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. ]

You... you do not despise me for what I have done?
no subject
I could never despise you. I’m only sorry, that I could not be by your side, to offer you the support that you needed. I’m so grateful you had someone who could.
no subject
Oh, Mina, you're so wonderful and understanding! And please, I missed you every day I was there, but I would never ask you to endure the trials of that place, I'm plenty happy now that we're together now.
[His smile faulters quickly as the other thing that he needed to tell Mina pop into his mind. It was less... Scandalous, he supposed, but how do you break to your fiancée...?]
Ah... yes, I suppose there is one other thing I should tell you...
[He gently looks away.]

okay, and lucy.She realizes how long they’ve been holding hands, and releases them—— but moves one hand to boldly touch his arm.]Tell me. Let there be no secrets between us.

He exhales, voice going low again, more somber than scared.]
My dearest, something tragic happened to me during my kidnapping. There was someone I trusted dearly who betrayed my trust and... she poisoned me. I perished during that experience.
[He grips her hands tightly, partially for himself and partially to remind Mina that he is still standing in front of her.]
I am here now, I promise that I am not a mere spectre. I am here and alive. I was able to be ressurected almost immediately after my death, but the way they had to do this they had to alter me and...
MIna, I'm afraid I am part slug now.
no subject
But you’re here, and alive. That’s—- the important.
Who—— how?
No, no, I’m sorry. You don’t need to tell me now. You can tell me later, in private.
no subject
[He smiles again, warmly.]
But for now? We must savor each other. It has been so many months since I've last been able to hold you.
no subject
And even though it wasn’t nearly as many for me, I still—- but Jonathan. Remember, we mustn’t be too familiar, we still aren’t married—- [evesdroppers probably think she’s insinuating way more than she is but she’s just victorian]
