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.

Kara kept at a safe difference even as she peered over his shoulder. The curiosity was almost unbearable, and she found herself wondering if the light was hot at all. Not that it would really matter, them being Kryptonian.

She definitely wasn't expecting what happened next.

Jor-El very suddenly vanished from sight the moment his hand was a few inches away from the lantern's opening.

"Uncle!" Kara rushed forward into the space her uncle had disappeared from, snatching up the lantern as if she could shake the man out of it and coming up with her hands empty.

Why was she holding out her hands? She lowered them as she looked around her. She needed to find somebody. It was important. But she felt disoriented and she couldn't quite remember how she had gotten here. The landscape didn't offer much aid, just a swirling confusion of shapes and colors and some very strange sounds coming from the distance. She watched the hills move up and down like waves for a very long moment.

There was something quite wrong here, but he was not sure what (yet. Again, he wasn't sure how, but he knew that he would learn what it was, sooner or later. It felt as though this was the more important thing to discover). Regardless, this was not somewhere he was supposed to be. Probably.

In all likelihood it felt as though it was his fault (again, something that was not out of the ordinary, he intuited, rather than knew- a frustrating thing in and of itself, though once more, he could not tell why.)

The landscape was certainly different from what he thought it should be. While it seemed right that there was some under-level of bleakness to it, it being in motion probably was not.

It suddenly producing people- or rather, a singular person- was also something he suspected it should not be doing. The young woman seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember how.

He began to make his way to her.

Jor-El drew her attention as he began to move, though for some reason she thought she should know who he was. He was very clearly just a random stranger in this bizarre landscape, but he seemed almost painfully familiar to her.

"Hello," she called out, trying a smile and a wave for size. It felt weirdly out of place, so she lowered her hand quickly.
lookedtothestars: (Looking head on.)

[personal profile] lookedtothestars 2013-08-26 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hello," he replied, once he approached closer. The seeming familiarity did not disperse once he drew near; if anything, it had only increased.

"You are the first person I have seen here. Do you know where we are?" Someone knowing would be preferable, even if he himself did not.

"I have no idea," she admitted easily, still trying to place him in her mind. In doing so she realized just how empty her mind was. Who was she? How did she get here?

"But you're the first person I've seen too. Maybe we can figure it out together?" And maybe in the process she would remember her own name.

"We can certainly try. I would introduce myself, but I cannot remember who I am."

Which was also something to figure out, though the ominous feeling he could feel lurking here made this place the priority. While remembering his own name was important, it could wait, unless being here, what was wrong with this place, and not remembering who he was were all connected...

"Well it's nice to meet you anyway," Kara decided, letting him off easy on account of her not remembering her name either.

"I don't know who I am either. It's a pleasure, probably." She smiled brightly.
lookedtothestars: (Also looking forward.)

[personal profile] lookedtothestars 2013-09-04 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
"I suspect that the fact that we both do not remember or know where we are is connected."

This thought and the uneasy feeling emanating from the very place resulted in it suddenly being quite alarming.

"We should discover what is happening as soon as possible."

Her smile fell almost immediately. At his suggestion she glanced around, trying to determine if there was someplace they should be going, something they should be looking at. The scenery didn't help her at all.

"We should, I just... don't know how. Is there someplace with an inside?" She didn't particularly like it out here, with the way everything kept moving around. And it may have been her imagination, but it seemed like the odd sound was growing louder.
