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!]

"There isn't any war on Earth in this timeframe--all the nations are united under a single planet-wide government. Starfleet is a diplomatic, exploratory, and defense force, so I suppose we're the closest it comes--but we're not strictly Earth-based. Though there are a rather large number of Humans in Starfleet."

Julian shrugs.

I am *so sorry* for not noticing that misfire earlier, omg. D:

"I'm suddenly really glad I probably won't live to see that," Noriko says, brows drawn together. "Because if this planet-wide government works the way it's been talked about in my time it's awful and despotic. Putting it lightly," she murmurs.

rofl it's okay

"...I don't know what it's like in your time, but the Federation, and United Earth, are nothing like that."

Julian looks pensive and slightly concerned--just how many differences were in play here?

I'm such a derp sometimes.

"In my time there are a lot of people who want everyone like me dead," she says bluntly.

She doesn't mean women, or even Japanese. She means mutants. "And the only player who might realistically succeed in a bid for global power has done exactly nothing to stop that happening."
