(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.]

[ Chloe grits her teeth. ]

‘Cause some people are so fucking heartless they don’t count as people anymore. ‘Cause he doesn’t see the rest of us as that.
onlyyoucan: Trying to keep it together. (just turn it off)

I don't know how that can even happen to a person, but it does. Even to people who used to be anything but.
hellahighwater: (it's not the same since he left anyway)

[ ... ]

In my experience they're always fuckers. They just were good at hiding it before.
onlyyoucan: Attacked, pinned against a fence. (guess i'll die)

[She winces and looks like she's about to protest, but falls silent instead.]

...There must be people like that, too. I know that much.
hellahighwater: (our minds are troubled by the emptiness)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-16 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This isn't...going anywhere good. Is it? ]

...Can I, like... Can I get you anything? Help?
onlyyoucan: Moment of vulnerability. (nobody likes me everybody hates me)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-16 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...Sorry. It's my problem. I don't want to dig up yours and hurt you on top of it.
hellahighwater: (keep it tight so no one will stray)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-16 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but...

I dunno. Shit. Something.
onlyyoucan: Flinching as the cockpit is jarred. (ow)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-16 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...Why are you all so friendly? I mean, some definitely aren't, but most of the people here seem like they really just want everyone to survive.
hellahighwater: (don't sink‚ just swim towards the storm)

cw: suicidal implications

[ Chloe runs her hand over her head, and it's so forceful that she almost drags the beanie off. ]

'Cause some of us've been through a fucking nightmare and if I put any more of that back into the world I'll wanna throw myself off this boat so hard the Kraken can't put me back on it, okay? I'm a bitter, angry bitch, Sara, but you can only be that for so long before it gets too fucking toxic to breathe.
onlyyoucan: Depressed and overwhelmed. (oh no oh no no no no)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-16 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sara shudders without meaning to. She slowly takes this in and nods.]

...None of you deserve any of this.
hellahighwater: break this curse (🔫 don't know how i'll ever)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-16 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd like to think none of us deserve this.

[ you better fucking be including yourself, sara ]
onlyyoucan: Resigned slump. (nothing to do but sulk)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-16 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I --

[She falls silent and studies her food, not that she actually seems to be perceiving any of it.]
hellahighwater: (staring at a light needless to say)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-16 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Chloe gives her a pretty fixed look. ]

Alright, alright. I ain't going anywhere 'til you have a bite of something. Seafood, mediocre Margaritaville meat, a damn croissant, somethin'.

[ I can be a self-destructive bastard, but no one else. ]
onlyyoucan: Wearing a "DEAD" label and fake blood. (what no i'm fine)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-16 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...Okay.

[Another bite of the crab pasta, she guesses. If it'll help.]

It'd be wasteful, anyway.
hellahighwater: at my stupid bedroom (you stand still‚ stare)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-16 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuh-huh, and there's no being wasteful here. ...Unless it inconveniences the Captain.
onlyyoucan: Moment of sadness, covered in water. (seawater?)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-16 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure he wouldn't starve us as revenge?
hellahighwater: (all that i wanted wasn't unwanted)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-16 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure of absolutely nothing.

[ ...that is probably less reassuring than she thinks. ]
onlyyoucan: Reflected in Emily's eye. (not here for your doll phobias)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-16 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think anyone is right now.
