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!

You are simply being polite.

But I thank you for it. [She glances to the side, noticing one man spin another lady. She looks back at Jehan.] May we try that?

[He looks over and nods before starting to spin her]

[She manages to spin out, but getting back to their previous position proved surprisingly difficult, crashing into him.]! Oh! M'sieur Prouvaire! Are you alright?
poeticverses: (Speaking)

[He gets elbowed a bit close to some sensitive bits and he doubles over a little]

A bit winded, but I can honestly say I've had worse!

[He's playing off, but...ow.]
jondrette: (you're kind of an idiot)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-08-29 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
M'sieur, I assure you I meant no harm! [She drapes an arm over his back, trying to help support him.] I told you I was the one that was no dancer.

[He waves her off. He's fine, he's fine]

No, no, you were doing quite well! You merely misstepped, it happens to everyone.
jondrette: (hope)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-08-29 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Alright, she'll let go.] If you insist, m'sieur.

It would be wrong of me to ask you to finish the dance with me, would it not?

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-29 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
No, not at all.

[He straightens up, wincing a little]

If you are willing, then so am I.
jondrette: (promise)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-08-29 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
But you are in pain! I should not wish to cause you more discomfort for my own enjoyment. [Wow. That's a first.]
poeticverses: (Default)

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-29 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I have had worse, I assure you. If you wish to dance, then we can finish ours.
jondrette: (happiest ever)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-08-29 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
M'sieur you have asked me what I wanted! [She grins all toothily at him, before grabbing his hands again.] Then yes, let us finish our dance! It is the first one I've had with any such gentleman, after all, and I wish for it to end better than it has.
poeticverses: (Shy)

[personal profile] poeticverses 2013-08-29 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Then it shall.

[He smiles, ignoring the soreness of his gut, and rejoins the dance]

[She follows his lead again, not daring to suggest a twirl this time. She's fine with a simple step.]
