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. ]

Well, Lif's brow raises only a touch when he sees her join him. She'd stand out in the crowd, anywhere else; amongst all the colorful characters here? She blends in about as well as he does. Even so, he seems...pleased, even if she's still has her mother's tact. It gets him to...chuckle? Has she even heard him do so?? Well she is now.]
Worry not about it. That you even came here at all is more than enough.
[...]
Truth be told, I had wanted to simply see you again. To see how you are faring, now that Hel has been slain and you've your own life to do with as you wish. And perhaps to share in some of the experiences I have found here, as well.
How do you fare? I imagine that the Askrans did not simply leave you behind, did they?
no subject
[She still doesn't know how she feels about that.]
I find that I fare well enough among them. They're kind people, though not to a degree where they behave as though I'm made of glass. So much love for life, yet so much respect for death... It's nice, in a way, to be among the living.
I could ask you likewise, how you've found it - I understand that's where you've gone off to, nowadays?
no subject
Well, it's nice to hear.]
I am glad that they continue to treat you well. You seem to have found...a purpose, among them, and you do seem happier for it. It is pleasing to see that your values and theirs align so well.
[Lif looks out to the crowd. To Aela, to Anna and Birkin likely bickering in the background, to Nova...being herself. Lif laughs.]
Indeed, I have. The people here, and the Companions back in Skyrim...they have given my life new meaning. A new purpose, to see to it that they live their lives to the fullest until they take their last.
It is...interesting. But fulfilling.
no subject
It's good of you to clarify, as "interesting" is so often not attributed to pleasant things. But I do believe you, that your life has purpose now; I imagine you would not be here still, if it did not.
[It's blunt, perhaps too much so; she never did learn much decorum in speech. Not in that particular way, at any rate.]
Is that truly something you see so easily in me? That things are...better, in their own way.
no subject
It is. You seem...lighter, somehow. You seem to be finding fulfillment in your time with them; I doubt you would speak so highly of them if you were unsatisfied, no?
[...And if she is, well, he can just go kill Alfonse again until he decides to get his shit together, it should be fine now that Hel's gone right--]
