(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.]

Even someone like him has to have a reason beyond just wanting to see people suffer. Everything he put into this? Taking us from all different dimensions with what he calls unlimited power?

[Plumeria shrugs at that, honestly.]

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.

...we'll find out. He might only be letting small things out to taunt us because we can't do anything about them, but he can't judge right forever.

...Yes. He's bound to let something out of his big, stupid mouth that he doesn't intend to eventually, and we can find a way to use it against him.

[That's Plumeria's hope, at least.]

For now, though...we have to focus on staying alive.
onlyyoucan: Reeling from shock. (please leave a message after the tone)

Because we'll be useless dead. And because we have things we need to accomplish back where we came from. If we still can.

[...On one hand, she absolutely wants to say exactly, because that is the truth. But...]

...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.
onlyyoucan: Gritting her teeth and yelling. (listen already)

Easy to say in theory, but it feels useless not working to give him what's coming.
