Warnings/Rating: Please place content warnings in subject headers!

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.

[ After the last time, the turtle's descent doesn't bother Rikki too much. Sure, she's a little worried about a repeat of the zombie incident, but at least if the pattern holds they've got some time before that happens again...

But she notices the man on her way to work, looking panicky and out of it, and she can't help but approach. ]
Hey. [ She tilts her head a little, smile sympathetic. ] Are you alright?

[ He turns as the woman approaches him. His eyebrows come together as he sees her lips move, but there is a dull buzzing in his ears. Oh. The panic is setting in. But he takes a step back. His children will suffer will him if he lets himself choke on these feelings. The color of the world returns though it is muted.

Her expression. Yes, he knows what she's asking him -- the urge to lash out is there, but he's already feeling weak.
]

The water.

[ Oh, that. She glances up at the darkening sky, and then back at the man with a sympathetic smile. ]

Yeah, it's kind of freaky, huh? But it's okay, the turtle's done this before, and the barrier keeps it out...

[personal profile] barebacking 2013-08-18 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
The barrier?

[ Yaha looks up then -- and gives a very small nod. Drowning may only bring up memories that are best left asleep, even for one such as himself. He barks out a laugh, but it is one to ease the fear. ]

So, we continue to live.

[ She laughs softly, and nods. ] For the foreseeable future, yeah. Sorry, we should... probably make a habit of warning the newbies about this sort of thing.

[personal profile] barebacking 2013-08-19 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be nice, but there's no rush. People know now... [ He swallows thickly as he tips his head up to stare once more toward the waters. Ah, it'll keep it out. Right, right. Be no point to die so soon. No point. Ruin all the fodder. Ruin the battle. The battle to have them choke on blood rather than water. ]
withoutaworld: (what if no one's watching?)

[personal profile] withoutaworld 2013-08-24 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, at this point I guess people've probably noticed... [ She eyes him for a moment, still a little uncertain, and then offers: ] Do you, uh... want me to walk you home or anything? No offense, but you still don't look so great right now.

[personal profile] barebacking 2013-08-25 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That is very kind of you. But it seems I would be better just sitting here for the time being. [ He lightly pats his legs. ] My legs have gave in to the fear and shall need some time before I can stand.

[personal profile] withoutaworld 2013-08-26 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Rikki's lips twitch a little, but her smile's sympathetic, at least. ] Well, if you're sure... You gonna be okay hanging out here on your own?

...sorry, I don't mean to hover, it's just... kind of my job. Looking out for people. The job that doesn't pay ever...

[personal profile] barebacking 2013-08-26 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of what you do?

Could you explain that to me, please?
withoutaworld: (taken out of context I must seem strange)

[personal profile] withoutaworld 2013-08-31 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhh... [ She rubs a hand over the back of her neck and smiles sheepishly before shrugging and adding: ] I'm sort of a superhero?

[personal profile] barebacking 2013-08-31 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean sort of a superhero? I fear I've never heard that sort of ... title before.
withoutaworld: (taken out of context I must seem strange)

[personal profile] withoutaworld 2013-09-01 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I forget not everyone has those in their worlds.

We're... people with powers - or a whole lot of training, like me - who protect people who need it. Usually from other people with powers, because having superpowers doesn't stop you from being a jerk.

[personal profile] barebacking 2013-09-01 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Blink.

His head tilts just a little.
]

So, you're a knight, essentially?

[personal profile] withoutaworld 2013-09-05 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Umm... [ She hadn't considered it that way, like, ever, but it makes her smile a little now that she thinks about it. ] I guess I am, yeah.

[personal profile] barebacking 2013-09-05 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Marvelous. We can consider each other brothers and sisters in arms. I am also a knight of my world... [ Oh, how he wishes he could choke on his own tongue now, but he is not home. He is not home and so he keeps his snide comments to himself because he has nothing to back them up. Especially not now. ]
