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!]

Dead or not, he'd thought he would never see her again. He'd thought he'd lost her forever, this wonderful girl who helped to save him from himself and show him how much more there was to his life than just trying to score points against the Time Agency.

She'd been one of his dearest friends, and he's grieved not only for thinking she was dead, but for over a century before that for the loss of her and the Doctor and the times they'd had travelling together.

When Rose pulls away, she's still grinning, and so's he.

He laughs.

"I don't know, a couple of lines around the eyes, maybe," he says. She doesn't know what she did to him, doesn't know what he is, or what she condemned him to when she brought him back from the dead. "But just as handsome as I ever was."

It's so good to see her, he hardly knows what to say.

And he'd never hold it against her, even if she did.

"Yeah? And just as confident," Rose teases, reaching up to touch his cheek.

Still, he's right. He's still as handsome as the day she first met him back in London, 1941, right in the midst of the London Blitz.

If there are any lines of any sort, they seem only to add to his sense of being, like he's lived a number of lives and seen a number of things. The Doctor's got that too, only it's clearest in his eyes.

"It's good to see you, you know."

"And here I thought you were just hugging me because of my incredible magnetism."

He's laughing, and he's staring at her, because he can't help it. He owes so much to her, and she'd been one of two people who'd been everything to him before everything had turned so suddenly to the worse on the Game Station. And now, he's missed her for so long, thought that he'd never see her again, that he just can't stop looking at her.

"How have you been, Rose?"

The Doctor had said this wasn't possible. Unless this is Rose from a point in her timeline before that happened. And maybe it is, because she doesn't seem as shocked to see him as he is to see her.

She'd better be from before she got stranded, because if she isn't, that's really bad news.

(But if it's really bad news, at least it's bad news with Rose here.)
