mock after party!

[waitforit]

[ WELL THAT SURE WAS EXCITING, WASN'T IT. Barney is entirely too normal for any of this shit and he pretty much lacks the, uh, emotional gumption to really process it in a healthy way so instead how 'bout some denial?

Seeing as how he was the first to run out, Barney somehow finds plenty of time (and paper?) to write up a sign in the living area that says:

What: A Party
Where: Holo Deck!
Who: YOU! (Duh.)
I don't have to tell you to suit up, so just. If you don't wanna be alone maybe stop by? Please? Just. OK?
It's gonna be legendary!

[ Upon arrival to the holo deck, you will find an ooc-ly familiar setup. The holopgraphic projections have been set up like a strip club: indistinct music, dimmed lights, catwalk, cheap booze and cheap seats all around. This is escapism at its finest, and doesn't everyone need a little escapism in their lives after that mess?

Feel free to grab a seat and enjoy the show, or maybe have a fake drink and try not to cry too much. Either way, there's probably plenty of reactions to be had in here, so why a strip club? Why not?

Of course, if the strip club isn't for you, you can always reprogram the room to your fancy, Barney will only be a little put out. Truth is he just wants to forget this whole day happened, thanks. ]

there would be a very solemn "I guess I'm drawing the map now" moment

[voltrounds]

It might be out of date soon, anyway. Now that we have the toolkit, someone might be able to get some of the other doors open.

[At least she assumes they still have the toolkit. Wow, that would be just typical if they left it down there by mistake and now they can't get to it until there's another murder.]

[humanitarianherbalist]

Yes, and it also seems we have people who know how to use it. [L O O K...his claws were usually fine for whatever destruction he had to do! What's up with all this newfangled metal shit?]

[voltrounds]

Yeah. Who knows what we might find in the rest of the ship?

[She is thinking about NEW THINGS and oblivious to his frustrations. But at least she's also distracted from murders?]

[humanitarianherbalist]

I am sure that will give you many more chances to exercise your skills. [He does pick up on her excitement, and he can humor it for now.] It would be a shame for all your mapmaking to be confined to what we already have.

[voltrounds]

Well, it isn't like I can't make a map wherever I go after this.

Cartography is an important art, after all.
