there's always a lighthouse. there's always a beach party.

[wheremst]

[ Welcome to... a very nice beach, actually! It's very pleasant here. Carmen has set up a couple bonfires, there's some barbecues with meat to cook... and a lot of beach to hang out on! ]

Welcome to California's Pigeon Point Light Station State Park! Between Santa Cruz and San Francisco, just south of Pescadero, this lighthouse gets it's name from the Carrier Pigeon, a ship that wrecked here in 1853! ... Sorry, old habit. Go party. We have the whole place to ourselves. Most everyone here's been through something like this, or knows someone who has. And... the vending machine's bringing in some friends of yours, too.

[ It's a warm late summer night - not too hot for bonfires, but not too chilly that you need to stick by them to survive.

You've made it to the end. There are fellow survivors to meet and commiserate with, friends to meet or catch up with, and... it's over. For those of you returning, it's been about a year since the end of Round 2, and Carmen's gotten the word out to as many people as she can between trying to help this round and tracking down Round 0. If you'd like to play a hostage from the first motive, just know that they will remember it, but it's up to the player in the main round if time has passed since then or not so... it may have been a day or two ago or it may have been months! And hell with it, if you want to play a Round 0 character you suggested back in r1, come talk to us. Why not?

EDIT: Asher has gone to the trouble of making a toplevel directory for anyone intimidated by the number of pages!

Enjoy the last log of Unknown Seas! You've earned it. Love meme will come later tonight in the ooc comm. ]

Really wish we could, like, all stop meeting like this.

[Nova is here. It even looks like she dressed for the occasion in her bikini top and daisy dukes! Except that's... how she dresses all the time so like. Don't worry about it, actually.

To anyone from round 3 she'll introduce herself:]

Hi, I'm Nova from the first—second? Go around of these things. It depends on how you count, I think.

[emberserker]

Or at all, for some of you. I don't know how this lot made out, but I'd be surprised if it was any better than we did.

[reallyhatesharks]

Vending machine told me they were nicer than us but that's a really low bar because we all hate each other.

[emberserker]

Honestly, they should be fortunate if at least they managed to avoid what we went through stuck in the courtroom for three days. I'm surprised their bickering didn't tip off the help.

[reallyhatesharks]

Pretty much. I think anyone in one of these things would do better than us. How have you been? Do anything fun lately? I killed some giant piranhas.

[emberserker]

Oh, Orsterra's been fine. Their magic's easy to get used to, and I haven't had to try summoning my Embers yet. I'd try it anyway, but one ought to play it safe, all things considered.

[That is, when Magiaconatus isn't clouding her judgment, the thought that maybe she shouldn't try summoning familiars and possibly tipping it off that she's still alive is one worth entertaining.]

[reallyhatesharks]

Yeah, probably for the best.

[Does Nova fully understand Anna's whole deal? Not really! Magic's not exactly beyond her, it's just a little out of her wheelhouse and she doesn't care to learn the particulars. She gets that if Anna tries to summon her little buddies it'll probably go badly, though.]

Not that I don't love your whole crazy bitch deal, but I think everyone likes you better when you're down, like, five notches.

[emberserker]

Excuse me, I'm not crazy. And I've got plenty of other spells besides them, regardless.
