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!)

Maybe. You're lucky, I guess. Not too many people listen if you try to reach out like that.

[hypnowhip]

Believe me, I completely understand. I wouldn't have been able to do it properly if we didn't end up here together.

[Funny how that works...]

[onlyyoucan]

I wonder if things would've been different, then... I mean, if it happened to anyone else.

[hypnowhip]

That's a good question...and a totally different can of worms, I'm sure.

[Boy are they in for a surprise with the R1s.]

But let's not worry about the what-if's now, eh? This is a happy occasion!

[onlyyoucan]

[Yeah, but none of those are Her One And Only Brother In The Whole World.]

I guess. At least we made it here after all that.

[LET'S NOT THINK ABOUT THE HOSTAGE ROUND--]

You guess? [That gets him to giggle a little.] You know what? That's a lot coming from you, Sara darling. I'm glad you were able to see this through with us.

...thanks. I can hardly believe any of this worked out, even though we were working so hard through it.
