"No problem," Topher replies with a practiced smile. It really is no problem for him, to that to one person's mind while he is interacting with them. At least when it's something as simple as just blocking interference from the Rift, not actively influencing them in any particular direction. It would be impossible to try to do it to everyone here however, just like he can't do anything about the setting in more than the immediate area surrounding them. The dreamscape is too big for that, he'd need someone to boost his power. He knows this because he has actually done that once, and it had been very useful.
"Yeah, just dreams. I don't go fiddling with people's minds, certainly not without asking their permission first," he answers. Hah. As if he's never done that before. It is true though, he has most definitely put those days behind him, as interesting and exciting as it was to do. Given that ninety seven percent chance of apocalypse involved, he does not intend to give this universe the imprinting technology or information.
He does sort of do it in the dreaming, but he tries to keep it, you know, ethical and positive. Actually helping people. And respecting their boundaries when they don't want him to, like with Sunshine, one of the few people he goes to see in the waking world instead.
"It's my Rift-given superpower," he says, materialising four balls and starting to juggle with them, then turning them into apples mid-air, then making them disappear entirely. Phonea may be preening and strutting a little throughout this display. "Dream walking, dreamspace manipulation, and falling asleep and waking up at any given time," he explains, grinning a bit. "Mind you, I know people who could do the same thing in here because they can actually do it while they're awake, but that's different."
