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.]

"I'm great," he lies unconvincingly, though with the flash of a smile, barely there before it's gone again. Time traveler, that's where. "I know you," he says, pointing a finger at Andrew.

Always fine, meet great. Andrew blinks -- he doesn't know Topher, he's sure of that. Mostly sure, anyway. "Have we met?" he asks, befuddled.

[brink]

"Mmmmnoooyyyyeemaybe," Topher answers slowly, face scrunched up as he tries to think. "The Doctor," he adds, by way of explanation. Hopefully that'll cover the important stuff, cause Topher can't seem to pull up more.

[bluesuit_handy]

"That's right," confirms Andrew, surprised. Then he makes a brief face of his own. "More or less. Why'd you run when you saw me?"

[brink]

He's already introduced himself as Andrew Noble, it should be clear enough he's not quite the Doctor.

"Better that way," he answers, explaining nothing. He hadn't recognised Andrew yet, he just dove out of the way as a natural reaction.

[bluesuit_handy]

"Better why?" What's obvious is that something's not quite right in the land of Topher. Andrew takes a step closer, looking at the other man and trying to decide if he's sure Topher is human.

[brink]

When Andrew takes a step closer, Topher takes a step back. He can't keep that up, but hopefully Andrew will take the hint.

"One bullet for everyone I meet," he answers, then seems distracted by something behind him, even though there's nothing there.

[bluesuit_handy]

Andrew stops again, curious but not so much so that he's willing to potentially panic someone who's already run from him once. "...Right," he replies, filing the response away under 'possibly has nothing to do with anything.' Only possibly, though. He glances in the same direction Topher does, seeing nothing.

"Where were you last?" he asks, attention back on the (presumed) human.
