Test Drive #7 - Ten Forward and Captain's Yacht

[ten_fwd_mods]

Option 01. Ten Forward: The first thing you see is a bar. A large, lively bar filled with many different faces and many different smells, sights and sounds. This is Ten Forward, the Enterprise's off-duty lounge; feel free to get acquainted with your fellow travelers and try to find somebody who's in charge: this is your new home now, after all...





Option 02. The Captain's Yacht: Oooh, you sneaky stowaway! You've found yourself in a very exclusive part of the ship: Captain Picard's personal craft, used for short jaunts when a shuttle just won't do. (One must retain some decorum, after all.) It may not be as large as the Enterprise itself, but there are sure to be some surprises aboard once people start snooping.


[OOC: The Captain's Yacht is located at the very base of the Enterprise's saucer portion, so if you put someone in there you can also play them trying to get back to somewhere they know!]

Henry groaned, pulling back further. This wasn't his mother. "No. I'm fine." He wasn't but telling that to this woman just didn't feel right. "It doesn't matter. I should go."

Maybe Gold can explain to her about him. He wasn't ready to talk about alternates to a brand new Emma.

[ashenmuses]

"Thank you-"

Roshanak stops, then, and stares at him. Her ears flick forward as she looks around, finally spying the window.




"A starship?" she breathes out, fear and caution vanishing in a look of pure wonder.

[kepthimhuman]

He knows that voice. He's heard that voice in his head many times since he arrived here and found out about Henry.

He's sure she's not going to want to see him, not after they way they parted. But he can answer her question, so he will.

"You're on a ship called the Enterprise. This is the lounge called Ten Forward."

[savedbylove]

"No," She said hurriedly. "I just found you. Don't leave, please. I don't understand. Henry, of course it matters."

[goldencobra]

"I'm not your Henry. It's complicated and confusing and you ask Gold about it."

[savedbylove]

"Henry has, so I paid attention.... a little," She admitted softly, with a small smile. A smile that she got when thinking about Henry. She smiled at Belle. She had a bit more experience with pop culture than the other woman did, having moved around so much.

"How long have you been here?"

[savedbylove]

"Seriously?" She said, arching an eyebrow at him. "And I thought that things couldn't get any stranger than Storybrooke."

[magicsprice]

He had to give a soft brief chuckle at that. "Indeed."

He shifts in his seat to sit facing her now before continuing. "There's a creature in this world, called Q. He's why we're here. Believe it or not, he's far, far more powerful than I am. Time and space matter not to him, nor his magic. There are people from all sorts of different worlds and timelines on this ship with us."

[savedbylove]

"My.... my Henry?" She said softly. She took a deep breath in. "Gold... will he tell me?"

[savedbylove]

If Emma was the fainting type, she would faint dead away at the sound of his voice, but luckily she's not.

"Neal? Oh my God, where are you?"

[goldencobra]

Henry nodded. "He knows. He'll explain. I just...I can't right now." Why did everyone have to come from that timeline? Why couldn't he just have one person from his home?

He turned, not able to keep his own composure. "I gotta go." And he started off to the exits, wanting to punch something.

[savedbylove]

"Wait," Emma called out. "Are you from here?"

Re: Emma Swan|Once Upon a Time|Option 1

[agathaheterodyne]

Agatha stopped dead, swallowed hard, touched her necklace as if for courage, then turned and faced Emma, letting her hand fall. She walked back, trying to remind herself that as a fellow blond, this woman probably wasn't actually FROM Skiffander. Right? RIGHT?

She gave Emma a bright smile, that was actually genuine. "As of a few hours ago at most, but that seems to be almost par for the course," she said apologetically.

[chippedvaliance]

Belle finds it heartwarming that Emma remembers her son so fondly. Hopefully the Henry here will treat Emma better than he treated Belle. "Well his enthusiasm may have helped you." "Just a week or so. I found Rumple as well. I'm not sure if anyone else is here."

[savedbylove]

"Henry, please," She cried out, as she watched him go. She scrubbed her hands over her face, and rested her head on the table.

Her head now ached.

[savedbylove]

"Fantastic," She said in the driest voice humanly possible. "I don't suppose there is anyway to stop him?"

[1st_starfighter]

Alex grinned. That look? That look he knew well.He remembered that look from his own face and the faces of new recruits the first time they headed into space. "Yeah. Welcome to the U.S.S. Enterprise. She's a ship in the United Federation of Planets, a hundreds of planets strong alliance of people of all kinds."

He stepped near her and looked out also. "It's a beautiful place, and a beautiful ship. " He smiled, his voice gentle and light. "Not the worst place to be."

[kepthimhuman]

"I'm over here." 'Over here' is a couple of tables away, where he's sitting with something to drink.

[magicsprice]

"He doesn't seem to have an villainous motives in mind fortunately. He seems to be treating this as if he's doing us all a great favor, by giving us a vacation from our dull, boring lives." The last part of that statement is given with a deadpan mockery. Because since the curse broke, or rather perhaps since Emma has come into his life, their lives had ceased to be dull or boring.

"As for stopping him, I suspect there isn't unfortunately."

[savedbylove]

Emma turned, the look that she was seeing a ghost still on her face, but she quickly went over to his table, sitting down heavily. She stared at him for the longest time, before she tentatively reached over and grabbed his hand.

"Your here," She said softly. "I'm so happy to see you, but so confused at the same time. What is the last thing you remember?"

[kepthimhuman]

Be prepared for another shock then, Emma. "I'm assuming you mean before I came here. I had just gotten an unexpected visit at my door, and was trying to get away. Someone was chasing me. I found out after I got here that it was you."

This isn't quite the reaction he was expecting from her, given how they parted.

[ashenmuses]

Hundreds of planets?

Hundreds?

She can hardly think what to say, what to ask - how, how, how is this all possible - but he keeps on talking, and she's distracted enough to glance at him.

"I'd have preferred being asked, Commander."

(And yet, her eyes dart back to that window, filled with so, so many unknown stars.)

[savedbylove]

"I was so pissed at you," She said laughing softly. "That's not where I'm from though," She said, looking away from him.

[1st_starfighter]

"Me too." He smiled wryly, lopsidedly, and nodded. "There's a crew who were here before, but a lot of us on this ship, now, are people yanked from our own times and spaces." Alex sighed.

"We're all missing something, or someone, one way or another." He glanced at her.

"May I ask what you're called?"

[savedbylove]

Emma nodded, and she sighed. "I see that you're enthused to be here?" She stated. "I saw Henry... and Neal."
