(too late) you're at the party
[Well, it's safe to say that trial fucking sucked. Therefore, some sort of afterparty is in order. Constantine is admittedly not good at throwing parties without some sort of liquor or other drug involved, but that's where Data and Sylvando guide him.
First order of business--invites. Upon returning to your rooms, crumpled pieces of paper have been taped to the doors. Written in poor handwriting is the following:]
meet at the lounge
bring whatever you want
[Simple, but effective. The lounge itself has been livened up a bit with Sylvando's help. Some nicely patterned fabric has been draped around on the tables to liven up the place a little, and snacks from the café and vending machines have been placed out for people to peruse.
A few supplies from the first aid room have been gathered, as well, for those who may need it. But perhaps the help is unnecessary, as tomorrow will likely bring another New Years Eve. And with it, another week of despair and frustration.
But for now, they can forget about that and pretend that all that matters is the present.]

Sylvando's expression falls immediately, and he crosses his arms.]
I'm not going to do something depressing like that! This recorder only plays uplifting music!
[Because he said so.]
no subject
Too depressing. Is that right?
I mean, some might use that word to describe a murder and the subsequent ritual offering of one of our own to a bootleg psychopomp, but that's none of my business.
no subject
Honey, I think you know that I do too. I just...can't bear the thought that one day I'd use my recorder for a tradition of mourning. It's supposed to bring smiles, not tears.
no subject
... hold on, have you never heard a recorder before?
no subject
With the most serious look on his face, he raises the recorder to his lips and plays a jolly little tune on it. It actually sounds really good!]
no subject
Okay, okay! You've proven your point, stop showing off.
[ or what, exactly, 3'9" duck? or what? ]
