Others have been mentioning dates of birth and so I was wondering: what do your people do in order to celebrate the day someone is born, or named, or comes into their own?

Also, how do your people celebrate the lives that have ended?

It has to mean something.

I'm sorry I realize this probably sounds very callous but. We haven't lead easy lives; I don't think any of us expected to live long. A civil war and I, at least, was on the wrong side of power.

I wouldn't mind doing something similar. I find myself at a bit of a loss, honestly.

[yokunaru]

I don’t think it’s callous. [Yuuri says quietly. It’s always hard whenever he’s reminded of the lives that Cassian and Jyn had to endure, especially now that he thinks of them as friends.]

I’ll tell you what we do for the Bon festival and you can decide if it’s something you want to do.

[ouzel]

[ It means more than Cassian would like to admit, but part of that is not being sure when he started caring again what other people thought of him in the first place.

Probably around when he started caring about other people in general. ]

Sounds like a plan.

[yokunaru]

[He takes a moment to consider the traditions that could translate well onto the ship.]

The spirits are supposed to visit during the Bon festival--that's the important part. We hang up lanterns to guide them while they're in the physical world. On the last night, we send them back with a fire ceremony or with floating paper lanterns--one lantern for each spirit.

[ouzel]

Hmm. [ He wishes, now, that he knew more about Jedhan customs regarding the dead. Maybe Chirrut would arrive and he'd be able to ask.

Eventually. ]

I like that.

[yokunaru]

Oh. [He sounds relieved.]

If that's something you want to do...I don't know if we'll be able to find floating lanterns on board, but we can make do with what we have.
