ten_fwd_meme | TEST DRIVE #15 - Holodeck and Ten Forward

001: Where were you a minute ago? Well, you aren't there anymore. Instead, you're standing in a very large, dark room lined with yellow. There are doors at either end of it.

Here's where things get a little choose your own adventure-y. You could:

1: Approach a console filled with buttons, located a few feet away. Press one, and it'll let you out of the room. Travel down a long hallway and you'll be in Ten Forward, the Enterprises' entertainment lounge. Have a drink, mingle and try to figure out why you're here.

OR

2: Maybe you just muttered some vague request under your breath. Maybe you wished aloud you were somewhere else. Or for help? If you did, might be in a fire station. Muttered something about killing whoever dumped you here? Surprise - you're in a slasher movie!

Though they're confusing, these visions feel about as real as they can be. And guess what - other people can experience those fantasies with you, as if they too were really there. How ever will you escape? Or do you want to?

[OOC: Welcome to the Holodeck! If you choose this option, whatever your character chooses to say out loud will cause a virtual reality program to load and play. While your character feels as if what they're experiencing and seeing is quite real, they're purely living through the latest and best in what he Enterprise has to offer in entertainment. Make sure to detail what your character's fantasy is, so that those threading with them will know how to react.

Paige was expecting to orb into the attic.... with Leo. She looked around this strange, unfamiliar place. "Great! What happened now?" She muttered, looking out into space.

"Holy...."

She scrubbed her hands over her face. She had to figure out how she got here, and how she can get home.

"Oh, good, you're here too." Chris was sitting at a table drinking what looked like beer. "It's not exactly P3 is it?" Then he stopped. What if this was a younger Paige? What if she didn't know him? Well, Chris just shrugged inwardly. Whatever.

"Chris!" Paige exclaimed, as she orbed over to him and throwing her arms around him in a fierce hug. "You.... You scared the life out of me. No no it's not.... where are we?"

Chris returned the hug, a bit confused but always willing to give his favorite Aunt a hug. "Yeah....I guess that stab wound didn't turn out too well huh? You guys know it was Gideon right? Did you get him? Is Wyatt safe?"

Chris shrugged, looking around him at the 24th century decor. "Well, we've been kidnapped. As far as I can tell this guys not in the book. He's some sort of omnipotent asshole who thinks its fun to kidnap people from all different universes and see what happens. Personally, I hope he gets bored soon."

Paige pulled back, giving Chris a stern look before smacking him hard on the arm. "You totally deserved that for scaring the crap out of me, and turning your father into a physchotic avatar. She took a deep breath, calming down and centering herself. "Leo saved Wyatt but lost you, so I wouldn't call that a win.... exactly."

Paige rolled her eyes. The Again was applied. "Life was supposed to return to Normal after the world almost ending."

"Ow!"Chris rubbed his arm. His aunt had a mean right hook. "Okay, I didn't catch that last part but I'm guessing Dad didn't take my death well. But it was my birthday, right? So, everything turned out okay. Kind of. " Again, so nice of you to tell everyone that it was your birthday Chris. Secrets are not good.

"And I think life will return to normal again. It's just that whoever got us has more pull than the Elders. Or the Avatars. The way I see it, we deal with problems here as best we can and prepare. And when we actually get a glimpse of this guy, we'll be ready."

Paige gave him her 'well duh' look. She stepped back, putting her hands on her hips. "He tried to blow up the attic, and then he started killing Elders," She said quietly, a shiver running through her.

"It wasn't pretty. How are you sure that we can actually leave?"

"Wait he started killing Elders? Why? They didn't do this." He put his hands on his face, groaning. "This is so screwed up. But leaving, you had a question about leaving. Some people have gone and come back. Some have just gone. I'm choosing to believe their not dead since this guy doesn't seem overly hostile."

Paige sighed softly, and really wished that Leo were here right now. He could explain this so much better. "Gideon was an Elder," She pointed out quietly. "He felt betrayed, and frankly I don't blame him honestly. I was there Chris... it was horrible."

"I know Gideon was an Elder but it's not like it was sanctioned. " Chris paled. "Was it? Was this whole thing just a trick?" Chris is starting to understand the way Leo felt. Betrayed, unsure who to trust.

"It wasn't supposed to be like that."

"Of course not, but Leo was punished all the same," She said quietly, as she glanced back out the window. "It was bad.... We lost Leo... Pheobe and I apparently died," She held up her hand. "Long story..."

Hoping to stave off that conversation.

"Wait, you died?" Sorry Paige, you're not getting away that easily. Not in this family. "And what do you mean you lost Leo? Dad's okay right?"

"I promise. It's not nearly as weird as it seems." The voice was calm, quiet, and broke, as it's boyish owner smiled up at her. His grin was warm and friendly. Clark stepped up to the woman, and nodded.

"Welcome to the Enterprise, miss."

Clark bounced on his toes, the very picture of teen-aged dignity.

"The Enterprise," She repeated slowly. Paige looked at him curiously. He looked young, but then again with demons one could never tell how old they were.

"Miss huh? It's better than ma'am I suppose," She said with grin and a shrug.

"How old are you?"

"Yes, ma--- er, miss." He chuckled.

"Me? 16. Clark Kent from Smallville, Kansas."

He grinned at her, bobbing a bow.

"This place is weird, and kind of out of this world, and really kind of crazy, but most of the time, really, it's boring." He nodded.

Paige looked at him strangely for a second. "You think being in space is boring? What do you do back home?" She asked. She smiled, and stuck out her hand.

"I'm Paige by the way."

Matt grins and finishes the young woman's thought for her though not with the word she might have chosen. "Snit," he says with a chuckle, "new arrival huh?"

Paige stops mid-rant just staring at the man in front of her. She actually thought about this and burst out laughing.

"Oh you're good.... cute too," She said smiling at him. "What gave me away?"

Matt chuckles and comes to join her at the view port. "The intake of breath was a big clue. It was less wow and more oh my god I'm screwed."

Paige laughed as she looked at him, and then back again. "You know me well. I'm Paige."

Matt smiles again. "Matt, nice to meet you. Would you like the "where the hell am I" speech now or later?"

"Now's good," Paige said with a smile. "World might end later." She explained. She only wished she was joking.

"World is always ending," Matt replies, "but long story short, you are on a ship in space called the Enterprise in the 24th century and a creature called Q pulled you from your world here..because apparently he likes doing that."
