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).]
onlyyoucan: Distressed, reaching out. (nooooooo come baaaaaack)

I almost tried, too. I agreed not to when I talked to Zero, and I trust him, but still... It's like you said. I'm sorry.

...I still hate myself. For not trying.
onlyyoucan: Exasperated under a red alert light. (fuel-efficient is not one of them.)

...He was your only brother in the world. Of course.

["Can you possibly understand what that means to me?"]

For me, it would have saved everyone. The school, my friends... everyone else. And I wouldn't have to... my older brother, I...

["But your brother --

-- oh, he's alive and well."
]


...sorry. For that.

...I'm sorry to hear that.

[Mm.]

It wasn't...entirely my brother, though he was most of it. It was my retainers, and my realm. My own life as well, apparently. It's...complicated.
onlyyoucan: Reflected in Emily's eye. (not here for your doll phobias)

Change one thing, and it changes everything after it. Right?
onlyyoucan: Looking off to the side. (well i can't tell you NOW)

...

[She's back to not talking much, apparently, just studying the ice cream.]

I won't drag you into my business. But I'm sorry. For what happened in your home.

[personal profile] dokkalfheimr 2021-02-22 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm likewise sorry for what happened in yours.
onlyyoucan: Resigned slump. (nothing to do but sulk)

...I should have done better in the first place. But -- thank you.

[Freyja's had a time of it. It's the only thing Sara can really say.]

[...]

I feel that I should have, too.
onlyyoucan: Grateful smile. (emily deserves all nice things)

[personal profile] onlyyoucan 2021-02-25 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like he really cared about you.
