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.

Bryn doesn't notice the man right away, not until he gets closer and it is all too apparent that he is there and does not care that he is in the nude. It's refreshing to see someone else at ease with such things, not shying from the fact that they're in mixed company...

Except perhaps he hasn't noticed her because he settles nearby and...starts dozing off.

Alarmed, she crosses the distance, reaches out to touch his arm. "Uhm, excuse me?"

Sei's skin is warm to the touch but one eye cracks open to look at her, and then he sighs. He really hadn't noticed her, but he'd been enjoying his nap, dammit.

"...Is there something?"

Bryn pulls her hand back with a little frown at that reaction. She hadn't meant to disturb him but...

"I was just making sure you didn't drift off," she says, expression somewhat concerned. "Last thing we need another ghost joining the group here, right?"
leviathaned: (But everybody tries)

He looks down at her now, opening both his eyes now and sitting up. He scrutinizes her, wondering if she had another reason for approaching him or if she was really that carelessly naive.

Well, there was only one way to find out.

"...I'm not going to drown, doll. My luck's not that bad yet."

"Sleeping in water isn't safe unless you have some ability to breathe under water or something," she replies with a purse of her lips. Though, considering the fact that he's like, nearly two feet taller than her, it's entirely possible he could sit and still have his head above water...

Sorry Sei, culturally speaking Bryn is part Kouhyaran, and she can't just turn that protective side of her personality on and off like a light switch. It simply doesn't work that way.
leviathaned: (If in my darkest hour)

He exhales through his nose and arches an eyebrow. Being mother-henned is...something of a new experience for him, so he's looking for the other shoe to drop. When it doesn't immediately, he stretches, popping joints and bones that...don't currently exist.

"I think me ending up with my head underwater is unlikely, sweetheart. Not unless someone plans to put me there."

"Can't think of anyone planning to put you there, just wanted to make sure you didn't slip accidentally under while asleep," she says after a moment, a faint smile on her lips. "And my name is Bryn."

Not that she minds being called doll or sweetheart, but only when it's by people who already know her name and are doing it affectionately.
leviathaned: (It is the music of a people)

"Oh, give it twenty minutes, I'm good at inspiring that." He smirks, before inclining his head just slightly in acknowledgement. There was no point in him not introducing himself in return. "...It's Sei."

"Nice to meet you, Sei," she says, with some slight emphasis on the "nice" in her sentence because she is taking that response as a challenge. That's right. Just for that, she's determined to like you, Sei, whether you want her to or not. "New to Tu Vishan, I assume? Don't think I've seen you around before."
