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!

[ She gives a little laugh. ]

Well, I have a feeling I would use up all my compliments for the night and have none to shower on anyone else, so maybe we can just call it a tie and move on?
bludhavenknight: ([B] Bat!Dick getting his flirt on)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-08-29 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I can live with that. It's probably best, those compliments do have an expiration date. [He grinned, leading her back to the dance floor.]

And yes, they really do. You can't use the same compliments you would have used back in '95 or something.
dunhaming: (better put a ring on it)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-09-03 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ She is always down for more dancing. Dancing is a fantastic thing. ]

Well, you could, but you'd get funny looks. They might think you belong in the loony house. Oh wait, that's already where we are. [ A grin. ] There, I think you've won the Free Parking of compliments.
bludhavenknight: ([D] I see what you did)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-08 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Is that what this is, a loony bin? Because I've seen the inside of one of those, and this is a lot nicer then that. [Dick grins, dipping her back.]

I hate Free Parking. That and dark blue, what's dark blue again? [Asks softly as he brings her back up.]
dunhaming: (my face is kawaii)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-09-11 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
A luxury loony bin. But really, think about it. We're trapped on a giant turtle with no way out, and currently we're dancing in some underwater ancient dead city with ghosts at a party. Doesn't that seem just a bit loony to you?

[ Her tone is lighthearted and a bit joking in keeping with the mood at hand, but it is something that keeps her up at night sometimes, and there's a tiny pause for reflection before she brings her attention to Monopoly and makes a small face. ]

What? Who hates Free Parking? All that extra money that everyone has been so grudgingly donating the whole game... [ Dreamy. She loves winning. Free Parking is such a nice thing to win. ] Blue though... Florida Ave, Park Place, and Boardwalk.
bludhavenknight: ([D] Some tea while sick)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-14 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, the only thing crazy about all that is that this happened on a Tuesday, and I'm usually prepared for it on Friday.

[He matches it, because it was crazy. It really was. But it's not something that keeps him up at night. Other things did, and that didn't include the nightly outings. Maybe the longer he was here, the more it would get to him. But after so much despair back home...

He wouldn't choose anything else over dancing with Olivia under the sea with ghosts serving food, before they had to make their way back to their homes on a giant turtle.]


Wait. [He pauses.] You win money on Free Parking!?
dunhaming: (it's cinco de drinko every day)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-09-18 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Please, everyone knows that the days you're supposed to have off of work are when everything happens.

[ That gets an eyeroll, but it's decidedly fond. It's so rare she gets time off from work without interruption and gets to do something fun like this. It's one of the good things about being here. But then she gives him an "r u serious" look. ]

Have you never played Monopoly? When you land on Free Parking, you get the money in the middle of the board.
bludhavenknight: (Default)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-21 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that right? [Dick laughs.] And here I thought that it's the days that you work that everything happens. Definitely feels that way, everything piles up.

[A day off from work doesn't happen for Dick. Not unless he's so sick he can't do anything, or injured. And even then, that won't stop him. He's gone on patrols with a bad arm, taking it out of a sling and pretending it's fine. But the look he gives her is just bewildered.]

I've played Monopoly! But never with money in the middle of the board.
dunhaming: (the ballsiest level)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-09-23 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well there's never any shortage of work, but the worst stuff always happens when I'm supposed to be doing something wonderful on my day off.

[ There's never a shortage of shit hitting the fan, never. ]

You put the tax money in the middle.

[ She rolls her eyes a bit and shrugs. ]

Must be a difference between our worlds.
bludhavenknight: (Default)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-28 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry to hear that. [And he is. Something terrible happening on a day off? Come on. he might not have them, but he can definitely sympathize.]

Probably a difference, but also probably I play with people who throw rules out the window, no matter what the game. [He laughed.] By the way, what do you do? I've never asked that yet, and here we are dancing. I should probably have an idea.
dunhaming: (all good things start with a threesome)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-09-30 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Teasing: ] Oh, what, you don't like dancing with people you hardly know?

[ But really, what does she do... It's always so hard to describe what Fringe Division does, she's used to people just knowing. ]

Well, I work for a subset of the Department of Defense known as Fringe Division. When weird things happen, mostly when people die in weird ways, we deal with that. Investigate what happened, how it happened, catch the perpetrators. Nothing fantastic, but I like it. What about you?

I'm terrified of dancing with someone I hardly know. [He laughs, grinning broadly at her.] What happens if I'm dancing with the queen of Planet Mongo, or a highly paid assassin?

[He teases her back, but is quiet as he listens to what she does.] So, you work for the government in finding really weird things. And that's not fantastic? It sounds pretty fancy to me, does that mean I should call you agent? [More teasing.]

Well... do you want to know what I was doing before I came here, or what I've done? Because there's some big differences.
dunhaming: (drunkenly making hamburger helper)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-10-08 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm queen of my own world, but don't be overly concerned about that. [ Yeah, she actually said that. ]

Usually people only call me "Agent Dunham" when there's a corpse. So unless you've got a corpse for me to investigate, not really.

And I would love to know both, considering most of what I've been doing here has been trying to open a bakery.
