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!]

Roy stared, listening, but also glancing around now and then. This was starting to sound like some of the rumors he had heard about the weird stuff going on in Star City this year. And that as not good.

"Felicity's here too? Did Dig make it yet?" Because if the rest were there, Dig and Laurel were sure to follow. Those two couldn't stop themselves.

Roy winced, then nodded. "What can I do?" Sure, he is used to being independent now, but if Oliver needed him? Well, he would be there in a heartbeat. Oliver had changed his life in ways Roy would never be able to thanks him for. Except one way; never walking away if the man needed him.



...A flash of memory, as Roy stared into Oliver's eyes, right after a fight on the street. "Don't abandon me." The words had come out desperate and afraid.

The answer was there fast and sure. "Never." And that moment had made Roy begin to change himself forever.

Roy nodded. "I've got your back."

"We need our friends right now," Oliver says softly, "Thea is doing about as well as I am and it's been a struggle to help her and try to help myself. Thea's barely sleeping. I barely eat. We just need to know it's okay to be the broken ones for a while Roy."

[foreverinred]

"I've got your back, Oliver." A rarity, that, but he did it, here and now, using his mentor's name. "You've taken care of me, been there for me, saved me. Now it's my turn."

He nodded. He was Roy Harper, Red Arrow, Arrow, and Arsenal. He could do this.

Oliver smiles and claps Roy on the shoulder. "Good, now tell me how are you feeling. It's a lot to take in at first."

[foreverinred]

"I think if it wasn't for you, and it is wasn't for the situation, I'd be overwhelmed. But, well, I'm used to operating in crazy happenings, right? As long as I have something to do, something to focus on, I'll be okay." He grinned at Oliver, that cheeky grin of his that came out sometimes.

"I'll save my breakdown for when it's my turn, later."
