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!

Lan Fan & Greed (open if anyone wants to break in)

Lan Fan huffed as Greed pulled her toward the dance floor, scowling the whole way and trying to ignore the warmth she could feel on her face. "Why do you want to do this anyway!?" she huffed, though he hadn't pushed her to the point that she had broken away yet (or flat out smacked him for just dragging her off like this).

"What d'ya mean why?" He asked as he tugged her along gently yet frimly, kicking his shoes off when one of the attendant ghosts made a little motion for it. "I'm here with a beautiful woman, why wouldn't I wanna dance with her?" Greed commented boystrously and probably more loudly than she would have preferred.
forherprince: (oh crap...)

[personal profile] forherprince 2013-08-29 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
She snorted audibly at that answer, her expression remaining dismissive and contrary--even though it made her face turn even redder. "I can't help but question your eyesight." She certainly didn't consider herself 'beautiful'. She didn't even consider herself pretty.

And most of the time she didn't consider herself a woman at all.
youjustlivehere: (A little smile)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-08-29 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Greed casually waved off the woman's crack about his eyesight. He knew beauty when he saw it and there was no way he was going to take back what he said. To do so would be dishonest and he had a thing about that. "I think between the two of us, I'm the one who knows a good thing when he sees it" The man commented with a chuckle, swinging his body around so that he was facing her fully and sliding his hand softly up her wrist to clasp her flesh hand in his.

"You oughta kick off those heels by the way, you'll probably be more comfortable without them."
forherprince: (pulling up collar)

[personal profile] forherprince 2013-08-29 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Lan Fan jerked lightly as he took her hand, fighting the automatic urge to pull free of his grasp. It had nothing to do with him specifically, it was simply that touch by itself was taboo in Xing. She didn't know what to think about what he was saying. People didn't say these sorts of things to her. But then again, she was usually hidden behind a mask and blending into the background.

"You're ridiculous," she answered, her tone low but clearly uncertain as she stepped out of the shoes.
youjustlivehere: (Such a cute look)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-08-29 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
He wasn't lying (he never did), the man wasn't any kind of expert dancer, but he managed to keep in time with the music just the same. He also knew enough to move her metal hand onto his shoulder, allowing him to rest his other hand easily on the curve where her waist met her hip.

"You say that like it's a bad thing" Greed retorted at her comment, taunting her with a smile and enjoying the feel of the plush carpet under his feet.
forherprince: (hmph)

[personal profile] forherprince 2013-08-31 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
She inhales sharply at the feel of his hand at her waist, trying to push down the automatic thought that she was about to take a hit in a vital and vulnerable area, completely unused to being touched anywhere like that outside of a fight.

"It is not a good thing," she answered, probably looking more contrary than anything.
youjustlivehere: (hah)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-08-31 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Seems pretty good right now." He countered, moving along with her and the music smoothly. "You really oughta loosen up. You know, try and have some fun? I might even get to see you smile then." The man teased her before leaning forward abruptly to dip the woman. He was having too much fun just getting her to dance at all. As though he'd accomplished a difficult task.
forherprince: (oh crap...)

[personal profile] forherprince 2013-09-02 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Lan Fan would have retorted again, if she wasn't caught completely off guard by the dip, and without even thinking about it she twisted her frame, shifted her weight...

... and bodily threw Greed over her shoulder--because in her line of experience that was the correct reaction...
youjustlivehere: (Shocked)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-09-02 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
And just like that, Greed found himself sailing through the air. He recovered with a quick somersault and landed on his feet, crouching down to retain his balance. Then he sprinted back towards her dart his arm around her waist and pull her back toward him.

"Dammit Ninja Girl" He complained "You know how I feel about fighting Ladies. Just keep to the dancing wouldja"

It was surely a hilarious sight for anyone watching--both for the fact that some guy just got tossed by a little girl in a dress, and also for the way that she almost instantly backpedaled after she did it.

Well... backpedaled until he darted right back at her, automatically moving to block and parry the arm trying to go around her waist. "Well, don't do that!" she answered back, her face going beat red.
youjustlivehere: (Like a shark)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-09-04 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
As the woman moved to block him, Greed followed her flow of motion, reflexively rolling the woman over his arm and then turning so that he could clasp her wrists from behind. As if on cue; the tempo of the music began to pick up, taking on a jazzy, swing like feel.

"You're really not gonna make this easy for me are you?" He asked but then his expression changed and he grinned, bearing his shark like teeth. She could probably feel the change in mood even with him behind her. "But hey, I can work with this babe. It is a party after all."
forherprince: (plotting)

[personal profile] forherprince 2013-09-05 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Considering she didn't actually mean him any harm... and she wasn't expressly trying to 'beat' him at anything she let him move about her without striking out or fleeing--even though there was a part of her that wanted to. She found herself with the man at her back and her arms outstretched.

"I said I was no good at this--" she answered before twisting away to one side, hand shifting to grab his wrist as she came out of the turn with a slight flurry to the skirt. "You're insisting, why should I make it easy?"
youjustlivehere: (Speaking with Authority)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-09-05 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
She turned, slipping his from grasp easily. However, when her hand came up toward his wrist, his muscle memory reflexively brought his opposing hand up to block her and at the same time, he took a quick step forward, bringing the hand she'd been reaching for back and around to make a faux strike against her shoulder with his outstretched palm.

"Hey I asked and you could have refused my invitation." He says a little smugly "But ya didn't."
forherprince: (GDIT GREED!!)

[personal profile] forherprince 2013-09-06 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
She blocked the strike casually with the back of her hand, moving to shove against his chest with the other. "You didn't ask, you just dragged me out here," she retorted with a slight snap.
youjustlivehere: (hah)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-09-06 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
As she brought her hand up to shove him he brought his other arm up and blocked her as well, and taking it a step further he also twisted his body slightly to the side. As his body was in motion, Greed brought his left hand up to the woman's arm to take hold of it, while his right arm was already carrying his motion forward in what would normally be a strike to her stomach, however instead he was attempting to slide his arm around her waist to bring her close again instead, as they were still technically supposed to be dancing.

"Oh that." He commented with a short laugh "I thought you meant the paty in general."
forherprince: (hmph)

[personal profile] forherprince 2013-09-09 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well, to look at them they certainly were going through some sort of dance--even if it wasn't the kind meant to be taking place. She caught his hand as he made to take hold of her arm, her opposite arm making to pivot the other away from a strike to her midsection--but not so much to knock his arm completely away, almost as if she realized he was trying to go back to what they were supposed to be doing.

"I am starting to rethink that decision as well," she said flatly--but there was something in the flat tone of her voice that brought across the fact that she wasn't serious.

Because if she was serious she would have left a long time ago.
youjustlivehere: (Aw yea)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-09-10 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Greed smirked, sliding his arm around her waist and relaxing his position, in order to put his other hand on her shoulder without eliciting another retaliation. Returning to an easy rhythm.

"Say what you like, but I bet you had a good time just now at least." He leaned his head forward then, speaking in a low tone. "Besides. You know I'm gonna take you home whenever you're ready." He didn't mean for it to sound suggestive, but with his voice and demeanor there was really no helping it.
forherprince: (tch...)

[personal profile] forherprince 2013-09-11 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
It seemed like the impromptu 'spar' was over as she let his hands settle again. She started to respond, at least until he leaned in. However he meant it, the words combined with the tone and the closeness just made her mind go the wrong way. Her cheeks flushed almost instantly and she turned her head away sharply. "Don't say it like that," she mumbled.
youjustlivehere: (Arrogant)

[personal profile] youjustlivehere 2013-09-12 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
This was almost too much, and Greed was sorely tempted to keep teasing her just to watch her blush more. Something about the way she acted, or reacted, that mad the man want to prod her like a bratty child. He relented though and straightened back up, despite the smile that seemed to be stuck to his face.

"Alright you know what I mean babe." He commented. "Just let me know when you wanna blow this joint"
