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!

Dancing

[personal profile] fuzzyelf 2013-08-26 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Parties like this were his sort of thing. Music, formal wear, drinks flowing and tables of food. Kurt had managed to get something together. While not exactly what he'd wear back home, he could make do. His outfit consisted of black pants and a jacket to match with tails at the back and a dark red waist coat to work with his blue fuzz. Hey, if he didn't have access to his own closet, that didn't mean he could be stylish while on the turtle.

Now, he hadn't spoke with Wanda but he knew she was here, a different one to the one back home. Not that it mattered either way. He spotted her in what could only be described as a gorgeous gown and made his way over to her. He bowed slightly when he reached her and smiled as he held out a hand for her.

Would such a fine lady care to dance?

[Wanda hadn't spent much time with other mutants in Keeliai. There are only a few at best she's acquainted with, and generally speaking she's avoided those with ties to the X-Men. However, she recognizes this one as he bows before her. One she helped rescue from a facility a few years ago, and with his good manners, she finds it hard to decline.

So she places her hand in his with a polite smile.]


Yes, I believe I would.
fuzzyelf: (Dashing)

[Having her accept the invitation to dance was enough to make his smile grow. Kurt had liked Wanda and he wasn't going to put any expectations on this woman. This Wanda he would like the chance to get to know, a complete clean slate because it was never fair to judge someone by a version yo knew. After all they could be completely different and not made the same choices as each other.

So with her hand in his, he led her onto the dance floor, being careful and avoiding bumping into other people, keeping the way clear for Wanda herself.

After getting to a spot less busy he turns to her, keeping his hand turned up to cradle hers and takes a step in to place his other hand just above the small of her back.

I haven't danced in a while, so I'll try my best to avoid any toes.

[Wanda arranges her hands as he does, letting him take one as the other rests just below his shoulder. She's known how to dance properly for years, and so it's as simple as riding a bike to find the correct positioning and distance so that he can lead them around the carpeted floor.]

I think we'll be fine since I still have my shoes, but I'll keep my heels away from yours.

[Tilting her head.]

You're Nightcrawler, yes?
fuzzyelf: (Flirt)

[personal profile] fuzzyelf 2013-08-28 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles and chuckles as he leads her into a dance gently. Keeping in time with the music, dancing was easy, it was fun and he loved to do it. Just recent events didn't exactly leave a lot of room for it. Which was a shame.]

That would be appreciated.

[His tail curls just a little and flicks behind him.]

Kurt, please. Nightcrawler is my work name so it's not really needed here. I take it you know of, or know a version of me?

[personal profile] doesthemath 2013-08-29 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wanda lifts her chin slightly as they dance, posture straight but her arms relaxed as he guides them with the beat of the music.]

Yes, but only in passing. We've never played for the same team.

[She gives a tight smile, but her tone is such that it seems she's merely stating a fact. Wanda has no intention of talking about her Brotherhood days, or the capture and treatment of mutants, including Kurt, in her world. It's just assumed he will likely understand.]

Would it be safe to say you at least know of another version of me?
fuzzyelf: (Dashing)

[personal profile] fuzzyelf 2013-08-29 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah yes, he picks up on it well enough to to press the matter with any questions. Some things are just better left unsaid and Kurt will respect that. Sometimes topics are too hard to talk about or they come from a moment in the past that there's just no need to bring up. Kurt has a few.

So he continues to dance, sweeping across the dancefloor, still mindful of other couples dancing around them.
]

I do, like you, we were never on the same team and I only had a few interactions. [One event in particular was memorable and yet he was sure this woman in front of him had heard all about it. That was one he had no intention of mentioning as it was a different person so there was no point.]

Though I always wished I could have spoken to her more. She always seemed like such a wonderful lady. I'm sure that's something that's shared with you.

[Wanda raises an eyebrow at the comment about her being a wonderful lady. Their universes must be different indeed, and Wanda has to admit she's surprised to hear him speak positively about the other Wanda. People certainly don't say things like that about her, and she didn't nearly wipe out the mutant race.]

You'll have to find that out for yourself, I'm afraid. Not knowing the other version of me, I can hardly confirm that you're correct.

[Letting him turn them about the floor, she decides to change the subject.]

Are you with the X-Men back home? Or independent?
fuzzyelf: (What was that?)

[personal profile] fuzzyelf 2013-08-31 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was horrible what she did, but he couldn't agree with what people were suggesting and, well he doesn't know if she had actually meant what she said or if it was just a cause of what had happened in that world. But there had been a lot of good she had done before that, she'd been an Avenger and everyone was allowed second chances, sometimes fifth and sixth. He was best friends with Wolverine.]

That's something I'm willing to do.

[He smiles just a little more.]

Back home they're my family. I owe them everything. And you, are you with a team?

[personal profile] doesthemath 2013-09-01 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wanda barely keeps herself from wrinkling her nose. She's not a big fan of the X-Men, but she can at least appreciate his feelings of family closeness and obligation. Tossing her hair over her shoulder a moment, she nods.]

The Ultimates. I believe in other worlds they're known as the Avengers? My brother and I have been with them for a few years now.

[And through a few crises in the process. Things were slightly dysfunctional in ways, certainly no one on the team could be considered a wholly good person, but they got the job done and she felt like she fit with them in some ways more than she ever had with the Brotherhood.]

None of the team is here, unfortunately.
fuzzyelf: (Serious face r serious)

[personal profile] fuzzyelf 2013-09-05 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[The Ultimates, it wasn't something he was familiar with back home or on Tu Vishan, but the Avengers, that was something he knew. He nods as she explains that's what they were called in her 'verse and that Pietro was also with her. Some things didn't change then and were multiverse wide. He smiles as he leads her into another turn.]

It's a difficult thing to make a decision on, is it good that they aren't here, having to go through the same hardships, or is it bad because having friends is always easier and a team is more likely to get things done.

[He felt like that. Like he missed his friends and selfishly wanted them to be here. But then there's remembering that things haven't always been fun and games on the turtle.]

Maybe some of them might show up.
