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.]

Oh, the myriad ways she could interpret 'standard.' Given how many batches of cookies Peeta has in mind, she should have enough time to get a few different flavors going. Maybe a nice maple icing. And cream cheese. She starts collecting bowls and ingredients.

While Sunshine works on the icing - and Peeta does ponder what she might produce for him - he gets the first batch mixed and laid out on a baking sheet. He slides the sheet into the oven and starts in on the second batch.

And chocolate. Can't forget chocolate. Maybe they could melt some down and drizzle it over the cookies (though she's not sure if that would qualify as the sort of decorating Peeta has in mind). Well, she'll focus on the cream cheese frosting and maple glazes, first. She starts with the cream cheese, figuring she can make a big batch in one bowl and then break it down into a couple of smaller ones for different colors.

"Color preferences?" she asks over the sound of the sound of the electric mixer.

Peeta ponders. The main design he's itching to do is a complicated knot/latticework pattern, so the color won't matter. But he also wants to make some of his general stand-by ones with flowers on them.

"One pattern I want to do can combine any colors, so as long as you have some that contrast well, it shouldn't matter. I would like a nice, deep orange; a soft purple; and a grassy green, if you have the colors for them."
