Event | Sinbrilee | Bacchanal

[ironwood]

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

[bludhavenknight]

[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.]

was it a typo WAS IT (yes it was)

[andaway]

[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!

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

[bludhavenknight]

[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.]

I love backtags shhh

[andaway]

[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.

<333

[bludhavenknight]

[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]

[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]

[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]

[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]

[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.
