The Tropical Vacation of Your Dreams
The communal dreams of Manhattan have been downright pleasant lately, haven't they? Here's another sunny day for dreamers to enjoy in their sleep, though of course the tropical climate may prove just a little uncomfortable for northerners. The verdant jungle has its own sort of charm, though, teeming as it is with all sorts of exotic animals.
Make that very exotic animals.
Those who arrive close by any of the old buildings or fences will see that it's been a long time since the humans that made them disappeared. Everything here was once sleek, shiny, and state of the art. Now formerly electric fences stand bent and torn, automated SUVs sit rusting on their tracks or lie smashed to pieces where they were thrown by some enormous creature, and the jungle slowly works to reclaim a mildewy hotel and visitors' center.
Whether one finds oneself in the formless jungle that was once paddocks, in the aviary that would have housed a luxury resort, or even in the halls of what should by all rights be the most heavily fortified hotel in the world, one is always in danger here. The barriers that once separated human from dinosaur have long since fallen. Here dinosaurs have eked out a new ecosystem, the carnivores not particularly bothered about eating herbivores from entirely different epochs…or, for that matter, the funny little hairless apes that have appeared here on occasion. Here one is always in danger of running afoul of hungry tyrannosaurs, stampeding triceratops, or cunningdeinonychus velociraptors (they're totally velociraptors, yup). Enjoy the eye-searing venom of that strangely undersized dilophosaurus, by the way, as well as the toxic bite of the swarms of compsognathus. Or maybe the dreamers will luck out, and the worst they'll encounter is an indifferent, bumbling brachiosaurus or an unassuming microceratops. Who here is ever that lucky, though?
Welcome to Jurassic Park.
[Mod note: Same drill as always. All players and characters are welcome, current members or no. Characters will remember or forget any and all dream events at players' discretion. Death in the dream does not result in real death.]

"Wait, so... I've somehow ended up god knows where, you're talking crazytalk at me, so obviously you're right in that this must be a dream," she says, walking past him to go out the door and get a better look of the place. "So I don't really feel all that inclined to figure out what the hell you're talking about."

"It's a shared dream," he points out impatiently. "It happens all the time here." But no, he wouldn't believe it either if their positions were reversed. Fat lot of good it's done him figuring out it's a dream this time.
Outside, some large creature in the distance lets out a resounding bellow.

She jumps a little at the sound, turning towards the direction it came from. "The hell is that?"
no subject
"I don't know," he says slowly. "But I don't think I want to meet it."
no subject
"So... My where are we question seems kind of important now," she points out, stepping forward towards the sound rather than backwards.
no subject
Whatever made the noise doesn't do it again immediately. There's another sound, though, closer by, as a pair of creatures emerge from the foliage perhaps fifty meters away. They're not coming toward Amy and Peter, and don't even seem to notice they're there as the dinosaurs amble along.
"...Fuck," says Peter in surprise.
