It's Saturday night and you're hallucinating in your sleep!

[applesaucemod]

It's that time again! The rift has caught the good little dreamers of New York (and beyond) in its currents and washed them ashore on a desert island in a dream wonderland. This time, however, quite a noticeable change has come over each of the attendees of this nocturnal party.

All the people who arrive in this shared mindspace will find that they have been transformed into some sort of animal they find familiar or that resembles them. They will find that they can still communicate with one another and that they still have all their mental faculties, but might be a little…well…influenced by the forms they have taken on.

They will also find that they have been deposited in the middle of the largest, most elaborate playground they have ever seen. Climbing equipment and slides of the sort meant for human children are in evidence, but so are cat trees, meadows, tunnels, pools and ponds, aerial obstacle courses, and anything else the mind can imagine, for as far as the eye can see.



[OOC: The usual dream party rules apply: players apply the party's theme (in this case, transformation) to their characters according to their own discretion, and both members and non-members are more than welcome to use this post to try out characters not yet in the game. Usual dreaming rules also apply, in that players can choose whether or not their characters will remember this in the morning. Have at!]

"Not at all. Me an' her got a couple false starts and then nothin. You think I know her?" He shakes his head. They'd gotten rather close rather quickly, actually, now that he thinks about it. It's not something Gabriel usually does, but she'd helped save him. She forced him out of his shell, and it had been nice to be known.

"I'm implying that you should talk to your ship." He knows that the TARDIS has reservations and doubts when it comes to the Doctor. If she's not talking to him anymore, why not try to fix the other relationship in her life? Nothing wrong with showing a little interest, right?

And now he's just confused, because Gabriel doesn't seem as spiteful as he'd first thought, but his motivations are anything but clear. Of course, he's pretty hard to read to begin with, and him currently being an albatross doesn't make it any easier.

"And what makes you say that?" he asks, his voice not quite as hard.

[has_a_horn]

The Doctor's not the only one aggravated with him being an albatross. He is missing out on making so many different facial expressions here.

He pauses for a moment, not exactly sure that he wants to go forward with telling the Doctor what had happened between him and the TARDIS. "The part where she got mad at me for acting too much like you. That might've been a clue."

[alwaysalright]

The Doctor bristles a little at that. He's aware they're both quite capable of annoying and frustrating one another, but they always make up.

"In what way?" If Gabriel is trying to make him worried, rather than just be helpful, he's succeeding.

[has_a_horn]

"Oh, I'm sure you've had the conversation before. Favoring all your human buddies seems to be the biggee." He shakes his head. If the TARDIS has been able to build up that much resentment about the Doctor over time, it's probably not the most healthy of relationships, symbiosis or no. "Don't ask me for details. I don't know 'em."

Wheee forgot you'd answered

[alwaysalright]

The Doctor huffs. There might be a smidgen of truth in that, but now she's got a humanoid body, he's been running around with her a lot, so he doesn't consider this a big current deal.

"And is that the problem she had with you as well?" he asks.

[has_a_horn]

"I wasn't doing any favoring. That was her problem." He shuffles his wings a bit. If there's a 'ruffled feathers' comparison to be made here, he's not the one that's going to make it. "Getting cuddly with me doesn't mean she gets put on a pedestal."

[alwaysalright]

"Oh, you were getting cuddly, were you?" he asks with just a hint of jealousy. He may be a bit defensive. Even if they apparently aren't talking now, so there's no point in actually being defensive, but whatever.

[has_a_horn]

"Very cuddly." Hey, it's true. Not that it matters, but it had been nice for a little while there. "But like I said, you can keep the claws in, I'm just trying to help you out."
