ten_fwd_ooc | TEST DRIVE #6 - The Bridge 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 Enterprise's 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. The Bridge: Well, aren't you a lucky duck? You've found yourself in hallowed quarters. Wherever you were before, you're not there anymore. Now you're in a room that could be some kind of command center or control room; there's a captain's chair flanked by seats for his chief officers, computer panels and stations at each interior wall, and before you a broad viewscreen that shows the wide expanse of space rushing towards you. Have you ever wanted to be a starship captain for a day? Well, here's your chance. Feel free to roam around, but try not to touch anything shiny.

[OOC: The Bridge isn't usually available for in-game posts, so if you've ever wanted to play there, here's your chance!]

That is not the reaction he was expecting. Though he's not sure what sort of response he was expecting.

Storybrooke. That's the name of the town his father lives in now, isn't it? And her name, what did his father say it was?

"There are a couple." He pauses for a moment. "My -- he told me your name, but I've forgotten what it was."

"I'm Belle." She answered straight away, happy to offer up her name. She'll just leave off that last part that her name is now Belle Gold which..well...technically makes him her son.

Still she was curious about the PADD in his hand as she hadn't seen anything like it before.

"Can you tell me who else is here, if you know their names?" It's clear he hasn't met her before which is a problem. As it would appear she is from the future.

"Henry." Even if that whole thing is rather complicated. It's probably best to let his father explain all of that, since he knows it better, and Henry still makes a point of avoiding him. "Mr. Gold." He can't refer to him as his father yet. "I think there are a couple of others who will be, in the future, but aren't yet."

So her husband is here. Her heart sinks a touch. Belle works at shoving the dagger into a pocket inside her jacket. Maybe it isn't the best solution but it keeps the item close to her and out of sight from others. "Maybe, if there is something pulling all of us in one by one. A spell or a curse."

She shuffles her feet awkwardly. What does she say to him, really? From her standpoint he's already gone. How did he end up here and why? "I thought I should let you know if you need anyone to talk to," She nervously smiles. "about anything I'd be more than happy to lend an ear." The very least she can do is not spoil a chance to get to know Neal after what she has been through.

Maybe they'll never be close, but Belle can try.

"I mean they're from the Enchanted Forest, not from Storybrooke." He's not sure he made that clear before.

"I'll keep that in mind." He hasn't made any close friends in his time here yet, so he doesn't really have anyone to talk to, but he's not sure how much he wants to discuss just yet with this woman who's so important to his father.

"Oh." That's a problem. Things in the Enchanted Forest don't exactly have the same dynamics as Storybrooke. That should be interesting should she ever run into them.

"Can you show me around?" She asks softly. "I suppose I may as well get used to this place."

"Sure. There's not too much to see. Most of the ship is off limits to guests." He has a feeling there's going to be a lot to explain.

"That's counterproductive." She replies warily. "What do they expect us to do if we're not allowed in many places on the ship?"

"I haven't quite figured that out yet. We're just guests, basically, so there's not much that's expected of us."

"I suppose that means there aren't any jobs to take on to amuse ourselves with." She frowns at this. "Do they, at least, have a library?'

"The jobs are all done by members of the Federation. They're the ones in uniforms." He points someone out so she can see what he means.

He holds out the PADD device. "Books can be read on these. It's not the same as a library, I know, but it's something."
