it is a funeral.
[Well. That was certainly something.
Emotions are clearly high, so for once, Data steps out of his helper role and takes on the brunt of organizing the after-trial gathering. He's seen enough of them by now to know what's what. He's also seen more than enough in this particular trial to decide that the bar, while possibly being the most logical location, may be distressing to some! So instead, we're gonna do something different. Data will deliver invitations, that sort of look like a computer printed them, to each of the rooms:]
Please come to the ice cream parlor if you would like company at this time.
- Data
[Everybody likes ice cream!
There are no decorations, but there are some snack selections from the buffet and the cafe, depending on what you want, and a tray or two of mixed drinks courtesy of Jimmy Buffett. Data and Parker are both here. If you're sad, you may pet Parker (probably). If you're too depressed to make your own fancy sundae, Data will do it for you (definitely).]

Not exactly.

[shit sucks]
It was a stupid question of me to ask.
no subject
No.. I normally don't let these things get to me. It's just unfortunate. Today felt different.
no subject
[That much was abundantly clear, Zero sighing and pressing a hand to his face.]
I'm sorry. You and Alice seemed...perhaps not 'close', but something similar?
no subject
[She glances at her own arm.]
I should have known better.
no subject
As much as Alice and Decus were...themselves, I recognize that sort of commitment to another person. The same goes for Plumeria and Freyja. Something like that can't be stopped, no matter what anyone tries to do.
no subject
[She's not anywhere, probably. It... hurts.]
I thought she'd at least recognize the futility but when there's a miracle in your grasp it's hard to stop yourself.
no subject
[Said the 'Miracle Worker', staring out at the ocean.]
No matter how futile the effort or how small the chance of success, one would never forgive themselves if they didn't try.
no subject
[She lets out a sigh.]
Even if that miracle is something as simple as wanting to see the next sunrise, you do what you can.
