unknownseas | There's (not) always a beach party

And sure enough, true to Carmen's word, it's not long before she grants clearance and others start to appear - some familiar, some less than. There's no guarantee that you'll understand each other, or even really enjoy each other's company, but in a way, you all share the same strange and traumatic experience. Surely that counts for something, right?

Carmen herself hangs off to the side, ready to send anyone home who wants to go, or to elaborate on things that have happened, but for now it's a beautiful day at the beach, you're all alive, and that's good enough for now. Enjoy the vibes.

[ ooc: welcome to the last IC log of Unknown Seas r2! Feel free to mingle to your hearts' content, get up to Shenanigans, whatever you'd like! The world, along with the multiverse beyond, is your oyster.

For R1 characters, about 3 months have passed since the end of your round. You've been able to do some travel, but this is the first time Carmen's gotten the Lutece Machine fully operational like this. also, you've all known in broad terms about this for a while, if you talk to carmen much! She mostly just... didn't want to drop "oh and there was ANOTHER round of this" right after the end of r1. So come in, say hi to everyone from your prequel-sequel (or, dare I say, pre-sequel) round, and have fun!

As for our lovely players, see you guys in the OOC comm for the love meme, and, if you're interested, further beyond for Round 3! ]

I see. Your family speaks well of you, though I'm sure you've heard that quite enough by now.

Ah...I suppose they do.

[Have we been told about Seteth and Rhea yet? Probably not! But that's Mira's problem, don't worry about it Anna.]

How did you lot manage out here, anyway? Though I hear you had much better accommodations than that dingy facility we were in.

We were alright. Barring the week where our food was taken away, we did always have food, and many things to do to occupy the time. I got to read many romance books during my first two weeks.

[And then she sort of didn't want to read them anymore, ya know, people were dying and it was upsetting.]

Romance books. Ours preferred geography. That and showing off stolen goods.

Oh, ours paid a lot of money to get things set up. Far too much than one person ought to have.

[Flayn is a true Comrade]

I'm sure ours must have cost a lot as well, though the fact that they were an organization of master thieves would've explained that one.

Hm...I think ours was just a man with too much money. I cannot say I know where he got it all, but I did steal the fish buttons he had in our crafts room. He can afford the expense.

I suppose wherever he's going, it isn't as if he won't have bigger problems.

Mm, this is true. He is going to be imprisoned in the realm of nightmares, so his fate cannot get worse than that.

Ours just ended up in a dank hellhole with the world's most irritating scientist keeping him on a leash and away from the undead shambling about. So it boils to the same thing, really.

That does sound rather terrifying.

[But like, honestly, good for you guys.]

But clearly he deserved it.

Naturally. So tell me, we weren't the only ones with ridiculous titles and incomprehensible selection criteria, were we? Because if not, I swear.

Hm, I suppose not. I was "Saint Baby".

[Which was apt in a lot of ways? She is the youngest of the Saints of Fodlan and the child of a Saint. Sure was awkward to pretend it didn't mean anything!]

...he made them match, of course he did. Charming. I had "Icy-Hot," before you ask.

[Match?]

What is an "Icy-Hot"?

A pun. It's a medical aid, but you see...

[Anna puts her hand out towards some poor innocent banana plant on the beach. It bursts into flame, then immediately freezes over. She looks incredibly satisfied with herself.]

Oh, good, this place has a reasonable amount of magic lying about. I believe you should understand now?

A medical aid? I would quite like to see-

[And then Anna does her magic and it's like! Whoa! Cool!]

Oh my goodness! It is as if you can use Fire and Blizzard at the same time! If only we all were so lucky!

[She looks so, so proud of herself. I'm sorry.]

Luciernaga Tumba is an involved technique, of course. But temperature-related spells are a type I specialize in. Of course, this world you've ended up in seems to have a good amount of magic to draw upon.

[Don't apologize, this is Flayn's folly to realize.]

Really? Hm...I suppose it would have quite a bit of magic, considering where we must be and what could have happened.

Not as much as a realm entirely made of magic, but there's certainly no lack of it. Of course, I'm sure you must have access to your own abilities by now.

Yes, I do! They were returned to us by a goddess of the sea who is very beautiful.

[Flayn's biased, anyone "of the sea" is beautiful in her eyes.]

Good, then that's dealt with. I suppose I ought to ask what we're immediately dealing with in regards to your lot, though, given my own group is an absolute waste at times. Or at least some of them. None of yours were playing both sides up to the final trial, were they?

...I...do not think so?

[They all seemed pretty united on "Screw LeChuck", even those of them who are definitely on the evil alignment.]

Oh, good, we don't need two of him. Or three, given all Zelos went on about.
