[The old man in hooded robes as dark as the void of space seems to raise out of the shadows from a near alleyway and blocks the path of the fleeing thief with surprising speed. Said thief takes one look at the face under the hood and comes to screeching halt as if he were paralyzed by the slight. His face froze in wide-eye horror and mouth stuck in scream that will not come out. He will stay like that even as the neophyte crimefighters come to apprehend him a few minutes later.
The man in black then calmly proceeds to walk away, seeming now so terribly bent and frail as he leans upon his twisted cane. His presence seemly invisible to usually overly-curious natives of the city as they stroll past him without a glace. But other imports can see him alright and if they have sense for it, can feel the ominous aura radiating off him. It is a signal calling out for all those wise in the ways of the Dark.]
DE CHIMA
[The old man in black is out in storm, assuring panicked citizens that there is nothing to fear. That he who was a Senator, a Chancellor and now an Emperor will take care of things so just go back to your homes and businesses and not worrying about a thing.
And eerily enough, it works. They march back to their homes with calmed faces and mechanical walks. Dare you approach him in this downpour that doesn't seem to bother him in the least?]
