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.

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)

[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.

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)

My muse is everywhere in this beautiful city. You, however, are found only here.
virginprice: (shoulder)

[Alcuin leans over to kiss his cheek.]

You are too sweet.
poeticverses: (Excited)

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.

I have always heard that the muses were fickle creatures. I am glad you are so confident in yours.
poeticverses: (Happy)

Oh, have no fear, as soon as I return to Asti I've no doubt that my muse shall flee, hurt by my departure.
