Encampment Under the Sea [Open to All]

[applesaucemod]

Since the dreamers of Manhattan had such a lovely time at the last vaguely-nautical-themed party, the Rift has decided to step things up a notch. Tonight, the dreamers will find themselves in what appears to be a city very much like the one they inhabit in the waking world, full of towering skyscrapers, neon signs, and heavy traffic. But there is one rather crucial difference: this city is located deep underwater, and the aforementioned traffic is mostly whales and fish, with the occasional submersible thrown into the mix.

The walls and windows are heavily reinforced to withstand the pressure of the water outside, and the people who dwell in these buildings seem to be doing rather well for themselves, for the most part. Buildings are connected by enclosed walkways, so barring any horrible accidents, the dreamers should have no problem getting around without getting too wet.

Much like the city they inhabit in the waking world, some areas are more obviously affluent than others, and the dreamers are as likely to stumble upon an upscale club as an underwater pub. But while the chances of a full structural breakdown are slim, there are definitely some areas that are on the leaky side, and a general sense of claustrophobia pervades the city wherever you might find yourself.

Explore. Or, if you're feeling particularly ambitious, attempt to escape. Either way, take care - it's hard to say what might be lurking in the darkness just beyond the city lights.



[ooc: Y'all know the drill. All characters are welcome, whether they are in the game or not. Characters can remember or forget the events of the dreaming at the player's discretion. And the party never stops - backtag into infinity!]

"I've found a party!" Sadie announces, though really, there was no effort involved on her part. A beat later, she clarifies, "Well, I found myself at a party. I can't remember how I got here, but as previously stated, I made myself comfortable. In fact, I made myself four."

There's a long, pitifully empty beat, and then Sadie offers a halfhearted, "… Clink? Oh, Frank, it's just not the same without you."

Frank bites his fist. "Oh, Sadie! I'll find you soon! Barty can help, he's a good man. Aren't you, Barty?" He looks around quickly. "Well I found myself here as well, can't say I came through any corridor. But I can go have a look. Good thing they've got these newfangled wireless phones, eh?"

He tromps toward the nearest exit. "I'm in the corridor now! I have to say one could argue that it is rather S-shaped. Well done, Barty. What's next?"

"What, really? Score one for wild guessing." He's not even going to try to correct them about his name at this point. He'll do that when they all meet up, because there's no way he's directing them to each other and not going to join them and find out who these Doyle people even are. "Alright, follow that and tell me if you find a lift on the right. Sadie, can you look and tell me how many doors there are? How big's the room you're in?"
