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!]

"Wingsibs?"

Strange, that's a name Guinan doesn't recognize. Not that it never happens, but she's accustomed to knowing most species and planets common to this part of the universe.

Peligirs isn't familiar to her either.

"Have you ever eaten a plum? They're a drupe fruit, and when dried properly they make prunes. They have a rich, sweet flavor."

Savil blinked and then broke into a slightly guilty smile. "I really need to remember that nobody here is from Velgarth. The Peligirs is a long strip of forest and hills. A long time ago there was a mage war and that area was left tainted and damaged enough to spill over to the natural world. Strange creatures, moving trees, phantom armies... There are small clans called the Tale'sedrin living there draining off the excess energies and healing the forest so it can be habitable again. They bond mentally to various birds so 'wingsibling' is a bit of an endearment."

She paused and then laughed with a glance over her shoulder at a glowing blue sphere that was hovering over a 3D chess set a little ways away. "Yes, I'm sure they would." Savil turned back with a much more open smile. "That's my partner, Kellan. She's lost a bit of weight..." After a slight pause it seems that Savil finally remembers about the whole question of drinks and shakes herself. "Plums I know, though they're a bit on the sweet side for me. Unless you know of a way to spice them up a bit?" Bartenders knew far more than she did on such matters.

"Really?"

Her eyes widen.

"That sounds like an interesting place. Mage wars?"

It's not the kind of thing you hear talk of every day, but neither are moving trees or phantom armies. Guinan, generally speaking, lets the other person direct the conversation, but she just might have to question her further on Velgarth and the Peligirs when an opportunity presents itself.

She nods a greeting to Kellan, unbothered by the interruption, and passes a smile between both.

"I think I can manage that. Can your friend take any refreshments?"
