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.]

But he thought she got this. Now she's saying she's too busy? Aglet sighs heavily and contemplates the lack of cookies in his present locale. He can still rifle through packaged foods, of course, but now he's been spoiled for it.

"I don't like being picked up," he admits. Then he gives her a thoughtful look -- he could switch sizes with her! But then she couldn't make more cookies for him. Hmm.

Yeah, she wouldn't like being picked up by someone her relative size, either. Besides, who knows where those little shoes have been? She's going to have to scrub her hands before she gets back to work (well, she would anyway, but doubly so if she ends up actually picking this kid up).

"Well, you could climb into a cup or something and I could carry that," she offers, throwing a distracted glance back at the kitchen. The latest batch of cookies are going to need to come out in a minute.

Those little shoes have been all over the pantry and everything in it, that is where. Aglet senses that he might lose her soon -- and if she goes back to the kitchen without him, it could be a while before he has another chance. Being picked up is a lesser evil than being stuck in the pantry while the good stuff is out in the kitchen, and he finally relents. "Yeah, okay," he says. "Just be careful, okay?"

"Sure." The pantry isn't just full of food - there's a shelf with canning supplies, including glass mason jars of varying sizes. She picks a little one that Aglet should be able to climb into without either feeling cramped or hurting himself in the drop and sets it up on his shelf, tipped on its side so he can slide in easily. "This work for you?"

This place must have done a doozie on Aglet, because he climbs in with perfect aplomb, not even thinking about how she could slap a lid onto the jar and let him suffocate or take him to show to other Beans or cook him up or any number of other nasty things. She's said she'll be careful, and for once that's enough for him. "You may take me to the cookies now," he says magnanimously, only half kidding.
