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!]

"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?"

(Ugh, ipad ate my reply, will try to rewrite)

"I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that we do know each other, or had at some point. Would hardly be the oddest thing to happen to me. A forest, hm? Doesn't seem to be Gamma. Only one source of water there, and I can hear at least two. Ah well, I thought the Library would be the last forest I ever saw."

She pushed off the tree and extended a hand. "Professor River Song. Archeologist." She smirked. "Among other things."

This woman spoke utter nonsense, sadly that was far from unusual for Snow in an average day. "It's the Enchanted Forest, or something just like it but it feels off. It was my home."

She took the offered hand and shook it with a nod. "Mary Margaret, teacher. Mother." Princess, adventurer, outlaw, really there was a lot to cover so maybe she should leave it at that. "Pleased to meet you."

She returned the handshake warmly. "Pleased to meet you as well." She released the other woman's hand.

"I can tell what you mean about it feeling off." It felt like Cal, like a not-quite-real-world. Which meant that this woman was probably dead. This woman had probably been saved.

"Where do you remember being last, before you were here?" she asked, sympathetically.

"I was in Storybrooke, a small town in Maine. But this looks just like the Enchanted Forest. It could almost swear it was."

She squinted and looked around but shook her head. "I don't know what happened, there wasn't another curse. We'd just saved Lily." She was talking more to herself than River at that point trying to puzzle it out.

Maine. Well, combined with her looks, that made Earth a pretty sure bet. Like the Doctor, she had a rather soft spot for Earth. That being where her parents were from, and where she grew up and all. Well, part of the time she grew up. Well.... one of the times she grew up and a bit of another.

"Another curse?" she asked. She'd broach the topic of Lily after, if need be. Getting people talking was usually the best way to learn. After all, just get the Doctor started...
