Sinbrilee | Dreaming | Death



Art by Rica.


The city is lit by a warm orange glow, there are thousands of lanterns lit and burning brightly to ward off the gathering dark. It was once a grand, thriving place, and it's obvious by the quality of the Greco-Roman architecture, the high sweeping columns of white marble, the beautifully paved roads. There are aqueducts throughout the city that look as if they could be put to use today. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the city's spent the last few hundred years underwater, it looks quite liveable. This city is entirely open to exploration, so feel free to send your character out to their heart's content. Remember, certain doorways will lead your characters into either Death or the Dreaming and these markings won't always be visible to them, so they should take care and be vigilant at all times!

Note: A separate post will be made for the events of the Bacchanal later in the month.

I've been just below the surface, swimming and hiding, but never this far down. I did not know man could survive this far below the water, unless it is Asti protecting us yet again.

It must be. I've heard of this happening before, just before I came here, but it was not nearly so pleasant.
poeticverses: (Speaking)

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-10 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I've heard the same. Something about the, ah, reanimated? I think?
virginprice: (neck curve)

[personal profile] virginprice 2013-08-10 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, the walking dead. I think a city like this is an improvement, on the whole.

[He shivers at the idea of facing a zombie.]

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-10 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
A vast improvement. There appear to be ghosts or spirits of some sort, but nothing has attempted to harm anyone.
virginprice: (watching)

[personal profile] virginprice 2013-08-10 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope they remain so calm...

[He remembers the spectres. But everything down here seems so serene.]

As long as we do not disturb them, I do not imagine we will be in much danger.
virginprice: (contented)

[personal profile] virginprice 2013-08-10 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That is true enough, and I am glad of that. Did your writing go well? I saw you with your notebook and didn't wish to disturb you.
poeticverses: (Excited)

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-10 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grins]

Oh, Alcuin, I've never been so inspired. Even now I have words and verses flowing through me, itching to be written down and preserved.

[And then he laughs]

The call of a warm bath and a dear friend, however, outweighs my need to write.
virginprice: (blond smile)

[personal profile] virginprice 2013-08-10 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope that you will let me read some when you're ready to share them.

[He grins.]

And I am flattered that I am better company- for now- than your muse.
poeticverses: (Encouraging)

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-10 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
My muse is everywhere in this beautiful city. You, however, are found only here.
virginprice: (shoulder)

[personal profile] virginprice 2013-08-10 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alcuin leans over to kiss his cheek.]

You are too sweet.
poeticverses: (Excited)

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-10 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I only speak the truth. I will leave this bath and find my muse sitting on a bench not five steps from the door. You, however, I will not, and the company of friends outweighs the company of a muse, especially when the muse surrounds me as it does here.
virginprice: (lazy)

[personal profile] virginprice 2013-08-10 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I have always heard that the muses were fickle creatures. I am glad you are so confident in yours.
poeticverses: (Happy)

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-10 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, have no fear, as soon as I return to Asti I've no doubt that my muse shall flee, hurt by my departure.
