Event | Sinbrilee | Bacchanal

Characters: Any and all!
Date: August 24 - 30th
Location: Sinbrilee
Situation: An ancient festival of an ancient city, all are welcome at the Bacchanal!
Warnings/Rating: Please label threads as appropriate.

Death and destruction cannot curtail the single most important festival celebrated by the denizens of Sinbrilee: The Bacchanal! The ghosts in and about the city have begun to gossip about high fashion and festivities, sending any that inquire to the Amphitheatre -- a grand, circular structure nestled in the west side of the city.

This structure bore the fall of Sinbrilee and the wear of time with dignity, having lost handfuls of archways and one long stretch of wall to crumbling decay. Despite this, it is obvious that the amphitheatre once hosted many a display and every more festivities than the mind can grasp. This was their solace and safety; here is where the people of Sinbrilee came to find the mind's escape from all that threatened them and their great turtle.

Ghosts have been busy throughout the week, clearing paths through debris and hanging great cloth banners of soft blues and greens to disguise the more blatant signs of its decline. Many hundreds of them shimmer and slid through the area, providing for tables upon tables of food, offering drink, and overseeing competition of sport and skill (some even denying death's non-corporeal curse to enter).

Here, well... Here is where the party begins!

Isaac was about to step away, but he noticed how well this one guy was doing. The nudity wasn't very distracting. It was still fighting. He found he was entertained. If he weren't keeping such a low profile and had no desire whatsoever to strip down, he'd join in. He had a lot of tension lately and had nothing to work it out on. Maybe being home had sucked epically but he'd at least got to put up a fight every now and then.

Bucky was impressive. It seemed like he'd finally found the secret to besting his ghost counterpart. Isaac could even take notes. He realized that wrestling a ghost would be freaking pointless but like Bucky, he saw that they had to be able to touch him - and that meant they could be touched.

"You got it!" he found himself yelling, encouraging the stranger. Now he was actually rooting for him.

I AM SORRY THAT THIS IS FOREVER LATE!

Well, Bucky was trying. He'd had some good teaching and he had managed to stand his own for a little while.

But, the other problem with flesh and bone. He got tired, and, eventually, got pinned down. Then he heard the encouraging call to himself, and that distracted him for a moment, missing his chance to at least try to get free before his time ran out, according to the rules...

Though, when he was let up, he was smiling over at the young man, waving at him as he caught his breath. "Thanks!"
bereavements: (or i won't ask again. ever. yep.)

DENIED. kidding. IT IS QUITE ALL RIGHT.

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-09-07 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Isaac had tried. He shrugged. His shoulders said 'Maybe next time.'

"I thought you had him." He really did. "You're good." Keeping his eyes level, he made sure to not drop his gaze. At all. It seemed rude. It could also give Bucky the wrong idea. He didn't know if had an idea for someone to be wrong about but, either way, eyes were akimbo.
trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

LE GASP!

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-09-09 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Bucky made a beeline for the towel he had set out to wrap around his waist.

After the spectres... he was far from done with the ghosts.

"You can't win them all, but thanks."

And then, he did wander over the the teen, reaching out a hand to shake (after wiping it clean, yes).

"Name's Bucky, Bucky Barnes. Nice to meetcha."
bereavements: (taking a breath. calming down.)

LE HUG!

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-09-09 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sometimes, you can. Or, you can try real hard." And suck. And fuck everything up. And continue being on the losing end of things. It's difficult not to take in the entire picture. He's not right next to him so Isaac sees it all. He's grateful for the towel, though. He can focus less on the muscles and nudity. "That's what rematches are for."

He shook Bucky's hand, shaking it firmly. His dad always liked firm handshakes.

"Isaac. Lahey. You too." A beat passes. He fights the urge to say 'I could take you.' He's a normal teen here on the turtle.

trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

... acceptable! Right back atcha!

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-09-12 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Muscles, nudity, and scars. He's a soldier, and he hasn't exactly been shielded from stuff.

Though Bucky does grin. "Yeah, rematch is what I'm gunning up for." Good handshake. He likes that.

Though, after a moment, Bucky does raise his eyebrows at. Something in the way Isaac is looking at him.

"Somethin' bothering you?" The question's easy, he's just curious, not suspicious.
bereavements: (i need a port in the storm)

what a lovely bunch of titles and sure, cocounts

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-09-12 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Muscles and scars, no big. Nudity, also no big but still distracting enough because he is a seventeen year old teenager.

His father would be proud.

"No," he says, easily. "Guess I thought about wrestling. For a second. But, you'd take me down." It's a lie that slips out so easily. He shrugs, the picture of normal.
trainwrecked: (Handsome)

Sure, let's juggle those.

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-09-12 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, well. Most people start with getting taken down. One way only to learn both how take that fall and how to dish it out."

It's not an offer for right now, because Bucky does have his eye on the ghosts, still, but later...

Definitely.
bereavements: (so that's the plan. i think i got it.)

Better than juggling knives!

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-09-12 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right. You can only learn from learning. Trying." Derek's in the back of his mind. Tumbling and flipping through the abandoned subway car. Derek Hale Boot Camp did wonders, let him tell you.

"But, hey, you have a rematch to get to. I wouldn't want to interrupt that." He would. He really would. He'd take you down.
trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

Only if you're in the stage where you're cutting your fingers.

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-09-12 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Some things, yeah. There's no other way."

Maybe you could, kid. Except Bucky's been training against Captain America for over two years now, and equally-strong (and fast) kedan in the last... over a year.

He might surprise you.

And that's not even taking into account Natasha's training.

This may be interesting, if and when it happens.

"And that I do. And another one, and I'll probably manage one more before I get too tired to do any good, but it'll be a start."

Bucky's mouth twists in a sort of a smirk.

"Lucky the ghosts don't go for possession. But I've still got some payback to dish out."
bereavements: (no! you can't. you see nothing.)

And knives are better than chainsaws. I think everything's better than chainsaws.

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-09-12 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"You gotta get experience."

It was how he'd learned to be a werewolf. Even if he was taught by an alpha learning as he went as well. It would be interesting. Isaac has the strength, some of the agility and his puppy dog eyes. But, he has no wrestling experience. His fighting is more like parkour and acrobatics, than anything.

"Can they possess you?" His eyes go wide. "That seems like cheating."
trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

Now I'm just thinknig of Lord Valentine's Castle and all the juggling there.

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-09-13 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"These ones? If they can, they haven't tried it. But there were a more determined lot back in Keeliai after the satellite thing crashed. They did that."

And those who didn't get to experience it should count themselves lucky. That part goes without saying.
bereavements: (or i won't ask again. ever. yep.)

Think away!

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-09-13 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Great," he replies. "They better be gone for good." Or, he has some ghost ass to kick. "Good thing these guys don't." Because, that's just suck. And it wouldn't be fair. "How'd you get roped into wrestling? Just feel like it?"
trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

W00

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-09-14 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"... actually, I don't think we ever found out who exactly put the thing up or how many more there might be, so, you never know. And by 'thing' I mean the satellite that crashed. The... spectres that were possessing people sorta were trying to protect the technology on it. With how much everybody liked what they found, it was a bit of a mess. But, anyway. Can't say for sure they are gone for good. Just for now."

The latter part, though, got Bucky to smile.

"I'm a boxer, or was, a long time ago. But since they don't offer boxing - why not?" He shrugs. "Last year, there was a welcoming festival. Though it was against kedan, then. Kinda timely, to find out they're a bit stronger 'n faster than what people call 'baseline humans'. Before we had to fight 'em or something."

Yes, Bucky's being helpful. Some information, if not grasped sooner, he could give.
bereavements: (j → witnessing the carnage)

you know it

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-09-14 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Isaac just listens to the first part, trying to follow it without being completely confused. It's safe to say this is the first time he's heard of any satellite crashing. So, it sounds like, to him, that a satellite crashed and then ghosts possessed people so they could protect whatever technology lay inside. Interesting. This turtle was freaking strange.

"Yeah, that's helpful. Learn about them before you have to naked wrestle them." Whoops, maybe he shouldn't mention the naked part of the naked wrestling. "Boxing's cool. You could teach classes if they don't offer it." Like kick-boxing. Which, he knows, isn't boxing.
trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

... and then, a month later... feel free to drop, if too late!

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-10-08 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
... that actually is about it. The only missing information being that the spectres were contained in pods that were on the satellite in the first place. Which makes a bit more sense when put together with protecting the technology on it.

Bucky blinks at the part about teaching, though.

"I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people here who're much better at both fighting and teaching than I am. Some of them've offered already, over the network." Beat. "Some of them are even still here."

"... and, naked in the warm is better than fully clothed and went and cold in the muck. You do what you can, right?"
bereavements: (specific intent)

never too late?

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-10-08 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"And some of them aren't," he picks up on. His lips come together in a thin line before nodding.

"I'd take naked in the warm." Besides, look at his body.
trainwrecked: (At the bar)

Yay!

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-10-08 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." Bucky has to look away, if only for a moment. "Some of them aren't."

Too many.

But then his lopsided smile returns, and he waves towards the wrestling.

"See? My thought exactly."
bereavements: (left the classroom. following after)

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-10-09 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
He smiles in return, loosening up.

"But, I could take you." A cockiness emerges, his brow raising.
trainwrecked: (Watchin')

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-10-10 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Bucky's eyebrows rise, and his smile goes to some midpoint between teasing and challenging.

"Ya think so?"
bereavements: (as ready as i'll ever be)

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-10-10 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Less think. More know." It's a truth in his mind.
trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-10-13 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah? Why's that?"

Not that Bucky's willing to rise to a challenge, or anything.
bereavements: (waiting for marching orders)

[personal profile] bereavements 2013-10-14 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
"What fun is that?"

He gives a smirk. "How about, because." A shrug. "Another time, then."
trainwrecked: (Perky nipples)

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2013-10-24 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"What, 'curiosity' don't count as 'fun' anymore?" Bucky shakes his head exaggeratedly. "What've things come to..."

A moment, and he nods. "Right. Yeah, another time. I'll get back to my... ghosts."
