TEST DRIVE #3 - Alien Bazaar/Ten Forward

#1


Option 001. Alien planet, marketplace: So you're new to this whole space travel thing. The ship is cool and all, but there are hundreds of alien worlds out there. You want to explore. To see what the universe REALLY looks like.

Well, here's your chance! Your first stop is this lovely indoor marketplace, which looks kind of like a mall. There are stalls one after the other as far as the eye can see, and they sell all kinds of things: food, clothes, trinkets, animals, fabrics, jewelry, perfumes, books, etc etc. Some things look human, easy to recognize; other things look very alien. There are two levels, and constant chatter as people hawk their wares and discuss prices.

Do you want to explore? Poke at the weird shops? Buy a gift for a new friend? Flirt with someone at the food court? Maybe you see a pickpocket, and must run to the aid of the victim. Maybe there's some other villainy afoot. After all, a crowded marketplace is a good place for villains to lurk, causing trouble. Whether you're a hero or just an unassuming traveler, there proves to be some adventure for you on this planet.

Option 002. Aboard the Enterprise, Ten Forward: You have no idea what just happened. One minute you were home, 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.

You've managed to land in Ten Forward a long bar with barstools and a bartender, tables sprinkled throughout, and the far wall is nothing but windows 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.

Suddenly, he was holding a drink. A green liquid. "Thank you. What is it?" Rhade asked rather suspiciously. Green drinks that just appeared in your hand were ominous. Might be poisoned. Not that anyone would ever admit it.

"One of me? You've never seen a Nietzschean before? Where have you been?" His people were nothing if not prolific.

"Do Wraith live longer then?" This was intriguing. "How old are you?"
theycallmetodd: (hehe)

[personal profile] theycallmetodd 2014-07-25 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"I count my years in millennia." There's a slight smile. "So yes, we do live longer."
goldencobra: (S1 - Cool!)

Eyes widen in shock and awe. "That's so cool." He grins and writes that down as well. "My dad told me he was three hundred and I thought that was old. But millennia is something else."
theycallmetodd: (talk)

Hehehe

"Really?" That catches Todd's interest. Humans don't become that old. Perhaps this boy isn't as human as he seems. Unless, of course, it it just the fantasies of a child. "Tell me more about your father."
goldencobra: (S1 - Thinking)

Never needed it before now :)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Henry's grin almost vanishes completely and he shrugs. "What do you want to know?" He's not as interested in talking about his father. Though most of that is because of the imposter Gold there was on board.
theycallmetodd: (Think)

[personal profile] theycallmetodd 2014-07-25 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He sees the smile fade, but he's curious now. "From what I understand, your kind do not become so old." Assuming that they are talking about humans. "Not nearly."
goldencobra: (S1 - Hmmm)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not usually no. But he's cursed." Another shrug. "Do you have any kids, Todd?" Yes, he is trying to move the subject back to you. What of it?

theycallmetodd: (Attentive)

[personal profile] theycallmetodd 2014-07-25 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Cursed? He'll have to fish out more information on that. It is simply too curious to leave alone. But, he'll play along for now, fully intending to return to this subject later. "We do not have family ties the way you do." Neither yes or no, that.
goldencobra: (S1 - Thinking)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh. I suppose you wouldn't need to have kids so much if you live so long." It seemed logical to Henry. And as with everything else, he wrote it down. "So what do you do all day? If you were at home, I mean."
theycallmetodd: (talk)

[personal profile] theycallmetodd 2014-07-25 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, we do reproduce. Just very differently." There isn't room for much sentimentality among the Wraith.

"I have the command of a substantial number of hive ships. Or, had before I came here. I fully intend to return to my position."
goldencobra: (S1 - Excited)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well you'd have to or the species would die." It seemed obvious.

"Hive ships? Like space ships? Like this one?" Again, he was starting to sound in awe. "So you're like a Captain?"
theycallmetodd: (Attentive)

[personal profile] theycallmetodd 2014-07-25 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Space ships, yes." Not that he has any idea yet how this ship would compare to a hive. He has only seen one room so far, after all. "That would indeed be a good comparison."
goldencobra: (S1 - Smile)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"So you'll be used to this then. Where I come from, we don't even know there are other species out in space yet. This place is over three hundred years in my future."

And he thinks his dad will still be the same then if magic has anything do with it.

"So there is not only displacement in space happening here, but displacement in time as well. Interesting." Interesting, and most likely problematic. And certainly annoying.
goldencobra: (S1 - Hmmm)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes. And not just that." Considering there was a split in the timeline between him and the Gold here. "Not sure how to explain the other thing though."

"Oh man, this is seriously awesome!" Gentaro exclaimed, more likely than not way too loudly, as he pumped his fist in the air.

To anyone passing by, they would see a kid who looked an awful lot like a punk delinquent running from one stall to another, staring at the merchandise in complete awe before buzzing off to find something else to check out.

"The stuff in space is so cool." He grinned, even if he was just talking to himself. "I've definitely gotta take something back for Yuuki!"
theycallmetodd: (Pensive)

[personal profile] theycallmetodd 2014-07-25 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"It would be greatly appreciated if you tried." He needs to know what he's dealing with, the sooner the better. This is as good a place to start as any.
goldencobra: (S1 - Sad)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Henry nodded, wanting to for his new friend, and tried to recall what Gold had said.

"Well...something happened a long time ago and it caused the timeline at home to split somehow. And now there's man here who looks like my dad but he's not my dad and he never was my dad. Does that make sense?"

He probably screwed that up.
theycallmetodd: (calm talk)

[personal profile] theycallmetodd 2014-07-25 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Todd nods slowly. "Yes... Alternate realities and parallel timelines. I am familiar with the concept." Though that complicates things even further. He can't be sure he's even in his own reality. "Thank you, Henry. You have been most helpful."
goldencobra: (S1 - Hugs)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
He smiles, glad to have helped. "I don't really understand it myself. Just that there's this man who has some of my dad's memories but not the ones of raising me. I'm glad I could help. You're really interesting too."

After a moment of indecision, he puts the notebook down and gives Todd a hug.

Haruto wasn't kidding when he described this kid as 'excitable'. He wasn't sure he liked the concept of a high school Kamen Rider, but then again, he wasn't that much younger than Philip.

"Ah, maybe I should bring something back for Akiko..." He said, as though it was the first time he'd thought of it. Assuming Q would let them take it at all. That was the only way she'd ever believe him, anyway.
theycallmetodd: (hehe)

[personal profile] theycallmetodd 2014-07-25 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Todd is hard to surprise. This whole displacement in time and space and reality was of course very unexpected, but he'll deal with it like any other problem. But this? This really does surprise him. He can't say he's ever had a tiny human latch onto him before. It's absurd. But also amusing. He can't help a chuckle, and pats the boy on his back.
goldencobra: (S1 - Smile)

[personal profile] goldencobra 2014-07-25 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
After a moment, he pulls back and sits back down as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. "Do you want to keep talking? I'm sure there's loads more you could tell me about the Wraith. But if I'm bothering you, I could go."

The thank you had sounded like a conversation ender so he wasn't sure. He likes Todd but he doesn't want to be around if the man doesn't want him.

[personal profile] mrfriendship 2014-07-25 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Gentaro couldn't help but overhear someone talking to himself too, and when he looked over to see who it was his grin grew even wider.

"Akiko is one of your buddies, right? Does she like space too?"
