OOC: This is done on the assumption that we're already in temporairy chambers for the GFFA Order. Where? Unknown (cause I'm to lazy to think of one). We're all here. Playin' Poker. Yes. That's right. Force wielders playin' poker.

IC:
Ahh finnaly, away from that dreaded system, High Commander Jorrus came back from another battle against the Huntarian Empire. The Andromeda was back in her drydock, undergoing major refits. Jorrus was finnaly able to get back to his newest position in the GFFA. He finnaly sat down and continued to shuffle a deck which was floating above the table in mid-air. The cards were shuffling rappidly, to hurry up with the game and get onto the discussions.

"Well, y'all know why you're here. We need to discuss some key issues here. The GFFA Order hasn't truely been announced. The Preator is still working on the finnalizations of our Constitution. We don't have a true home, so to speak. A place like the Jedi Temple. We need a true name. We are a Order of the GFFA, but should we truely stick to the title of the GFFA Order?

High Councilor Tadanobu, what's your stance?"

Cards then flew off of the deck, and landed in front of the High Commanders.

"Five card draw, Deuces wild. Annie Up. Your High Councilor."

Junko then threw in a white chip, saying with some relish, "I'm in."

She then drank some water from a bottle next to her, and said, "I say our name should keep the word Order in it. Having said that, I'm honestly stumped. Perhaps the Order of Freedom? Order of Liberty?"

"I figured," he turns to the Neo Zeta High Commander, "Himura?"


She then drank some water from a bottle next to her, and said, "I say our name should keep the word Order in it. Having said that, I'm honestly stumped. Perhaps the Order of Freedom? Order of Liberty?"

"Well, note that my people are the Malkir Order. Rather than the 'Order of blablabla.' Same goes for the Kirtir Order, the Jedi Order, and the Sith Order. I'm thinking, if we go with 'Liberty' it should be more like 'The Liberty Order.'"

"Well, note that my people are the Malkir Order. Rather than the 'Order of blablabla.' Same goes for the Kirtir Order, the Jedi Order, and the Sith Order. I'm thinking, if we go with 'Liberty' it should be more like 'The Liberty Order.'"

Junko said, nodding and keeping a straight face: "True. That's the way it played out in the canon, didn't it? Besides, Liberty Order's easier on the tongue. Perhaps Freeman's Order would be good too?"

She thought to herself, while she talked: "My hand isn't that bad...but I might have to trade out either the Jack or the Four."

OOC: 3H, QueenH, 9H, 2H, 9D this is a better hand then any i got at the casino last week.

IC: Himura threw in a white chip "I am also in."

He then sat back " The name is really not as importent to me as long as it isnt somthing too goody goody. Imean what will people think when i am Introduced as Darth Tyraany of 'The Liberty Order.'"

Junko couldn't help but snicker at the irony. She then said, "Well, what would you propose as a title, then? I thought of names based on the fact we are about democracy, whatnot, liberal ideologies. At least that's what I remember."

" Maybe so, still we should not try and define ourselfs with a name but with our actions." Lucfier said as he took a drink from a glass of rum.

" Maybe so, still we should not try and define ourselfs with a name but with our actions." Lucfier said as he took a drink from a glass of rum.

Junko then said, "As you wish. Still, I think a cool name that's not lame would be nice."

She then said more approvingly, looking at the rum, "Rum, eh? I like a good Cuba Libre myself, now and then."

*Ahem* "Let's try not to limit our name to one species. I only look human."

Rayje looked at his cards. I wish I had paid more attention to these games.

"I'm in also. What about something like The Second Order? Something to show that we are trying to return to the united jedi order of the Old Republic."

*Ahem* "Let's try not to limit our name to one species. I only look human."

Rayje looked at his cards. I wish I had paid more attention to these games.

"I'm in also. What about something like The Second Order? Something to show that we are trying to return to the united jedi order of the Old Republic."

Junko leaned back, took a sip, and said, "I could do that. After all, with the Masakis as an ally, we're halfway to bringing back the old Jedi. And, I've got nothing else."

Junko leaned back, took a sip, and said, "I could do that. After all, with the Masakis as an ally, we're halfway to bringing back the old Jedi. And, I've got nothing else."


"The Masaki's aren't truely in the GFFA Order. Hell, they haven't even sent anyone for the High Command even after I asked several times."

Ahem* "Let's try not to limit our name to one species. I only look human."

"We're not a species, perse (sp?). We are a united group of species fighting for a unified goal: Peace and Justice. While we could go with your suggestion and do 'The Second Order', Skywalker started up the Second Order when the New Republic started up all that time ago. Created a new orthadox Jedi. We'd be more of a Third Order. Hell, we aren't true Jedi.

I mean, look at us. We have communist Jedi as our Order's leader, we have maybe one Jedi on the High Command, several Magick wielders on the High Command (not true Jedi either)," Jorrus points to himself, "The Malkir aren't even straight Jedi. We use Dark Side powers to get to our goals. Hell," he points to Himura, "we even have a fucking 'Darth' on the High Command. A fuckin' Darth," he turns to Himura again, "no offence or anything Himura. Personally, I don't have a problem with that BTW. You're by far one of the more 'unique' Darth's I've met."

"The Masaki's aren't truely in the GFFA Order. Hell, they haven't even sent anyone for the High Command even after I asked several times."

Junko mused, "I know. But their presence in the alliance says enough."

And in response to Jorrus, she said, "I personally, find it slightly ironic. But then again, he's not your cookie-cutter Darth, like in my old Star Wars DvDs."

Junko mused, "I know. But their presence in the alliance says enough."

"That's true. I wonder if there is a way we can get a Masaki on the High Command.....

And in response to Jorrus, she said, "I personally, find it slightly ironic. But then again, he's not your cookie-cutter Darth, like in my old Star Wars DvDs."[/QUOTE]

"Eh? What you still usin' that old tech for? Go to holodecks. Much more fun."

Junko said, "I have an old Pre-apocalypse DvD player hanging around. Keep it well-maintained, lovingly used. I find sometimes, it's a bit more reliable, if limited compared to what we've got now."

"I am 'In'." He flips a chip into the pot, a bit larger than that flipped in by the other delegates.

"I am 'In'." He flips a chip into the pot, a bit larger than that flipped in by the other delegates.

Junko then slyly quipped, "Feeling, brave, are we? That's a big ante you've put in."

"I am 'In'." He flips a chip into the pot, a bit larger than that flipped in by the other delegates.

"Hmm.... Interesting. Now, what's your opinion on the matter?"

Jorrus folds his hand and puts it in his spot and gets up to get a bottle of hard liquor, a cigar, and a hot-pink visor, and sat back down.

"It's true we are a very diverse group. Perhaps we need a name that displays our diversity. Something like a universal order, one that can unite all."

"It's true we are a very diverse group. Perhaps we need a name that displays our diversity. Something like a universal order, one that can unite all."

Junko then said, "I liked Second or Third Order. But, then again....we could try Universal, if that's your bag."

She then got up, and went to get a bottle of Arrogant Bastard Ale. Opening the bottle up, she then took a sip, and then went back to the table.

"It's true we are a very diverse group. Perhaps we need a name that displays our diversity. Something like a universal order, one that can unite all."

Jorrus lifts up his hand, and points to a nearby desk. A datapad floats towards his open hand and he activates it, "hmmm.... Lets see what the dictionary says on synonyms of Unite.... Here we go. Collective, Federal, Congruent.... Not sure how helpfull that will be... Unified, Corporate, Unanimous...

And for Universal, we have: broad, cosmic, prevalent, unlimited, generic.... Well, a lot of words for both terms. But which to choose?"

Junko then interjected, "As High Councilor, I would like to say the name Cosmic Order, Unified Order, or Amalgamated Order would be nice."

Junko then interjected, "As High Councilor, I would like to say the name Cosmic Order, Unified Order, or Amalgamated Order would be nice."

"Amalgn....Aml...Amgalm.... GOD DAMN IT!!! Too hard to say for the common person, while it does sound cool. I'm all for the Cosmic Order or the Unified Order myself. Particularly the Unified one.

"Amalgn....Aml...Amgalm.... GOD DAMN IT!!! Too hard to say for the common person, while it does sound cool. I'm all for the Cosmic Order or the Unified Order myself. Particularly the Unified one.

Junko smiled, and said, taking another swig of the Ale: "Unified was my first choice. Anybody else?"

"Undivided. The powers we control cannot be divided into light and dark, thus, we are the Order Undivided. And are we going to bet or talk?"

"Undivided. The powers we control cannot be divided into light and dark, thus, we are the Order Undivided.

"If we were to go with tradition, it would be the Undivided Order...


And are we going to bet or talk?"

"Good point. It's your bet High Councilor."

"If we were to go with tradition, it would be the Undivided Order...



"Good point. It's your bet High Councilor."

"That's decent too, but I believe our purpose is to shuck tradition. Why should we maintain traditional names when we are not going to be atraditional order?"

"That's decent too, but I believe our purpose is to shuck tradition. Why should we maintain traditional names when we are not going to be atraditional order?"

Drinking another sip from her Arrogant Ale, she said, "The Order Undivided has a nice ring to it. But I'll accept either one. It's up to you guys, you pick the variation, and then choose-I'll approve."

She then said, "As for my bet, fifteen dollars." She then pulled out the cash, and placed it with the corresponding chips in the middle.

"That's decent too, but I believe our purpose is to shuck tradition. Why should we maintain traditional names when we are not going to be atraditional order?"

"True. I'm just used to hearing 'Order' at the end. While the Order Undivided does have a ring to it.... It'll take me some time to get use to."


She then said, "As for my bet, fifteen dollars." She then pulled out the cash, and placed it with the corresponding chips in the middle.

Jorrus switched his cigar from side to side, trying to get a comfortable position for him to talk and smoke at the same time. "Bet's fifteen. Anyone care to raise it? Now's also the time to trade in cards that you don't like," Jorrus spoke through his teeth, "note, you can trade in for a maximum of four cards. And if I remember the rules correctly, you can only trade in if you have an Ace. Which case, I believe you need to show it."

Junko then mused to herself, "Time to trade in the Four, Jack, and Eight. Hopefully, I'll get something better...."

She then said, "Didn't know you needed an ace to trade in your cards. Thought that was standard procedure."

"You only need an ace to dump your entire hand. I'll drop one card." The priest removes the Queen from his hand, and places it facedown on the table.

"It does sound a little difficult with Order before, though all things sound strange the first time."

Rayje tossed in his chips and looked at his cards again.

I'll trade in the 5, 10, and Jack. He placed the three cards face down on the table.

"You only need an ace to dump your entire hand. I'll drop one card." The priest removes the Queen from his hand, and places it facedown on the table.

"Thought so," Jorrus replied with a puff of smoke from his cigar.


"It does sound a little difficult with Order before, though all things sound strange the first time."

"Too true. This would be a first, and we are a new type of Organization."

Rayje tossed in his chips and looked at his cards again.

I'll trade in the 5, 10, and Jack. He placed the three cards face down on the table.

" 'k. Anyother takers?" Something came to his mind and he snaps his fingers, "OY! We need some food to keep us going," he pressed a button on his chair.

"Yes?"

"Yeah, this is Jorrus. We would like to order some food. Some Pizza and hard Pretzels. Get some more hard ale up here too. Anyone else want to order somethin'?"

Doron laid his cards face down on the table. "You ever get any bottles of Abh liquor? I'll take some of that if you got it."

Doron laid his cards face down on the table. "You ever get any bottles of Abh liquor? I'll take some of that if you got it."

Jorrus pokes the button again, "Could you replicate several bottles of Abh liquor?" He then turns to Doron, "Replicators.... Wonderful things."

Junko traded in her four, Jack, and Eight, placing them face down and placing them towards the dealer.

She then said, "Hmm...perhaps some Buffalo wings would hit the spot. And another bottle of Arrogant Ale." She then shook her bottle. "I seem to be out."

Lucifer traded in his 9D putting it face down in front of the dealer. He then looked at doron " Isnt it true a Abh can not get drunk?"

Doron hooked a strand of blue hair behind one of his pointed ears and nodded. "That is true. It is genetically impossible for us to get drunk. Perhaps if we injected it into our bloodstream, then you might have something."

Doron hooked a strand of blue hair behind one of his pointed ears and nodded. "That is true. It is genetically impossible for us to get drunk. Perhaps if we injected it into our bloodstream, then you might have something."

Junko smiled and said to Doron, enjoying what she heard and leaning on her arm with her chin resting on her hand, "Then you'd be quite popular where I come from."

The Abriel smiled back. "Why would that make me so popular?"

The Abriel smiled back. "Why would that make me so popular?"

Junko then began saying, "Well, we love to drink. We're social drinkers, and our national drinks are beer and whiskey. Since Abh cant get drunk, ergo, you'd make a great drinking buddy."

She then wagged her Arrogant Bastard Ale bottle, "Though I do prefer a strong microbrew once in a while-after all, I can't settle for pretty good."

"You know.... It's possible all of us can't get drunk. The force allows you to drink stuff and filter out the unwanted chemicals. You could even eat poisonous foods and not be harmed. You can even tell it was poisoned.

OOC: Luke has done it in several books (I remember the drinking part and poisoned food, but I can't remember which book). Plus, in KOTOR 2 you get a power which allowed you to filter out poisonous gasses in air which would normaly kill a human being with out an enviornmental suit. Why not beable to seperate the poisonous chemicals in food and the stuff which makes you drunk when you drink beer?

Junko nodded and said, "Oh yeah...that power is possible, I can recall that from a few video games and books. But I wanna feel the the buzz once in a while, so I've rarely used that one."

She then smiled and said, "Besides, nobody's tried to kill me-yet. Then again, they don't mess with me back home-last group of anti-Force terrorists were put down by my agents and the government."

"I'll just save on my energy and let my genetics handle it free of charge."

Doron shuffled his cards around a little bit. "Has anyone heard anything interesting in the news lately?"

"I'll just save on my energy and let my genetics handle it free of charge."

Doron shuffled his cards around a little bit. "Has anyone heard anything interesting in the news lately?"

Junko then said, looking at her PDA, "It seems that my government claimed a new province in thw Whirlpool Galaxy, with the sanction of the Eternals-Nova Louisiana. And, we've had a team of Acolytes win prizes in games in the Whirlpool, for best in Hand Weapons and Best in Strength."

She then pressed a few buttons.

"Word on the street also said there's a war going on. Something about local native fanatics fighting our boys for mastery of the province."

"Sounds interesting. I have no doubt that your boys will be able to handle the situation soundly."

"Sounds interesting. I have no doubt that your boys will be able to handle the situation soundly."

Junko then said, nodding, "But of course. We're good. We're damned good."
