TEST DRIVE #1 - Ten Forward



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.]

"I'm not lost. My girl is."

Well, and so is he, but that's a fact he's come to live with. He's always been.

"She disappeared, and... she shouldn't be on her own. She gets scared."

Mostly when she's outside under the open sky, but... would you look at those windows? She spent all that time working on getting used to the sky, and there's nothing but stars. This isn't right.

The woman looks concerned.

"Tell me about your daughter. What's her name?"

She invites him to sit, still giving off a calming aura. Whether he takes her up on the offer or not, she's here to help.

He's surprisingly easily led when he's out of sorts--at least, when that out-of-sorts doesn't involve having people pointing weapons at him. It seems safe enough. He'll be polite, and he'll find out where she is.

"Eleanor. Her name's Eleanor. She's sixteen, almost as tall as I am, brown hair, blue eyes. She's dressed kinda like I am too. She's a good girl, it's just easier for her to climb around building things when she's wearing trousers."

She's a tomboy and her behavior's a little strange sometimes, but she's as good as anybody else. Maybe even better than most.

"I'm a strong advocate for trousers when it comes to accomplishing hard work. Dresses get caught in everything."

There's a hint of amusement in Guinan's eyes, but it quickly bows to concentration.

"Eleanor... She isn't on the ship."

At least, not yet.

You can't wear dresses under diving suits, either.

Well... maybe, but it would get awfully bunchy. And that's all he's going to think about women's legs today.

"How can you tell?" he asks. "Do you know everyone who's here? Did she get sent somewhere else?"

"Everyone on the Enterprise comes through Ten Forward eventually."

Guinan knows some better than others, but she pays attention, and she likes to listen. She hasn't met anyone by Eleanor's name and description yet.

"And sometimes I get feelings about people."

It seems a strange place to have a welcome center, but if your people come aboard by being transported in... well, that probably changes architectural requirements. No entrances, just exits.

Or maybe it's where everyone takes their meals? There don't seem to be that many people aboard, if that's the case. Or it's an off time. He has no idea how time works here.

"What kind of feelings?"

She recognizes his clothes, his mannerisms, even the shapes and sounds his words make. He's from a time when, if you weren't too careful, you could find yourself strung up for talking about anything remotely resembling magic.

Granted, he has just been pulled onto a ship traveling through outer space, but Guinan is trying to be gentle with him.

"Think of it as a mother's intuition. Sometimes I can sense danger, and when it comes to your daughter, I believe she's safe."

She retrieves a bottle from behind the bar. He might recognize the amber color as being a good bourbon whiskey.

"Would a drink calm your nerves?"
