TEST DRIVE #6 - The Bridge and Ten Forward

[ten_fwd_mods]

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!]

She chuckles. "Don't start forming bad habits." She tilts her head to the side. "Well do you have a family now? I figure you're old enough to be married if you've met anyone yet." She smiles. "What are some of your hobbies now? I mean the sky's the limit. There are a lot of years missing between the both of us."

[darkestbeliever]

Oh, if only she knew. He chuckled too to hide the irony.

"I have a wife and a son." He pulls out his wallet from his back pocket, pulling out a photograph of the three of them. "Alleyne and Noah. He's about six in this photo so it's quiet old. But I think he'll always be that age to me." Certain magical abilities don't help that.

"As for hobbies, I don't really do that much. I run the pawn shop now. Noah's actually the sheriff. And the rest of my free time I spend with my family."

[chippedvaliance]

"They're darling." She leans in to take a closer look at the picture. "I wish I could meet them." And she is the most sincere when she says that. She does find it odd he took over the pawnshop, but perhaps Rumpel left it to him to keep all those magical items in the family and away from others.

"Do you spend all your time in Storybrooke or can we still not cross the town line in the future?" From her point in time it was just a wall surrounding the town but who knows. They haven't had much luck leaving regardless.

[darkestbeliever]

"You do. Noah adored you at that age." He winked. All the grandparents and great-grandparents had spoilt him rotten. Not to mention his own mother. Henry sometimes feels like the only one not under the kid's magic spell.

"Personally, yes. I don't see any reason to leave when my family is in town. But it is possible for others to leave so there are descendants all over the east coast now. At least. I haven't really been able to keep in touch with them all so who knows how far we've spread." He laughs and puts the photo back so it's safe.

It brings her a lot of happiness to hear that as she's sure she wouldn't exactly be having children of her own. After what happened to Neal she crossed that off her list of things to do in life. That had more to do with Rumpel suffering the loss of the child and her not wanting to bring that back up by trying to have one of their own. "I would think so." "Storybrooke is small. While I wouldn't want to leave I still want to see the rest of the world. I've become less and less of a fan of small spaces." From being confined to a castle (somewhat), then imprisoned, and then trapped again in town. She about had it with limitations.

[darkestbeliever]

"Oh no, that makes absolute sense. Very you." He didn't say whether she did that or not. Telling her everything would be boring. Nothing to experience. And it saved more questions.
