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. ]

Only as much 's I think is funny.

[which is a fair amount, judging by the look on her face]

[dullshooter]

Then do I have exclusive and compromising information for you.

[He leans forward, as if sharing a secret.]

Did you know his appointed title here was Poor Little Woof Woof?

[sunforging]

[raising clawed hands to her mouth in the universal expression of they said what]

You're jokin'.

[dullshooter]

[He shakes his head.]

Where else do you think I got the nickname from?

[sunforging]

I just figured it came from the 'Black Wolf'. But that's much funnier.

[dullshooter]

Isn’t it?

[He sniffs back a tear.]

You need to call him that sometime. When he least expects it, of course. Make sure you don’t miss the reaction.

[sunforging]

Oh, I’ll definitely be takin’ that one back home with me.

[an alternate universe gaius is about to be very confused]

So what’s your story, big guy? That a magitech suit or somethin?

[dullshooter]

Ask him to draw you a wolf too. Don’t let up until he does.

[You can thank him later for that.]

…Are you familiar with the concept of ”extraterrestrial life forms”, or do I need to explain that one before we get into it?

hilariously the answer to this question is itself endwalker spoilers

[sunforging]

Oh, so it’s somethin’ like that.

[Yeah, that made sense.]

Familiar enough.

what in the goddamn happens in final fantasy

[dullshooter]

[Okay, that makes it easy.]

Then there you have it. I’m a Cybertronian - a member of a race of sentient transforming robots. From space. Well, space to you.

so much.

[sunforging]

Huh.

[Alien robots. If she had a gil, etc etc.]

Must be a hell of a time for you, adjustin’ to a place like this.

[dullshooter]

[He shrugs.]

I’m pretty used to winding up in situations that fall under the strange and bizarre. You learn to get used to it. It was pretty fun, actually, when we weren’t terrified of killing each other.

[sunforging]

Sounds like it’s been rough. [She rubbed the back of her neck, ears pinned back uneasily.] Did all’ve you get out okay? Ain’t missin’ nobody?

[dullshooter]

[uuuhhhhhhhh]

I think so?

[Wasn't there something they all kept forgetting about --?]

...Have you spotted the weird lady with the claws?

[sunforging]

[...Looks down at her own very long and pointy fingernails.]

[Looks back up.]

Y'mean other than me? Dunno if I looked at anybody else's hands too close.

[dullshooter]

[You know what he hadn’t even considered that.]

She’s also got the same vibe as some kind of creature that roots around in rubbish, if that helps?
