(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.]

She didn't even want this. And Adeline must have been trying not to fight back lethally. Even if we all got along, all this would keep on happening, and we don't. Can't.

That's just the unfortunate reality of our situation. No matter what we do, it's just going to keep happening--be it the Captain prodding us, or our own problems rearing their ugly heads at us, it's going to happen.
[She doesn't sound pleased to say that much, but it's a very blunt, harsh reality.]
...It's probably good if we just start accepting that much, and making due with the time we do have to try and bring the dastard low.
[The Captain, she means.]

[A deep, simmering fury coats Plumeria's words before she forces it down.]
...That's really all we can do. Nothing else is bound to work.

...We have to deal with him. No matter what, what he does can't keep standing like this.
no subject
We just need to keep our wits about us, and keep our eyes peeled. He'll reap what he's sown eventually.

[you asked exactly the wrong person about this, sara]
And if their pleasure is hurting others, well, what do they care? They're getting what they want out of it.

Your guess is as good as mine, unfortunately. Maybe there is some sort of deeper thing that he wants out of this, but I wouldn't have the faintest clue of what it could be.

[That's Plumeria's hope, at least.]
For now, though...we have to focus on staying alive.

...A rather morbid way of putting it, but yes. We all have things we need to do.
But we need to be careful not to burn ourselves at both ends while we're here so we can do them.
