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
Kennex allows his eyes to flick over the rest of Ten Forward, an attempt to pick out particularly starshippy qualities, and finding that there are none. Not really.
This place looks more like some really cheesy stage-set from an Asimov short story. It's definitely science-fiction-y, and it may even be a starship ... but only in Make-Belief Land.
Kennex does let his hand rest though. If someone wanted to shoot him, they'd have done it by now.
"So you were suddenly blinked here too?" He resists the temptation to rub his face. "Is that how it works?"
no subject
"Yeah. Yeah, I guess you could say so," he says, propping an elbow on the bar. "Not sure if that's how it works for everybody, but it seems like the norm with most of the folks who get pulled on board. One minute you're strolling down the avenue, and the next you're in the middle of Ten Forward."
He pauses. "Need a drink?"
It seems like the next reasonable direction.
