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.))

Mm, it's a nice outing. You see that little prince running around? He's so cute, why don't we have any of our own?

[burninglight]

Don't I have enough children? Besides, Junpei alone is enough of a handful.

[motherfucking_ghost]

As rambunctious as an actual kid. And you've got birds. Now those, those are kids.

[burninglight]

I'll have you know Philomela is a respectable adult, thank you very much.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Just as respectable as her dad, yeah.

[burninglight]

So quite respectable indeed. Atop being charming, clever, and possessed of devastating good looks.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I hate that I can't argue against any of that.

[burninglight]

Not unless you want to sleep on the couch all week, no.

[nefarious]

[motherfucking_ghost]

I can always sleep in the barn with your good daughter.

[burninglight]

[Ardyn gasped, pressing a hand to his chest in mock horror.]

Without me? You wouldn't.

[motherfucking_ghost]

So sorry, no room for you at all. I'll be taking up all the space.

[burninglight]

Oh, noooo. You're being horrendously cruel to me now.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Impossibly cruel. The king of cruelty. [That's why he cuddles against his husband so.]

[burninglight]

The very worst. [Which is why he's getting hugged.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

You look good out here with your people. You look happy out in the sun. I hope your letter's not too morbid.

[burninglight]

It's nice to be able to stand out in the sunlight. Better still to see everyone else again.

[He leaned his head on Church's, quite comfortable hanging all over him.]

Perhaps it might be a little morbid, but it's not that bad. It's...a good thing overall, I think.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I'm glad. A little catharsis is good so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Or only hurts someone a little bit.

Man. Look at how loved you are.

[burninglight]

Oh? What about you? [Punctuated by a kiss to the cheek.] I can think of few people so loved as you in this very moment.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yeah, well. I'm not an intergalactic soap star or everyone's dad.

[burninglight]

Not at all. You're something far better and more interesting than any of that. Do you know what that something is?

[motherfucking_ghost]

N...no?

[burninglight]

[oh lordy here comes that terrible mischievous smile.]

'Mine'.

[motherfucking_ghost]

[SHOVE]

You stupid adorable fuck, don't make me jump you in front of god and everyone.

[burninglight]

Not in front of the birds, darling.

[you're both useless]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Lusci's seen enough of us in various state of undress, but we have to protect Philo's virgin bird eyes. [He giggles until he finds himself flopped across Ardyn's lap.]

Besides. Being yours only accounts for you loving me as you rightly should.
