TEST DRIVE #1 - Ten Forward

[tenforward_m]

You know how you were standing there, back in your home world, just minding your own business?

Time to forget all about that.

Instead of doing whatever the heck you were just doing, you're standing in the middle of this very stylish, sedate barroom. Happily, you're not alone there - in fact you're surrounded by people who seem to be as confused as you are...and some of them look a little, well unusual

Now would be a great time to do....well, something. Ask some questions of the person nearest you, throw a fit, stage a coup....maybe do a little exploring? No matter what you do, you're going to be here for a very long time.

For others might call it the USS Enterprise, but for the foreseeable future, you'll be calling it home.

[OOC: this test drive's open until the next app period.]

"...Nelson, I don't know what kind of deal you made with those Time Babies, but if you don't get me off this floating tin can and back in the Widowmaker in two seconds Today's Experiment's going to be the director's cut of Plan Nine!"

...enjoy your very loud, very blonde new arrival, guys.

That tone.

Well, he may not be entirely sure what all those words mean--at least in relation to each other; the words themselves he's all right with--but he certainly knows the tone. A sort of... exasperated superiority? Having to deal with people who are not worth one's time and yet take up more of it than they need to, because they can't manage even simple concepts? Something like that.

"Ooh, I feel like I just walked in on something interesting. Don't mind me."

It happens to be the tone that regularly puts the fear of death into robots worldwide. But his voice jolts her only partway out of her rant.

"Great!" She gestures toward Loki. "I told you to stop putting them in here, Bobo." Then she finally addresses Loki directly. "So, what are you? A size five hat?"

"Oh, no, I don't do inanimate," he says. "Too much of a liability. People can pick you up and carry you around, and you can't do anything about it. Anything else, though. Well... not fish anymore, either. Same problem. But I take requests."

Sure he does.

"Ha ha ha." Somebody's not amused. "Just hurry up and give me your measurements, I've got an electric chair that needs filling!"
