You're waiting for a train...

This is an Inception AU Meme




The rules are quite simple:

Step 1: Comment with your character's name and title in the Inception-verse in the subject line (The fandom too, if you wish, but it's not necessary)

Step 1a: Titles and descriptions are as follows:

Architect: The Architect is the one who builds the dream locations, whether it's a mock up of a real place, or somewhere completely from scratch, it's their job to make sure that the mark doesn't know that their environment isn't real

Chemist: The Chemist is the one who supplies the Somnacin, the dream-machine drug, whether they mix their own or get it from a reputable distributor. Generally the one who keeps an eye on the sleepers topside.

Extractor: The Extractor is the person who does most of the intensive work, they're the ones who actually collect the information from the mark within the dream, whether it's by talking it out of them or breaking into their safe to get it.

Forger: The Forger is something of a wild card, Forgers can change their appearance in a dream, this is not a skill most people have, appearing only as themselves. Generally it's a Forger's job to take on the appearance of someone close to the mark, get the information needed from them as smoothly as possible.

Mark: The Mark is the person who has the information that the extraction team is after. Rich businessman, government drone who's been embezzling from the company coffers, cheating spouse, you name it. Someone's paid big money to get the information you have.

Point: The Point is the one who pulls all the information together, on the mark and on teammates, it's up to them to make sure the job goes as smoothly as possible.

Tourist: The Tourist is someone who's just along for the ride, whether they're the one who's paying for the extraction and they're along to protect their investment, or whether they're someone's Yoko Ono, they shouldn't be there, because they aren't trained, but circumstances have thrown them in as well.

Shade: The Shade is a memory of someone, lodged in the back of one of the team's minds. Not always malevolent, but sometimes so, they may be dead, they may be otherwise lost, but the Shade is a person who only exists in dreams.

(of course, if you already play someone from Inception, you can change their title or stick with the canon one, it's up to you!)

Step 2: Tag around with one of the following scenarios (or make up your own, I'm not the boss of you)

Planning stages: This is the part where the whole thing looks a bit like Oceans Eleven, getting the team together, making sure everyone's available, pinning down a timeline, setting up surveillance of the mark and so on.

Practice run: Now the job is well underway and testing is required to make sure everyone knows what they're supposed to be doing and when, this is also when plans get finalized, and is the best time to weed out any potential problems.

On the job: It's go time! Hopefully everyone knows their part and nobody's going to crash the party. But of course it can't be that easy, can it?

After the job: Well the job's over, was it a success? A failure? Did everyone survive or did someone get left behind with their brain leaking out their ears? Is it time to celebrate or time to cut and run?

Step 3: Have fun!

Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock ( BBC ) | Point

[ They say the shared dream is addictive and no one knows this better than Sherlock. It started slow. A dream to escape the monotonous humdrum of the waking world. A dream for relief. A dream to cure boredom. In his dreams he would built a world of gas lamps and english fog. Cobblestone streets and handsome cabs. He projected the vague idea of the perfect criminal and his subconscious sewed in the missing portions. It was a rush, an addiction. He needed the dream. He spent years in the world he had created. It was his reality. ]

They had to stop him eventually. Pull the plug on his somnacin habit.

Wake up, Sherlock.

It's Mycroft's orders but Lestrade's handiwork that forces him back. Back into the world of the boring little people with their boring little lives. He felt so much older, so much - wiser. Reality gave him limits. In the dream, he didn't feel things like tired or hungry. He didn't need things like rest. He couldn't delete events or people in the real world. It grated on him.

It doesn't take him too long to slip. Dissapearing is easy. Fake suicide naturally. Roof as choice of weapon. He's just a dead junkie as far as the world is concerned. The somnacin habit, however, is an expensive one so he figures working in subconscious security is the way to go.

They leave him on point because that's the only thing that he can handle. As an architect, he focuses too much on detail. He can't build for others, his creations are too rigid and impersonal. They never leave him around chemicals (He's injected 7% Somnacin solution into his veins during a job once - it helps me think was his only remark of excuse). He's too cold to be a forger, he understands characters but cannot think like them. He can't extract, not really. He's too cocky for it, too sure and arrogant. He can never get the mark to trust him. On point Sherlock is spectacular. He can read into people's histories, hack into their files. He works with data more than people and he finds comfort in that distance. He's organized and meticulous about his information. It's his job to know what others do not and it works for him. ]

[Hermes has a deceptively rich inner life. It comes of not needing to hold down a day job or put pants on in the morning, it leaves him time to spend hours scouring packets of information and Google Image Search for the perfect image he needs to put in his scene. Right now he's out on the table next to his tank, leaving damp stains on a set of mansion blueprints. Yes, he can work with this.]
