it is a funeral.

[ltcommandroid]

[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).]

[It. It is a little comforting, thanks.]

...Well. I am glad for the vote of confidence.

[She's quiet for a moment.]

I still feel like I was horrible.

[silentscout]

But you got it out of you, right?

[As long as she got those negative feelings out, she has no reason to go back to them.]

[cethflayn]

Maybe...? It is not as if there is any reason to unleash it on others.

[Not anymore.]

[silentscout]

Then it's fine. You said your piece, and you can move on.

[cethflayn]

...Mm. I...suppose I can.

[But moving on means she has to apologize a lot more to really do so.]

I am. Going to try and work harder to find the people who will accept help, like you said.

[silentscout]

[He nods.]

You're someone who's better at helping, not hurting.

[cethflayn]

[She tries real hard, Lalli. She's trying all the time.]

I just hope I can reach those who need it most before something else happens.

[silentscout]

Mmm. I hope so too.

[cethflayn]

[Just gonna. Sit quietly for a bit. She's not sure what else to say, but Lalli seems like the type of person who likes it when people are quiet? So there's not a lot of pressure to fill the space with sound.]

[silentscout]

[They can sit there for a little while longer, sure. Lalli doesn't mind when conversations fall quiet.

But before they part ways, he's sure to look to her and give a small smile. The first one he's had all game, even.

It will be alright, Flayn. He has faith in you.]

[cethflayn]

[oh!!!!

blessed

She smiles back. Hers are more plentiful, sure, but this one is no less honest.]
