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

[ 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. ]

[You know... he's just going to watch that magical display, because holy shit? There's a part of him that's still kind of unnerved by watching such powerful magic, but eh. He knows who's casting it. It's fine!]

...I suppose this will sound like an odd question, but how does it feel to use magic like that?

It's a little frightening, to be honest.

[He sounds entirely straightforward about that much.]

You really feel the power coursing through you, and it feels really good, but you become aware of how much power it is, if that makes sense. You know how much things can go wrong, and how high the stakes can be if it does.

That isn't to say it doesn't feel wonderful, because it does. But I'm not fully trained yet, so some of the fear is still there.

...I think I understand the spirit of it, if not necessarily the actual feeling. I have had that sort of feeling through more indirect means.

...

In any case, I believe you will get there someday.
