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. ]

[ Once Floyd had his moments with Jade and Riddle, there was something he really wanted to do. Cipher said he would have his magic back the moment he stepped out of the city, right? So, Floyd does something rather silly.

He dives into the ocean. After a few moments, his clothes kind of... float to the top of the water? And soon after that, he swims back up to the surface again.

But... he might look a little different! He missed his merform quite a lot, after all. ]

Wahoo~!

[ Behold a 13+ foot long eel merman, happily swimming around again!

Later on, he shifts back to his human form - fully clothed - to wander around and hang out with people! He's absolutely gonna hit up some of the s'mores around the bonfire, a big sharp-toothed smile on his face. ]

[i_em_legion]

You're a fish!

[this is SO COOL --]

[capreelcious]

I sure am~! A moray, to be exact!

[ His tail is long enough to peek it out of the water and wiggle it at her in a wave! ]

[i_em_legion]

[She waves back. He'll also see that this kid is carrying a doll that looks a lot like her and is almost as big as she is, just because that's kind of notable.]

Fish are really interesting! We learned a lot about them on the boat.

[capreelcious]

Oh yeah? What kinds of fish did you learn about?

[ Floyd, as much of a gremlin as he can be, is really good with kids! He definitely takes note of the doll! He'll also scoot a bit closer and onto the sand a little so they don't have to like, raise their voices over the sound of the ocean. ]

[i_em_legion]

Uh-huh! [She picks up a stick and starts drawing various fish... it's really bad, yet you can still at least tell they're supposed to be fish, which puts her art ability above her caretaker's.] The boat had an aquarium! This one's called a clownfish, and that's a seahorse, and uh... Carassius! That wasn't in the aquarium, but it was our friend's favourite thing.

[capreelcious]

Super cool~! If you ever wanna know about more fish, I'm kind of an expert.

[ He smiles. Honestly he can't poke fun- his own doodles aren't the best, but he takes a webbed hand and starts drawing fish into the sand too. ]

Who's your friend?

[ He nods to the doll in her hands. ]

[i_em_legion]

Emily! [She smiles.] We're both Emily. What's your name? Do you live here?

[capreelcious]

Hi, Emily and Emily! I'm Floyd!

[ He smiles back. ]

Naaah, I don't live here. I'm with the new group of people the red lady rescued from the underwater city.

[i_em_legion]

Carmen! She's nice. She knows all kinds of things. Especially about her world! Which is kind of like the one we live on now, but all the countries are different.

[capreelcious]

Ohhh, nice, nice~! My world's kinda similar too, but there's definitely a lot more magic in it.

[i_em_legion]

Really? Do you have robots? We have those.

JADE & FLOYD TOP-LEVEL

[capreelcious]

[ Later on, you can catch the twins... well, catching up! They're either walking around, or at one of the many bonfire seating areas mingling with people. They both may have plated piled high with food on their laps. They're growing boys!

Either way, Floyd is likely waving you down to meet his twin, especially if you're an R3 member! ]

Hey, hey~! This is my brother Jade~! Come say hi.

[ Jade promptly nods in greeting with a hand over his chest, a cordial smile on his lips. ]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
