Galactic Alliance: Ripples in the pond.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Ziaon sat across from Thomas. He changed from black robes to brown, and made them a little bigger. On his face he had a pair of shades. his hair was now also a ligth brown color. His shades hid the fact that his eyes showed boredom. Under the flowing robes Ziaon had his new lightsaber, which was the same model except it was the color blue. Though he made a backup saber this time, and hid it on the right upper thigh. He looked up at Drak's yawn and listened to his comment of the drug policy in Bothawui. He said "What are you smoking anyway?"

[TheBlindMime]

"Yes what does our Great Babysitter partake in that would be so offensive to the bothawui? Hmm...." Jocasta smiled as he proded into the Jedi's personal life, finally there was a High ranking jedi whom put Jocasta at ease rather then on edge. He ran a few fingers through his hair, having hair was still taking some getting used to. And his new attire seemed completely out of place, he was dressed to appear more like a hot shot speeder racer then a jedi. He grew more concerned about whether or not he was dressed to outlandishly for this mission to blend in on Bothawui.

[Raiden]

Giving a small cough, Thomas suddenly had the old cigarette back at the tips of his lips, smoking as normally as though it hadn't just been hidden in his throat for the past minute.

"Nothing but soaked tobacco. It's... a difficult subject. Needless to say, Luke will vouch for me keeping it."

He took it from his lips.

"Want a hit? It makes you feel all good inside. Not like that devil grass stuff that just gives the illusion of self-worth, but it makes you feel good."

Sha-viri had come to see his companions off. The new arrival in the group was an odd character indeed, and the smoke from his cigarette gave Sha-viri a pleasant, calm feeling, which he was unfamiliar to him. Not that it mattered, if the effects were positive, it couldn't be a bad thing.

He smiled and spread his hands. "I've come to bid you farewell, my friends. May you have gentle winds beneath your wings, and may the Force be with you." Only as he bowed did he realize that he was actually smiling. He dismissed it as one of the effects from the smoke.

[TheBlindMime]

"Heh, if I do want a hit. I'll take it off one of the ones that hasn't been lodged in your throat, right Ziaon?" Jocasta said as he nudged his fellow jedi knight. He was hoping the recent newlywed would confirm his opinion.

He bowed in return to Sha-viri, inwardly he wished that Sha-viri would have joined them, they would need all the help they could get to stop the sith and he had always been a admirable ally.

[Darth SS]

Luke entered the room.

"As you know, I have a surprise for you all. Look out that window. That intimidating ship? It's called the Helix. And it's for your group."

[Raiden]

Thomas was first to the window. He whistled.

"Niiice. Luke, you actually became a good shopper. Now, if you can just tell the other Knights that I need my cigs, I'll be set for quite a while."

[Darth SS]

Luke crossed his arms.

"No you don't. You've made us baby you all this time. If you're going to lead these Knights against a Sith Lord, you are going to be the best you can be. Not a drug induced version of yourself."

The tension in the room went up.

"Don't even think about attacking me Thomas. I fought Vader, Palpatine, Tsavhong Lah, and even myself once."

[Raiden]

"Fine. If the mighty Luke thinks that I don't need my medicine, then I don't need it."

He looked down at his cig, and sighed. He took one last quick puff, then dropped it on the ground and crushed it under his heel. He then looked back up at Luke.

"And I'm sorry in advance for anything I might say after this."

He then reached into his pocket, and pulled out a small vial of red liquid. He was hesitant to drink it. But, after a few moments, he popped off the cork, and guzzled it down.

His stomach started to burn, though he didn't show it on the outside. The only effects the others could see were his eyes. Before, they looked happy and warm. Now, they were cold and angry. Very, very angry.

He turned to the other Knights, his cloak billowing around him.

"Fun time is over. We're going to kill a Sith lord, so get your candy-asses on the ship. The best pilot in the group will fly us in. The best speaker will get us through. The rest of you will stay unnoticed until a fight starts. And if a fight starts, it better damn well end with the other guy on the ground. Understand? Good."

Thomas turned and walked to the door. Before he walked through, he looked at Luke.

"I'll give you credit for yourself and Tsavhong Lah. I'll always give credit for what people did on their own. But daddy let you win, and Palpatine was stopped when you weren't by yourself. When you were by yourself, you cracked. So don't give me shit. You win a few times, but your big talent is not getting killed."

Thomas then walked out the door, and headed for the ship.

(OOC: SS, don't be angry with me. Like I said in my bio, the guy was pissed 24-7. He always acted like that, so Luke is used to it.)

[OmniShadow]

OOC: Hmm.. I heard about Luke getting cloned in some book but I never read it myself. I really gotta get those...
Damn it! Your going forward to quickly!

IC: Arias was sitting some distance away from Thomas, he was now wearing a open dark green jacket with black stripes at the arms and chest. His pants where completly black except for some red marks at the bottom of the legs. under those clothes he was wearing a tight suit similiar to the one he usualy had, except for the color. This one was black and with some dark grey areas instead of only dark grey.

Right now he had no jedi robe's hood to cover his head so his completly white hair, which always looked unkept even though it was pretty well kept was visible as it covered the mayourity of his face. Although instead of the usual 'scarf' he had that covered his face he now had white bandages covering it from throat to nose. Only the eyes were visible, which was observing the newcommer suspiciously. He was also keeping track of the others in the room, but it was Thomas that interested him the most.

After the group had conversed for a while Luke entered the room and told them of his 'present'. A ship big enough to fit the whole group.
After that Thomas made his stupid comment about needing those ciggarets and Luke answering him. 'He fought himself? Thats a battle thats gotta be hard to win.' Arias thought as he glanced up at Luke with a bit of respect in his cold, grey eyes.

Right after that Thomas gave after for Luke's demand and drank some kind of weird red liquid, suddenly his personality seemed to changed completly as his eyes 'expresion' changed from happy to cold and angry.
After that change he started giving out orders and then burst out through the door towards the ship. 'I guess its just to follow orders... For the time being' Arias thought as he stood up and walked after Thomas.
