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!

[He always wants to be involved. With everything. It's his Kryptonite.]

'Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the next'. Roughly. It's from Odes. By Horace.

[He has so much nerd street cred it's not even funny. ... Well, it's a little funny.]

And hey, who taught you that? Because let me tell you, they're completely wrong. All you need are people you can trust, the rest's easy.

A man who likes the classics. [She may be impressed, Kirk.]

Trust doesn't always come easy. [Not when you have a past like hers.]

People can hurt you. [Says the girl with a scar across her neck.]

What can I say? I'm a traditional guy.

[But his teasing doesn't quite have any bite to it.]

I dunno, I'd say that's letting them win. When you choose to distrust people based on the actions of a few.

And if they're the actions of your father? [She tilts her head with raised eyebrows, a knowing look. It's not that she really wants to talk about what made her as fucked up as she is, but if the people who are supposed to protect you hurt you the most, what does it say about your outlook on others?]

Then you swear to never be like him.

[That's a little more vehement than it needs to be for a 'theoretical' conversation. Jim's father may be dead, but the man his mother married afterwards was sure as hell no saint.]

[She understands his sentiment. Parents can really fuck up their kids. Her smile is faint, but she doesn't think it's that easy.]

You really see the world like that. In things that are only levels of attainable.

Certain things shape you, sure. But you're still an individual person who gets to make individual choices. Good or bad. The trick is not to let all the bad choices dominate your life. Treat it as a lesson learned. Move on.

[He lifts one shoulder in a shrug, and abruptly, the music changes over to something with a faster tempo. He hadn't really registered the passage of time, and he frowns slightly.]

[She gives a small smile when the song stops, stepping back.]

Sometimes people won't let you move on.
