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!)

I don't think that's any of your concern, now, is it?

[She seems so pleased with herself right now, oh my god.]

I've already offered you one favor, haven't I? If you want any others, you're going to give me the reverence I deserve and beg me for it.

[heroantagonist]

No. No, it is my concern. I was working for months to even see that treasure.

[He turns around slowly, arms spread wide before falling slack against his sides.]

So, just. Where is it? Is it even real? Auuugh, I really don't want to believe that bastard, LeChuck lied about all of this to me. Because that'd just be the crap cherry on the shit sunday.

[dokkalfheimr]

My soul bleeds for you. Truly.

[heroantagonist]

I'm not gonna lie. It sucks ass.

Then again, I'm saying this to a dead woman.

[dokkalfheimr]

It... Ah.

[...]

Why is mortal slang so vulgar? I suppose it deserves credit for painting such a vivid mental image...

[heroantagonist]

It does, doesn't it? Now, I don't like to be nearly as crass as some folks, but uh... Yeah. We like being creative.

Sometimes a F-bomb just isn't enough, y'know?

[dokkalfheimr]

I see. I've no doubt that where I'm from, people have surely thought such things, but voicing them in mixed company is something else altogether.

[She looks strangely contemplative about this.]

I should hope that you use words half that creative to describe what ends up being done to you in the end, then. Whether by me or otherwise.

[heroantagonist]

Ahahaha, hahaaaa...

That's. That's good. That's a good threat. Creative.
