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.

Only your name. [Well, can't exactly lie about that.

Superman suit though-- she was told of this. She hadn't observed it properly before the hug, but seeing it now reminds her of Dinah. Which means...]


Kal. [This was getting easier to mention, though it still made her feel bed.] Unfortunately, if what I was told was indeed true, I do not meet you officially for a while longer. Forgive me, I had not realized my arrival would cause this.

Kal shakes his head, offering his hand out for her to shake. If they have to start afresh they better do it properly.

"It's hardly your fault, and you're not the first one. Knowing this place you probably won't be the last, either. I'm sorry about- well, the hug. And I think I scared away your ghostly friend..."

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-08-26 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Scared away? Hardly. I believe she misunderstood the situation." She's resigned herself to this, though tries not to sound like she's just reciting a line again and again.

"Still, I believe it does get quite frustrating to be faced with that. I would be terribly disappointed if my sisters could not recognize me either."

"Oh. Well, still I apologize."

He couldn't lie, it was the tiniest bit disappointing... but that didn't mean he wasn't glad to see her. He was, and he already had experience in dealing with people from the past or with different memories in this place. The fact that it was his best friend after Bruce who didn't remember him- well. It would make it harder, but not impossible.

"This must be overwhelming for you, to be compared to someone else from the start. I apologize."

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-08-29 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"To compare me to myself only means that I should exceed that expectation." Well, she can't say it didn't frustrate her at the beginning, but learning to accept the inevitable is a sign of maturity, and perhaps a step closer to understanding a new world.

"Besides, believe it or not, it makes it easier in a way that I have allies before I had realized it."

whoops just saw I changed the format :| sorry

He gives her a wide smile, nodding. That sounds a lot like something the Diana in his world would say, and the thought is reliving- even if it makes him feel a bit guilty to think that when he had just apologized for comparing her.

It's just nice, to see her again after all these months on the turtle.

"You do. I know this will sound weird and hard to believe when you don't know me at all, but you can count on me for anything you need or want... even though right now we're on the same boat, Sinbrilee is as strange to me as it must be to you."

lmao it's okay I didn't even notice

"As I have learned," She starts, straightening up to observe him a little more closely. She's curious as to how she had met him, prior to the hug, but she can tell that he is trustworthy. Plenty of people she has met since arriving have been, which was a pleasant surprise. Also, a much better reception than her first few hours in America.

"People here are a lot friendlier than I could have imagined. I find the culture much easier to integrate myself into. Still, I do admit I miss home nonetheless. It has been a while since I have been able to talk to my mother." Not to mention Steve, but that was another discussion altogether.

Hippolyta. Last Clark knew of her she'd gotten rid of Granny Goodness and become the Queen of the Amazon's again, but the way there hadn't been easy. This Diana is so young... he wonders if she's going to go through the same. He hopes she has it easier.

"I'm glad your experience has been good, most people seem to have a 'teamwork' attitude in this place, which will be beneficial in the long run, I think.

I have been here for almost a year already."

Luckily for her, the worst of her experience so far had only been to stop the god of war from causing World War Ares. Given she managed to control that, she'd like to think her life was infinitely better than most people would expect.

"I have noticed. This network that people use to communicate with each other has given me a good idea of how most of them interact. It is simple, but effective, and certainly has given an avenue for trust. I suppose this is also true for day to day living?"

She pauses at that. A year! A flash of worry crosses her face at the thought, and while she knows that time doesn't pass in their world (or at least, she was told it didn't), it made her worry nonetheless of the people she left behind. "Longer than I initially expected, though I suppose a year is still short for plenty."

A sheepish smile and a nod, he still has to take a moment to process how long he's been in this place when he stops to think about it, and he actually lived it. But even though it must be even more shocking to newcomers to hear about it he still thinks it's a good way to let them know getting out is not an easy task.

"I actually had it easy, Lois was in here with me so that made it infinitely easier- even if I do miss Ma." A beat. "Lois is my wife, she also knows the you in our world. She'll be happy to see you, if you would like to meet her."

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-09-06 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
"If you could introduce us, I would be honored. It seems like I have made many friends in the future." It wasn't that she didn't think it was possible, she just didn't expect so many in one go.

"I think, in a way, I am glad that they are not here. Though my sisters may disagree, given some of them would enjoy the idea of a good fight."
andaway: (I'll track you down girl)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-07 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
He laughs a bit at that. "I guess your sisters are the same in every universe. But yes, you are welcome to come have dinner at our home any time now." Lois and Diana were friends, they got along when Lois stopped comparing herself to the amazon.

"Meanwhile, we could get to know the place together if you'd like?"

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-09-09 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course." Unlike some people, Clark has been very polite (despite the initial hug) and that's always a good thing in her book. Diana wasn't naive, no, but she likes giving people a chance if they show reason for her to. He seemed nice enough, she could easily imagine being friends with him, but she'd rather it be her terms and not some other version of her's connection. "Perhaps you can tell me more about yourself as we explore."

He shrugs as he starts on walking, a smile on his lips. It's always weird to explain who you are to someone who supposedly already knows about you (better than most people even, in Diana's case) but he figures no matter what he tells her she'll eventually form her own opinion of him...

"I can tell you about me as long as you tell me about you. How does that sound?"
