Surely one of the most beautiful apartments on the Coruscant skyline. With beautiful views overlooking to the Jedi Temple ruins as well as the Senate, Naberrie lives in the political center of Coruscant. This apartment was once the residence of the Senator's aunt, Padmé Amidala, who was also once Senator for Naboo when she lived.

With large scale windows and balconies, it is perfect for living and for recieving guests.....

When she is not on Naboo, she is always here.

If you wish to speak to the Senator about important matters please announce yourself and her handmaidens will excort you in.


The Senator is currently on Coruscant

Nearly ten minutes later Phoebe had made it to the huge apartment complex where Miss Amidala's resided. She walked up to the front desk and waited for someone to help her out to see if The Senator would be available for a meeting. She just hoped she was at her apartment during this time. She had hear rumours about Miss Amidala being a potential target for bounty hunters but why they would ever want to kill her was beyond Phoebe's imagination.

Ray walks in with a troubled face. You could almost feel his anger comeing off his body. He looked up a Phoebe.

"Is she here?"

He looked around and found a seat. Ray's face was twisted as he went into thought about how Senator Organa took Ray's visit so well. He stop thinking,layed back and relaxed.

"I'm not sure Ray....I'm still waiting for someone to acknowledge our prescense." Phoebe replied quietly as she took a seat and relaxed. She looked at him before asking, "So what exciting things have you done in your life?"

She didn't want to bring up old memories of the past because somehow she could see he too led a hard life such as she did. She didn't want to upset him. In the end all of the pain she had gone through while growing up - it only made her need to become a senator among other things greater. This was the fuel that feed her firey exterior and interior. She did'nt want to be caught looking at him so she quickly glanced at his arms and then turned her attention back to his face and waited.

He brushed on his robes and thought...could he tell her he stole from Jedi,killed a former guardian,his parents killed by thieves? No,he didn't need to worry her.

"I have lived a life that could have been better,but could have been much worse,"

He looked around. He understood what she was getting at.

"My parents were killed and I had to resort to being up for hire...I stole something realy important in my past and I'm sure any day I'll be drug away,"

Ray got histerical and started laughing. He knew after he said what he did he could trust her. She wasn't like the others who looked down on him. He kicked back and turned his head at her...it was the first time he had actually looked at her and not in any hurry.

"If you want to hear my wole life you will have to ask. If not then I'm gonna rest before I talk to the senator,"

Captain Typho entered the room

"The Senator is ready to have a guest but only one guest per time..... One will have to leave until the interview is finished"

Typho Signals Ray to come and speak with the Senator while Phoebe leaves.


OOC: Remember guys, if you see someone else waiting to speak to a Senator, don't post here until the interview is finished

EDIT: Sorry Confessor, I had said you would speak with padme first but you havent been around so I only think it fair to let Ray speak with her since you are not here

Stands up and brushes his robes.

"Wish me luck,I'm gonna need it," He walked in and the guards stopped him the second he saw him but Captain Typho motioned them away.

"I give'm this,they keep the place tight,"

He went in and stood until the captain sat him in a comfy chair. He looked around but the senator wasn't there so he rested.

The Senator, followed by her handmaiden entered the room.

She shook Ray's hand

"Nice to meet you Sir, I'm Padmé. You must be new to the university, congrats. I myself never learned politics through university"

She seems to be unsure of Ray's character

"So, what brings you here? Do you have any questions?"

He stood and bowed. Then sat down all the time he was looking at her he was telling how she felt by the expressions on her face. He sat when she did and started by saying.

"Your not like Bail...are you?"

He didn't like the way he felt about his situation. He felt like it was an interrigation not a tuter and student.

"I guess you will ask me what he did?"

He was trying to be as polite as possiable.

She smiled

"Well Senator Organa does tend to look people up and down, but I think we all do to a degree. Believe me, he is a trustworthy man. Don't judge him too quickly. We both just want to help the university students"

"Do you originate from Coruscant?"

He just nodded yes and went on to tell him about his parents and his younger life. He didn't say anything about killing his friend or his old guardian.

"Mr.Oragana asked me why I wanted to be in politics and I told him to do away with the bads of the galaxy and stuff like that. Everyone probaly says the same thing but atleast I mean it, I am ready to go out there and hunt murderers myself," he always got into these talks.

He paused and was thinking if he could talk openly or if he should just try and get by...

"Anything you want to ask me ma'm?"

She found that to be a strange request as she was just being polite in asking of where he had come from

She laughed slightly.

"Well actually, I am meant to answer questions for you. I would like to be your confidant. If you feel you need to speak to me about something then all you have to do is ask"

He went a little red in the face on how he spilled out his entire life. He felt more relaxed and took one good look around the room. Then he looked her in the eye.

"Oh...well there is one thing I've wanted to know about," he had to think a little, "I heard about these assassains and wanted to know about them...Some people say it's Dark Jedi,"

He needed to know all he could about these and knew what and who to ask if this didn't work.

"Also I wondered about how you felt about the Jedi,"

She thought for a moment

"I'm unsure about these events surrounding the assasinations. Who is could be? Several I suppose. The assasination attempts I suffered were at the hands of the Separatists..... But now we find out that Emperor Palpatine was behind the attempts all along........ And due to personal reasons my opinions on the Jedi have been shaken to say the least"

She paused for a moment

"You seem interested in the Jedi..... Do you have hopes to be approached? They say it is a rare but great honor"

His soft smile went a little crooked but just slightly.

"You mean hopes of turning into a Jedi?" he laughed, "No,no I see me doing something much different with my life...still an honor from where I stand but much different,"

His face went back to the soft smile as it normally was.

"I don't really like the Jedi because they are to..um..I just don't see any point in being there. I want to be a senator bring peace to the galaxy and die a happy man,"

"Sadly a Senator can not bring peace to the galaxy..... It would take alot more than that stance to do such a thing.... I think it would require alot more work..... I have the same ideals as you..... I hope to make things better........ At the moment the only people I can do that for is those from my home planet, Naboo......"

She looks down a little

"As I said, my opinion on the Jedi have shaken..... I hope things can return to the way they used to be......... But that could be a dream none of us can reach for...."

He got worried about how depressed she looked so he got up and put a hand on her shoulder

"It is alright to feel this way. I hope I can make everyone's dreams come true,"

The guards motioned for him to remove his hand and he did.

"I'll let myself out. Remeber though, no matter what, there is always atleast one person in this world who cares and can do something for you...I don't know who but I know it's someone,"

He bowed once more and left.

She left with her handmaiden into the other room, waiting for another guest to arrive

(OOC: Sorry about that..the only time I have internet access is during the day at work and unfortunately I don't have it at home. So my posts will be limited until I get the internet at home. So please bear with me guys and thanks.)

Phoebe watched Ray come out of the room. "I'd love to talk to you further to perhaps share some more past histories. Do you have any current appointments?? Well I'd better get in there. Hope to talk to you once I get done."

She gave Ray a warm and friendly smile and her gray-green eyes glittered in friendship before she entered the Senators doors.

(Tag Ray and Padme.)

As Phoebe entered the room, Captain Typho walked behind her, securing the room as Ray left. He offered her a seat on the sofa, opposite another sofa in the apartment.

A few moments later, Padmé returned with her handmaiden and sat opposite Phoebe after giving her a hand shake.

"It appears I am popular company today. It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry that we can not speak alone but due to the attemps on my life in the past, it is now common that my guards stay with me"

She offers Phoebe a drink

Phoebe smiled politely and sat down on the sofa and sunk down because of the cushions being soft and very comfortable.

"It is all right ma'am....if I were in your shoes I would do the same thing you are doing."

Phoebe took a glass of water that was offered to her. "Well as you might know I'm here to see what I must do in order to become such as grand senator as yourself. I'm Phoebe Valentine daughter of Cole Valentine on Naboo. Both of my parents were into some sort of law. My father was a criminal prosecutor and my mother was a business lawyer. I've been studying all of my life but I want to learn more. To be able to seek out the truth and help others defend what they know is right. But enough about my past."

"Please, call me Padmé..... You are from Naboo? Lovely to meet another child of Naboo...... Valentine..... I do recognise that name..... You must be very proud of your parents, as I'm sure they are of you...... It is good to hear that you wish to help others...... It was that drive in myself which led me to where I am sitting now....... I can see you have a good heart..... I am good at reading people..... It is a skill you must acquire to be in this business sadly..... As many as not as they seem......"

She already seems to trust Phoebe

"What are your opinions of the galaxy we live in? Are there things you would like to change?"

"My parents...well I'm sure they are proud of me but I wouldn't know. I haven't seem them in a long time....I know for a fact my mother is dead....while my father...well...he didn't even recognize his own flesh and blood when I went to visit him all of those years ago." Phoebe became silent as she considered Padme's question. After a few moments of thought she looked at Padme'.

"Personally....I believe the reign of slavery should stop on Tatooine but the thought is that those slave traders do that for a living to make their money while they let their 'merchandise' suffer the consequences. I would ask for that to stop because you might not believe this but at one time I too was a slave. And I know that each and every person has a right to be free from the moment they are brought into this world. They have the right to feel the wind on their face. To be able to dream and make those dreams come true. To be able to go where they want to go, drink what they want to drink, to eat what they want to eat. To love whom they want to love. All of these emotions are part of being human. If you take away any of these we are no more than heartless creatures that roam the galaxies...." She paused for a moment to take a drink of water and then resumed speaking.

"Maybe i'm dreaming a crazy dream but I would like my dreams to become a reality for everyone else. And on another matter...I dislike what the Empire has done to the judicial system. I saw this through my parents who were supporters of the Empire what happened. Their first mistake was joining the Empire and thinking they would want peace for us all. I saw that mistake at a young age and I knew that someday they would only live up to their uses until the Empire gained more spies. Then when their usefulness was gone then they would be gone. The Empire is full of lies and deceit. They say they want peace but all they want to do is…well….”

She leaned in close to Padme' and whispered. “They want to rule everyone of us.”

Phoebe then leaned back into the sofa. “I wasn’t raised by my real father; I was raised by Marcus Fletcher who is a regional senator from Naboo. He taught me everything I know and he is my true father. He taught me to look everyone in their eyes while I tell them what my opinion is. He taught me not to lie or hide my true ambitions. While living with him I became loved and appreciated for the first time in my life. I want to be able to have all of the races have justice in their separate systems but most of all I do want peace but I know we will have to fight for it and I fear that this war may last into many of the upcoming years of my life.”

She stood up and went to the window and looked out it before turning to Padme'. "I know you can keep a secret...I can see it in your eyes. All of my life something else has been guiding me down my path. I don't know what it is but this....let's call it guardian has always helped me in the worst of situation. Like when I was a slave...someday I knew I would leave there. Yet while I was with my father...this feeling grew stronger. I don't know what it is but I know it helps me out. You see unlike most who have hatred in their hearts I don't hate my parents for what they did. I know that they did was their choice and for that I don't want to thank them or be angry with them. It was their choice and I had to live it out. Maybe I'm crazy to have this feeling but it guides me." She shook her head and smiled before she sat back down.

Phoebe took another long drink of water and sighed. “I just don’t want anymore innocent people to die daily. I do hope I've answered your question.” She gave Padme' a friendly smile. “Is there anything else you would like to know Padme'?”

Padme smiled to her

"No, but I think your views very much reflect my own concerning the situation of the galaxy"

Padme looked around her, as though she wanted to say something but due to present company she couldn't...."

"Have you ever been to the Lake Country on Naboo?"

"No, I'm afraid I haven't heard of the Lake Country. And sadly, I did not live on Naboo long enough to discover its wonders because I was sold into slavery at the age of four. You see my mother left when I was about two and I really don't remember anything about her. She wasn't kind or caring nor was my father...they bothed loved their jobs and only focused on that but when they were together the only thing they did was fight with each other." She paused and offered Padme a smile. "Maybe one day I'll see the Lake Country and I am sure it is just as beautiful as the tone in your voice says. Maybe in time I will fid someone to love but I want to accomplish my dreams first and they are to become a senator."

Phoebe noticed Padme wanting to say something else but she said one final sentence. "I would be willing to learn anything I can from you. My main problem is I would like to go to the university and work at the same time. I would like to be able to save up some money in order to visit Naboo again and to see the Lake Country with my own eyes and be amazed by its beauty and wonders."

Padme returned the smile. Captain Typho walked forward

"M'Lady, we must leave for Naboo soon"

Padme nodded, "Yes you're right"

She stood to walk with Phoebe to the door.

"I'm sorry, I must now return to Naboo. It was lovely to meet you Phoebe, I will certainly keep in touch...... My advice to you is to speak with Senator Organa in the Palace District....... You will surely benefit from his company"

She shakes her hand

"Do take care...... We will meet again very soon"

Padme turns and leaves along with her handmaiden and Captain Typho.


The Senator is now on Naboo (She will recieve guests when she returns)

"Thank you very much Padme. It was an honor to meet you ma'am. Take care of yourself and I will seek out Senator Organa as you requested. I do hope in the near future we will speak again." Phoebe replied as she flashed Padme a friendly smile and bowed her head as Padme left.

Once she was gone she didn't see any signs of Ray so she assumed he must have gone on without her. In the possible future she would speak with him. His past was mysterious but her mind turned to the thoughts of the item that Padme had handed in their handshake just before she left.

Phoebe had quickly tucked it away inside of her duster pocket. She walked from the Apartment Complex and headed back out onto the streets. She looked for the nearest hollographic map of the city and walked up to it. When she stood in front of it she searched for the Palace District. She just hoped he would be there and be willing to have an audience with her. After finding the location on the map she took off and as she did her eyes scanned for Ray. She had wondered where he had gone off too.

He snuck up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Looking for someone? I'm sorry I had to..um..I had to go somwhere,"

He looked around to see what she was doing.

"If you are loking for the other senaor he is that way. If I do say so he is not like Padme at all,"

EDIT: ray, please don't spam post on these threads, they are for interviews only between one character, not for multiple members to meet up on. There is a high security here. I will let it go this once but future replies that are spamming will be deleted

(OOC: Ray I've moved this to the Palace District under the new topic of Gardens. Please visit there so we can continue. Thanks.)

OOC: guys please, you can't start a conversation in the Senator's apartment. As I edited in ray's last post, this is a highly secure area, people can't just walk to and fro as they please. Padme is now on Naboo for her apartment is now out of access until she returns.

Due to forum changes, all of the events surrounding Padmé Amidala are now not valid, so just continue as normal from here. The first post on the introduction of this thread is now updated in relevance of the new era we are set, but just continue from this point and with speaking with Pooja Naberrie

Her profile is here if you wish to look at her history and gain an idea of her character.

Ayanna stepped into the great skyscraper. As she did so, 4 guards came to greet her.

"What is your business Miss?"

"Hello, my name is Ayanna Nyx, I was wondering if I could have a word with Senator Naberrie...."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"..... No, I'm afraid I don't, I wasn't told at the Senate that I needed one, just that I needed her address....."

The guard immediately assumed she was someone in training.

"Hold on one moment....."

He walked away and appeared to be registering to someone. He quickly returned.

"The Senator has agreed to see you, you may take the elevator up to her apartment"

"Thank you"

Ayanna stepped back into the elevator, the guard quickly pressed a code for her, and she ascended to the highest floor of the building. As she walked out, Pooja Naberrie was already waiting for her with one of her handmaidens.

Ayanna walked up to her, wondering if she would be permitted to stay.

"It's a pleasure to meet you M'Lady" Ayanna spoke as she shook her hand.

"Thank you, I'm glad to meet you, are you a student with the university?"

"No M'Lady, I'm afraid I am not...... I will be honest with you, I came here on a personal matter...."

"Personal?"

"Yes, I was wondering if you knew anything about a Padmé Amidala, I heard she was the Senator of Naboo once herself...."

Pooja said nothing, but looked to her handmaiden who walked off as she did so. Pooja offered her a seat.

"Why are you looking for information on her?"

"It's complicated, it's nothing sinister, I assure you..... It's just, being able to speak with her will give me the opportunity to learn more"

"Well I'm afraid she no longer lives, she died 16 years ago...."

"Oh....." Damn she thought, another dead end.

"I'm sorry to hear that....." She continued.

"Why were you wanting to speak with her?" Pooja asked, intreged.

"I felt she could give me more information about Anakin Skywalker...."

Pooja smiled.

"That's a name I haven't heard in a long time...."

"You knew him?" Ayanna became hopeful.

"Well, barely..... But I do remember him..... He often came to visit us with Padmé...... Padmé was my aunt....."

Ayanna sat forward, now she was interested.

"I heard Padmé and him were friends...."

"Yes, that's true, they were very close. But after Padmé died, I never saw Anakin again either...... He died at the Jedi Temple during the last days of the Old Republic...."

Ayanna felt she had hit yet another wall in her search. Anyone would have stopped the search long ago, but something kept her going, and although it seemed unreasonable, irrational and maybe insane, she felt everyone was wrong that Anakin had died all those years ago.

"You said he and Padmé were friends, isn't it unusual that he would visit your family?"

Pooja seemed surprised.

"Well I don't think it is so unusual. They had always been close since Anakin was only a young boy. Although I will say, there was something unusual about their relationship..... But I was only a young girl when I knew them, and too young to understand anything further about them than merely her being my aunt and he, a friend of the family...... Do you mind if I ask you why you search for him? It is unusual itself"

Ayanna had to be careful.

"I gained some information about him, this is more an exploration of history really..... Nothing more..."

Pooja knew this girl was hiding something. Would she have gone so far to interupt a Senator to gain a history lesson? But what else could she do but accept what she had said.

"Alright, well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to end our little meeting, I have much work to attend to...." Pooja did not wait for more words to be said, instead she turned and left to the back of the apartment.

Ayanna felt something was wrong, and she knew her secracy had caught her out, but all she could do now, was continue her search. But now.... Her search had drawn cold.....

Crado arrived in the Senatorial District, and got out near Senator Naberrie's apartment. Crado walked into the enormous building, and was, as expected, greeted by four of the guards.

"Do you have business here, sir?"

"Yes. I need to speak with Senator Naberrie. I am a political student from the University of Coruscant, and I am need of her assistance."

From further in the apartment, a young woman slowly walked over, it was Pooja Naberrie herself.

"Ah, another student.... You are always welcome here.... I'm not sure how much experience you have in politics but I hope I can help lead your way.... Please, sit" She showed him to a seat on one of the sofas as she sat on the one parallel. The guards still remained in the room with the for precaution.

"Now tell me, what are your aims..... What do you hope to achieve in politics?" She said with a pleasant smile on her face.

Crado took a seat in the sofa, and s.

"My name is Crado Frond." He said pleasantly, "I entered the path of politics so that I may help the good people with their troubles. just as my father did. I know that I will not be able to get rid of all of the problems that plague Coruscant, but I want to make sure these people live as peaceful lives as possible. I may be relatively new to Coruscant, but I am prepared to do all I can."

"That's good to hear, well, if you ever need my help, you know where to find me..... I can introduce you around once you have become more educated...... If you are interested, I have a small job for you..... It's not much but you don't have to accept..." She smiled a little.

"I'm in need of an assistant.... Someone who can help me in the daily ins and outs of my work...... It doesn't require much but you can attend the Senate hearings with me, go to public events and so forth.... And in that you will see what the proceedings are in being a Senator......"

She waited to hear his response.

"That would be excellent, Senator. I would be honored to help you." Crado blurted out. Crado spoke so quickly and excitedly, it seemed like he began speaking the very moment she had finished.

"I am sorry, ma'am. It would truly to be my honor." Crado said once he had regained his composure. "When will I be able to start.?"

"Straight away if you wish.... I have two tasks, you can choose either..... One, you can go to Naboo and meet with Queen Kylantha on my behalf, she is wishing to discuss some matters concerning the monary rule there...... Second option is to..... Em.... Take a visit to Grand Moff Tarkin himself..... He also wanted an audience with me, but I am.... Unable to attend..... If no one goes in my place for either oocassion, it could have serious effects, but I am needed elsewhere..... So the choice is yours....."

Crado thought for a short while before reaching a decision. He closed his eyes, and went into deep thought. Minutes later, Crado opened his eyes, folded his hands, and spoke slowly. "I will go to Naboo, and I will meet with Queen Kylantha on your behalf." He paused for a second. "You see, Senator, there is one small problem. I have no forms of transportation of my own to get to Naboo, and I am certain that I will not be allowed to meet with the Queen of Naboo without some proof of my affiliation with you."
