TEST DRIVE #16 - Turbolifts and Ten Forward
Option 001. Trapped in a Turbolift: This space travel thing is new to you, and you're starting to think the ship is purposely out to get you. A turbolift is just a grandiose name for an elevator, which should be the safest way to travel after all! But someone out there is out to get you, you're sure of it. Because the next thing you know, the lights flicker and the lift grinds to a stop. You're trapped, with whomever was unlucky enough to be in the lift with you.
It could be hours before you're rescued. These turbolifts span the entire massive ship, and don't just travel straight up and down. No, they can travel horizontally, vertically, sometimes even diagonally. You could be stuck between any deck now. There is a small access panel on one of the smooth walls, but how good are you with getting these things to work? Let's not forget that sudden stop tossed everyone around a little, and people could be hurt. Time to put your emergency thinking cap on, and make friends with the people beside you fast. You could be the only way back to freedom.
Conversely, you could slide that pack of cards out of your pocket and start a rousing game of gin rummy. Really it's up to you.
Option 002. Ten Forward: You have no idea what just happened. One minute you were home, minding your own business, and now you're on a spaceship in the middle of a crowded room! It looks like a bar. There are people eating and drinking, some in uniform, others not. Some are clearly aliens, and some of the food is looking rather strange too.
You've managed to land in Ten Forward. A long bar with barstools and a bartender span one side of the room, with a bank of strange computers on that same wall. It looks like people are ordering food and drinks from them. Tables are sprinkled throughout, and the far wall is nothing but floor to ceiling windows with a view out to space. It looks like a nice lounge, low conversation making the room hum.
Better ask some questions and find out where you are, or just tap the closest person on the shoulder and try to make friends. The bar is open.
he's not in charge here
The lights flickering, though. That's a bad sign. Or a sign he's simply trapped in an elevator with a really weird, but human, child.
"What sort of people does she kill?"
Poor baby
She's perfectly normal.
For a given value of normal.
"Bad people. Who hurt others." She raises her arms up again, clearly being over dramatic, "Like EVIL FAIRIES WHO KIDNAP PEOPLE!! Or STUPID GIRLS IN CLASS WHO THINK THEY'RE BETTER THAN YOU BECAUSE THEY GOT A PONY!! Or NECROMANCERS that eat HEARTS!! Or WRAITHS THAT STEAL YOUR SOULS!!! OR THOSE STUPID PEOPLE WHO WRITE MEAN LETTERS TO MOMMA AND SAY SHE'S A BAD SINGER AND THE AWARD SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SOMEONE ELSE!!"

"That's... quite the death toll," he says, after swallowing. "She must be really busy."
no subject
"She is! She is the bestus warrior princess ever!" she said. "Though momma said she can't kill Susie or those stupid people who say mean things about her."
There's a sigh at this. Because really.
"My name's Ceilidh! What's yours?"

"It's very nice to meet you," she said in that proper way that kids are told how to talk to adults. "That's what momma says. What's a demon? Are they horribly evil!? How do you kill them? Can silver hurt them? What about iron? Or hawthorn wood? Does cutting off their head work? Auntie Una cut off a vampire's head once when she was trying to interview them for a newspaper article when it tried to eat her. She said it was very rude of the vampire and it should have known better."
There's a pause in her ramble as she stops to breathe.
