Earth Day is upon us!

To what dark realm will the rift bring the dreamers of Manhattan tonight? Another dark, craggy island? A deathly, abandoned place where they will be forced to confront their deepest, darkest demons?

No, not so much. Tonight the dreamers of Manhattan will find themselves alighting in a beautiful, sunlit zoological park. Well-kept paths wind between spacious enclosures, state of the art habitat design allowing visitors close-up views of the animals without depriving the latter of room to roam. One might wander into the indoor aquarium with its tropical microclimate, or go for a stroll in a shady arboretum. Food stands dot the pathways, each one serving up a variety of oddly themed foodstuffs, free of charge. It's hard not to be happy in such a wondrous place.

No, really, it's hard not to be happy. Feelings of well-being permeate the air and the people and animals breathing it -- one has so much to be thankful for, after all.

Oh, and those animals? Probably not what one would expect to find at a typical, earthly zoo. Creatures of myth and fantasy occupy the many enclosures: sea serpents in the aquarium, winged horses in the aviaries, and everything that flies or crawls or slithers through the imagination of the universe's many cultures in the various enclosures.


[Mod Note: Once again it's time for a shared dream! We're back to optional themes this month, so players are free to choose whether and how much to have the happiness whammy apply to their characters. As always, all players and all characters are welcome, including players who are not members and characters who are not in the game. Memories of this and of all dreaming threads may be retained or forgotten at players' discretion.]

The features of this incarnation of himself (even if this isn't himself) really are incredibly elastic. The Doctor watches with a faintly raised eyebrow as the man's tiny features catapult between a thunderous scowl and rather manic glee; he's not sure how he feels about that. Of more import, however, is the Master's latest little scheme, whatever that might involve.

'Oh, getting you out of the Master's TARDIS should be simple enough, now that I know you're there. Presuming, of course, you know where his TARDIS is. I could just try to track down its signature in the Vortex, but given the temporal variables-- is this Master your contemporary, or from earlier in his timeline?' His expression goes vague and thoughtful for a few moments, before he snaps back down to Andrew. 'And what precisely was it you were endeavouring to do?'

Get a good look at this face, Doctor, you'll be shaving it.

He sucks in a breath, looking cock-eyed up at the Doctor. His eyes have almost adjusted now; it doesn't feel like his optic nerve is about to spontaneously start bleeding. "Attempting to break into the shared dreams," he answers. "And it might be more complicated than that. I know where he is, but I don't know where you are, strictly speaking. We're under the influence of an interdimensional rift at the moment; that's what's linking our minds."
