putting her arms over chairs and crossing her legs in a way that takes up as much space as possible, slightly tilting her head. She also doesn’t get into chairs like a normal person. She gets into chairs like Riker. (Unless the chair back is too tall for her legs to get over. She’s tripped over chairs enough times to be able to judge whether she can get on a chair like Riker, or whether she has to sit like a normal person.)
  • Walks: With swagger. Occasionally looking at people on the street and smirking or winking at them, just to see their reactions.
  • Fights: She’s had no formal combat training, so everything she does is something that she made up and had to test for herself to see if it works, and she’s got it down pretty pat. She’s a particularly good marksman, she has spent a lot of time learning how to shoot two pistols at one target, since that’s a completely different thing from shooting one pistol at one target. She covers the battlefield in blaster bolts and she don’t care.

Aduzeel

  • Sits: With his arms crossed, looking sour. Reading a text if at all possible. Usually has headphones on, even if they’re not playing music, to keep people from trying to talk to him.
  • Walks: He never gets the smuggler swagger down pat, so he does this ironic parody of a swagger. He knows he’s tiny and he knows he can’t really do it right, and he takes his inability to swagger and makes it into its own thing, if that makes sense.
  • Fights: His chief weapon is surprise, surprise and sucker punches and kicks to sensitive areas. (He’s studied multiple species to find which part of their anatomy hurts the most when kicked.) The blaster’s mainly for show. He knows some basic Echani martial arts, sort of second hand, through a captain that used to be special forces and learned the spec ops version of Echani martial arts, which is just the parts that are really deadly and efficient, without all the philosophy, aesthetics and body language reading in non-combat situations.

*obsessively logs in and out of Kaad to check his mail because I WANT SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE HELL DARTH JADUS IS UP TO OR AT LEAST AN ANGRY LETTER FROM KEEPER BEING LIKE “HEY ASSHOLE, FUCK YOU” OR SOMETHING CLASS STORY RELATED OR SOMETHING*

So Kaad has a new outfit and looks absurdly attractive. Like he has no right. If he keeps being this handsome, I’m gonna turn on DS corruption and he’ll be bubblegum pink and deserve it.
