BEACH BAD, BEACH BAD [OPEN]

[sin-and-misery.livejournal.com]

To say Vader was out of his element was the understatement of the millennium. He'd taken refuge under a large umbrella and was seated in his his chair as though it were the Emperor's own throne. Under the pretense of meditating, he was keeping a three-foot radius of space around him sand-free.

His beach towel would stay immaculate until he got someone else's blood on it.

This seemed to mollify Vader, and he leaned back in his chair.

"Indeed," he sighed, "my son is obsessed with this woman-- and I am sure she is not all she seems."

"Who is?" Beastboy asked idly feeling an uncomfortable wave of remembrance at a girl in his past that was just as much "Not all she seemed"

"I thought you said you did not know Jade?" Vader said, tilting his head.

"I don't." Beastboy sighed rubbing at his arm anxiously, "I knew a girl once who...well a bad man lied to her and made her do some bad things, and that meant she lied to me and my friends. I was just...being all lame for a minute." He tried to force a lopsided smile, "What's in the past is...well blown up by evil alien bug things."

"Betrayal by an ally is always a...painful situation," Vader said, choosing his words carefully. "It is unfortunate that she had to be destroyed."

That was oddly comforting...at least the first part.

"Well with any luck Stacy's telling the truth and we can bring everything back. She was just starting to get her life together and...well I promised myself I wouldn't let anything get in the way of that." He gave a thumbs up his smile brightening.

Vader duplicated the thumbs-up gesture slowly, with a quizzical expression.

"Indeed. With the knowledge gained here, I will reclaim my family and see to it they are spared the Jedi's...mercies."
