Can't Stand the Distance, Can't Dream Alone [open to all]
The sleeping rifties might have a difficult time realizing they're dreaming this evening, in part because tonight's dreams are atypically vivid, even compared to the rift's usual efforts. Perhaps that is because it's drawing so heavily from the memories of the dreamers, themselves, and using that information to recreate their home worlds in stunning detail. And that is the real reason the dreamers might not be eager to accept the unreality of the situation: the situation is one that many of them have been hoping for for months or even years. In their dreams tonight, the rifties are going home.
Perhaps they arrive in the same moment that they left. Perhaps months have passed at home, or they might even find themselves arriving before their departure point. But those are small details when compared to the overwhelming realization that they're back where they belong.
They're not alone. Many dreamers will find the rift has given them a companion for the return trip. Well, an uncomplicated return home is probably more than anyone could have hoped for, anyway. And for the unwitting visitor, perhaps another universal displacement will be easier to bear with the addition of a local guide.
[ooc: usual dream party rules apply; all are welcome, and dreamers can remember or forget the events of the dream at the players' discretion. Also at the players' discretion: when their character arrives in their 'home universe,' and how many (if any) locals they'd want to run into.]

This is about his family and Daniel has no right to interfere in it. When it's Daniel's family that's just been completely wiped off the face of the universe, then he can decide what the proper course of action is.
Lucifer turns from the wreckage of the car, then; this conversation is over.
"Thank you for the coffee," he says, "and you're welcome for the use of everything below your neck."
And he starts walking. He made it this far on foot; he can go a few hundred miles more.

He sinks to the ground, breathing heavily, pressed against the crumpled side of the car. It takes until Lucifer is little more than a darkened dot on the horizon for Daniel to remember his phone and grope for it. Dispatch. He needs to call dispatch.
And then Daniel wakes up, shivering, panting, the image of a body splayed against the floor seared into his mind. And also - a bag. There's a little fist-sized bag in his hand. This doesn't make any sense; why would he have a bag. It's not like he makes a habit of sleeping with bags in hand. And it's not even a normal kind of bag, it's a, a weird-smelling bag with - are those bones in it?
What.
