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. ]

Thank you, Data. You likewise seem well.

[No comment on how you're actually feeling because lol we all know that landmine, but you seem well.]

The past year has gone well for us in Alfheimr. The kingdoms are united again, and I've been...trying to get myself a bit more together. For everyone's sake.

[ltcommandroid]

I apologize for my recent lapse in communication. The Enterprise was recently involved in a planetary crash.

[I feel like Generations has probably happened by now but not the emotion chip bit because like, fuck it, fuck that]

But I was not significantly damaged, and Spot and the rest of the bridge crew are still well.

[dokkalfheimr]

Oh - I'm glad to hear that, at least. As long as everyone remains well...

[Mm.]

It still sounds so far beyond reach. Being out among the stars like that. The sort of thing reserved for the dreams of mortals.

[ltcommandroid]

[Data considers this, then nods.]

That sentiment is commonly expressed among species with whom we have made first contact. Even though, at that point, they have typically had space travel for several generations.

[dokkalfheimr]

Oh, I can't even begin to imagine what the mortals would do trying to get that far at this point. Probably something horribly catastrophic. Though I suppose they have to start somewhere.

...Although right now they're a bit busy picking fights with every god that exists, so I imagine they should be left to it for now.

[ltcommandroid]

It is uncommon for a people who are still at war with others on their planet, whether within their own species or not, to make it so far. When they have reached a more peaceful mindset, perhaps they will be able to spare the time and resources.

[dokkalfheimr]

[That gets a soft humming noise out of her, more contemplative than anything.]

Perhaps so. In the meantime, you'll have to tell me of your adventures. I do enjoy hearing about them, and they always seem so varied.

[ltcommandroid]

Very well. We are currently on shore leave while a new Enterprise is built. I have accompanied Geordi on a camping trip.

[not exactly the normal space adventures, but I also haven't seen Generations in like actually a decade probably]
