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).]

You really have been here since we returned, huh? Are you going to be able to make it back to your room?
no subject
Sure am. All I have to do is sit here for midnight to strike and I'll be back in my room. No walkin' needed.
[See! He's thought it all out.]
S'like Groundhog Day, but worse, because everyone else remembers shit and nobody comes back to life.
no subject
Hah, that's certainly fair enough!
[Though he does make a face at the second part of that.]
I wonder if it would be easier to just forget everything that happened the week before... Well anyway, hopefully you won't have a hangover when you wake up next!
no subject
[He eyes Yeager for a moment.]
You ever watched Groundhog Day? 'Course you haven't. Listen, if we ever get something that'll let us watch nineties movies, we're gonna watch Groundhog Day.
[It seems like most of the drink is doing the talking at this point, not Constantine.]
no subject
[He gets the general idea by now, so that's close enough!!]
I'll hold you to that, though! I do want to see what a groundhog has to do with this. Or why a groundhog gets its own day.
no subject
[He makes a vague gesture with his hand.]
All a bunch of bullshit for people to stand around in freezing cold for hours just to see what a goddamn rodent has to say about the weather.
no subject
[That one's a joke, right. That's gotta be a joke. No one would actually do that.]
no subject
[guess yeager will find out when they actually go and watch groundhog day!!!]
Shit--we might've already passed February 2nd if this stupid ship didn't keep--keep resetting over and over again.
no subject
I'm guessing that's the date this little... celebration occurs on?
no subject
Sure is. Again--not a goddamn clue why.
