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!)

We were told that your success was reliant on ours, and vice-versa. So we all did what we could... The planning was admittedly somewhat fun, though I believe the notion that we couldn't very well die again was a fair portion of that.

[scythegun]

I imagine it would be a bit difficult to die again in your state.

[god. why can't things be normal and the dead stay dead and you can't come back to life. why does so much of this game involve coming back from the dead. goddamn.]

I'm glad we could help you all out as well, then!

[dokkalfheimr]

Well, I imagine if you hadn't all of you likely would have been dead as well, making it a bit of a moot point...

[...anyway, ]

I did mean it, you know. About...wanting all of you to see my realm at some point. Holding gatherings, even if only once a year. I would like to have you, if everything aligns well.

[scythegun]

[It gets a soft laugh from him, anyway.]

I'd like that, ja. Though I would like to request a plus two - I'm not going anywhere without Droite and Gauche.

[...And also he wants you to meet them but shush!!!]

[dokkalfheimr]

[yeager there is just so much "oh no" happening here]

Of course. Seeing as you're going to be meeting Triandra, that seems more than fair.

[scythegun]

[LISTEN.... DON'T..........]

Ja, of course; I would like to meet her! I'm sure you and Plumeria are very eager to get home.

[poor triandra... how has she been doing while y'all were gone........]

[dokkalfheimr]

[SHE'S BEEN TRYING NOT TO THINK ABOUT HOW POOR TRIANDRA HAS BEEN DOING...]

...You may meet a few others as well. My brother's retainers; they have no one to serve now that he's gone, though if they're willing I may be able to look after them.

[peony and mirabilis are gonna be so confused]

[scythegun]

Oh, of course! I do hope it goes well for all of you!

[dokkalfheimr]

Hopefully. I likewise hope Chloe will be returning with me permanently, though I haven't discussed that with her yet.

[...]

...She and Plumeria may be referring to me differently now, please don't ask too many questions...

[scythegun]

[Chloe absolutely deserves a break, so hopefully that'd be nice for her...]

Oh? What do you mean by that?

[sorry what was that about not asking questions???]

[dokkalfheimr]

[ B( ]

Did I not just tell you to not ask questions?

[She seems more...weirdly flustered by it than anything. Oh god, she's embarrassed, send help.]

[scythegun]

Sorry, I didn't catch that. What was it you said they're calling you now?

[omg cute............. so of course he isn't letting it go so easily!!]

[dokkalfheimr]

[ >BC ]

I... It's nothing, I just... I told them that if they want to be considered my daughters then they are such, that's all.

[scythegun]

[Oh!! Oh, that's really cute, actually... No wonder you're embarrassed though, just trying to imagine Gauche and Droite calling him "dad" is going to kill him, so he'll drop the teasing at least!!!]

How sweet! Did they both decide to take you up on that?

[dokkalfheimr]

[SEE, THAT SHIT'S WEIRDLY EMBARRASSING.]

...Yes.

[scythegun]

I'm glad to hear it. Congratulations!

[you did it freyja, you properly adopted the girls!!!]
