Location: Dining Hall, Jedi Enclave, Yutan (Evening)

Arisa had been away from Republic space on a mission, only to return to Yutan to learn about the fiasco that occurred between Jedi at a recent Conclave called by one of the new members of the Yutani Enclave. Yet again, the Jedi had been unable to rose above their differences for the greater good.

It was disheartening for her to see the Jedi in such a fragmented state, letting people suffer as they bickered. She was only a Padawan, but the seasoned commander thought she'd try her hand at bringing the Jedi and other Force Sensitives of the Republic together for another gathering.

Instead of calling for another Conclave, though, she decided to go for a more informal setup of a banquet. She recognized the need for a rapport to be built between the various personalities of the Enclave before they could come together to fight effectively. Some fellowship over food was never a bad thing.

With volunteers from the Enclave, Force Academy, and local garrison, she baked enough pizza for an army. There were pre-made offerings, and the option to have a personal pizza made for order. Some other simple entrees were offered as alternatives, and there was a bevy of tasty sides and treats to go with it all.

Arisa moved about the dining hall, greeting people as she worked with the other volunteers to serve them. In khaki shorts and a navy tank top, she looked more like one of the Academy students rather than a Jedi in her street clothes. She aimed to be comfortable around the heat of the ovens and the muggy jungle air.

The collective mood of the Enclave and Academy has been tense since the recent terrorist attacks on Yutan, but she began to feel some of that tension subside as everyone was given a chance to unwind. It wasn't much what she did, but if she could offer everyone a small bit of solace from their pain and fears between fighting, then that would be something.

"In-house pizzas - pizzas are one of those things that don't last very long and must be eaten fresh; Yutan didn't have a Pizza Hutt yet, while Hosnian Prime did" Klesta commented.

The Jawa knew that he may well be the only Senator present at the banquet. At the same time he needed to mend the relationship between the Jedi Order and the Senate. For far too long the Senate has been accused of being inactive in solving the Republic's problems: Klesta had to be active. And, although he had a lightsaber, he couldn't use it, as a person he wasn't too comfortable being around so many Jedi at once.

"I'm Klesta, Senator of Hosnian Prime and I am one of the Senate representatives to this banquet"

What was it that he had everybody in the Galactic Republic call him?

Master Bishop.

He had been Bishop to so many. He had even met one who was known as Preacher, an amusing meeting to say the least. But the Jedi Master had thought it best to answer the call to help the Galactic Republic. It was collapsing and for that reason alone, he had finally deemed it necessary to come to its aid.

Jedi from his own time were long gone, whether dead, missing or simply fighting underneath a different banner in the Galactic Alliance's New Jedi Order.

He could understand that.The Jedi had separated many times in the past.

But a pizza party?

What the kark was going on here?

The only thought that went through his mind as his armoured dome swung from side to side in the entrance to the Dining Hall.

[SIZE=10.5pt]The Padawan had missed the memo, he walked into the dining hall after spending most of the afternoon practicing his unarmed combat, planning on getting a quick meal then heading back to his quarters for some study. However the sight that met his eyes caused the Padawan to stand, stunned. Apparently someone else hadn't received the memo and was also standing in the doorway, thoughts flooded him[/SIZE] a party? Why? I didn't even know there were this many Jedi around.

[SIZE=10.5pt]Returning to reality when hearing a cough behind him he darted inside, allowing the person behind him access to the party. Thoughts returned to run through his head faster than a raging Wampa: What's going to happen, is this a special occasion, did we need invites or... [/SIZE]

Sheila was there prepared for anything they could be working with while she was standing in her little alcove prepared to work with any of the things they had... this though was not a combat scenario while she got her own drink and some food. Set out so she could eat and listen to the others that were there speaking. "Well this should b interesting." She wasn't exactly certain but she wanted to have some sort of fun that could be seen as relaxing before she stayed with some of the things. Looking out at the others who had joined them while she smiled with a small wave of her hand to greet the new people.

Jacen found everything about the order he loved to be a bit....chaotic. He had arrived after a "force calling" only to arrive to some ritual to make some lavish temple. After seeing the proposed design and disagreeing, he left to go to the temple he grew up in to see if anything was left in it. To be clear, it wasn't that Jacen was a prude and could not find beauty in a well made building, but to bring everyone together to channel the Force together to make a temple made of gold and silver seemed more like something a Sith would care about. Though, not fully true unless the gold and silver came in black and red.

Upon entering the temple he was created by a warming smell of food. Jacen didn't like to admit it, but food was his vice. Being a Valkyri and being his size meant his body was burning calories faster than he could eat which left him always hungry. He followed the smell until he found a room with a few Jedi and pizza. According to the sign this was a pizza party for all Jedi and thus, Jacen could not resist.

He didn't forgo his manners and did bow to the room and greet everyone before he dived in with no words said, only a hunger needing filled.

[Klesta]

Because Jawas were diminutive in size, given that the Jedi Council bought several large pizzas, one slice or two would sate them. Klesta sought to eat one flavor and one flavor only, knowing that he would eat only one slice, it was a crucial decision to make for him. Although he was one of the Council's guests of honor, he'd rather eat a pizza that he never ate before. He saw a massive mess of Jedi in a pizza party, most of which he never even saw because they never set foot in the Senate complex or on Hosnian Prime. Among the wide array of pizzas, with the typical Jawa keen smell, he knows how each will taste before he even ate a bite of it. And hopefully none of these Jedi will have worn Utinni #1 - that would spell disaster for him if one of these Jedi was wearing Utinni #1, after all he heard about that perfume on the HoloNet - a joy to have for a non-Jawa so long as it used away from Jawas. And its creator was a Republican that was to become one of its mascots (alongside [member="Reshmar"], [member="Caius Flavian"])...

"Now, to fetch those utensils: a fork, a knife, a napkin. Would you please tell me where are the utensils, sir?"
