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. ]

[It gets a bark of laughter from Aela, but she waves a hand once that's out there.]

Your secrets remain ever safe with me, Lif.

[The question earns a smile as she glances back out over them.]

It would be hard not to. Aside from those that are obviously physically different, [misfire and aiba, not to mention all the other nonhumans wandering around] there are plenty that lead such interesting lives. While I cannot say their experiences in their respective "games" were quite like ours, I imagine they have been shaped by them in interesting ways as well.

[But then again, her perspective's always been a bit weird, given she was the first victim.]

[thanks bestie]

As do I. [...] Many seem disinclined to speak the details of their games, but we all come out of them in our own ways. Some carry their heads high, letting the experience make them stronger; some seem to have been traumatized beyond belief. But they have all managed to survive and win, and that takes a strength all it's own.

The mental fortitude these people possess...I wager they'd be even stronger than the forces of Askr.

...It's unfortunate that they had to gain it through such a twisted means.

The toughest trials breed the fiercest warriors... but they can also end with the highest body count. It is amazing that so many have been able to walk away from these games at all, though there is no shame in being unable to bear the burden of such a thing.

[Murdergames aren't exactly proper trials, anyway. Maybe if you could just challenge the mastermind to the death, but sadly...]
