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!

Food & Drink | Music, Discussions, & Dancing | Wrestling & Competitions

[Don't worry Dick, Clark chokes down a laugh over here because they have the same sense of humor. And the same sense of humor a 5 year old would have but whatever, it works for Clark.]

Me dancing should be considered a natural disaster. [Literally, maybe. A clumsy Superman is a dangerous thing indeed :(]

I'm glad to hear that. [And it shows, with the way his shoulders relax and his smile turns wider. Maybe he should stop being overprotective of Dick. He probably will one day. But today is not that day.] Are you enjoying the party as well?
bludhavenknight: ([D] I love teaching kids)

<333

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-01 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, but it's a great sense of humor. And if it's the same as a five year olds, then so be it! It's still hilarious to them.]

If we sign a petition and get enough signatures, we could probably make that happen. [Hey, he's not judging. Maybe he should get Kyle and they can drag Clark out onto the dance floor. That would be great.

But he prefers it when Clark is relaxed. Because he should be. Dick is doing just fine. It's nice to have someone who's protective of him, it does. But he's grown up. And he has protection of his own to do.]


Yeah, I'm having a pretty good time. [Dick nods.] These things are... this isn't really my thing. Dancing is nice, sure, but I kind of just want a beer? A couple of beers, and go sit at the top of [He points to a large part of the wall, pretty high up.] that. That is more my speed. But the party isn't bad! Reminds me of home, except for the Olympics going on in that corner.
andaway: (Now I'm a man)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-03 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I would sign that petition, and I'm sure Lois would be the first to do it.

[He motions towards one of the pair of ghosts holding a jug with a sheepish grin.] Well, it's no beer but the wine in this place is one of the best I've tried.

[Yes, Superman drinks alcohol. He doesn't particularly like the taste and it's not like he can actually get drunk but that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy a drink or two every now and then.] And I'm sure neither of us would have any trouble getting to a high spot, if you'd like.

We can even find one with views to the 'Olympics' since they seem to have caught the attention. [Teeease]
bludhavenknight: ([D] much more interesting)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-11 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Of course she would! She probably heard us right now talking about it, and is drafting it up as we speak. No offense to you, but she is the best journalist I have ever met, and can sniff everything out. [And a lot better then Vicki Vale. Or, a lot nicer then her.

He looks at the jug and then gives Clark a sly grin. Superman drinks alcohol! Can he get drunk? Dick was fairly certain he couldn't, but now he had to wonder if wine was his first choice, and if it wasn't, what was?]
Then it has to be good, right? And there's plenty of it, do you know if it's all the same kind, or do we get a choice?

[He pauses, glancing at where the games are taking place, and then at the ghosts.] Think they'd let us take a jug or two if we decided that watching naked men wrestle from a tall place was definitely our thing?
andaway: ([Holds back laugh])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-12 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Clark's laughter should be a pretty evident indicative that no, he doesn't mind Dick saying that at all. He's been Mr Lane for decades now, there's really no doubt about it when it comes to determining who is the best reporter- not that Clark doesn't have his pride, he's working in one of the best newspapers in the entire world and fights for headlines with their best reporter. He's just realistic when it comes to Lois.

So he decides to focus on his second question.
] I've only seen wine around, which is fine by me. I only drank beer when I was visiting Pa in Kansas. [He never liked the flavor much, but he was never able to say no to Pa.] Let's ask? The ghosts seem nice enough.
bludhavenknight: ([D] Say it again)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-14 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Laughter always helps to bolster one's spirits, and Dick is no exception. Not that he had been in any way upset lately, but still, it was nice to hear. He'd spent some time with people who didn't laugh, lately, though he was sure he'd gotten a smile or two from one of them.

But the Nightwing costume had really thrown him for a loop that he wasn't prepared to deal with. So now he got to sit back and relax with one of his favorite people?]
So not a beer fan. I'll remember that.

[Yeah, he really will remember that. And Dick gives him a beaming grin and goes to grab one of the ghosts. Sort of. You know, grab in the sense of... you know what, he just goes to talk to them, and when he comes back, he's got two, fairly large jugs, one in each hand.]

They really are nice. No straws, though, not even crazy ones.
andaway: (And I know what's happening)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-16 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Clark is hiding his laughter with a hand when Dick comes back holding the jugs. Of course Dick was be able to convince the ghosts to give him the jugs, Dick would have been able to sell sand in a desert if needed.]

Alright, so we've got the drinks. Next step is getting to a higher point- do you need my help with that, or would you rather climb? [Or: 'Do you want me to fly you there?' in the Secret-Identity language.]
bludhavenknight: (Default)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-21 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He could definitely sell sand in a desert. It's along the same lines as selling the Brooklyn bridge, right? Right? In any case, two jugs were pretty easy to get, and was he ever glad about that.]

Is that even a question? [Dick grins. Come on, how long have you known him, Clark? Of course he's not going to pass up a chance to be flown anywhere.]

Besides, someone has to hold on to these. [He raises his hands.] And I don't know if they should ferment anymore.
andaway: ([Content])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-24 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Clark quickly nods, he was already expecting that answer to begin with. He motions- outside, further away from the crowd so people won't wonder where did Clark Kent go and why is Superman suddenly standing in his place.]

I'll pick you up over there, give me a couple of minutes.
bludhavenknight: (Default)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-09-28 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yes sir. [He tries to salute with one hand holding the jug, and promptly hits himself in the face with it. If he turns quickly enough away, maybe Clark won't see that?]

Shit. [He mutters under his breath, and walks away normally. Sort of normally. More like a bouncing over that-away, prying off one of the corks with his teeth and taking a drink. Just another guy getting drunk on some wine. Bruce can play the drunk one without drinking, but Dick cannot figure out a good way to do that. He just looks like the guy pretending to be drunk at a party to make people laugh.

Yeah, he's going to wait over there.]
andaway: (I'll track you down girl)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-29 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[If Kal noticed, he doesn't comment on it when he lands in front of him wearing the Superman outfit- even if he is obviously trying to hold back a chuckle. Sorry Dick, at least he's trying to act as if nothing had happened?]

Hello there, Mister Gayson. Ready for a flight?
bludhavenknight: (Default)

I know it's a typo but I am cracking up at Mr. Gayson.

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-10-04 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh thank god he's not laughing at him. He's trying not to laugh at him, but he's doing Dick such a favor by not. Except he knows he knows, and he's trying not to laugh, so maybe it didn't really work out or anything.

WHATEVER, he is not going to think about that, because if he does, he's going to miss out on the whole flying experience.]


Hello Superman! Yes sir, I am ready, willing, and able to go flying, now that you're here. [He beams at him, slightly bouncing on his toes. He will never get over the little kid excitement at this.]
andaway: (But I will not stir)

was it a typo WAS IT (yes it was)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-10-07 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Speaking to Dick is always a weird mixture of speaking to an actual adult and speaking to the child he once was. Clark can't say he minds, it brings out his own inner child and Rao knows he could use to let him out more these days.

He grins at him once he's confident he really isn't going to break into laughter, arms wide open.
]

Ready when you are, and please don't call me 'sir'. Makes me feel old!
bludhavenknight: ([D] Photos of my family)

OKAY SO I understand if you don't want to continue, but I would love to, so ;; Your call!

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-10-30 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[It's been nice to be able to relax like this. Not that he hasn't been trying, and succeeding every so often. But he had to put on an act for certain people, because it was what they expected. But he was pretty sure Clark had his heartbeat memorized, and while he could pass a lie detector test... not so much the last son of Krypton.

But more importantly, because he was his friend.]


You're not old! I'm just being respectful, I heard that's what kids my age do now and again. [Versus people your age oh wait. Dick's grin just grows broader.]

Never mind! Let's go, I'm ready. [He comes over and balances the jugs carefully so he doesn't hit him with them when he figures out a way to hold on.] Did I ever tell you about my skydiving? I mean this in a 'I like falling, but if the jugs slip from my grasp, that's going to require more sweet-talking to ghosts'. [He looks up. Man, can he just jump into his arms all bridal style? Because how much fun would that be. But, alas, he'll leave that one for now, just plastering himself to Clark's side.]
andaway: ([Hold back])

I love backtags shhh

[personal profile] andaway 2013-11-03 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Excuse you Mr Young and Handsome we'll see how you look when you're his age. ...Probably even better, because that's the way the bats roll but that is not the point.]

You do know it's not the first time I do this, don't you? [Dick might not have jumped into his arms but he still totally gets picked up bridal style. Emasculating, maybe, but after all these years he's learned it's definitely the safest way to carry someone.] This isn't even a transatlantic flight, easy.
bludhavenknight: ([N] Small smile Batman?)

<333

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-12-05 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[You grow up nicely, Clark! If your dad is any indication, because this version of him is pretty easy on the eyes.]

Don't worry, I do. I do I do I do I do I do... [This is why he doesn't sing, it's not really the best. But come on, bridal style with an I Do song? Next time, he's going to hop into his arms, no problem. It's only emasculating if you think of it like that.]

Just wanted to check and double check. Maybe triple check. I learned from the best.
andaway: ([Rescue])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-12-06 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dick no crushing on his dad]

'The best' has flown with Superman Airlines more times than he will probably admit out loud. Are all passengers ready for the take off?
bludhavenknight: ([D] Alfred is my mom)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2013-12-11 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He's already crushing on the whole family, he's allowed to add someone to that group.]

Like I don't know how many times? [Come on. Maybe he doesn't know EVERY time, but he knows a lot of them.]

Ready, Captain! Everything is ready and held on very tightly. [Can we go now? Can we? Please?]
andaway: (Did you ever believe?)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-12-20 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he takes off! With a burst of speed and a little twirl to make Dick happy but always keeping him safe because getting injured because Superman dropped you mid-flight-

Dick would probably find even that a little bit cool, but still.
]
bludhavenknight: (Default)

[personal profile] bludhavenknight 2014-01-08 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[It's all cool, and Dick doesn't even care that much that he's laughing from the fun of it. Flying is the best thing ever. And it's over way too soon, in his opinion, as they get to the top of one of the non-terrible arches.

Once they land, he waits till he gets dropped off, juggling the jugs (see that there), and look at that. They didn't lose them.]


I'm going to become seventy years old, and still want to do that. [He pauses.] Okay, maybe not seventy, but you get it.
