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. ]

[Someone here looks extremely overdressed for the beach. His hair is a bit longer now and is hanging just past his shoulders, but otherwise he looks pretty much the same as before. He also stands there scowling at how bright it is before reaching back and pulling his hood over his head. The annoyed noises he makes sound vaguely catlike.

If you are from R2 he will say hello by going over and standing right in front of you and looking you over to see how much you have changed in the last year. If you are from any other round he will also stand right in front of you and look you over, but somehow it is slightly more judgemental.

He also has Kissa with him, who has decided that she will just dig holes in the sand for now. R2 people get her rubbing against their legs though.]

[Here's technically an R2, anyway: Emily is being toted not by Sara, but by a child who looks like... well, her, only alive with an alien tinge to her skin, red eyes, and a marking on her face. The kid lights up and runs over to Lalli and Kissa.]

Hi! It's really hot on this planet, isn't it? Do you think there's fish in the water?

[silentscout]

[Oh! It's Emily and...another Emily? Lalli looks perplexed by this for a moment, but given how much the two Emilys look alike he can kind of guess at what happened. His guess is likely not completely accurate, but close enough.

To answer Emily's question, Lalli first looks out to the water there. He squints in concentration, looking for the telltale signs of life: the presence of the souls of living creatures mostly, but also for any dark patches under the surface. After a few moments, he nods.]

Mhmm. There's some. Not close, but further out.

[i_em_legion]

Really? [She lights up.] I remember Flayn taught us a lot about fish! On the boat! Do you know about them, too?

[silentscout]

[Oh, Flayn...now Lalli is smiling, just a little bit.]

I remember. And I know some, mostly how to catch and cook them.

[i_em_legion]

That sounds fun! There's all kinds of new food where we are now too. Do you have breadsticks where you are?

[she has totally eaten an entire box when they weren't looking]

[jibunwo]

Lalli, what-?

[Lelouch has, in fact, changed very slightly: his left eye is not actively glowing! He is, however, very startled by the sudden invasion of personal space.]

[silentscout]

[A non-glowing eye, neat! After a couple seconds, Lalli nods and then straightens up into a slightly more relaxed pose.]

You haven't changed much. Hello.

[He does not leave Lelouch's personal bubble. He does not even think to step back.]

[jibunwo]

It's only been a year, what did you expect?

[why this]

Aren't you hot, dressed like that?

[says the chucklehead in a cape]

[silentscout]

I thought you might get taller.

[He's 10 centimeters shorter than Lelouch.]

It's warm, but it's alright. I like the warmth.
