There's always a lighthouse

[thekeyofsea]

[ Blinking, bruised, but not defeated, you all stumble forward into the light. It's a quicker and easier trek downhill to the beach than it was up to the lighthouse by far - especially, perhaps, for those of you eager to see your previously fallen fellow passengers.

LeChuck comes with you, of course - not that he has much other choice, struck low by the Ultimate Insult as he is - and already on the beach or upon the ship they sailed from hell itself are the dead, ghostly but present. You can touch them, there's just a weird glow and you can kind of see their skeletons?

Jones, for his part, stands on the deck of the Dutchman, a plank lowered by his crew to the sand below for anyone who wants to speak with him. There will come a time to decide what to do next, but for now... focus on reuniting and figuring out what happens to that mean ol' LeChuck now.

Welcome to your Golden End. ]

(ooc: Congratulations, everyone! Feel free to mingle here to your hearts' content - tomorrow afternoon or evening, your ride home will be resolved, and that'll lead to an optional mingle with any Round 1 characters who wish to join and commiserate about the experience!)

Which means finding whatever brought us here... unless we sunk it with the Swift. But even then, dying didn't stop us so far.

[She is so tired.]

[paucipan]

No, it certainly didn't. We'll find an answer, one way or another.

[...]

But you know, maybe you should take a rest for a moment. You look absolutely exhausted, Sara.

[onlyyoucan]

I've had worse. ...then again, we probably all have by now.

[You know, like dying, but.]

[paucipan]

Oh, certainly. But that's no excuse for not taking a little bit of respite while one has the chance.

[Plumeria is definitely getting dangerously close to nagging territory, I'm sorry Sara--]

[onlyyoucan]

You sound like Jasper, you know that?

[paucipan]

...Do I really?

[Oh gods. Well, Plumeria's not going to stop, at least.]

You know, if you're hearing similar things from two people, maybe there's a point in them.

[onlyyoucan]

...maybe. We need sleep and food again once we're alive, anyway.

[paucipan]

Exactly. And that's why it's important to rest, whenever you have the chance.

[onlyyoucan]

I guess. I just don't want to fail. That's all. And I still have something I need to do.

[paucipan]

[...Hmph.]

...Just don't overdo it, alright? I know that's going to be hard for someone as dedicated as you.

But I just don't want to hear about you burning yourself out entirely.

[it's not like she cares or anything!!]

[onlyyoucan]

[sigh]

I'll try. I can handle a lot, but... maybe it'd be nice to rest for a while, if we really can get back after this.
