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. ]

[Filbo chuckles, a little sheepish]

Gosh, you know very well I think the same of you.

[All is well that ends well, he believes. Resuming his life after the murdergame was far smoother than expected, and that somehow he and others ended better than before is something to be so glad about]

I'll be looking forward to seeing you in New Year if you invite me. Gotta begin thinking of what to bring once it's time -- can't just go with empty paws.

[dokkalfheimr]

I tend to host banquets for the new year - you can bring something if you like, but I'm hardly going to make you, you would be coming as my guest.

[It's light, though; she sounds pleased.]

I would rather like to see you again at that time, then. I'm sure the others would as well. You're always welcome in my realm, you know that.

[ahelpingpaw]

You can be sure I'll do it because I want to, Freyja. [It would be almost surprising that he doesn't] I have been practicing cooking, kinda? On the nights and by myself because the rest of the time I'm busy, but I'm trying. Only one food poisoning incident! By the time New Year comes I'm gonna know how to make something really good.

[Honestly he sees 'only one food poisoning incident' in one year as a minor victory. When you have no faith in yourself, not doing abysmally awful already is a surprise. His self-esteem has greatly improved but sometimes he can't help getting worried about being awful at things.

But yeah, being trapped in the ship with limited food made him want to know how to cook stuff because before being on that ship all he knew how to cook was things like pasta and coffee, and only of average quality. That he's doing well enough to mention he'd like to cook and bring something is a good sign he's feeling pretty good about his progress so far now that he's practicing]

[dokkalfheimr]

Is that so? I'm proud of you, then - I can imagine it's far more difficult to do without magic ensuring that it comes out well. I have difficulty picturing trying to do anything of the sort on my own... If you make something by mundane means, I'll have to be sure to experience it myself.

[And pray that she isn't the one food poisoning incident a year, haha.]

[ahelpingpaw]

Doing it with your own paws isn't too bad! If we get time during New Year maybe we can try something easy once the bustle of the celebrations is over -- start the new year with something new.

[Not that he's too sure what would be fitting enough. Oh well, he'd have literal months to decide something]

Besides, it's good bonding with family! Plumeria, Chloe, and Trianda could enjoy it.

[Inwardly he really hopes he remembered the right name for Freyja's other adopted daughter. Having been so long since Freyja told him about them, he really hopes he didn't just mangle her name, that would kind of ruin what he's saying, he thinks, hah]
