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!]

"Oh yeah, thanks," he answers. He's not normally a big tea drinker, but yeah, he'll take some. "Are we actually defending ourselves against anyone in particular? Or is it just the potential zombies or aliens?" He hadn't seen anyone particularly threatening, but then he's fairly sure he hasn't seen everyone who's here. There's probably more around.

"Just the potential." Ianto sheds his blanket cape and crawls out from underneath the table to pour Canton a cup of tea, this one with milk and honey, because if Canton is a silly American who doesn't drink tea then he might like it sweet. "I had a bad time of zombies and dreams, once. Coma patient. Imagined them into existence. Can't hurt to be careful, eh?"

He crouches and shuffles back underneath the table a moment later, bearing Canton's tea. "Or it's just an excuse to build a blanket fort."

"That doesn't sound pleasant," Canton comments with a frown. He's never had to tackle zombies thus far, thankfully. He smiles when Ianto returns with the tea, though, taking it from him so he can settle without worrying about spilling. "I suppose if you have an excuse to build a blanket fort, it'd be a waste not to seize upon it."

He sips his tea carefully - the milk made it a nice temperature, and yes, sweet is lovely. "How are you doing these days?" he asks, reaching out to put a hand on Ianto's shoulder. He feels strangely more tactile than usual.
