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.

no subject
For a moment, Peter's got a slightly dazed look on his face. He hadn't expected company or anyone to talk to, but it's not like he's the kind of person to flat-out say 'no', so.
There's the small shake of his head and then he's gesturing to the seat across from him.
"Yeah, yeah of course."
no subject
"Thanks. It's kinda insane, isn't it?" Alec says, waving his hand vaguely at the place around them.
no subject
He allows himself a moment to survey the room, looking for the insanity Alec is referring to. There's a quirk of his mouth, obliging.
"Yeah," he says. "That's - uh. Definitely one way of putting it. Did you just get here? Or are you - you one of the earlier arrivals?"
no subject
"I just got here a little bit ago," he says. "Checking things out."
no subject
"'Checking things out'?"
He sounds suspiciously like Q ...
no subject
Then anticipating a possible question.
"No. I can't take you home. This is their home reality and their rules. I can't override them. If I could, I would. I just like visiting multi-demensional nexus type places and the Enterprise has currently turned into one. Hence, checking things out."
no subject
"So you can just come and go as you please? I didn't think that was possible. Q seemed to be pretty powerful."
no subject
He doesn't mean to be weird here, but he doesn't so much always physically change realities as hop into alternate reality versions of himself, rather like Quantum Leap.
Which is weird and confusing and why he changes the subject. "So, who are you?"
