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!

I move around just fine in my dress. [She smooths the fabric of her dress out with her hands, a little self-conscious but trying not to show it.] Manage t'ride a horse, fight with sword, and shoot a bow and arrow.

[And then she beams with pride.]

Even managed t'climb th'Crone's Tooth and drink from th'Fire Falls.
wingedwarrior: (I see what you did there)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-26 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[And thus, Shayera found a new friend.] You've got experience with weapons?

[Well well well, this girl's just full of surprises.] I have no idea where that is, but I'm guessing that's one impressive feat.
myownhand: (➛ imma tell you all the ways)

[personal profile] myownhand 2013-08-26 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
A'course I have experience with weapons. As my dad says "learnin' t'fight is essential". Though, my mother wasn't too happy that he taught me as much as he has.

[Though she knows her mother is more grateful now. However, she still puffs up with pride at the mention of her climb]

It's th'most amazin' thing. There're these waterfalls, way up on top of these cliffs, and when th'light hits 'em right, they light up! As if they were on fire.

[There had been many climbs up, and learning how to keep her footing, that day still stood out as one of her best memories to date.]
wingedwarrior: (it's only a flesh wound)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-26 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Your dad is a very smart man, let me just say that. You'll have to show me what you can do sometime, I haven't run into too many people skilled with weapons. [There's a handful of people, sure, but nothing like what she's used to.]

And you climbed up there? [The dress part, she'll roll with, because whatever works for someone works.] You're one tough as nails kid.
myownhand: (➛ imma bear imma bear)

[personal profile] myownhand 2013-08-26 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I rode past 'em most every time I got t'leave th'castle. They were just sittin' there laughin' at me. What was I supposed t'do? Let 'em win?

[Obviously she's joking about the laughing being literal. But still, the sentiment stands. Where there is a challenge, Merida will not let it sit for long. She's always strived to push herself as far as she can.]
wingedwarrior: (I know something you don't know)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-26 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Let me guess. You're the kind of person to pick a fight, aren't you? [Oh, she's going to get along swimmingly with this girl.]
myownhand: (➛ being a jack ass)

[personal profile] myownhand 2013-08-26 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't pick fights, they just happen t'start around me.

[....Which is actually true given how crazy life could get at the castle.]
wingedwarrior: (no I swear this is juice)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-26 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
And you naturally have no qualms with joining said fights. [Fighting is pretty much how you say "you're a person I like" with these two.]
myownhand: (➛ gettin' kinda fat there angus)

[personal profile] myownhand 2013-08-26 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
A'course not. I can take on anyone!

[And thus their bond was forged in fighting and badassery.]
wingedwarrior: (of couuurse you can hold a fight with me)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh yeah, she likes you, Mer.] And you're confident, too.

[Shayera holds out her hand for a shake.] Shayera Hol. And you are?
myownhand: (➛ i think i can make you understand)

[personal profile] myownhand 2013-08-27 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She takes the hand with a bit more confidence than the first time she had to shake hands.]

Merida of Clan DunBroch!

[There's a short pause before she asks quietly.]

Erm, does everyone shake hands 'round here? That's reserved more for th'knight folk where I'm from.
wingedwarrior: (all out of witty things to say)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-27 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's a normal greeting on Earth. Man, I'm going to have to brush up on my Earth history. [She knows jack shit of its past.]

I should probably mention I was just teasing about my wings. They're harmless, no spells or anything. There is a guy dressed like a bat around here, but he's harmless unless you get him mad. [y e p]

myownhand: (➛ i suck a sewing)

[personal profile] myownhand 2013-08-28 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
....Wait, so y'aren't even from Earth?


[SHE JUST GOT TO THAT PART SHAY. NOTHING ELSE.]
wingedwarrior: (can I call bullshit on all of you)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-28 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. I'm from a planet called Thanagar. [But Earth is home now for reasons.]
myownhand: (➛ ancient ruins)

[personal profile] myownhand 2013-08-31 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[...................]


So, uh, how d'y'end up on Earth, then?

[This has been a day for merida. a big day.]
wingedwarrior: (all out of witty things to say)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-31 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Its... [This is a party, and Shayera is having fun for once. She really doesn't want to ruin it with thoughts of the war.] a long story.
myownhand: (➛ whaaat are you saying?)

[personal profile] myownhand 2013-08-31 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Hesitance, a lot of people had that here. She was so used to her father's boastful pride at most any quest he went on-- then again, he did like to put a cloak over anything which wasn't pleasent. Nothing went "wrong" in his eyes, just 'awry'.

He didn' "need that leg"-- it wasn't bloody or traumatizing or the scariest thing she could remember.
]

Well, perhaps I can hear that story another time. [She'll skip over the topic though. She'd rather not break loose any unwanted feelings.]

And I guess it isn't that unusual t'meet someone who isn't from Earth. Though, I can hardly imagine it. [A bit of a nervous laugh] Just like I guess I couldn't imagine a life in th'future.
wingedwarrior: (I know something you don't know)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-31 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
... yeah. When the main focus isn't a giant party. [She speaks with a grin, the joy returning to her face.]

Brace yourself for plenty of surprises here, Merida. It's like someone's imagination is on full throttle here.
