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!]

Uncle Iroh | Avatar: The Last Airbender | Ten Forward

While he's not entirely sure how he got out of that strange room with the lines, Iroh is glad to be in a place with something he does understand - people. The deco is different, but he knows a bar when he sees one.

He mills about a bit, mostly engaging in people-watching. He spies an important-looking bald man tell an opening on the wall to dispense tea of a variety he hadn't heard of - and a cup materialized out of nowhere!

After a moment of fascination passed, Iroh approaches the peculiar opening, and examines it for a bit before he decides to test it, hesitantly addressing the device in the same manner as the previous man: "Jasmine tea, hot?" A cup appears after a moment, and Iroh takes it. There's a bit of curious admiration that's he's holding a cup of tea that appeared out of nowhere, but he heads back to milling about for a few minutes before he samples his tea.

And promptly sprays it out where he stands, then coughs. "What kind of excuse for tea is this?!"

Savil had been keeping an eye on most of the people milling around the lounge with bleached blue eyes under a fall of white hair hanging in a neat braid to her knees. It almost matched the almost uniform-like white of her tunic, breeches, and riding boots.

However, the Gifted man who'd been people watching had caught her attention rather quickly since he had a similar 'air' as herself. Cautious and curious, but not exactly afraid or alarmed. So Savil didn't really feel too bad bursting out into laughter when Iroh reacted to his tea.

"As far as I can figure, tea here never grew on a branch." Savil shifted herself to be facing towards the man with an amusement meant to be shared rather than to mock. "I tried asking for tea and ended up with a list of over two thousand varieties including hot, cold, and alcoholic."

[ingenuitea]

After reaching up to wipe his mouth, Iroh turns to the voice addressing him - and is quite thankful that he didn't spray her, or anyone else. That quickly fades into confusion as he gives her a puzzled look, then turns that same expression to the mug he was holding.

"Well, not having any soul put into it was bad enough, but how does one even make tea without growing it?" Iroh frowns, idly tasting his mouth again - his face scrunches into a scowl. "And I thought the tea in Ba Sing Se was terrible..."

Well, that was as entertaining a reaction as she'd seen to the replicator. She couldn't help a light chuckle. But when she speaks to him she's rather warm and patient. "Sometimes what the replicator chooses as a standard blend is different than what we're used to."

But she gestured to the chair near her. "Come, sit, maybe I can help you choose something a bit more to your taste."

[ingenuitea]

The woman addressing Iroh gets a curious glance - mostly directed at that forehead ridge - before he takes the offered seat, then sets his mug down on the table. "I would prefer one made by a person. Even the most amateur tea brewer couldn't do it that badly," he answers.

[am_sass_ador]

Oh, she's certainly used to that look. Among her own people as well. She doesn't seem at all bothered by it. "I see. Well, perhaps Guinan has something stored away for a special occasion. She's quite reliable that way."

Now that he's come closer he'd be able to pick out her somewhat visible pregnant belly. "My name is K'ehleyr. It's a pleasure."

omg Iroh

Henry had been looking out of the window at the stars when he heard the man wonder about the tea. It amused him a little and he decided to answer the question since he wasn't too far away.

"Everything's a bit different here unfortunately. Cocoa was off too."
