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.

Comments

ooc: it's great!

Even though she's hanging back there are people coming and going. She finally speaks up in an attempt at communication. "Sir-" she tries but the man walking by doesn't so much as glance her way. "Ma'am-" starts another attempt but this time she's literally walked through.

So, that settles it then. These people - these adults - can't see her. After Adstringendum and having all eyes on her regularly, it's definitely going to be an adjustment. Shark the cat saunters up and gives the Sister of Flight a friendly meow. Despite having pet him already, he's insistent in having even more attention.

So, without a second thought, Toothiana scoops the feline up in her arms who purrs contentedly.

ooc: eeee yay!

Steve drops his pencil.

He's familiar with Shark the Cat. Even if the feline hasn't been aboard that long, he's made himself pretty comfortable with following Steve into his quarters and trotting after him for treats and pets. Steve's gotten used to seeing him, but he's never seen him float before.

"Jumping Jehoshaphat," he murmurs, blinking at the sight. "Uh, Shark? Kitty-kitty?"

He clicks his tongue to get the cat's attention, but he doesn't look like he's in distress. He actually looks pretty content, and the closer Steve looks he can see indentations in his fur, as if something is holding him.

At first, Toothiana just blinks at Steve. It then finally occurs to her how absolutely bizarre this must look if one took her out of the picture. A floating cat. Shark responds to his call by stretching over Toothiana's arms and meowing. The feline continues to purr quietly as now, Steve might notice, the indentations in his fur move with Toothiana's hand.

Well. That's one to get someone's attention. Her eyes flit around the area. Maybe she could find some paper, a pen and write him a message. Those sorts of things are likely not rarities here, she has to remind herself. If not there has to be some way she can try and communicate.
