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.]

"... I, however, in my experiences with humans, have gained a comprehension of their autonomic functions and thus possess the limited ability to identify the... feelings I experience. I believe I am experiencing distress having been displaced from the humans that I consider... friends." Croach stops, finally, brow furrowing in displeasure. Were he conversing with Sparks Nevada, he might place the marshal under onus for being present to hear that embarrassing admission. As he is however currently conversing with and under onus to the stranger, it would be ineffectual in relieving his shame.
no subject
"Perhaps the telepathic current is interfering with your neurological processes? This particular setting feels quite pleasant to me, but the psychic energy responsible for it could very well have a different effect on some species." Which is just unfortunate for him, on top of being taken by the rift, and she feels sorry for him. "Is there something you would find comforting, besides being returned to your friends? I'd like to help."
no subject
He appreciates her attempt at comfort, but he fails to see what would appease him short of returning to G'loot Praktaw. "I am under onus to you for the offer, but I do not require cheering. Though I would inquire as to the presence of exits in this telepathic current? And also why it is shaped like the food preparation area which humans designate a kitchen."
no subject
But she can understand why he isn't eager to stay. "The current is similar to a dream in that you leave by waking up. I could likely reach into your mind and awaken you if you can't do it yourself."
