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!)

Do you have it?

[jibunwo]

...Would you like it back?

[he's an asshole, not a complete sociopath]

[mostly]

[heroantagonist]

Well... hell, man. Of course I do.

It's my daughter.

[jibunwo]

I still think you're insufferable at best. And honestly, I might make you pirouette a few times for my own satisfaction.

[he also suspects you're a terrible fucking father, but-]

...But I'm not that spiteful.

[He'd reach into his bag of junk and evidence, producing the framed picture of Angel and handing it over.]

[heroantagonist]

Thanks.

[There is, remarkable, genuineness in that tone. He accepts the picture frame, staring down at it for a moment.]

...She, uh, disappeared a while back. Couldn't find her, thought she was dead and all. But, uh, even if this whole thing was a complete frickin waste, your goddess friend over there offered to look for her.

So. Not a total waste.

[jibunwo]

[look father-adjacent figures are really not his Thing.]

Freyja might just be able to figure that out. Or at least be able to tell you if she's alive or not.

[heroantagonist]

Yeah, funny thing about that. She already offered.

Probably going to take her up on it, seeing as I have... [pushes air out his nose] literally no other options?
