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).]

[ Ah... Chloe stands at the entrance to the bar, nit sure if she should go in or not for a moment. ]

Not really sure what he’d want us to celebrate in the first place. [ She enters. Screw it. She doesn’t go right for the booze, though, which surprises her. ]

[Hey Chloe, come on in. It's not like he owns the place. Yeager holds up a hand in greeting.]

No? What do you think, then?

[It's not pointed, just curious.]

[ Honestly? Chloe shrugs. ]

You ask me that like I'm good with mourning either. I'm not. I'm just...used to it.

...Do you want to talk about it?

[That probably isn't the right sentiment here, but honestly, he doesn't know what the right sentiment is. Chloe's been through a lot - and from his limited knowledge of it, it sounds like something no one else can ever really fully relate to.]

[ She snorts and waves a hand. ]

Ughhh, no. This isn't about me. Not today. [ ... ] I, uh... I hear talking about people you miss is supposed to help, the whole process, though? I didn't talk to Sylvando much, but...he was a good dude. Fun. Really optimistic.

[He raises an eyebrow at that, but doesn't comment on it.]

He was, ja. It's not often you meet someone so... genuinely cheerful and kind. Honestly, I thought it was all an act at first.

[And if he's perfectly honest with himself, he's not even sure when he realized it wasn't an act.]
hellahighwater: (our minds are troubled by the emptiness)

[personal profile] hellahighwater 2021-02-23 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...Me too. I couldn't believe someone could be that open and friendly, even at a distance. I think that's why I didn't talk to him.

[ And...we have seen how that worked out, haven't we? ]

You weren't wrong to keep yourself guarded. People like that usually aren't genuine.

[But in this one rare instance...]

But, from what everyone's said...he was, sounds like.

He was, yes. He... really did want to help everyone. He made that his goal back home as well; even when the world was at its worst, he tried to cheer people up with his merry band of followers.
