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.

Nothing like an additional person and a dragon popping from nowhere. Toph had been so absorbed by the egg that she hadn't been paying much attention to her seismic sense -- and therefore gives a quick twitch of startlement that almost results in both new presences getting a face full of rock.

Fortunately she has better control than that, and no one needs to Hulk out or breathe fire in return. Even so, she gives a little shudder to steady herself, causing the rock underneath them to briefly ripple like the tiny waves in a pond. This egg is a little dangerous; she's never that off-guard.

"It's alive." She reaches a hand to touch the shell, palm resting against the curved surface. "There's definitely something in there. It's huge. And it's strong."

Now a dragon. Okay. Bruce just forces himself to accept that and move on, though he's somewhat wary of how fast she could set off an incident if she decided to. No, she doesn't even know what an incident is, he tells himself; he needs to relax.

Bruce can't resist his curiosity, and comes forward with them, looking at the egg in more detail. He doesn't miss how the rock ripples under Toph, and that is decidedly one of the weirder powers he's seen since he's been here, but he's not about to divert the conversation to comment on it.

"Given the size, somehow I'm thinking turtle," he says wryly, making the logical deducation. "What I meant was, anyone know why we were... drawn here? It's not just me, right?" That would be too much of a coincidence.

Iskierka doesn't miss the movement of the floor, either, and is briefly startled into hovering. She lands after a few moments, however, and scoots close to nudge at the egg with her snout, tilting her head.

"It was not just you, no," she replies, but most of her attention is on the egg. "I was looking about and it seemed I was told to come here," she adds absently, and nudges the egg again, very gently.

"Hello," she continues, talking to the egg now. "Can you hear me? We can hear people outside before we have hatched, I am only wondering if it is the same for you."
