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.

[Jaime hadn't actually been intending to take a bath here. At least not yet. The place is beautiful, sure, but how much can you really trust mysterious clear pools of water? He'd gotten enough of that stuff last month, thanks much. But curiosity and cats. You know the drill.

In any case, it seems like he's wandered in at a downtime; he hasn't seen anybody around, which is the perfect time to try to get a better look at this bathwater and whether it's secretly got mind controlling compounds attached to it or something. Taking great care not to fall in, he approaches one of the pools--
]

Oh my God.

[--annnnnnd spots an improbably hot and also unclothed woman in it, too little too late. Like a good little gentleman a hand flies right up to cover his eyes, but he's already gotten a view and oh god he's tomato red already help.]

I didn't know anyone was here! I'm sorry! I didn't see anything!
bankrolls: = (of course i can walk in those heels)

ssshhh no please. dont be sorry. never be sorry for this. never

[ In retrospect, it was probably a little much to hope for that she'd actually get some peace and quiet. After all, the baths are practically too good to be true. It's not like Selina doesn't know she's not alone in the city -- there are plenty other people exploring Sinbrilee's abandoned streets -- but seriously, what are the odds that just as she's starting to really relax, she gets interrupted by Captain Teen Awkward over here?

Apparently they're pretty good if your name is Selina Kyle.

Selina rolls her eyes exaggeratedly, though okay, it is kind of amusing. She rises from the bath, reaching for a towel, and with no apparent hurry -- the kid's embarrassment isn't only genuine, it's palpable, and she doesn't think he has the guts to peek again. She wraps the towel around herself, lightly shaking some of the water from her hair. ]


If you didn't see anything, you wouldn't be doing an incredibly convincing impression of a human tomato. Relax, kid, I'm not gonna hurt you.
escarabajo: (Jaime: ooh space breeze)

[Don't blame yourself, Selina-- Jaime's a magnet for trouble. Really.]

Um. [His eyes are good and covered, and from the sound of Selina leaving the water? So is she, now. He takes the opportunity to peek through his fingers to confirm: annnnd yep, he's most definitely safe. His hand falls to his side.] Right. Like I said, I, er, thought the place was empty already.

[He sheepishly rubs at the back of his neck.] Sorry. Again.
bankrolls: = (wanna take a ride?)

SORRY NOT SORRY :')

[ Okay, she really is trying not to laugh, now. She's been spied on by much more enterprising teenage boys, and compared to them, Jaime seems so harmless she has a hard time, well, taking him seriously. She swallows her laughter as best she can and just rolls her eyes, securely tucking the towel around her torso. ]

What, you've never seen a naked lady before? Kid, please.

[ And then, because she really can't resist, she gives him a devilish grin. ]

You keep apologizing, I'm gonna start wondering whether or not you're really sorry.
escarabajo: (Jaime: FACEPALM)

SOB SELINA

[He's STILL averting his eyes as she finishes wrapping the towel around her body, taking great interest in the ceiling. And the floor. And also the wall. Poor kid's too much of a goody two shoes to avoid being teased.]

No, I mean it, really! And, well, sort of? I don't know if my kid sister counts. But that's not a lady, that's-- you know what, I'm just gonna shut up now before I do any more damage.

[Take pity on him, Selina. His face is the picture of apologetic.]

bankrolls: = (you're stupid. i like that in a man.)

OK IM A LITTLE SORRY. JUST A LITTLE. SORRY JAIME :')

[personal profile] bankrolls 2013-09-17 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, okay, she really can't help it now -- she laughs, but only briefly, cutting herself off with a little snort. It's only because you're so awkward and adorable, Jaime. ]

Okay, okay, you're off the hook, kid. Chill out, okay? Seriously, we're cool. You want the bath, it's all yours.
escarabajo: (Jaime: i threw up in my bug suit)

so cruel u_u

[Beautiful woman laughing at him. It's a step up from the senior girls laughing at him, but yeowch, how embarrassing. He scuffs a foot against the floor, as if the fidgeting'll help dispel his shame. (It won't.)]

I, uhm. I wasn't actually here for a bath. I was mostly curious about the water itself. I mean, it's so... nice, but I haven't seen any people around to maintain it. Who aren't ghosts. And I don't know how much I buy that there are ghost pool boys hanging around and scooping leaves out of the baths.
bankrolls: = (holly get off the line)

ITS OK JAIME YOURE STILL ADORABLE

[personal profile] bankrolls 2013-09-29 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, huh. I guess I hadn't thought about it.

[ That's a lie, it had totally crossed her mind, but she had shrugged it off and dismissed it as ultimately unimportant in the face of a miraculously hot bath. Selina has priorities, okay. She dips a toe back into the water experimentally. ]

Magic or something, I guess.
escarabajo: (Jaime: Do not want.)

[personal profile] escarabajo 2013-10-01 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
That "or something" makes me feel way confident about all of this. Just saying.

[But he's not too weirded out by it to notice that the water does look, well, amazing. Maybe later.]

I'm Jaime, by the way. Sorry I interrupted your bath.
