All Good Things.... [OTA]
With little Spot in her carrier and Orac in his, he'd packed modestly in preparation to go. As if expecting him to go, he'd woke up to find most of his closet empty aside from the attire Garak made for his wedding; a burgundy mandarin collar jacket with an embroidered gold waistcoat. No costumes for the holosuite. No cricketing gear. No dress uniform.
At least after all the trouble his brother had caused, at least there was this. It was vindicating really. While two of the people (or one, depending on how you looked at it) wasn't there to share the experience and O'Brien wasn't there as he would have liked him to have been, at least Data could have a surrogate of sorts standing in on his wedding party. With the seventh Doctor, Riker, and Geordi on his side and Garak, Glitch, and Vila on Avon's, Picard conducting the ceremony and the knowledge that Trance would get him away from the place that would keep taking people away from him.
It was also fitting that it took place in a duplicate of Ten Forward, and likely the last time he would see anything that felt this close to home. But for now this would be his last chance to see his crewmates, and he was trying to speak with everyone at the reception that he could.
[(Treat like a gathering post for the reception, which is open to anyone. Posting for all my characters in comments. Last open, as I would like the chance to get my good-byes/last conversations in. Late tags are okay.)]
