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! ]

Well, yes. I did notice. But not only is it rude to bring that up, it does not bother me.

[She might not be neurodivergent but that doesn't mean she's totally unable to understand.]

...Mmm.

[He wouldn't count it as rude, exactly, but it's something they'll have to talk about eventually. Probably not right now, in front of Seteth.

But he nods, accepting her answer there, and offers her his hand. Saying 'thank you for accepting me as I am' is difficult, but showing that same feeling with hand-holding is much easier. He feels lucky to have met Flayn.]

[She takes his hand happily, and smiles.

And looks at Seteth while doing so, as if saying, "What shall you do now, Father? I am holding hands with a boy whom I have decided to court!"

But like, out of love.]

Well, I am glad you managed to find a decent young man, at the very least.

[...]

Please do be responsible, you two. Especially you.

[...THERE IS, PERHAPS, A BIT OF MENACE AS HE LOOKS IN LALLI'S DIRECTION...]

[frowny face! do not menace her boy! she chose this one!]

I would have preferred it be under kinder circumstances, but, yes. Thank you.

Oh, of course. Still, I imagine you will have more peaceful days ahead of you.

...

Hopefully the other version of myself will be as understanding...

...Yes, I am. Worried. About that.

[just imagining seteth bursting between them all LEAVE ROOM FOR THE GODDESS]

...

You may need to break the news gently and ease the other version of myself into the idea...

...Father, do you really think I am going to be good at that?

[There is SO MUCH to tell! So very much to explain! And Lalli wants her to come with him to his world because they have to get his cousin's blessing and she wants to meet Lalli's friends and maybe pet more cats and-]

...

Well, another solution could be that you bring me along to explain, though given the Tomas incident I am not certain how well that would go...

As much as it would be a relief to have you there to help, you are right. I would not want you to think you were an agent from Those Who Slither in the Dark.

Why can't you just tell him we're dating and leave it at that? If the one here is reasonable, then the one at your home should be too.

[Yeah, he considers Seteth to be reasonable. Even with the menacing looks.]

...I suppose I could send a letter. I do not think you would be able to forge my handwriting.

[He nods, completely missing the actual implications of both that statement and Seteth's look.]

I will be careful and keep Flayn safe, I'm not going to let her get hurt by anything. She won't be anywhere near the Trolls, so it's fine.
