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!]

[and_she_waited]

Perhaps he'll hear the voice of the woman a few tables over, muttering to herself darkly:

"C'mon, Doctor. Where have you got off to?"

She knows it's only a matter of time before he comes for her, but it's the waiting she doesn't like. She's never liked it, in fact. And somehow, he always makes her wait.

She looks around the room, pausing to frown at the bloke in the dark glasses. Is he sleeping? Oi!

[blindneedles]

He heard the mutterings quite clearly and frowned slightly. Was she in need of a medic, or was there someone in particular the woman was looking for? His head lifted slightly as he concentrated his attention on the young woman several tables away with some concern. Jubei hadn't smelled any blood or felt the tension or lack of coordination that indicated an injury but he became far more alert anyways just in case. Perhaps like the alertness that came from a dog lifting its head to test the air.

And with a far smoother motion than his frame suggested he moved to his feet and moved towards the young woman with a slight frown. As soon as he managed a conversational distance he stopped. "Were you referring to a specific doctor, or were you in the middle of some medical assistance?"

[and_she_waited]

Ah-ha, he moves! Of course, now that means he's noticed her staring. She looks away, but it's no use. She's been caught, and Rory isn't here to apologize for her. Not that she ever approves of it when he does.

"A specific one," she says, looking back up. "And not a real doctor, either. The Doctor. He's an alien."

[blindneedles]

Perhaps it's ironic that he actually didn't catch her staring so much as concerned about her waiting for a medic. The idea that someone might just be named 'Doctor' hasn't occurred to him just yet. His face lowers a little and there's a few moments of glare before his full face is visible.

"He's not a doctor?" Jubei frowned a bit more as he tried to figure out why a doctor wouldn't be a doctor. "Is it some sort of pun? I've been trying to learn a few but so far I've failed."

ooc: Ack, I'm sorry I dropped this by mistake! :C

[and_she_waited]

She blinks at him, but her face quickly slips into a smile.

"Not quite. He isn't the sort of Doctor you'd find in hospital, but he does help people," she says. "He saves worlds, defending the kind of people who call on him to help."

She glances around the room, and shakes her head.

"I travel with him, but somehow I ended up here without him," she says.
