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. ]

[That blond man is definitely a bit on the grumpy side, but it's not like he doesn't want to be here. He's here to support his good old friend Zaveid, after all.]

Just how many of these have there been...

[Look at how many people are gathered here! Jeez, it's like this is a multi-round murdergame or something.]

You don't find it odd that they can all see us?

[...yeah of course he's still hung up on this, sorry Zaveid. Eizen is not willing to let murdergame magic/tech/whatever go.]

[sivard]

Too many.

[As though he'd have any other response. He cross his arms and shakes his head.]

Not really. They were all able to see me without issue before; I'd find it stranger if they suddenly couldn't.

[Yeah, yeah, people could see them before because the world had fundamentally broken, but he's pretty sure that's not true here!!]

[reaperscurse]

Hm.

[It's a soft sound that's more acknowledgement than anything else; it's still really surreal. A year isn't long to them at all, but there's still something odd about so many people being able to see them when back home...]

Do you intend to drag me around all evening?

[It's a lighter topic, and one he delivers with a wry smirk; it's almost something of a challenge.]

[sivard]

[By the grin on Zaveid's face, he's not the least bit put off by this challenge.]

I sure do!

[He's way too competitive to even think about turning the challenge down.]

[reaperscurse]

Try not to upset the new ones too much, then.

[He'll go along with it... for now, anyway.]

[sivard]

Me, upset anyone?!

[Come on Eizen, stop being so serious!!]

I do understand what they went through, even if their individual situations might be different from what I experienced.

[reaperscurse]

Relax, I was joking.

[He elbows Zaveid as if to prove it. That doesn't stop him from elbowing Zaveid hard, but like. You know how it goes.]

People like me can't even guess at how it must've been. Even after what you've told me, I never could fully understand. So talking to someone who's been through it'd help more.

[sivard]

[That just makes Zaveid glare and elbow him back. But this is just how they are with each other; he brushes it off almost immediately after.]

Yeah, yeah. I know.

I wasn't... exactly expecting to hear from anyone, to be honest. Given our... unique situation.

[Being invisible to nearly everyone in their world and all that.]

[reaperscurse]

You thought they'd just forget about you? Come now. A bond like that isn't something easily broken.

[He could also mention that it would be impossible to forget about Zaveid... but nah that's being too nice.]

[sivard]

[Too late, Zaveid is going to take this as a compliment, and he grins broadly at Eizen's words.]

That, I didn't think, no. I meant more... how would they contact us?

[It's sure as hell going to be a story the descendants of the current pirates tell in about 100 years, and that's really exciting actually.]

[reaperscurse]

They certainly have their ways. Though it would seem we aren't the oddest among this group.

[He looks pointed at Misfire. And Filbo. And Aiba. There are a lot of weirdoes here.]

[sivard]

Yeah.

Turns out, the multiverse is a wild place.

[reaperscurse]

I wonder...

[But he stops himself short there after a moment, then shakes his head.]

Perhaps it'd be worth traveling more often. While we've still plenty to see in our own world, I have to admit, I'm curious about what ever other world has to offer.

[sivard]

It might be nice.

Though, from what I understand, people from other worlds will be able to see us. There won't be any pretending to be ghosts if we do travel.

[reaperscurse]

That too will be an interesting experience. It's worth having at least once.

[Though given the way he lights up - in the more usual and subtle way - of course he wants to see where it takes them and just what they can learn.]

[sivard]

[Well, if Eizen is looking forward to potential travel, Zaveid is more than happy to travel with him.]

Exactly! There would be plenty for us to see. Enough to keep us occupied for centuries.

[reaperscurse]

Heh.

[For once, he'll even tone down the usual amount of "you know I'm going to turn into a dragon" that the response would usually get.]

Determine our first destination and we'll chart a course there whenever you're ready.

[sivard]

[Look... we don't talk about that. Ever.]

I'll have to find the perfect one.

[reaperscurse]

I'm sure you'll find some good options from the people here, anyway.

[sivard]

Of course.

There must be plenty of worlds to visit.

[reaperscurse]

Considering the people here? We've got our work cut out for us.

[sivard]

Well then, let's get going!

[C'mon, he's going to drag Eizen around to visit everyone!!]
