"Hi! You're watching, 'Question Corner' and I'm your host, Kale." I say wearing a warm black coat and an orange scarf with dark blue, jeans, "I want to start off with me thanking everyone for such an amazing Thanksgiving. I've never had so much food and fun in my life. So because of everyone's amazing love, I've brought on Dogma." the crowd goes wild as Dogma in blue tinted armor approaches the stage. When we make it face to face, we shake hands automatically.
His grip is strong, and he even holds me there a few seconds longer while he pulls the biggest smile he can muster. It was terrifying to see him forcing such a smile, while trying not to make eye-contact with the crowd, but in the end I merely noted it as cute. Clearly, I can't look at any of these guys without designating them either cute or adorable.
Dogma's shoulders are tense and he keeps his eyes on me and only me. It's more Republic protocal than Hollywood shyness like Kix. The poor man, he's worried no one will like him.
I gesture him towards the chair and so he sits down before placing his helmet off to the side. When I sit I say, "Thank you so much, Dogma, for coming on our show tonight. We're a pretty hectic crowd, so by now it takes guts of steal to step on this stage." the audience chuckles.
Dogma replies, "I'm happy to be here, Miss Kale." but he doesn't take his eyes off of me, nor does his posture relax. So instead, I just keep my posture as straight as his.
I soon said, "May I ask, before we begin, did you always feel implied to follow orders? Or did something happen that made you feel like you could trust the Jedi through and through."
"Well, Kaminoans tell us from the day we're out of my growth jar that we follow orders without question. By the way they talk, they practically teach us that the Jedi are gods and thus we will follow commands without issue." He sighed, "So, I trusted everything they told us, from the Kaminoans to the Jedi, and it's why I'm called Dogma. It means, 'Follows easily.' I was proud of that name until after that low-life scum destroyed everything I held to honor."
"And what are you holding to honor now?"
"My brothers," he answered firmly, "They are the ones that come first from now on."
I smile and say, "I was hoping you'd say something like that," and I turned to our first question, "From, AngelAnimexinf, 'Do you regret some of the decisions you made while on Umbara?
"Everyone of them, From listening to Krell, to almost executing Fives and Jesse, but I don't regret killing that Besalisk-weed."
I begin to turn to another card as I comment, "I don't think anyone does. From, ShadowMaster77, 'Theoretically speaking, what do you think would've happened if Krell got away with being a traitor?"
Dogma takes in a hitched breath and shakes his head, "I can't even imagine what he could of done to the Republic if he got loose and made it back to the Seppies. I'm not sure if the Republic could of survived that kind of loss of intel."
"Well, I'm glad he's dead," I state flatly, "He is just another life form the universe can live without."
"I concur."
I then say, "Our next question is from, 'spikala, 'On Umbara, it looked like Tup and you were friends. When did you first meet up?".
"On Kamino." He answered, plainly.
I press my lips together before looking at another card, "From, JediChick101, 'You obviously have an unflinchingly loyal towards your leaders, but when so many of your brothers died, did you begin to doubt Krell's leadership?"
"As I said before, the Kaminoans were severe in telling us not to question orders, and I never had anyone else there telling me otherwise. Umbara was my first mission with a Jedi in charge and thus I had nothing to compare him too. Even General Skywalker was there only for a little while."
I nodded and was about ready to continue onto the next question when I saw, and read, from the bottom of the card, "JediChick101 also says, 'P.S. You killed Krell, rock on!"
Dogma instantly laughs and, to my surprise, he actually begins to relax a little. With a smile playing upon my lips, I say, "You said it, JediChick101. Now, from, spikala, 'What happened to you after Umbara? Court-martial? Transfer? Scheduled for (gulp) execution?"
Dogma and I both laugh together at the latter statement. He comments, "Yeah, I don't think I've been executed..." and I added, "But, let's check. Just in case." I check the pulse from his wrist and everyone chuckles while Dogma and I have huge grins on our faces. "Okay, okay. All joking aside," I begin, releasing Dogma's wrist, "what happened to you?"
"I was court-martialed and am lucky for the outcome; because Captain Rex vouched for me. I was allowed to be released and I owe the captain my life for it."
"Well, Dogma, let me just say, I am pleased everything's turned out well for you." I patted his knee to give assurance and afterwards notice just how much any hardness between his posture and me loosened.
His says, smiling, "Thank you, Miss Kale."
"From, ShadowMaster77, 'If someone were to punch you what would be your reaction?"
"That depends..."
"What do you mean? Like if a Jedi punched you?"
"No, I mean like Jesse. He'll never admit it, but he came up to me after the court-martial, when we were alone, and socked me right in the nose. Then he smiled and said, 'All is forgiven' and we laughed it off once I visited the medical droid."
I cringed, "That sounds painful."
"Ah, it gives a good story to tell everyone now and then." He laughs, "And Jesse and I are still great friends, so it was all worth it."
Shaking my head, I smile to myself, "Whatever it takes, right?"
"Right."
I look at another card, "From, weathergirl17248, 'How did your brothers react to you after you had supported (EVIL!) Pong Krell, after he was dead? Did they welcome you back, or were they wary of you?"
Dogma gave a big smile and replied, "They welcomed me back after my court-martial. Even though I had decided that after that incident with Pong Krell that my brothers would always come first, just seeing them still consider me their brother made that decision a lot stronger."
"Then this is the perfect time to ask, from, dogmatup23, 'Dogma do love you're brothers?"
"Every last one of them," he answered proudly, "They are all I have. Jedi can come and go, but brotheres stay when you most need them."
"dogmatup23 also says, 'What ever you do don't turn out like Slick. I will hate to see you like that."
"Thank you, dogmatup23."
I turn to the camera and add, "What he doesn't tell you is that he also loves your name as well, dogmatup23." Dogma and everyone in the audience begins to laugh and so I raise my hands and say, "I'm just telling them what you're thinking is all. That's kind of like my job in a way."
Shaking his head, I turn to another question, "From, Celtice and Dukakis 2016, 'Who's winning the war at the moment?"
"I'm pleased to say the Republic."
"And I'm pleased to hear it. Lastly, from, NobelMeta, 'Do you feel bad about pointing a blaster at youre brothers during the Krell betrayal incident?"
"What I did to them, I don't think I can ever recover from, which is why I'm lucky Fives and Jesse forgave me for it. Jesse, a little harder than Fives, though." He rubbed his nose at the memory and everyone chuckled.
"Okay," I clasp my hands together, "We're on a good note to bring in our favorite comedian, 2-2-7."
The crowd cheers as the curtains rise and there stands 2-2-7 smiling wildly back at them. He announces into the microphone, "You should know, due to a recent performance, I am giving out autographs 6:00 pm tonight, and yes pictures are included." everyone laughs as he begins, "Alright, let's give out the jokes!
During the French Revolution, three men were condemned to the guillotine.
One was a preacher, one was a doctor, and the third was an engineer. When the preacher approached the deadly machine, he requested to be beheaded while lying on his back so that he could die while looking into Heaven.
The doctor and the engineer thought that to be a good idea and requested the same. As the knife plunged down the track toward the preacher, it suddenly jammed just short of the man's neck. The executioner declared it an Act of God and let the man go. Then, the doctor then laid down and as the knife again plunged down the toward the doctor, it too stopped right at his neck. The executioner declared it was an Act of God and let the doctor go.
As the engineer walks up, the executioner asks, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah, but you should really fix that knot in the rope."
The crowd chuckles and so 2-2-7 continues,
"a man walks into his friend's office and see's his friend, John whooping and hollering.
"What's the matter, John?" The man inquired.
"Nothing at all, boss. I just done finished a jigsaw puzzle in record
time!" John beamed.
"How long did it take you?"
"Well, the box said '3 to 5 Years' but I did it in a month!"
The crowd laughs harder and thus he tells his last joke,
"A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always
had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. So, when he finished his drink,
he found his horse had been stolen.
He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head and
fired a shot into the ceiling. "Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.
No one answered. "Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the
time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The cowboy, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post. He saddled up and started to ride out of town when the bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."
Everyone laughed and 2-2-7 waved goodbye as the curtains descended to the ground. Dogma and I stood laughing and shook hands before he left, waving goodbye.
I wave at him as he leaves and then look at the camera saying, "Thank you, everyone, for watching another, 'Question Corner' interview. Next week will be Jesse and remember no M-rated questions.
"But, before we go, I'd like to thank, Comrade, TripleThreat123, weathergirl17248, Dovahkiin154, Dogma23, Rexsgirl123, purplewillowtrees, NobelMeta, Kickincupcakebutts6, Guest, glabierules, Ahsokatano191, JediChick101, Shadowmaster77, Celtice and Dukakis 2016, AaylaKit, Bookreaderninja, Yaya The Elf, AaylaKitofNiflheim, Dogmatup23, Spikala, Shadowclanwarrior, Snip1212, Captainrexbest35, Rex133668, monsterhuntergod-Ratholas Mkl, Gamergirl052, Nat13cat, AaylaKit, Avalonyx, AL0LT0, just another fanfic author, Angel's anthem, Anakin Ahsoka, Azalea, Rose, Tessika 14, Queen, Thearistacats, Skywalker02, Onryo, KitFisto'sGirl, Alex Tsukino, lady gaga, lefty blondy, Ahsoka33, and TCTrent45!"
