See Finn, they have more in common than you realize! How cool is that? Also, he may or may not have been paying attention when all the explaining was going on.

"I don't have any pockets." Which in some ways could be a bit of a design flaw. Or at least an annoyance. Like carrying credits or whatever.

Not that he ever needed to... no one ever expected him to pay for anything. He was Darth Vader.

[forcesensitive]

Extremely not-cool, actually. The opposite of how he wants to live his life (although it would be pretty neat to be related to Luke Skywalker, he'll admit that).

"...Right. You shou--uh, I mean, it might be a good idea to carry around your communicator, sir. Gives you access to your account. I bet you can make it black, too." Wouldn't want to mess up that Sith Lord aesthetic he has going on there.

Okay, coffee's on him. Fine. This is all fine.

[dorkvader]

Can it have red highlights? More importantly can he connect it to his bluetooth? Maybe he shouldn't have left it behind after all. oops.

"Good point." Ugh, he's gotten used to having other people do all this shit for him. Now he only has FN here.

And he has to pay for stuff? Can this place get any more lame?

[forcesensitive]

Probably? There are red stickers, anyway. But at least if he doesn't have his communicator on it, he can't figure out there are half a dozen Rebels here.

Luckily, the coffeeshop is easy to find, and the Engine Grease special is exotic and full of caffeine. Just what the doctor ordered. "Here, sir. Uh, do you take cream and sugar or all black?"

[dorkvader]

"Do they have it in a latte?" At least most of them are force users right? A few of them he might not even want to kill immediately... one of them anyway... he hasn't killed anyone yet, that's got to count for something.

Yeah, on second thought, maybe not.

"if not... cream and sugar."

Yes, the irony of him preferring his coffee on the light side doesn't escape him. But coffee is not the force. That's duct tape.

[forcesensitive]

The only one he's sure on is that Vader wouldn't kill Padme Amidala, but like hell is he going to be the one to let that cat out of the bag. Not even going to touch it with a ten-meter pole.

"They got synthmilk lattes. I'll have 'em put sugar on the side so you can add to taste." Finn definitely would have pegged Lord Vader for a black coffee kind of guy. Guess one can never tell. He orders a small regular coffee for himself. Stormtroopers never get anything fancy, so black it is.

[dorkvader]

That would be... awkward. So very very awkward. Let's not do that.

"Synthmilk? Is that anything like that Bantha stuff? That stuff just doesn't foam right." Plus it's blue, really really blue.

He refuses to adhere to your expectations of him. He's his own Sith Lord.

[forcesensitive]

Finn is all over not doing that.

That gets what can only be described as a horrified expression. "I sure hope not. Banthas have milk? People drink something that came out of a bantha?"

[dorkvader]

Good man Finn.

"It's blue." Don't ask him about the taste or having to pick hairs out of it. Gross.

[forcesensitive]

"Synthmilk can't be worse than that."

Why would anyone ever.

[dorkvader]

You live on a backwater desert planet... you learn not to be super picky.

"It's not." It's bland, but he can deal with bland.

wrap?

[forcesensitive]

Backwater desert planets are awful and Finn hates them--but not the bone-deep soul hate Vader has, cause at least he's never had to live there.

"Okay, good. Back into the fray?"

Because if he has to be the one to escort Lord Vader around to keep him relatively out of trouble, Finn's up for the task.

This was so fun! Thanks

[dorkvader]

Finn, you two are going to be such bro's... you have no idea. Well, at lest as much as anyone can be with a Sith Lord... which isn't so much bro as it is 'guy I don't want to murder' or 'favored lackey' or 'last one to get slaughtered when shit goes down'. But it's close enough when you think about it.

He doesn't hate you is what I'm trying to say.

"Okay, let's do this. I have a fleet to take over."

The brute force way isn't going to work... so he'll just have to try that boring behind the scenes plotting stuff that the Emperor doesn't think he's capable of doing behind his back. But he totally is...

"As soon as I figure out how."
