ten_fwd_ooc | TEST DRIVE #5 - Low Gravity Gymnasium and Ten Forward

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.

Yuna's eyes glanced down at the man's drink and then back at the bartender. It was just something else she wasn't ready to deal with just yet.

She turned back to the bartender. "What about whiskey?" In this case she was fortunate to have remembered a drinks name. Her memory was usually fuzzy when it came to things names.

Yuna looked back over towards the man sitting next to her. "Do you remember how you got here?" He didn't look like someone from home or someone from the city and then there was the chance that this was his home.

"Are you sure about whiskey?" It just doesn't seem like the young woman was the kind of person who normally drank anything.

"I do not," Takegami replied, resting his elbows on the bar and folding his hands together. The heavy rings he wore twisted slightly and he lightly strokes them, as if soothing a kind of beast. His clothing had a slightly shabby look to it, although they were probably at one time very expensive, and there was a slight hint of dirt under his nails. "Last I remembered, we were in the middle of rehearsing a musical with the theater troop and then I was here."

Yuna sat up a little straighter and looked at her companion curiously. "You are in a theater troop?" She knew this was some place new but somethings seem to transcend worlds. It was interesting and a smile tugged at the edge of her lips as she thought about it.

A drink was placed in front of Yuna and it thankfully didn't have red specs in it. She brought the drink up to her lips but stopped to smell it first. It smelled normal or at least like the stuff Auron used to drink. The liquid burned as she swallowed and sent shivers through her body.

"I dabble. They found that I possessed a skill long lost to their world and decided that I must be a part of their act," he replied and then decided to take a sip of his drink. a moment, and then he sighed and pushed it away. "I am no fan of gin, so of course it must taste like gin."

With a sigh, he waved the bartender over and asked for something that was not like gin. It took a few minutes, but he was soon presented with something that looked sort of like a peppermint candy stick. Takegami took a sip, deemed it to be acceptable and waved the bartender off.

"Are you use to such appearances happening as well?"

"Appearances?" Yuna looked up from her drink curiously. She won't admit that she hadn't paid attention to his last question. Her mind was wandering across the stars.

She took her drink in her hand and took a long sip before setting it down again. She shivered again and felt as the burning hot liquid filled her with warmth.

"Being plucked from one world and placed into another," he said and waved his hand in a dismissive manner. "It seems that this is not that too strange of a matter to you."

He glanced down at her drink and then looked up at the bartender. "Do you have teas and coffees here?"

"It has happened once before but..." She squinted a moment before looking back at Takegami. "I'm still not sure how I got here."

She had been cleaning up the Coffee shop like every morning and a blink later she was here. It was frustrating because she was finally getting used to thinks back in the city. Now all her friends were gone again.

"Aaa," he murmured and tossed back his drink before ordering them both some coffee. There was no use in getting drunk, especially if this turned out to be a hostile place once the bar closed.

"The place I was in before had a machine that would randomly pull people from various places. They somewhat could control where they aimed, but could not focus the machine enough t pick exactly what they needed. It was most vexing."

"That sounds frustrating." Yuna lightly tapped her chin as she thought. "I was trapped in a city. I didn't know how I had gotten there but we couldn't figure out how to leave."

It was nice to meet someone else who was having similar experiences to her but it was still frustrating having to leave everyone behind.
