and we'll raise a glass to ass in a final goodbye

[airlockedmods]

On behalf of the Empress Kristen of New Earth, you and a guest are cordially invited to attend a party in your honor.
The party will be held on the Thirteenth day in Fourthmonth, 6975, at New Earth's Sexbang Park.
It will be our esteemed privilege to see you again.


The invitations arrived through space and time. Some arrived months ahead, some only weeks. But the victims of Airlocked all receive an invitation marked with the royal seal of New Earth.

The same section of the park has been set aside to provide privacy. There's with every kind of food imaginable, including a food truck that purports to serve Authentic Vegetarian Flavortown Cuisine. The man running it certainly looks like he wouldn't be out of place among the colorful population of Flavortown.

The statue is still there, standing tall and proud over the fountain. The forests have grown even more lush and the gardens even more verdant in the year since you last found yourselves hosted here.

Prince Daniel, now nearly five, is eager to do his princely duty and to greet every newcomer as they arrive. His mother, beautiful as always, follows behind to supervise her son and to make sure that her guests feel at home.

Welcome back to New Earth, Champions. Enjoy your stay.

((Welcome to the one year anniversary log! Here is the OOC post with the rules, but to sum up, this log is for former players of Airlocked to dust off their beloved characters and reunite with old CR. While each character's invitation includes a +1, you're free to NPC this person or to not choose one, if the character you would choose was played by a non-Airlocked player during the endgame log.

In your toplevel, feel free to include as much or as little as you'd like about what your character has been doing over the past year! We ask that you leave all CRAUs from other games at the door, even though we are blown away by just how many of you loved your character development enough to take them with you into other games.))

Yeah, it really is. I mean, not to toot my own horn or anything-- [ yeah okay ] --but while I could probably cook better than some of them? It's pretty nice.

[ Which isn't actually a lie! Rhys has been learning those sweet domestic skills on his downtime. It helps with stress. ]

Besides, if they tried to poison any of us, I'm pre-tty sure they'd have a lot on their hands with all of us ganging up on them.

[burninglight]

Is that right? Don't tempt me to come visit, you might never be rid of me.

[pictured: a cryptid who burns calories at an obscene rate because magic is nonsense]

You've a good point. I suppose I've nothing to worry about with all of you here.

[unrhysonable]

Oh man, are you kidding? We'd love to have you.

[ He laughs a little. ]

Exactly. I mean, I'm no Nishitani, but I can throw a punch.

[burninglight]

You say that now, don't regret it later.

[ARDYN...]

Of course, you're a regular menace. I'm utterly in terror merely standing in your presence.

[unrhysonable]

Pfffft, I have plenty of regrets, what's one more?

[ rhys, ]

And that's right! You should be shaking in your boots.

[burninglight]

[Laughing, Ardyn held up his hands defensively--he'd stopped wearing gloves, leaving the scars through his palms out in the open.]

Do have mercy, I clearly don't stand a chance.

...It's good to see you again.

[unrhysonable]

[ He grins and gives him a little nudge... before pulling him into a hug. ]

I've seriously missed you guys.

[burninglight]

[oh are we hugging now look out you've unleashed a monster]

[Ardyn put his arms around Rhys and picked him up clear off the ground before setting him down again, damn tall bastard.]

That's what happens when you're suddenly bereft of the loud obnoxious presences in your life. Terrible shame when things actually quiet down a bit.
