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).]

[ He guesses they'd kind of accepted that the way they'd gotten here in the first place was probably some kind of magic, and the way the food showed up here every day...

...Maybe his iron maiden. ]

...No, I guess not. So it's just a matter of tapping into whatever [ ... ] he's using, you mean?

[magycks]

Precisely. We may lack the power to sense or utilize the source he draws on, but there is latent energy to be channeled. I've waited decades for less.

[thisaroma]

[ Waiting decades for less than this doesn't seem like a great deal, but he's not going to hold that up as a reason to question her judgment, even though maybe he should.

He nods slowly. He was always just an end user when it came to occult stuff, and he didn't really know how any of it worked when there wasn't an instruction manual. Magica knows a lot more about these things than he does. ]

Well... if anyone here can figure it out, it should be you, so... just tell me whatever you need. I'll help you.

[magycks]

Good.

[ LISTEN THE PAYOFF FOR THAT WAIT WAS WORTH IT for the like, hour she had before getting her ass beat by tiny children, a supercentenarian, donald duck, a plane, ]

Once I've devised a plan of action, I'm going to hold you to that. Until then... I don't know, just try and not die?

[thisaroma]

[ Well, he can at least do that much. He gives a firm nod. ]

You got it. [ ... ] Thanks.
