(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.]
cethflayn: (gracious no...)

Parker playing with paper!

[Flayn wants to cry for Parker. He's without his girl. And it's for reasons totally out of his control.]

...

[She just. Sits next to Data, looking forlorn at the Vaporeon.]

Do you think he will be alright?

I do not know. I can care for him, but the trauma of losing his caretaker is another matter entirely.
cethflayn: (this is somewhat tense)

[personal profile] cethflayn 2021-02-14 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
...I do not know how to help his kind manage trauma.

[Humans are...a little easier to understand. Flayn has known how they emote and act and think (and her own thoughts and actions are pretty much identical) all her life. A Pokemon, though? It's totally different.]

My heart aches for him. Surely he understands something has changed, and yet...
ltcommandroid: (domo arigato)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-14 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yet he most likely does not understand.

[Data says, in agreement.]

I suppose all we can do for now is keep him safe and well. Perhaps when this is over, I can find family or friends of Adeline's to look after him.
cethflayn: (what is it now?)

[personal profile] cethflayn 2021-02-14 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
She did also say she had more creatures...not exactly like him, but similar. And he came out of the machine with our belongings in them.

[Data, what are they going to do with the other Pokemon?]
ltcommandroid: (mata au hima de)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-14 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
...how many more?

[oh dear]
cethflayn: (gracious no...)

[personal profile] cethflayn 2021-02-14 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I do not think she specified a number.

[Five at most, because Pokemon.]

They come in those spheres, yes? We should be on the lookout for them.
ltcommandroid: (I am the modren man)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-14 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, we should.

[.....]

It might be best for them, emotionally, to be kept together. But I may not be able to care for a great many alone. [Like, he only has so much space, and Constantine doesn't even totally know that they have a Vaporeon living in their room now]
cethflayn: (we must be careful)

[personal profile] cethflayn 2021-02-14 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
If I am able, and if her creatures accept, I shall assist. Miss Adeline was always so kind to me, and she taught me about many things...this would be the least I could do.
ltcommandroid: (mr. roboto)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-14 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. That would be most helpful.
cethflayn: (oh i do not know)

[personal profile] cethflayn 2021-02-14 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
You are welcome.

[She's quiet for a little while.]

...I am also sorry...I could not help in the fight. Without access to my magic, I am not very strong.

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-14 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
That is alright. There were more than enough of us there to manage it - you did not have to put yourself at risk.
cethflayn: (A bit disappointing...)

[personal profile] cethflayn 2021-02-14 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She appreciates that she didn't have to take the risk, really she does.]

I am not under the illusion that death will not happen again, but. Do you think another fight could happen in that room?

[Data what if eventually everyone who can do a fight is dead and it's just Flayn, Lorna, and Filbo freaking out while someone else goes on a rampage in the courtroom]
ltcommandroid: (Default)

[personal profile] ltcommandroid 2021-02-14 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I believe it is possible. Anyone willing to commit murder has already demonstrated a willingness to see the rest of us dead. If backed into a corner, they could lash out.
cethflayn: (what is that?)

[personal profile] cethflayn 2021-02-14 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She can think of a certain binch who would totally lash out, but Flayn is a good woman who follows the doctrine of Seiros and tries not to say things like that.]

Ought we all try to be prepared, then? Just in case of something. I would not want those of us who cannot fight back to come to harm if I could help it in any way.

[She really has Lorna and Filbo in mind, mainly.]
