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).]

[Hopefully!]
Thank you, Data. That must have been rough. [Being in the middle of That.]
no subject
I suppose it was better than it was me than anyone else. I do not experience awkwardness.
[Now that's one of those ones that, just from observing him at every trial up until now, just seems sort of patently untrue? Anyway forget that he'll just go grab you some crab legs or something lol]
no subject
I imagine even so being between those two would have been, ah, eventful today.
[Mm crab legs.]

[he has such low standards, fam...]

[She would have stabbed Alice, though.]

...so. Your child is a serial killer?

[Data assumes that this is a whole different universal schema and probably has no relation to his Earth, but nonetheless.]
I am not sure I understand. She is a spirit?
no subject
[Fate is illogical. It's okay. She nods.]
Summoned for a special occasion. I didn't summon her but we ended up together and she adopted me.
no subject
[That clears some things up, but frankly everything else you just said has severely muddied the waters.]
no subject
[Look. Look...]
no subject
[Or. Did? They're mostly dead. ANYWAY]

[cool story bro]

I'm sorry to hear that, Data.

Or maybe she doesn't? Data is very unclear on this point, and indeed most other points.]
I hope that you are able to return to her.
no subject
What do you mean this is a bad thing]
I think I won't be able to. [Oh. Right. That. Hah...]
