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).]

[She lowers her head a bit; eye contact isn't going to happen anymore.]
There's no reason why anyone should.
no subject
[She's trembling a little bit.]
Because despite everything, I...I still want to be your friend.
no subject
[She just sounds so resigned.]
Unless they want something, or they have some reason why they're going to care about you, specifically. Anything else is a lie.
no subject
Oh that hurts very much to hear.]
I am not lying! I care for you as any friend does! Do - do you think I am lying to you, Lady Freyja?
no subject
It's fine. I won't hate you for it.
no subject
A tear drips down Flayn's cheek onto the floor.
Then another.]
You have given me no reason to hate or dislike you - even last week, I held no animosity towards you, and still I do not! I-
[No - no, she's yelling. She's yelling and that never made anyone feel better. If she's really sorry for how she acted around Alice she wouldn't do it to other people that she cares about, would she?
Flayn sniffs loudly and turns away.]
I - no. No, I am not going to shout at someone again tonight. I...we will speak later. Goodnight, Lady Freyja - please be sure to stay hydrated.
[Rushes over back to where she left her ice cream to grab the bowl and hide behind the counter and eat where Freyja can't see her!]
