TEST DRIVE #5 - Low Gravity Gymnasium and Ten Forward

[tenforward_m]

Option 01. Ten Forward: The first thing you see is a bar. A large, lively bar filled with many different faces and many different smells, sights and sounds. This is Ten Forward, the Enterprises' off-duty lounge; feel free to get acquainted with your fellow travelers and try to find somebody who's in charge: this is your new home now, after all...



Option 02. Aboard the Enterprise, The Low-Gravity Gymnasium: The gym is a large room with several alcove-like sections housing the aerobics and martial arts areas, a parrises squares area, an anbo-jyutsu court, and a separate fencing room. While there is normally a zero-gravity area as well, today all of the gym is in zero-gravity conditions.

Zero-gravity can be, well, kind of weird, because it's not like a gradual loss of the pressure holding you to the floor--you may have taken the turbolifts, just expecting to take a leisurely run, or maybe work out with a treadmill to get in some cardio, but the minute you step into the gym you're floating, as is anything you might have been holding or bringing with you.

Do you freak out, start flailing and trying to swim through the air back to where you can escape? Do you make the best of it and tough it out to get your exercise in, or do you start having fun with the sudden game of weightlessness? Pick your personal scenario and have fun with all the other weightless people.

Ezri's mouth opened in a little O shape as she heard herself. No, not herself. Jadzia. Kind of herself. Definitely not the time to introduce herself as her past hosts. That would be so bad. Time would be so messed up, Temporal Investigations would drop kick her into the nearest cell, if Temporal Investigations still existed by the time she got back. What if she screwed up time so bad it ceased to exist! Was that even possible? Could time just stop?

Maybe she could just play mute. That would work long enough for someone to do a medical scan on her. The Dax symbiont's readings were recorded in this time in Curzon, and it wouldn't take a feat of genius to compare them.

But, instead, Ezri opened her mouth a little wider and said, "I can be a little indecisive. It's kind of a phase I'm going through. Keep hoping I'll out grow it!" And she gave a self deprecating little laugh at her own expense.

That she was a Trill on board a space station was, of course, going to draw Jadzia's attention. It wasn't that she was starved for Trill interaction, but they were the same race of beings. Still, it was the reaction that had even Jadzia blinking slightly, one eyebrow arching slowly. She would almost question if she had come on too strong, but she hadn't.

She smiled though, as she could understand that. There were days within her own mind where she had a particular craving that wasn't really hers. Thankfully it hadn't been that hard to adjust to having a symbiont, and she had learned to like some foods and drinks that she might otherwise never have had. "The first thing that comes to mind- if you could have one thing, what would it be?"

Ezri was nervous. Oh she was so nervous. In front of her was Jadzia. Dax. Jadzia. Not only was she legendary in the eyes of everyone on Deep Space Nine, but she was so much more in control than Ezri was. After all, the woman had training. Years of it. And she had wanted to be joined, rather than joined in a bad accident or twist of fate.

"Um...." The first thing she still wanted was gagh. Probably because Jadzia was right there. Thanks so much self.

"Tautean salad." Ezri finally said, wondering how much of that order was Jadzia too.
