TEST DRIVE #2 - The Holodeck/Ten Forward

[tenforward_m]

Where were you a minute ago? Well, you aren't there anymore. Instead, you're standing in a very large, dark room lined with yellow. There are doors at either end of it.

Here's where things get a little choose your own adventure-y. You could:



1: Approach a console filled with buttons, located a few feet away. Press one, and it'll let you out of the room. Travel down a long hallway and you'll be in Ten Forward, the Enterprises' entertainment lounge. Have a drink, mingle and try to figure out why you're here.

OR

2: Maybe you just muttered some vague request under your breath. Maybe you wished aloud you were somewhere else. Or for help? If you did, might be in a fire station. Muttered something about killing whoever dumped you here? Surprise - you're in a slasher movie!

Though they're confusing, these visions feel about as real as they can be. And guess what - other people can experience those fantasies with you, as if they too were really there. How ever will you escape? Or do you want to?

[OOC: Welcome to the Holodeck! If you choose this option, whatever your character chooses to say out loud will cause a virtual reality program to load and play. While your character feels as if what they're experiencing and seeing is quite real, they're purely living through the latest and best in what he Enterprise has to offer in entertainment. Make sure to detail what your character's fantasy is, so that those threading with them will know how to react.

Open til next month's test drive!]

"Fermented...shark," says she, eyebrows quirked. "That sounds like one of those things you feed people just to see the disgusted look on their face," Noriko mutters.

As to the cooking, she shrugs. "If I knew you from Adam, I might consider that, but...I don't."

"It's a way for men to prove their masculinity, as stupid as any other thing is," he says. "You have to ferment it, or it'll kill you. And when it's fermented, you just think it'll kill you."

Scandinavians.

"Adam was a patsy. He never appreciated what he had with his first wife. That's just one of many differences between us."

"Sounds....like something my friends would do," she says. Or possibly something her roommate thinks Nori herself would do.

Nori herself who is proceeding to stare at Loki in confusion.

"...Okay, clearly that was a bad metaphor."

[scarred_grin]

"Bad metaphors are more fun than good ones," he says. "I'm just saying, I'm Team Lilith all the way back. Why should she be subordinate to some lump of clay? What would make him think he had a right to expect that? I'd have dumped his ass too."

[electro_kinetic]

"I can't say I know enough about what you're talking about to make a decision either way."

[scarred_grin]

"They say," he says. "Adam wasn't created by himself, and Eve didn't get taken from his rib straight away either--there was a woman made at the same time as he was, from the same materials as he was, and that was Lilith. But he wanted her to be subordinate to him, and she said fuck that and left him. And may or may not have gotten it on with demons and become a succubus, but the point is, she knew her own worth."

Nori blinks.

"Oh right yeah, the Christian mythology thing. Sorry. I'm not one so I never really bothered to look into it? I mean, the whole premise seems confusing, but then so does praying to your dead family for benevolent favors."
