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.))

[Oh, he didn't expect anyone to really be interested in it...]

A brand new movie editor notices something weird in the footage she's working on, but all the senior staff members discourage her from thinking about it. For about halfway through the novel it seems like they're the ones trying to cover something up as she investigates, but then it's revealed that they're trying to protect her.

[casually spoils it because he doesn't expect Ardyn to actually. want to read it.]

[JOKE'S ON YOU THIS NERD LOVES READING NEW THINGS]

Oh--that sounds quite interesting. I hope it does well, I might have to stop by and pick up a copy myself.

[tenimuho]

[???]

I brought a couple, you don't have to go out of your way.

[burninglight]

Did you? I'd love a copy if you've an extra to spare.

[tenimuho]

[He opens his bag and fishes a book out for Ardyn. He definitely only brought three here because the idea that a bunch of people would want it never occurred to him.]

Thank you very much.

[burninglight]

Oh, don't be absurd. I should be thanking you, it's been too long since I found something new to read. I'm quite looking forward to it.

[tenimuho]

[but? being thanked is strange?]

Let me know if you like it.

[burninglight]

[you're weird, other scruffy dad]

I'll be certain to, of course. It wouldn't be right not to tell you as much.

[tenimuho]

...The kids will be happy if you visit.

[burninglight]

...I'd like to. How are they all doing?

[tenimuho]

Good. They're making friends in school, and they've gotten used to the new world they're in.

[Hardly ever say rude things about zombies or mermaids anymore.]

[burninglight]

That's great to hear. I wonder if adjusting to a new world isn't simply easier as a child with less experience of the world in general--it's been a touch disorienting for me now and again, I must confess.

[tenimuho]

Maybe. Sakura adjusted the best of them.

[So, the youngest. In that case, Ardyn would have the toughest time.]
