brink: (Serious | Upset | This secret we have)

Hijacked dream party

Tonight's dream party is, unconventionally enough, not organised by the rift, but by Topher!

Thing is, he was sort of supposed to only pull in a few very specific, targeted people, and all of a sudden, this whole lot comes pouring in. See, he's working with someone with the power of ability amplification, making Topher's dream abilities obscenely powerful for tonight, and he's not quite used to it.

The dreamers will find themselves in an old mansion at nighttime. Lots and lots of rooms; several bedrooms and bathrooms of various sizes, studies, library, sitting rooms, kitchen, dining rooms, games/billiards room, even secret passageways... There's a fire roaring in every grate, everything is warmly lit, with lots of dark corners to sneak off to, comfortable couches, plenty of drinks tables. There's also a pervasive feeling that you're safe, that you can relax. That whispered secrets in the dark will be kept. And everyone will feel much less compelled to judge or mock upon hearing those secrets. A night for confessions. All of a sudden, it's hard to resist opening up...

Of course, the dreamers don't know there's someone listening in, seeing everything that goes on, sometimes even manipulating things to go the way he wants. Certain people with psychic/telepathic/dream abilities may eventually cotton on, though. But it'll take a while. But the secrets you tell in the meantime may not remain secrets for that long. Especially if those secrets are useful to certain other important players in the city, quite apart from the two factions our rifties have become familiar with.

[Mod note: Usual dream party rules apply. All players and characters are welcome, current members or no. Characters will remember or forget all dream events at players' discretion. Bear in mind that any events or information shared in this dream will be available to Topher, and, by extension, probably his bosses, such as Beatrice.]

Well, it might have something to do with Ten being a very effusive person.

He looks over at her when he speaks, swallowing the next bite before he can answer. "No, I know - it's just these are very well made. Usually people aren't sure how to balance the bitter and the sweet. Did you make these?" he asks, suddenly noticing her apron and that she doesn't seem to be there just for snacks.

Sunshine grins broadly at that assessment. Under normal circumstances, she'd be a bit better at hiding her pleasure, but she finds herself not minding if this guy knows how happy it makes her when other people like what she makes - not just like it, but appreciate it, even. "Yeah, I invented them a few years ago. That whole tray's mine," she adds with a gesture toward the platter of other baked goods she's produced since she got here. "I'm Sunshine."

"Oh, marvellous!" he answers, picking up a stripey one to try that. "Good name, too. I'm the Doctor, pleased to meet you! I'd shake your hand, but I'm chocolatey now," he says, grinning. "I used to love cooking and baking, couple years back, but I've sort of lost the habit." Well, a couple bodies back, technically. He used to stress-bake like a madman back before the war.

'The' Doctor, huh? Waking-world Sunshine would probably want a little clarification, but here in the dreaming, she has a hard time coming up with any reason to press for details. If he says he's the Doctor, that's good enough for her. She's more interested in what he's going to think of that Killer Zebra, anyway.

"Never too late to get back into it," she says, going for 'encouraging.'
