I'll See You in My Dreams [WIDE-OPEN PARTY THREAD]

[applesaucemod]

Sometimes the rift only gives the denizens of Manhattan strange dreams. Sometimes, two people will find themselves together in the Dreaming. And other times? Other times, the Dreaming takes hold of dozens of people at once, throwing them all together into one shared mental space while they sleep.

Tonight is one of those nights -- what's more, the rift has outdone itself this time, telepathic tendrils reaching out through the rift into other universes to pull in even those who haven't been physically transported to this world...yet. You might meet a stranger from another world, or you might run into your next-door neighbor. You might notice right away that this isn't the waking world and that you are not alone, or you may drift through blissfully unaware that anything is out of the ordinary. You might not even remember this in the morning at all.

And that's probably going to be fortunate for at least a few people, because what you will notice is the overwhelming desire to get cozy with someone. It's chilly in this big house where you've found yourself, but luckily for you, there are beds, beanbags, and blankets galore, all of them just perfect for getting cuddly with your new friends. Consider yourself lucky that dream-world cameras can't upload photos to the real-world internet.


[It's a Dreaming party, and everyone is welcome! Tag a friend, tag a stranger, whatever! Everyone who's been pulled in will be feeling unusually friendly and cuddly, so get a-snuggling. Some characters (particularly those with strong telepathic defenses) may not be as strongly affected as others; the extent of the Dreaming's effect on each character is up to the mun's discretion.

Also, when we say everyone, we mean everyone. Non-members are welcome to tag into this post, so feel free to voice-test new characters here, and to invite friends who aren't in the game to come do some meeting and greeting. If you've come upon this post and aren't a member of this game, you are welcome to tag into this post.

For those who are familiar with the brbG parties, this is basically like that. Post a tag with your character's arrival and await replies. Time is bendy in here, so each character can have multiple replies/threads. Have fun!]

Andrew, meanwhile, has been doing his utmost to point out every distraction he can spot. To the casual bystander, it might appear the meta-crisis is suffering from a severe shortage of attention span, but in actuality he's desperate to avoid letting the Doctor find James.

Standing behind the Doctor, he tries to make eye contact with James, and shakes his head 'no.'

[fragmentation]

For about a split second, James thinks it's Andrew who's approached him. However, what he's saying, combined with the suit, the fact he has two hearts (yes his heat vision works in the dreaming too), and the REAL Andrew standing behind the man - they're all pretty obvious tip-offs.

"Yee-no...?" he answers, only catching onto Andrew's meaning halfway through speaking. It's not very convincing.

"Wonderful!" the Doctor answers brightly, obviously not fooled, and drops down into the giant beanbag. It's quite large enough to fit three people, if they sit closely, at least.

"I'm the Doctor, just in case that much wasn't obvious," he says, shaking James's hand. "Andrew here was just telling me about you."

Andrew shoves his hands in his pockets, looking decidedly put out. He'll have to talk to James later about how one goes about lying. He sighs and comes closer, eying the beanbag to see if he can fit between the two of them. "He knocked down my fort," he tells James helpfully. "Says he came through the rift about a week ago." Meaning they have to deal with him in the waking world, too, ugh.

[fragmentation]

He's much better at lying if he knows he's supposed to be. And James doesn't actually understand the harm in talking to the Doctor. Except for that he too has some lingering feelings about being compared to the original and such.

"Right," James answers, looking between the two, unsure what he's supposed to be doing. "It's nice to meet you."

[bluesuit_handy]

There's no room to squirm between them without sitting down right on top of one or both, but there's space on the other side of James. Andrew flops down on the beanbag, sitting close.

"And now he's being nosy," he informs James.
