Let's Do the Time Warp (Again)

[applesaucemod]

It's that time again, but time seems to be a bit muddled. As usual, people from all over the multiverse are being drawn into the Dreaming by the rift. This time, in addition to (or sometimes instead of) picking up the residents of Manhattan, they take them from their home universe but from a different point in time. You may find yourself suddenly encountering a future version of yourself, or perhaps you bump into a friend taken from long before you met them.

Tonight's setting is also time-twisted. You're still in Manhattan, but it seems to be closer to the 1930s. Specifically, you're in an old hotel. There's the dimly lit lobby, with chairs and tables for relaxed mingling. The bar, where tables are front of a stage, on which a band is playing various hits of the 30s. There's also an outdoor area if you need fresh air. Or you could explore the hotel, but it's mostly corridors, unless you stumble upon an unlocked room.



[Mod note: Usual dream-party rules apply. Both members and non-members are welcome to use any character, be they already in the game or no.

For game-specific characters, you can choose whether or not they will remember their time in Manhattan if they're taken from the future. You can take your character from multiple different points in time, if you want.]

He starts a little with surprise when the stranger takes a seat at his table without asking, without saying hello or waving or anything like that. Just sits down, orders himself a drink and gives him an up-and-down look that seems ... more thorough than your average casual glance.

"Uh. Yes. Yes I am." And then, because Ned's never exactly been the smoothest operator, he blurts, "I'm not... I don't know you do I? Sometimes I'm really bad with faces." He's pretty positive he's never met this man before, but it's his roundabout way of asking just what it is he wants.

"Don't think so." He doesn't see this as a problem. The tables are public, why not sit at one where conversation is possible? "Is this a talking to strangers thing?" He chuckles, his mouth rising into a smirk. The level of awkward coming off of this guy is really astounding.

"I'm Gabriel. Nice to meet you...?" Here's where you fill in your name so you can get over a random dude intruding on your tiny-coffee time.
