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

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!]

Just an issue with big reptiles then

Lucy's coiled up comfortable, watching the bat curiously, aware of it far earlier than it's aware of her. When it's startled into falling onto her, almost trapped between her coils, flailing at her... Well, if she had limbs, she could probably be slow-clapping.

Still, she's caught on enough to assume there's probably another person in that bat shape. "Relax, I'm not going to eat you," she tells it lazily.

Just big reptiles named Lucy, today.

Peter squeaks, finally managing to claw his way out from a ditch formed between two of her coils. Her words (and more importantly, her voice) register, and he sits there, panting sheepishly, as he realizes that a.) he's just run into the only person he might be interested in talking to and b.) he's made an idiot of himself.

"...Lucy?" he asks, being a big enough man for once not to try to flap off and hide that it was him.

That might be a problem if Lucy hadn't seen Peter make an idiot of himself several times before, and honestly has no need for him to impress her anyway. And she'll try and take the charitable view that he obviously didn't choose this shape himself - it's still kind of funny, though.

"Why hello, Peter," she answers, and there's just a little bit of a smirk in her voice. She shifts a bit to lift her head and look at him properly, careful not to move the part of her he's on too much.

"My, grandmother, what a big mouth you have," says Peter dryly. Truth is, that giant reptilian face makes him nervous, just as the TARDIS's oversized hooves did even before he knew who she was and had reason to suppose she might want to step on him. And did he really have to be the smallest animal here?

"Good thing I'm not hungry," she answers, and gives something resembling a yawn, putting her fangs on display for a moment. Then she lowers her head to look at him more closely. "You, meanwhile, are tiny. As I'm sure you've noticed."

"Oh, look," says Peter, feigning nonchalant annoyance, "teeth to match, lovely. Yes, I'd noticed."

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-07 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"You do know I have no plans or urge to eat you, right?" she says reassuringly (though still with a bit amusement), resting her head next to him, because Peter sounds just a little bit worried. "And at least you can fly. I'm all limbless. It's very odd."
fucking_ebay: (thoughtful | confusion)

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-07 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Course I know," Peter assures her with a huff. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to move around on the ground like this?"

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-07 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"You can sit on my head, if you want," she offers. "Just don't poke me in the eye." And hey, if Peter's worried about not being visible, or being easy to hurt, she could protect him.
fucking_ebay: (smile | laugh)

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-07 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
He laughs. "I might take you up on that." Just not at the moment, since he's content to stay put right now.

Well, they're a bit far up, well away from most animals roaming around. Only danger right here is falling down, and there's just grass underneath them. Not that dangerous.

"Have you met anyone else you know around here?" she asks curiously.
fucking_ebay: (thoughtful | cold daylight)

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-07 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Peter is silent for a few moments. Yes, he has, but he's not happy about it. Then again, would Lucy expect him to be? He doesn't exactly have a crowd of friends.

"Have you met the TARDIS?" he asks.
essentiallyharmless: (Pure as a melody)

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-07 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Lucy lifts her head quickly, quite obviously spooked by this. "She's here?" Because it's not like 'the TARDIS' is a common name, and even less common probably for it to be used in the context of meeting someone.

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-07 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"She's a friend of Gabriel's," confirms Peter after skittering back a body length. He's aware she has something to do with the Doctor as well, but as he barely even knows the Doctor, the Time Lord is of less concern than the angel who keeps harassing him. "And, currently, a unicorn. A bitchy unicorn."

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-07 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, well, I'll know what to avoid, then," she answers, not as cheerful anymore. She doesn't actually dislike the TARDIS, but she's... well, a bit scared of her, honestly. And she's fairly sure the TARDIS dislikes Lucy. Not that Lucy was actually aware she was even alive when she traveled in her, it's not like anybody told her that. But given what her husband did to the TARDIS, she wouldn't be surprised if some of that blame spread to Lucy as well.

"Hold on, she's... actually trapped here, in New York? A time machine that can literally go anywhere can't get back through the rift? Hardly likely we'll be able to them," she says, and she's restless now, squirming a bit across the ropes. "Is the Doctor here too?"
fucking_ebay: (thoughtful | confusion)

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-08 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Both of them, yeah," shrugs Peter. "If she's not trapped here, I don't know why she doesn't just leave." Like he rather wishes she would. Now if only she'll keep her promise and keep away from him.

He blinks in confusion. "She has a time machine?"
essentiallyharmless: (Dubious as the weather)

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-08 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Lucy groans at the news that the Doctor is there. Great. Another person to avoid. Good to know she's been warned now, though. So she doesn't just accidentally think he's Peter because she's gotten so used to his face. If it is that Doctor, of course. You never know. But she wouldn't recognise most of the other ones.

"She is a time machine," she answers. "The TARDIS is the Doctor's time machine slash spaceship. But don't ask me how that works."

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-08 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Maaaaybe Peter should have mentioned it to her? He's known for a while now, after all. Mostly he'd just wanted to forget about someone with his own face coming out to the park and demanding to talk to him.

He stares. Then he blinks slowly. "No," he decides. "That's just too fucking ridiculous. She's a person. I think."
essentiallyharmless: (Closed as a gate)

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-08 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Is she tiny with big curly brown hair?" she asks, somewhat annoyed by Peter's refusal to believe this. Mostly because she's annoyed at them being here as well. Though the upside is, if the Doctor figures out how to get back, it's not unlikely he'll help everyone else get home too. Or at least get out of the city. Because she doesn't particularly want to go back.

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-08 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
"When she's not a unicorn," he agrees reluctantly. "I know she's not human, whatever the fuck she is."
essentiallyharmless: (Shattered as a glass)

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-08 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
"She's a sentient time machine with a body. Trust me, I've even traveled with her," Lucy answers, barely stopping herself from saying 'in her'. "Went to the end of the universe, saw the death of everything, and brought it back with us." There's just a hint of the old, unstable Lucy in her voice, the one Peter's only seen in a dream.
fucking_ebay: (sad | panic room)

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-08 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
"...Right." Peter doesn't really know how to respond to that. The question of 'buhwhuh?' is a significant one, but he can also tell that they're straying dangerously close to some kind of crack in the facade.
essentiallyharmless: (Bitter as a penny)

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-08 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Let's just be glad she's currently a reptile with extremely limited ways to express emotions. She remains quiet for several long moments.

"Oh, didn't I mention? The Doctor was the one who abandoned me to rot in prison without a trial," she adds, feigning nonchalance. In case Peter needed a reason to dislike him.

[personal profile] fucking_ebay 2013-06-08 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Fuck." This is the point at which Peter would probably try to hold her or comfort her in some way. He shifts a hand, wanting to place it comfortingly on her scales, but just manages to poke her in a slightly different spot with his thumb. "That's just...fuck."
essentiallyharmless: (Quiet as a mouse)

[personal profile] essentiallyharmless 2013-06-08 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
She will take his swearing as sympathy, so she gives him a gentle little nudge of affection with her nose in return.

"So you might see why I was a little started to bump into you when I first arrived here," she points out. "Given he has your face." At least she didn't say Peter has the Doctor's face.
