TEST DRIVE #15 - Holodeck and Ten Forward

[ten_fwd_mods]

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.

Open til next month's test drive!]

"Fire fight. It's not as bad as it looks." It's bad. Oh my God it's bad. Jane barely bites back a yelp as she sits up and rolls her shoulders as if to say 'see? totally fine over here. nothing to see. move along.' She's moving more jerkily than a nine year olds attempt at building a fully functioning robot.

Climbing to her feet is a new kind of hell, but she does it, because she's got a point to prove, and also who the hell is this guy to question her like that, anyway?

"This your ship?"

It's very....black and yellow.

Have a Clark!

[kentsluck]

Clark was nearby, eating, and when she appeared, and looked like that? He was over to her side in a flash, almost literally.

"Lay still. How badly are you injured, ma'am?"

He is already tapping at a PADD to summon medical assistance.

He wore a plaid shirt, glasses, and jeans, now somewhat rumpled as he knelt at her side.

McCoy managed to get out of that room and on his way down the hallway, all the while he's trying to figure out why he was on the

Enterprise

, yet nothing looked like his

Enterprise

.

He got a drink, and parked his ass at a table to attempt to center himself and hopefully someone would walk by that he knew.

Clark incoming!

[kentsluck]

Clark had been here awhile, and had gotten used to seeing people do that, stop, sit down and sort of look confused. By now, he knew what it meant, and a minute later, Clark was walking up to the other side of the table, and a small grin was on his face.

"Let me guess; one minute you were somewhere else, the next, you were here, with no explanations, right?" His voice was gentle.

[diplomaticsolutions]

"It's like a code..." She still has a copy of it back in her guest quarters that she shares with Jadzia. "It's a guide as to the principles of the Federation. I suppose simply put, noninterference with other cultures and civilizations, especially those who are not spacefaring."

Of course it seems that Q doesn't follow this at all.

[zero_sweetness]

"I'm not a trick--" Silva begins to defend herself but Rei's hand pats her and she shuts up.

"Nevermind her. What kind of bar is this? The view is awesome," with his drink in hand, he spun on his stool to lean back against the bar and take in the stars. As was ever his protocol when people got too nosy about all this Makai Knight stuff, deflect and redirect.

[diplomaticsolutions]

Her lips purse slightly, as the sting is still there. A man she had respected so much... Yet dwelling on that would accomplish little.

"On this ship. I've heard that they do dock at places, and you can visit? But the people onboard do handle the situation quite well, especially considering they have no say in who suddenly appears aboard their vessel."

[dammitkirk]

Leonard snorted.

"You could say that," he said in a Georgia drawl. "One minute I'm on the bridge of the

Enterprise

, the next thing I'm in that room. And I know we hadn't even left the dock, so it wasn't a dream or being dead."

Because I cannot resist..... (And am watching the orginal episodes with my father)

[professorsong]

The doors would slide open. River had wanted to check out this holodeck technology, but when the doors opened, she stopped, seeing him.

Oh, she knew who this had to be... but... how? Just to be sure, she pulled her notebook - Tardis blue and designed to look like the sides of that beloved blue box. She flipped through the pages, looked at her image of him, and... her notes. Then closed the book with a grin.

"Well. Maybe it is my birthday after all," she said with a flirty smile.

Oh. This would be fun.

Presuming this is holodeck?

[professorsong]

"I've been called many things, but charming may well be a new one," River said, leaning against a tree, behind the woman.

This certainly promised to be fun.

[kentsluck]

"Well, long story short. You've been whisked here by a strange alien being with the powers of a god, who is enigmatic, a trickster, and rarely shows his face. So far, we haven't figured out a way to make him send anyone back, though people do occasionally vanish."

Clark paused. "You're in the 24th Century, aboard the USS Enterprise, the fifth of it's name."

[diplomaticsolutions]

There is that soft nod of her head. Padmé has always been one to believe that working together, people could accomplish more. It had worked with the invasion of Naboo after all. "We are a minority though... They do a medical check to ensure that they protect you and others on the ship. The man who looked me over... He was not aware of any other who- who had passed."

[stark_spangled]

Most people may not expect to see someone who looks like Steve turn so immediately apologetic at the scolding from the AI, but with brow beetled and chin dipping a little, he clears his throat in embarrassment and speaks up.

"No, I didn't mean to be offensive. Sorry, uh ... ma'am," he mutters, scratching his cheek. OK, so it's not quite like Stark's computers; on the other hand, Steve is wise enough not to get on JARVIS' bad side. "It's a starship lounge. Welcome to the Enterprise."

He smiles amiably. He can sense a redirection like a canary senses carbon monoxide, but in situations like this it's always better to give tit for tat.

YAY!

[savedbylove]

Emma would never admit it to anyone that she actually enjoyed her time in the Enchanted Forrest. It was insane that was for sure, but it was also where she started to see Killian, not as Captain Hook, but as Killian Jones. She created this program when she was feeling homesick.

She heard the Charming, and started to walk in the direction of the voice. Her mouth fell open when she saw who it was. "Mom?"

[kittened]

Felicity was walking by the table on her way out when she spotted the newcomer. She bit her lip but stopped. "Excuse me.... are you alright? Of course not right? You look not okay.... not that not okay isn't okay. I'm going to stop talking in 3, 2, 1...."

[seekingcrocodile]

This is...strange. He'd come in here intending to load the program he'd created, the Jolly Roger, because it's possibly the closest he'll ever get to standing on its deck again. Except there already is a program loaded, which normally would be enough for him to turn around the come back later so as not to disturb anyone, but this is the Enchanted Forest. He can think of only one person on the ship who would use the Enchanted Forest option on in this infernal room.

"Emma?"

[charmingjames]

David looked around himself completely confused. He was standing in the Enchanted Forest, but something didn't feel right. He couldn't put a finger on what was bothering him about it though. "Snow," he called, "Emma? Where are you?"

He starts walking hoping against hope he can find his family before something bad happened.

[Holodeck]

David dropped into a crouch sword in one hand and looked around. Something about this whole situation felt wrong. The trees weren't moving and he was pretty sure it had been breezy when he'd first entered the Forest. He stood up and looked around. "Snow....Emma...Hook," he called out warily, "is anyone here?"

[Ten Forward]

David blinked and looked around him. "Where am I," he asked trying figure out how he had gone from facing off against his daughter in Storybrooke to a clearly not in Storybrooke anymore lounge. "What is going on? Where is my family?"

[kentsluck]

Clark was smiling as he looked around. He had been here for about a month now, and he had only begun to see what was possible in this era. So many things had changed, and yet, people seemed the same, even the aliens. He grinned. Somehow, that didn't surprise him, and yet, sometimes, his old kid brain was still startled by the wonder of it all.

Today he was sitting in Ten Forward, juggling a ball and two mugs of coffee. So far, he hadn't dropped a single, well, drop. He was also people watching, and occasionally would stop to take notes, or just write down a thought. He had replicated something like a real pen and paper, preferring them to the PADD, even though he had one of those nearby, too.

it is

[hopeisntafairytale]

"Oh! Hello." The sudden appearance of a new face was not unusual anymore but she certainly didn't seem to fit in with the forest. Snow's hand slid to her hip casually, but she was no longer armed with sword or bow. Mary Margaret was not as prepared as Snow White.

"Sorry, but do I know you?"

Re: YAY!

[hopeisntafairytale]

A crunch of steps on fallen leaves and branches meant someone else was nearby but who? Mary Margaret turned and saw the blond woman, her face broke into a wide smile and she rushed toward Emma with arms open. "Emma!"

[hopeisntafairytale]

The voice was familiar but not one she expected here. How on Earth..ok that was a phrase she needed to rethink these days. "Hook?" She ducked under a branch and turned toward the path. Ahead was the darkly handsome rogue who had so smitten her daughter. "Hook." She walked toward him. "What are you doing here? Where is Emma?"

[hopeisntafairytale]

"David!" As soon as she heard his voice she smiled, he would always find her he'd said. He'd spoke it in both threat and promise and never had he failed. "David, I'm here." She called out trying to orient on where she had heard him.

Hope you don't mind a Henry

[geneticallyscrewed]

Henry often used the programs of the Enchanted Forest he'd found in the database. This one had been left behind by a Mr Gold so he assumed it was accurate.

He'd also assumed he was alone here but heard the word 'Charming' and turned. Due to the dress of his maternal grandmother, he further assumed she as not part of the program. "Not Charming. But would his grandson do?" He asked, with a smile.

[bastard_sobriquet]

For a moment, the joy of Adam easily overwhelms the hatred of Worth. For a moment, he forgets. For a moment, all is well and marvelous, and there are things to see and do. His face spreads in a smile.

"Helen! Is this heaven? Look at all this! What wonders to behold! I thought I had died and..."

Which is precisely when all the memories flood back in, and the dam breaks, and the smile becomes a snarl.

"I died. You killed me. You killed us both!"
