[open to all] Room full of people in your head

[applesaucemod]

The rift has gotten bored, and has decided it's time to bring people together for another dream party.

This time, when you find yourself within the dream, you'll be somewhere familiar. Perhaps somewhere you feel safe or at home, some place you miss, or were particularly happy at some point in your life. It might not be the same place every time you come back here, though.

There will also be a door where there didn't use to be one, even if there's no wall to surround it. If you go through this door, you will find yourself in endless simple corridor, lined with unmarked doors. And if you go through them, you'll pay a visit to someone else's room.


[There will monthly Dreaming party post like this. Same procedure as last time. Non-members welcome to tag in!]

"I wasn't hiding anything." There's a lie. "I'd just changed it to something more interesting." Perhaps true, certainly more entertaining, for him.

While Andrew doesn't particularly enjoy being ignored, he's just as happy not to have to explain the whole macra thing. He looks at Gabriel in interest. "You changed your room, I take it?"

"Of course you were," Daine says as Kitten lets out an indignant squawk. Unlike the dragon, Daine is more baffled by his denial than upset by it. She doesn't much care what his original room looked like or why he felt the need to cover it with something else, but it's a bit silly of him to act as if he wasn't hiding anything when he obviously was. "He did," she adds for Andrew's benefit.

"Technically hiding, I guess?" He shrugs and frowns down at the squawking animal. "I wasn't changing it maliciously. A karaoke bar is way more entertaining than what was there before."

Andrew's face lights up. "Oo, karaoke!" he exclaims. "It's been ages since I've sung karaoke. Never seem to get round to going."

Vapid as his response may seem, he is paying attention. It's not terribly surprising that other dreamers might have something to hide, and he tucks away this tidbit about Gabriel in the back of his mind. Well, and he really does think karaoke sounds like fun.

Daine's momentarily flummoxed by the idea that anyone could have found that bar situation to be pleasant; the memory is enough to leave her looking as if she's tasted something nasty. Recovering herself, she echoes Gabriel's shrug. "Well, Kitten didn't like it."

[has_a_horn]

Gabriel smiles at Andrew's reaction and swings a foot forward to tap him on the leg. "I'll have to take you sometime. I don't think Daine's coming, though." He raises his eyebrows at Daine. "I saw she didn't like it, so I changed it to something she would. I don't see what the problem is."

[bluesuit_handy]

Andrew grins. "James'd -- hmm. Not sure if James'd love it, actually." Because inviting Andrew more or less means automatically inviting James, whether one is aware of it or not. Andrew tells himself to ask James later if he'd like to try singing karaoke.

He turns his eyes to watch Daine and Kitten even as he finishes speaking, trying to gauge how seriously they're taking what seems to have been a personal offense unto the baby dragon. He still doesn't entirely trust Gabriel, but the TARDIS's endorsement has helped him be willing to at least try to give the man (alien? extradimensional being?) the benefit of the doubt.

Daine wrinkles her nose at the prospect of karaoke; she's definitely not coming.

Kitten lets out a stream of angry chattering in Gabriel's direction, and even if Daine could translate it, she probably wouldn't want to. "I guess you didn't make a good first impression," she says. Truth be told, Kitten's indignation is stronger than Daine would have expected, even counting her own annoyance with Gabriel (and Kit's awareness of Daine's irritation). Is there something else about him that's putting the dragon off? She can't ask her about it now, unfortunately, so she runs a soothing hand down the dragon's side. "You've made your point, Kit," she says quietly. The dragon looks at her for a moment, as if to gauge whether that's really true, then reluctantly settles down (though not before shooting the angel another dirty look).
