I'm busy at a family dinner but I'll pop in later on tonight!
Toasty Mallow
I want Maul to know more about Usagi's past
Toasty Mallow
I want him to find out about Demande
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
idk how maul would feel about it, but i'd enjoy more shenanigans with him and vyng
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
not sure on a specific direction, unless you're open to him potentially starting on a path toward developing a collaborative relationship with the elements or something
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
but i'm interested in bouncing around other ideas too 
Jabbers
Not a full on direction but I just want more maul and Ruby team ups.
spicy mycophile
I want Jacob and Maul to end up talking about how similar their upbringing was in some ways, and how the Jedi and Sith weren't all that different by the end.
spicy mycophile
They're both survivors, and that might be a thing they bond over.

one day they may actually be civil with each other

also want more teamup

I'm hopeful Maul can discover that Savage is learning to read way better thanks to Willow.

: He'll be such a proud big bro. Especially since he knows academics aren't Savage's favorite thing.
Vettergesic
They are not, and he thinks Maul is better off teaching him combat styles than putting up with him sounding out words XD
Toasty Mallow
ALSO, I want Snow to help him get his horse? (maybe if you're up for the idea of it)
kiwi burgers
hm well death isn't permanent so maybe it's preferable to working with maul 
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
could you tell/remind me a little more about how maul's kyber crystal works and where it came from? that might be a place to start, if we ever go that route
Year of the Cat
Vettergesic
: Hehehehe he'll be like "You can either meditate or read this hour. Your choice."

: Yes! I think that'd be an awesome idea and I love how it shows Snow's more proactive side, how good she is at helping people when she wants to.

: Oooooo, alright! This might take a few responses, bear with me. So kyber crystals are very mysterious and semi-sentient in canon. To get one is very much a "wand chooses the wizard" type of deal for Jedi and Sith alike. They can see into the future and give their wielders visions. They are also one of the most powerful things in the galaxy, used to

Suddenly Maul is the worst brother ever ._.;;;; Mediating lets him sleep more easily tho.......
Year of the Cat
create weapons of mass destruction like the Death Star. But basically they work with the Jedi in harmony, helping their users by being the catalyst for their lightsabers. Unfortunately the Sith see the crystals as something to be bent to their will. It's mentioned once or twice that Sith traditionally kill a Jedi and take their crystal to get one but I don't
Year of the Cat
believe that's the case for Maul for reasons I will get to in a minute. So the Sith turn their crystals red and into an unnatural state by "bleeding them" which means putting a ton of anger, hate, and most importantly pain into it. Since this is anathema to the crystal's very being, it resists, and it's shown when Vader does this to his crystal it tries to
Year of the Cat
stop him by showing him visions of a better future if he stops. SO, getting to Maul's crystals personally...his saberstaff has four, two for each side, which means he had to bleed FOUR crystals, which shows how damaged he really is on the inside with enough anger, rage, and pain to do that four times over. BUT. Crystals can be purified back to their natural
Year of the Cat
"good setting" if the wielder is able and capable to do so, which basically is taking all of that bad energy out of the crystals and letting their natural balance return. The one time it's done in canon it's shown that a purified crystal doesn't return to their former color like green, blue, or purple but instead turn white.
Year of the Cat
But yes, if Vyng were to get near Maul's saberstaff, he'd likely be able to sense that these poor things are in an immense amount of pain that never ends and that they even know they are in a wrong state and how much that hurts them because Maul bent them to his will instead of working with them.

aaaaa, thank you for the rundown/refresher! I will think on this
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
if there is a close counterpart to kyber crystal in his own world, vyng might be able to freely communicate with them as easily as talking to a person. otherwise, he would need to contemplate a crystal via meditation

: Savage sells him on the network for a sandwich and soda.

but he can already guess that Maul's crystals are in terrible distress without needing to be near them

: 
Maul's been listening to his crystals be in pain for so long he doesn't even notice it anymore. I might add he's done this six times total, his original double-bladed lightsaber got wrecked in The Phantom Menace and he rebuilds it later on in The Clone Wars series. The man is so very damaged and hurting on the inside.

OOOOOF
Year of the Cat
Being raised by Sidious was no picnic. No wonder he ended up a rage-filled Sith Lord.
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
i mean, yeah, if they're pumped with that much rage and pain, vyng might just automatically pick up on that. he's part crystal himself, so it's not a stretch to say that might make him particularly sensitive to even alien crystals
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
that's...oof. man, yeah
Year of the Cat
I'd say probably yeah, especially since the crystals have a mind of their own. They might even reach out to him if they senses a fellow crystal-type being nearby. Like it's shown Force-sensitive types can even sense kyber crystals when they're just nearby.
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
OH MAN yeah, you've got a great point there
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
he wants maul to consider reevaluating his relationship with these crystals, but he'd also realize it's probably gonna have to be an ongoing conversation
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
at least there's some pragmatism behind the "honey vs. vinegar" comparison
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
instead of just being like "well these rocks' feelings are more important than yours" LOL

Definitely the better approach when it comes to the grumpy Zabrak. Maul over here like "I had a feeling once. It was terrible."
