Every year, the galaxy comes together to celebrate something known as Life Day. A day of forgiveness, acceptance, joy, and, most importantly, compassion and love. What began as a Wookiee holiday had evolved into an event enjoyed by almost everyone, young and old alike.
The Jedi were no different.
While it was obvious that the Jedi Order lacked the funds for a large, extravagant event, that didn't stop a group of Jedi from banding together and organizing their own Life Day celebration. What began as a small surprise for only a handful of Padawans quickly became a difficult event to keep quiet. With everyone donating their own bit of money or decoration, and with some outside help, the group of Padawans (including the mysterious Kaarlo), Knights, and Masters managed to set up a beautiful Dining Hall, as well as an enormous Life Day tree with plenty of presents.
When the grand doors finally opened to reveal the Life Day tree and Dining hall to the rest of the Jedi, those who had managed to avoid the rumors and whispers filled the air with surprised "Oohhss" and "Aahhhss."
Life Day finally had begun, and the Jedi were free to go wherever they'd liked.
The Dining Hall:
The kitchen tied to the cafeteria was buzzing, with several Jedi and chefs running around in an organized panic. Warm, savory and hearty smells began to dance through the kitchen windows and escaped into the dining hall, blending with the already comforting scent of wintery spices.
Several Jedi who had helped with organizing the event were already in the Dining Hall itself, helping out whoever had questions or needed support.
The Life Day tree:
Small boxes wrapped in paper and ribbon, each with a tiny nameplate, lay beneath the tree. Those with a keen eye couldn't miss the names of many Padawans on the boxes, which quickly fueled the younger Jedi's bubbly excitement. Would there be a gift for them as well? Two Jedi Knights were kneeling on the ground next to the gifts, watching over them until the time was right.
While the tree and gifts were clearly intended for the Padawans, it was such a joy that most couldn't help but take a look.
