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.

"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.
