[19:31:58|Rey

Rey had sent out word for their meeting, to try to get as many of them rounded up as she could for this. Those who responded to her calls were given a set of coordinates on Naboo and it would lead them to this lake on the far side of the planet from where Theed is located.

The lake is massive, a huge body of water that sits just to the east of an equally massive swampland. There's a clearing large enough for ships to park though, and resting there solely by itself would be the Millennium Falcon.

Visible just outside of the Falcon, stnading near to the water's edge, is Rey in her dark brown Jedi robe, the hood is up and her eyes are out on the lake. She could easily be mistaken for a statue, if her clothing weren't gently whipping about her form in the winds coming off of the massive body of water.

[19:41:45|Aryn Cole

The Nomad is seen dipping beneath the cloud cover on a direct approach for the landing area. It's a slow, steady pace and the ship's engines grow louder and louder until the thrusters ignite along its ventral side and it emits a massive gust of wind in all directions. The ship has switched to a VTOL hover until the landing skids emerge and the craft finally lands.

Engines begin to power down and pressurized air is sent out in bright white hissing spurts along the exterior hull. A personnel ramp lowers and out steps the short explorer, Aryn Cole. She is not wearing robes, but she is wearing a nice outfit. It's intended for hiking, like a hunting sportsuit, with stylish boots, khaki colored cargo pants and a tunic shirt that's tucked into the waist band and pinned by a belt. She wears only a knife, no blaster or stunsaber, but she has a series of pouches containing all manner of measurment devices.

She takes a moment once she's at the bottom of the ramp to fix her hair, pulling the blonde back into a tail and letting what rogue strands she has remain. "Hello?!" She calls out, her gloved hands going to her hips.

[19:42:34|Elrych Cometburn

Elrych has just returned in system when the call came through so the old YT-2000 that was the Corellian Spike lands in the clearning not too long after. "Next time wake me up and we /won't/ loose money on a run." He says to a 3PO Unit just in the entry way of the boarding ramp as it lowers. The Corellian shrugs his dark green hooded robe on before stepping out and down into the swapy clearing, moving to join Rey. "Hey... what's going on?" He glances back to watch the Nomad come in for a landing, a brow raising. As Aryn appears he raises a hand in greeting.

[19:48:23|Yuun

Yuun jumps out of his ship, as it descends he notices the other ships landing as well. Moving quickly and landing, the small freighter. Yuun walks down the ramp, he glances around he isn't wearing a robe, but he looks more like a martial artist. He smiles as he sees everyone, "Hello." he says to everyone with a polite smile.

[19:55:40|Rey

As the others gather, Rey is pleased to see them and she raises up her hands to her hood and drapes it back over behind her shoulders, her hair is tied back in small braided loops on the back of her head. She raises a hand to wave it toward Aryn, having not seen her in quite a while she's quite happy that she made it out.

Rey offers a light nod to everyone as they approach, the lake waters lapping at the shore behind her booted feet now, she stands in the soft grass beside it. "I'm glad you all could make it." She says to them.

"I owe you some explanations, I know, as this meeting has come rather sudden and without word. I'm told this is common in the game of politics..." She looks over each of their faces. "Leia has asked this of me, and through me, of all of you."

Rey gives a glance back behind her left shoulder to the brilliant blue waters and then looks back to all of them. "We're to be representatives tonight." She says then. "Of the Resistance, and of the people of Naboo who are discontent with the decisions of their Queen. We're here to bargain for support from members of the second largest population on Naboo."

Its then that the waters behind Rey are broken by bubbling air coming from beneath the surface of the water, in three different places. Then suddenly three different vessels emerge from beneath the water.

Rey doesn't look back at them though, she seems as though she was expecting it. "We're going on a bit of a field trip. I hope you're all comfortable being a bit... submerged."

The vehicles that arrived from beneath the water all progress toward the shoreline and then their hatches open up, each one is piloted by its own Gungan pilot. One of them hops up and points to Rey. "Wesa ready to take you now." He says to her. She looks back to him and smiles. "Thank you, Grigga. We'll be right there."

[20:04:39|Elrych Cometburn

Elrych gulps as Rey explains that they'll be going... under water. "We're going down... there?" He points towards the lake. Rock walls were one thing, going underwater was another. "We got rebreathers just incase right?" He scratches the back off his head nerviously. "Right... Diplomats. Suppose we should work on that angle a bit."

[20:06:44|Aryn Cole

Aryn returns Elrych's wave with one of her own, filled with enthusiasm and a pretty smile. She's quick to close the distance with the others, and takes a moment to pull on a cloak for warmth, not for the novelty of it!

When Rey addresses them, Dr. Cole tucks her hands to her lower back and takes in a measured breath. When the comment about politics rises, a visible unease sweeps over Aryn's countenance and she looks down. Politics was not her strong suit even with her background. She seems nervous.

When the crafts arrive, they earn her attention, so do the Gungans! "This shouldn't be too bad. My family used to use these on Mon Calamari, or well similar crafts, when I was younger." She tucks a strand of blonde back and turns to regard the others for a moment, looking at their reactions.

[20:08:22|Elrych Cometburn

Elrych gulps as Rey explains that they'll be going... under water. "We're going down... there?" He points towards the lake. Rock walls were one thing, going underwater was another. "We got rebreathers just incase right?" He scratches the back off his head nerviously. "Right... Diplomats. Suppose we should work on that angle a bit." He looks to Aryn, "IF you're sure they're safe I mean... there's no difference then being in space..." It sounded less like he was asking a question and more like he was convincing himself.

[20:08:47|Yuun

Hearing that they are going underwater, Yuun can't help but laugh, "This is going to be awesome!" he says as he walks over to stand with the rest of the group. Rubbing the back of his head, Yuun looks to the water and as the Gungans water craft comes up, Yuun just grins, but he looks at Elrych, "Yeah, I bought some a few days ago, I already went swimming and did some diving, but this is going to be better." he says to him.

Looking over to Aryn as she speaks up, he nods his head to her. "Well I'm not good with Politics honestly Rey." he says as he looks to her, "I will not let you down and will speak when spoken to. Honestly I don't feel that....." he stops himself. "No negativity, sorry about that, this will work." he smiles.

[20:09:09|Syrus Volo Wandering his way over to the rest of the group, Syrus lifts a hand to wave at them and dips his head in apology for being late. Dresses in his dark-hued robes, the Kiffar looks between the rest of the Jedi and smiles, happy to be tagging along.

"This will be a good experience for us," Syrus offers. "We'll be just like the Order of old."

[20:15:07|Rey

Rey's eyes sweep over each of the Initiates before her, she takes in what each one of them says and she motions toward Syrus. "Precisely." She says to him. "This is what Leia has told me, that the Jedi were the orchestrators behind a new era of peace between the Naboo and the Gungans in the past, and that because of this... there is a great deal of respect in the Gunga people for the Jedi. Thus... here we ar--"

Rey is cut off by Grigga who is pointing now toward Elrych and Yuun. "Yousa no need no 'rebreaths'. Sssssss-kkaaa!" He shakes his head wildly allowing slobber to fly out of his big lips and into the water beside his vehicle. "If yousa breath water once, then that means me'n mine have done bad job! Hah haaaaaaaa!" The other two Gungan Navigators start laughing with their leader. "Comesa, letus go. Swamps be stinkin' good today. Messa not a fan!" He starts to climb back into his craft.

Rey, throughout this, has been looking back at their three Navigators, and now looks back to her comrades. "Well then." She says with a heavy exhale. "Pair off and hop in, I suppose. We're to speak with... well, their Leaders. They've invited us to stay the rest of the night, but I'm not sure thats necessary at this point. We'll see."

Rey turns and moves to the front vehicle that Grigga is preparing to depart again inside of.

[20:19:31|Aryn Cole

"They're not bad, Elrych. I promise. The only thing that sucks is all the pressure build up. You feel it in your ears!" When urged to move to the crafts, Aryn doesn't waste anytime. She climbs onto the nearest one and finds a seat within it. "Come on!" Her hands drum idly on her knees as she rocks slightly with the craft.

[20:21:46|Yuun

Yuun shakes his head, he's excited about this and well it shows within him and through the force. "Yeah let's go." he says as he walks over and jumps into the shuttle with Rey. He doesn't seem too worried about being submerged underwater. "May the Force be with us and honestly, this is the sign of a New Jedi Order." he grins.

[20:21:54|Elrych Cometburn

Elrych sticks with Aryn, taking his time hopping into the craft. "If you're sure..." He wasn't overly entheused by the idea but the people of Naboo needed them and there was a fear or lack of confidence to over come by doing this. A challange for himself. Sitting next to Aryn, he nods. "That I can do..."

[20:23:18|Syrus Volo Stepping into a craft, Syrus settles into his seat as best he can. Thankfully, Gungans tend to err toward taller, so the big Kiffar isn't hurting for leg room. Left to ride alone, the man's hands fold in his lap and his eyes turn to the surroundings as he prepares to enjoy the ride.

[20:31:41|Rey

When the Jedi all board the Gungan crafts they find how different the technology is to what they might personally be used to. Its organic looking in nature, and the canopys over them aren't transparasteel or glass, or any variety of. Nope, when the canopies close they are in fact some kind of 'Static Shield' that keeps the occupants of the vehicles safe from the waters of the lake!

Rey looks over to Yuun and offers him a sly grin to his words before she watches the vehicle pull back into the water. Each Gungan Navigator expertly pilots their individual craft and each one starts to talk to their Jedi occupants with a great deal of pride about what they're about to experience. 'A rare treat for yousa land dwellers!' They'll each elude to in one way or another.

The trip doesn't take too long... their vehicles dipped down beneath the surface of the water and the light from the Nabuu star above grew darker and darker until the blues of the lake turned from a light cyan to a deep deep navy hue...

Eventually the vehicles would crest over a dark ridge of rock and underwater flora and then, they'd see it before them, the shining bubble domes of the city of Otoh Gunga!

"Behold, Land Dwesllers!" Grigga says over the inter-vehicle comms. "Yousa on our turfs noooow. Haaa haaaa!"

Each Naboo vehicle smoothly propells through the water's darkness toward the shining city before them, each one moving toward one of the larger sphere-shaped 'buildings' that make up the impressive looking city.

"It almost looks like a chandelier in a grand hall." Rey quietly comments along the way.

[20:40:23|Aryn Cole

When the shield array came online and closed the gaps in the view ports, they were gifted with an amber view of the sky above. The energy wavers a bit, and touching it makes it ripple. Aryn laughs as a result of doing just that. "This technology is so alien, and yet so cool." She whispers back to Elrych. Then their craft is moving and submerges.

The entire process was rather seemless, and what was once bright above, is now dark. Aryn looks up to watch the glimmering surface of the water while she can see it, but it too fades and they begin to navigate the murky depths. Instruments beep, but that isn't what draws her attention. It's the glowing city of the Gungan people. "Oh my!"

[20:40:55|Elrych Cometburn

Elrych nods at least indicating he understands the thick accented and excentric gungans. Quite a people they were, reinforced by the grand city that lights up the bottom of the dark ocean, far from the warm sun of Naboo. THe lights glow and reflect in his blue eyes, brows raising as he takes in the sight. "Wizzard." The young Jedi and Resistance Pilot/Smuggler comments in admiration for the construct. "I like the color scheme, yeah." He mentions to Aryn.

[20:41:13|Yuun

Yuun leans back into his seat, and watches as they submerge and begin heading towards the Gungans city. He looks over to Rey as she smiles at him. "So Rey, how have you been?" he asks. "I'm digging your robes." he says to her. Though as the Gungans pilot the trip doesn't seem long, but still might as well talk right? Though when Grigga speaks to them, he grins, "Well I will say I'm happy I made it, this is great." he smiles as he looks to the Gungan, then over to Rey.

[20:45:40|Syrus Volo "It's absolutely beautiful, innit?" Syrus asks, leaning up from his seat in the back to peek through the viewport at the glowing city. His mouth pulls back into a smile as he looks between his duo of Gungan pilots.

[20:53:53|Rey

"Never better." Rey replies to Yuun with a half grin before she looks back out to the deep waters of the lake. "Also never did I imagine myself being this deep beneath water, unless I had completely gotten myself into a situation that I likely wouldn't get easily out of..."

Each Gungan Vehicle arrives through a Static Field gate, pushes thorugh it like a knife through soft butter. Each one settles into a docking birth inside of a pool built specifically for the vehicles and then each one's canopy deactivates the navigators start to disembark their vessels.

Grigga is the first to speak, throwing his hands up into the air! "Welcome to Otoh Gunga, Land Dwellers!" He seems quite happy to have them here.

Rey, is stepping up and out of the Gungan vessel. She's looking over to the others to check them over with a simple look-see and then she moves to the platform in front of the docking pools. "Remarkable." She says softly to Grigga who just flashes the human girl a big toothy grin.

At the exit of the Docking Pool room, two armed guards wait with large spears at their sides. Grigga motions to them. "Theysa will show you the rest of the way. Wesa be here when you are ready to leeeeave!" He says it almost like he's teasing all of them.

Rey looks to the others and steps towards the guards. They motion for the travelers to follow. "Comesa, Jedai!" One of them says in a very deep voice!

Rey looks to the others as she follows their escorts. "We're to see the Boss of the Gungas." She says then to the rest of the Initiates. "Are there any volunteers to speak on the behalf of our cause? To me this is a learning experience, as much as it is an important moment for who and what we represent."

[20:58:45|Aryn Cole

Aryn climbs from their craft once the canopy deactivates, and with the help of the pilot, she's eased to solid ground! Landing with a loud 'mmmph', she adjusts her clothing and removes her cloak entirely. It felt a bit humid down here, but the air was warm and comforting at least.

Aryn walks with the escorts, looking back at Rey when she asks for volunteers. Taking a moment to consider the task, she raises her hand to offer. "It may be a bit different from court, where I live, but I can give it a go." Her stomach suddenly felt a bit more tingly.

[20:59:21|Elrych Cometburn

"I'm a smooth talker..." Elrych says, catching up with Rey after disembarking the craft and looking around at the city they have arrived in. "But it usually involves lies or something... I mean, I'm working on the whole Diplomacy thing. I'm willing to listen and learn, suggest things where they count or I feel they might help." He keeps to the back of the group for the time being.

[21:05:45|Yuun

"Me either honestly, but I've always wanted to go visit a water planet." he chuckles. "I think this is awesome, I spent a lot of time on the beach at the temple." he doesn't give much more information than that, but Rey would know what he means. "So this is better." he chuckles. "What do you think of this so far?" he asks her. Once they come into the city, he gets out along with Rey and waits for the others to exit out of their transports. Straighting out his clothes he looks to Elrych, "Alright smooth talker you're lead." he grins.

[21:06:33|Syrus Volo Smoothing his robes in an attempt to look presentable, Syrus looks over to Rey with a furrowed brow as he listens to her. "I could give it a go, as well," he says, nodding to her. A moment is taken where he ties his dreadlocks behind his head and pats at them in an attempt to reassure himself that they'll stay in place. He smiles and stands up straight as an arrow, looking almost the very picture of a Jedi.

[21:14:00|Rey

Rey moves just behind the escorts. Other members of the Gungan society are within this 'Big Space' that they are now moving through. Civilians, males and females alike, they're all pausing to look to the outworlders and some of them are whispering. A few Gungan children are moving to run along side of the Jedi, they're smiling up at them befor their parents call them back away from the scary outsiders!

Rey looks back to Yuun and she raises her dark eyebrows. "The city is impressive. I've never seen anything like it... but thats unlikely to shock anyone." She smirks lightly then before her eyes move to Elrych, Aryn and then Syrus. "We may all get asked questions, I am unsure at this point. But if you feel you can answer a question, then by all means, please do so. We're represting a lot of people here who want the Resistance to stay to protect this planet and its people."

Its only a few more minutes of traveling the halls of the Gungan city, streets really... but they're streets that are encased in the tinted force fields that keep the lake water held back.

Eventually the group of Jedi are lead to a set of stairs that lead up to the Council's Hall chamber. They're told to wait for a few minutes outside... but when they're escorted in, they're suddenly standing before a mass of Gungans lining the walls, and on the far end a council of Gungan Elders.

In the center chair is what would appear to be their leader and he stands up. As he stands up the guard at his side--lower down beneath his chair-- speaks up. "Boss Binks resides! Speaker for the Jedi Order, please step forward!" He almost shouts the words out.

Boss Binks? Well... he crosses his hands together in front of his lap and he smiles at the collection of newcomers. He looks like a pretty pleasant individual!

[21:17:58|Aryn Cole

Not being singled out means Aryn won't be the first to step up to represent the Jedi Order and the Resistance. She leaves that to those who have fought longer for them. For now, she remains at the back of the crew, quiet and observant. Both hands are clasped at her lower back and she's watching the deliberation commence.

[21:22:09|Elrych Cometburn

"Nah, my kind if smooth talking ant what's needed in this type of situation." Elrych says to Yuun with a shake of his head. As they come into the meeting hall, he stays at the back, assuming Rey will step forward and speak for them or someone with more experiance in the matter. That makes him glance to Aryn to see if she will but she doesn't so he looks at the others.

[21:30:41|Yuun

"Rey like you told us, in essence we all are new." he is keeping his voice down so that only she will hear him. He understands where she is coming from, he looks at the Gungans and watches where they are going. He hears the others as they move up if they are. If not he doesn't speak on what Elrych says. "Though you are right we are representing a lot of people, hopefully we can do a good job here. I think the biggest thing is being honest. Convey onto them what we hope to have happen, maybe others who are more savvy with negations will be birthed here." he states.

[21:31:09|Syrus Volo "Boss Binks. Elders. We're thankful that you've set aside time today to meet with us," Syrus says, stepping forward and offering a respectful dip of his head to the gathered assembly. He sort of halfway remembers what they're here to talk about, so...why not, right? His robes are straight and clean, his hair is neatly tucked away, and the shining hilt of his lightsaber glistens under the light. Ladies and gentlemen of Otoh Gunga; the Jedi have returned. As far as they know...

[21:40:52|Rey

Rey feels obligated not to take the charge in all of this. Yes its an important issue that they all will have to face the consequences of, but what the Jedi Initiates are going through is an even more important issue in her mind's eye. She can't be there to take charge, take the lead and do things... not every time. Especially if something were to happen to her, Rey believes too much of this new Jedi Order rests upon her shoulders and thats a very big issue.

So she remains off to the side, and prior to entering the room she'd raised up her hood again so that her face was mostly bathed in shadow once more, her nose and lower face visible in the light but her eyes were darkened by her hood's presence.

Boss Binks remains standing in front of his 'throne' and he looks down upon their guests, still smiling. It only takes Syrus' words to get him to react and he reacts by dropping down off of the dais that his throne resides on-causing the guards in front of his chair to look very surprised--he walks toward the stairs leading up to where Syrus is and he holds is hands up in the air.

"Words cannot describe how happy does it make me to see the Jedi back inside this hall!" He declares, his voice is high pitched... but elderly, he's spry still but he's aged to say the least. "Please!" He says, looking to Syrus first, then to the others. "Please tellin' mesa all of your names!"

Rey's eyes look from the approaching Boss Binks, to Syrus, then to the others.

[21:48:17|Aryn Cole

Sharing a brief look with Elrych, Aryn shrugs, then watches Syrus take the lead and nods. His address seemed fine, but there was something about the way Binks spoke. It was like he had some familiarity with the Jedi. At his bidding that they introduce themselves, Aryn steps under the light and bows appropriately. When she's straightened, she smiles big. "I'm Dr. Aryn Cole of.. the Jedi." It was odd to admit in front of a group of people, and the Dr portion was just out of habit.

[21:49:22|Elrych Cometburn

Elrych is perhaps slightly surprised by Binks and his eccentric antics. His over joy of Jedi being here. He leans a bit closer to Aryn and whispers, "This might go better than I thought." Then the smooth talking Corellian puts on that charismatic sly grin of his and steps forwards. "Ayyye there Boss Binks..." He shoots finger guns at the Gungan leader. "Names Cometburn, Elrych Cometburn. From Corellia. Ever been there?" He looks to Rey and winks like the Hot shot he very much thinks he is. Despite his odd choice in cander, he's still in the robes of a Jedi and his own black and gold lightsaber hangs from his tabard's belt.

[21:59:02|Yuun Having been standing with Rey and once they were inside the throne room, Yuun doesn't look back at all. It's time for them all to begin working with one another and not depending on one person. He lets out a breath he was holding and as Boss Binks seem excited, Yuun immediately begins assessing the situation in the room not making in undo motion, but he does look around and at the same time using the force to pick up on any unseen dangers.

As Boss Binks asks for all of their names, though he does pick up him stating it's good to see Jedi in the hall again. "Hello Boss Bass, I'm Jedi Initiate Yuun. Nice to meet you, your highness." he bows his head as he steps up near where Syrus is.

[22:02:46|Syrus Volo Holding his hands out to the side at the approaching Gungan just in case Jar Jar is looking for a hug. Syrus smiles wide. "I am Iro'syrus Volo of Jedha. The Galaxy has had more than its share of ebs and flows since Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui Gonn Jinn visited Otoh Gunga, Boss Binks. We thank you for extending the same courtesy to us as you once did them."

[22:07:23|Rey

Boss Binks walks first to the first one who speaks, Aryn. He has a HUGE smile at what she says to him and he moves to reach out and take both of her hands in either of his, his hands are massive and very warm. "A doctor too!" He exclaims. "A Jedi andsa Doctor... Oh... you are a special one!"

The finger-guns from Elrych draw the Boss's attention and his big eyes sweep over to the Corellia. He presses his hands then to his chest as though he'd been shot from the gesture, teasingly he walks to Elrych. "Corellia? Mmmm... Nopesa! Never been to thata place. Many times have I heard of it though! Famous beyoooond, -words-!" Boss Binks will reach up and attempt to ruffle Elrych's hair. "Ely." He calls Elrych a nickname. "I like yousa already. Mucha personality!" His hands are thrown up high in the air after he says that last part...

And when they come down he's standing in front of Yuun and Rey. To Yuun he flashes a big grin. He reaches out to point right at Yuun's chest. "Yousa..." He says quietly. "Yousa... are the heart of the team. Meeeesa see that in your eyes." His finger points up at them. "Be calm here, wesa all friends!" His hands spread out to either side then before he looks over to Rey. His eyes on Rey, her hood is up but he doesn't seem to shy away from her face. "Strange." Boss Binks says then to her.

"I'm Rey." She replies to him as he says that at her. She glances to the others and then back to the Boss. He reaches his hand out and pats her twice on the shoulder over her robe. He says nothing else to her.

The Boss then turns and finally is stepping back to their speaker, Syrus. He knows the events! Jar-Jar doesn't hesitate and he walks right up to Syrus and wraps his arms around him! Syrus gets a big squeezing hug! "You know of Master Jinn and... and..." His voice drops in pitch as he steps back. "Obi." Downtrodden now, the Boss of the Gungans sniffles and reaches up to wipe at the back of his big nose. "Poor poor Obi..."

Jar-Jar turns then and starts back down the stairs toward the dais he dropped off of. The mood i nthe room has clearly shifted some, but before he can get back to his chair he stops and turns back to them to point at them all.

"Yousa tell me what the Jedi need, wesa are here for the Jedi! For Obi..."

[22:17:22|Aryn Cole

His hands are warm, but her gloves provide little detail in how they feel against her own. She squeezes thoughtfully though and dips her head with respect and a bit of humility. "I don't know about all that." Her cheeks are red when they part from each other, and she steps back to watch as he interacts with each member of the Order. Her thoughts are scrambled, and Elrych's comment hasn't gone to deaf ears, but she's not sure what to say. She hoped that whatever favor they intended to ask of these people, it did not tarnish the reputation of those who came before them.

[22:20:59|Elrych Cometburn

Elrych nudges Aryn with his elbow as she blushes, "He's right and you know it." He chuckles at the nickname, "Ely... that's a new one. I'll take it." He watches the odd interaction between Rey and Jar Jar and wonders just what that was before he's looking slightly confused by the sadness for Obi-wan. "Well I think we're looking for some help. An Alliance. We need allies more than anything. Places to set up smuggling oberations to move our logistics. Man power, weapons." He looks around, "THe eggheads would have a field day with these static bubbled. Really interesting stuff."

[22:26:55|Yuun Watching as Boss Binks move to each of them, Yuun is taking in all of this information even looking to where the guards are. The dark skinned initiate is protective of the Jedi here and even those who are not. He's had time to do a lot of soul searching, as Boss Binks make it to him, he nods his head, "Thank you." he says as he looks to him. Though his senses are still attuned t71+66

[22:29:28|Yuun to their surroundings, and he focuses on Boss Bink and Rey, he doesn't say anything though once he walks away, Yuun glances to Rey than begins moving up to where the others are. He is quiet for now as Elrych

[22:31:53|Syrus Volo Laughing heartily as he's hugged by the tall Gungan, Syrus gives the elder a few strong pats on the back. Dipping his head once more in gratitude to the Gungan. "Elrych has it right, Boss Binks. We're...finding our footing, but the Jedi don't have the resources we once had. It's worrying to think that...without outside help, we very well may not be able to assist the Resistance in restoring the Republic once more."

[22:42:09|Rey

Rey doesn't fully understand the reaction that she got from the Gungan Boss either, but she can't dwell on it as the subject of conversation switches gears toward business. She lets her eyes move to Elrych and then to Syrus as they speak up about the needs of the Resistance.

They're both right, but there's more at-play here as well. "The Naboo Queen is looking to turn the Resistance away from Naboo's space, Sir." She says to Boss Binks, pausing for just a moment. "We used a powerful weapon to free the star system from the oppression of the First Order... and if we're to leave--they'll come back--and they won't be pleased. We need your help, to convince the Queen that we need to be here. To protect, all of you."

While she'd talked, she'd taken a step or two forward, but now she's noticed and steps back again.

Boss Binks looks from Elrych and Syrus, having been about to say something to the two of them when the girl in the hood had spoken up again. He then looks from Rey to the others and then back to Rey. Suddenly he flashes his teeth in a big grin and his big eyes go back to the rest of the Jedi group, specifically to 'Ely' and Syrus.

"First Order is biiiiiig bad..." He says then. "Gungans, generally happy t'hide from that kinda threat!" He sighs heavily then. "But... wesa proud people. Wesa believe in the Nah-boo too. Oh... hows the times have changed..." He sighs heavily again then. His hands go behind his back and he paces from right to left in front of his dais where the other Gungan Elders all sit and exchange looks.

After a moment, Jar-Jar looks back up and over to their guests. "Hows aboutsa this!" He says as he raises a finger. "Together! Wesa all pile up and inta our big woopa-ship! Wesa go see the Queen ourselves! Weeeesa decide what we can give from there, after wesa figure out what'n this new Nah-boo Queen hasta say! Yesa?" Jar Jar smiles widely then at them all. "Less'n yousa all wantin' t'stay here and hide from the First Order?"

Jar Jar lets that question linger a second before he slaps his knee and shakes his head while laughing loudly. "Thasa jokesa! Yousa not allowed t'stay here, mesa would get banished for even suggestin'. Again!"

The council behind him all grumpily exchanges glances and mutters.

[22:48:34|Aryn Cole

Aryn is thankful for the lack of light where she's stepped because Elrych has extended the red in her cheeks for a bit longer. As the conversation switches to business, Aryn's face grows neutral. She has nothing more to add. It seemed as if Boss Binks already intended to speak with the Queen. "And what if negotiations with the Queen do not go as we hope? What is our contingency plan?"

[22:49:39|Elrych Cometburn

At the news of what the Queen wishes to do, Elrych kind of just stares at Rey... Then he looks to the others with a bit of a flat face before pinching the bridge of his nose. "This is why children arn't meant to Rule entire societies. They seem to have a hard time /learning/ lessons." He shakes his head and nods to Aryn, "Not a clue. Well... nothing that would be approved."

[22:53:23|Yuun

Yuun takes in what is being said and well it is the truth, he doesn't need to look to the others as they speak, he watches Boss Binks. Though as Rey speaks up with more information, he watches Boss Binks, though what comes next catches him off guard. "I wasn't expecting this." he says as it's suggested that they go talk to the Queen right now. HIs gaze shifts to Aryn than Elrych, "That isn't for us to say Elrych, she is the leader of her people there is only so much we can do." he states.

Looking up to Boss Binks, "We will come with you and maybe with your help we can help come up with something. As it has been said, if we do have to leave, we can't say for sure if the First Order will come back or not, but I feel they will unfortantnly." he sighs. "We just want to help and like the others stated begin building up again so we can help protect not just the Naboo and Gungans but the others as well and hopefully find allies during this time."

[22:59:08|Syrus Volo "Thank you, Boss Binks," Syrus says, hands moving to rest cling to his tabard. Taking a few steps back, the Kiffar pulls himself back from the spotlight.

[23:05:35|Rey

Boss Binks catches a bit of what Elrych says and he steps up the small stairs toward the area where the Jedi are. "Might'n surprise yousa, these Nah-boo'n rulers." He points out while raising a finger to wiggle it around some while talking. "Met'n some in my daysa who woulda knocked your boogas right offa your topn's!" His hands are animatedly thrown up into the air again as he almost shouts that last word.

He then turns around and folds his hands behind his back again. "Wesa gonna go'n see the Nah-boo again. Far too long'n hassa gone by since'n our peoples were togethers in strength! Look'n like the days of gonesa comin' back now!"

Boss Binks turns back to the Jedi and he spreads his hands out to the sides. "Wesa show you around Otoh Gunga and then wesa get on the biiiiig woopa-booga! Yousa young'n Jedi are gonna get the scenic route back t'that'n Theed City!"

Binks slaps his hands together and his Guards step forward to the Jedi. "Lets get this show on the roadsa! Yaaaah!" The Boss seems really excited. Maybe TOO excited for this!
