Event | Sinbrilee | Bacchanal

Characters: Any and all!
Date: August 24 - 30th
Location: Sinbrilee
Situation: An ancient festival of an ancient city, all are welcome at the Bacchanal!
Warnings/Rating: Please label threads as appropriate.

Death and destruction cannot curtail the single most important festival celebrated by the denizens of Sinbrilee: The Bacchanal! The ghosts in and about the city have begun to gossip about high fashion and festivities, sending any that inquire to the Amphitheatre -- a grand, circular structure nestled in the west side of the city.

This structure bore the fall of Sinbrilee and the wear of time with dignity, having lost handfuls of archways and one long stretch of wall to crumbling decay. Despite this, it is obvious that the amphitheatre once hosted many a display and every more festivities than the mind can grasp. This was their solace and safety; here is where the people of Sinbrilee came to find the mind's escape from all that threatened them and their great turtle.

Ghosts have been busy throughout the week, clearing paths through debris and hanging great cloth banners of soft blues and greens to disguise the more blatant signs of its decline. Many hundreds of them shimmer and slid through the area, providing for tables upon tables of food, offering drink, and overseeing competition of sport and skill (some even denying death's non-corporeal curse to enter).

Here, well... Here is where the party begins!

Mm.

[An unfamiliar figure nudges her way through the party, suddenly at Hoffman's left side, nibbling at some delicate little dessert. She's no ghost, that much is certain, all fiery red hair and freckles and strong presence. She's not dressed especially fancy for the party...wearing a clean cut (if dated) outfit with a tie. Definitely a foreigner...DEFINITELY not from around here.

Her light eyes flick over the chalice in his hand, an eyebrow quirking just a touch.]


Quite a drink you have there.
dashesanddots: (that bustle with THAT skirt?)

[And to his right side, a man appears with similar appearance and especially similar style of dress, the outfit being a mirror image to her's but in mens fashion instead. He too has a small dessert plated in fancy style. He digs his equally delicate little fork into the treat.]

Indeed. I certainly hope you can handle your liquor. I hear that the drinks here--
dotsanddashes: (Heads?)

[personal profile] dotsanddashes 2013-08-25 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
--Are remarkably potent.

[She licks a bit of icing off of her lips, watching Hoffman with a straight face.]

[That is incredibly disconcerting. Hoffman stares between the two of them before setting down his half full tray of food and wiping his mouth. Huh. Okay.]

...I have experience. [He had a lucrative career as an alcoholic before all of this happened. Hoffman runs a hand through his hair, struggling to go back to police officer.]

You two...locals?

To Tu Vishan?

[Robert puts the bite of dessert in his mouth. Ah, wonderful. Such a light, sweet, but not overbearing flavor. Strawberry and lemon compliment each other very well.

He swallows.]


Afraid not.
dotsanddashes: (In the lab.)

[personal profile] dotsanddashes 2013-08-25 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Rosalind reaches around Hoffman to take a small spoonful of what's on Robert's plate, not particularly shy about getting a little close to the strange man. Mm. Definitely complimentary, yes.]

Just got here, actually.

[He tenses at the close contact. Visibly. There is something distinctly unnerving about two people addressing him like this. Out of nowhere.

His eyes narrow]


So just now enjoying the party. Detective Hoffman, with the local police department. It's nice to meet you.
dotsanddashes: (I see tails.)

[personal profile] dotsanddashes 2013-08-25 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Police, hm? Charmed, I'm certain.

[Backing up, she lifts her chin a little, tilting her head to one side. She's sizing him up, no doubt about that - taking him in. Flinchy. Was that a trait that was desirable in officers of the law? No matter.]

Rosalind--
dashesanddots: (fuck u say?)

[personal profile] dashesanddots 2013-08-25 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
--and Robert Lutece. A pleasure. [Robert does a little bit of looking Hoffman over as well. He didn't look like the best shape for a law enforcement officer either. Mm, oh well, not his business.]

[personal profile] givenanonymity 2013-08-26 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Are you two clones? Hoffman extends a meaty hand] So...you folks locals?
dashesanddots: (and i was like)

[personal profile] dashesanddots 2013-08-26 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Close enough. Robert puts his fork in the hand and slides the dessert plate in front of him. Go ahead. Taste it.]

No. I believe we already established this.
dotsanddashes: (Hm?)

[personal profile] dotsanddashes 2013-08-26 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Rosalind passes a napkin to Hoffman from the other side.]

We just got here. Are you certain that drink ISN'T too strong for you?
givenanonymity: (Default)

[personal profile] givenanonymity 2013-08-27 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh. Hoffman finds the two of you super disorienting. It's hard to keep track. Trucking from the woman to the man he sticks his hands in his pockets almost casually.]

Good desert right? [He points at it] Where are you from?
dotsanddashes: (I beg your pardon?)

[personal profile] dotsanddashes 2013-09-03 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Delicious.

[Hm. This fellow doesn't seem too sharp. Either that or he's quite inebriated. Did he just POCKET THE FORK? She raises an eyebrow.]

We're from-
dashesanddots: (serial killer robles)

[personal profile] dashesanddots 2013-09-03 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
-all places and all times outside of this one place. [I believe he did, dear sister. I believe he did pocket the fork.]
