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.

Piper can relate to that pretty well. She doesn't feel like a freak, but she does feel out of place sometimes, especially when up against the other demigods like Percy or Jason or even Annabeth, who doesn't exactly have powers but other skills.

"Yeah, I bet. So... You're not human, then?"

"Not from Earth," she corrected cautiously, eying the girl for a reaction. She mostly just seemed curious.

"I'm from a planet called Krypton. It's being someplace else that gives me powers."

She wonders about the implication of that. Are you still human if you're not from Earth, or are you an alien? For that matter, if you're from a different planet, does that make people from Earth aliens?

This is way too deep.

"So you're a human from a different planet? I didn't even realize that was possible." There's no judgement in her voice, there's definite curiosity. A little bit of awe. "Not that I really know if there is life on other worlds where I'm from. Earth is complicated enough."
notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (but what does it mean?)

Short answer: yes.

"Apparently there's life on a lot of different planets. You should talk to some of the Green Lanterns some time, they'd know more about it than I would." Although she was also curious, she only knew about her own planet and what little she's been able to learn about Earth.

Piper wonders if that life has annoying gods, too.

“Who are the Green Lanterns?” What is reading comics and stuff? Sounds like something out of a movie her dad would probably take a role for.

"They're some sort of intergalactic police force, I think." Kara had never heard of them before here either, and she hadn't spent much time at all trying to fill in the gaps.

"How do you just decided to go ahead and police the whole galaxy? Did someone vote for them?" Of course, they're more rhetorical questions than real ones. The I think gives it away that she doesn't really need to know, but the idea is interesting to Piper.

Maybe she'll ask Annabeth.

"I have no idea," she admitted easily. "We never managed space travel on Krypton. If there was an election we weren't involved in it." Which actually made the whole idea of the Green Lantern Corps a little illicit. She had never thought about it that seriously before.

"I guess it's alright as long as they're helping people."

"I guess a higher power could have done it."

After all, it's not like mortals know about the gods and demigods, and while heroes don't exactly police the world, they're there to save it. To lead it, too.

"The intention is what matters first," she agrees.
