(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.]

Hello. How are you feeling?

[Like obviously not great, but...you gotta start somewhere, right]
hellahighwater: (oh and i wonder why i'm not wanted)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-14 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow he doesn't waste time, huh. ]

Uhh. Kind of fucked up but that's normal. You?
ltcommandroid: (domo arigato)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-14 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
The same as ever.

[Which is to say, N/A.

(He feels bad, is the real answer.)]


It seems that I will be taking care of Parker, now.
hellahighwater: (you‚ you know damn well)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-14 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Parker...? Oh. Oh, Adeline's, uh... [ Chloe looks at the aquatic...thing... She kind of worries it'll bite her. ] ...Jeez, that sucks. I mean— ...do you want to take care of Parker?
ltcommandroid: (I've been hiding)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-14 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, I am happy to do so. I am familiar with taking care of animals, if not this species in particular.
hellahighwater: (washed out face)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-15 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Long as we’re not like...pushing pet fatherhood onto you or something.

[ Like... ]

Wouldn't wanna do that. Like, uhhh. Like our...pictures we can’t remember...
ltcommandroid: (under my skin)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-16 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh - have you remembered taking that photograph now?
hellahighwater: (you‚ you know damn well)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-16 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes- well. I didn't take it, she did, but. Yes. I remember the...act of it being taken.

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-16 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you want it back now?
hellahighwater: that you left (shadows settle on the place)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-16 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

Yes. Please, I'd... I'd really, really like it back.
ltcommandroid: (acting strangely)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-17 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. It is in my room.

[He'll stand to go and get it, since it seems important!]
hellahighwater: (you‚ you know damn well)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-17 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ With tones of relief: ] Yeah. Awesome, okay. I'll, stay here and watch Parker, and...

[ Parker gives her an Unimpressed Look. ]

...Actually, you know? Maybe I'll just go with you.

[ Chloe wonders if this water dog/cat/fox will kill her. ]

If you like.

[TO ROOM FOUR! You know, right by the site of the recent homicide! Not that this seems to affect Data at all. You can tell which side of the room is his pretty easily, it's extremely neat and clearly no one has slept in the bed for a while.]

I have not spent a great deal of time here recently. It is more Constantine's room than mine.
hellahighwater: you're the lucky ones (and if you're still breathing)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-17 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
...Why's that? You don't need like...a private place, to just chill?
ltcommandroid: (mr. roboto)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-17 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
I do prefer to have that. But it is less important than attempting to keep a nightly watch.

[Not that it helped with the whole Allenby situation...he does not say...]

Here is your photo. [He kept it inside a book so it wouldn't get crunched!]
hellahighwater: (and your tears sting‚ friend)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-17 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
A night watch... Like some kinda security guard.

[ Maybe she's getting at something there. But she sees the photo and her heart beats faster, her throat closes up. Chloe takes it, looking lovingly at the other girl, and then presses it carefully to her chest. ]

Sorry, Max. Never again.
ltcommandroid: (I've got a (secret))

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Well. He's just kinda here for this, huh.]

...I am sure she would not blame you for forgetting.
hellahighwater: (won't sink‚ i swim towards the storm)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ SORRY DATA ]

I know she wouldn't. She'd never do that. [ And still, she sounds...remorseful. ]
ltcommandroid: (mr. roboto)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-17 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Is she your significant other?

[no heteronormativity in space, I decided that just now!]
hellahighwater: reborn‚ reborn (and once again i'll be reborn)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-17 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Slightly bashful, against all odds: ] It's...a little complicated? But...yeah. I...guess you could put it that way.
ltcommandroid: (Default)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-17 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I see. I am sorry that you forgot about her.
hellahighwater: (you‚ you know damn well)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-17 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, if I can get a hit on the fucker who did this... [ A deep breath. ] ...Sorry if I was like, a bitch, or anything. About all that.
ltcommandroid: (mr. roboto)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-18 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
That is alright. I was not offended, and it is more than understandable. I would also like to bring the Captain to justice.

[which is not quite what she said, but like. the sentiment's there? kinda?]
hellahighwater: (the loves that went wrong)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-18 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ data honey.... ]

...You're a good guy. You know?
ltcommandroid: (under my skin)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-18 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[headtilt!]

Thank you for saying so.
