INCEPTION AU MEME

Ever wanted to throw your character into the wonderful world of dream share? Want to do a crossover with your spy or detective or wizard? Now's your chance!

1. Post your character, list any preferences (or no-nos) you may have!
2. Set up a scenario, if you'd like! Is your character an extractor, architect, point man, etc? What job are they on?
3. Tag around - do weird AU crossover things, whatever your heart desires.
4. Dream a little bigger, darling~ (and be excellent to each other)

Warning: Some threads may involve violence, psychological manipulation, or sex.

Roles:

Extractor: They lead the operation, organizing the team and acting as the main creative force behind the operation.
Point (Wo)man: They do most of the nitty gritty work - researching marks, planning the logistics of the heist, making sure the risk is minimized.
Architect: They design the actual dream levels.
Forger: Psychologically adept, forgers can impersonate real people the mark knows, or invent characters to distract and/or manipulate a mark.
Chemist: They formulate the drug compounds (called somnacin) necessary for the dreamers to enter a shared dream state.
Projection: A figment of a person’s subconscious, usually manifesting as a person - either a random stranger or possibly someone you know! Or maybe even a shade.
Mark: The target of the extraction!

Scenarios:

1. Extraction: you've been hired to extract information of some kind from someone! Who hired you? Who is your mark? How is everything about to go wrong?
2. Woops it's the police! You're a law enforcement agent tracking down dream thieves. How are you doing this? Are you going undercover? Fighting fire with fire?
3. Dream therapy: Going into someone's subconscious can have uses other than just stealing, you know! Maybe you're a therapist, or a patient, looking for a little healing?
4. Dream training: You're a soldier or a cop, and dream sharing is the latest and greatest technology to help in training. OR maybe you're training your subconscious to resist invasion?
5. Inception: you've been asked to do the impossible! Who's your mark? What's the idea? Who's on the team? This can't possibly go wrong!
6. Trapped in limbo: You and/or the person you're dreaming with have lost themselves in limbo! What are you doing? Will you ever wake up?
7. Obligatory "have you ever had sex in a dream" prompt.
8. Wild Card: have fun, go wild, create your own!

[ i'm up in ur dream, inceptin' ur secretz ]

[[architect, point (wo)man, or projection preferred for her, but up for anything.]]

[ though if you think dealing with one psychopathic ex was bad, try dealing with the litany of serial killers and stags and wendigos that haunt this guy's mind ]

[ i'm all up in ur dreamz, bending shit ]

((whatever happens, it's going to be crack to the max, so buckle up.

for ultimate lulz, charlie should be an architect.))

[Arthur has become the coffee guy. He can't really wake up and get to work without a dose of caffeine, and he lives on the stuff for late night research sessions. So after all while his coffee runs came to include everyone else - he knows exactly how they all take their coffee, and doesn't even have to be asked anymore.

He just quietly enters the room, setting plastic cups down next to elbows. He pauses at Mal's work space, however, to glance at whatever it is she's working on.]

[Dude I'm up for just about anything.

Don't I know you from somewhere?]

[ canon point but i'm open to w/e ]

[ forger, yeeah. up for non-mutant au too ]

(ooc: Up for everything but Marla is more likely to be either point woman or forger)

[ He's lucky. Some say too lucky. So, the question is, is he cheating, or not? ]

[ extractor or forger, sup ]

[ ooc; I could see him fitting all roles but architect or chemist. also might be interesting if someone were trying to extract from him. ]

[ ooc; tentatively voice-testing him. ]

[Accomplished chemist, specialises in employing mood-altering compounds to put the mark into the right state of mind. Has been known to double up as a forger where necessary]

[It takes a cheat to finger another cheat, and the best way to catch a cheat was to observe them in their natural habitat. They'd constructed for him a lovely little palace of pleasure, with dicing games, alcohol, and all the pretty distractions one could ever ask for. He was forging a beautiful young woman who was presently working her way over to where the mark was sitting. Dark hair, bodice cut down to there, and a sweet looking face. It was one of his more interesting forges.]

Could I get you another drink, m'lord?

[ ariadne knows that working with a new team, isn't exactly going to be easy. And frankly, she didn't expect it to be. But now with their marks sudden need to take an unplanned vacation, causing the team to create a new layout, things were a bit more strained in the team dynamics then she would have planned. And sadly, Ariadne had now found herself staying put in her little part of the warehouse while the chemist and extractor argued off in the distance. ]

Hey, would you mind taking a look at this for me? [ she finally called off towards Holiday, letting her tone turn some hopeful at the possible breakthrough with the new level as she continued to piece together another section of the new level she was to be in. ]

[Mat gives the serving maid an appreciative glance, she's taller than he'd prefer, but then, his type lately has started to resemble Tuon more and more.]

I think I'll hold off on the drinks for now, I've still got a half a cup.

Say, is there a table for Dudo here?

[the appreciative glance was noted and Eames could refine the forge a little bit later if he thought it was needed. Though right now he rather thought he'd be just fine.]

Yes, M'lord.

[time to deploy the dimpled smile]

There is, M'lord. Shall I take you to it?
