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!]

Doctor Rudy Lom | Almost Human | Option 1

Rudy didn't have a clue of how he got here or why. But he scanned the lounge trying make sense of this situation. Was this perhaps a strange dream? Or was he suffering some kind of strange hallucination? Warily, Rudy approached the bar and sat down.

He took his hat off and picked at it with his fingers as he tried to decide what to do. He debated on approaching someone and asking questions, but at the same time he was rather frightened by the idea. Everyone else around here appeared at ease though, so there didn't seem to be a need to be alarmed...

Yet, this was not his world. That much he knew. Rudy didn't like not having Kennex or Dorian by his side while he was in a strange place. Normally he would have been content on ordering a martini...but not now. He continued to fidget with his hat until he was able to work up the nerve to approach someone.

It'll be between his fidgeting and his being distracted that Kennex claps a hand on Rudy's shoulder from behind, grips him for a second, then moves to grab the empty seat to his right.

"Y'know, that hat is never going to work no matter what you do," he says, chin jutting towards the object in question, still between Rudy's fidgeting fingers.

"What the hell are you doing here, Rudy? The City not good enough you've gotta travel all the way here into space?"

It's a joke, of course, and one of the first real ones he's cracked since he got to this goddamned ship. But he can't help but feel relief, seeing someone familiar, someone from home.

"I don't know what is about you and hats...this hat is perfectly fine!" Rudy automatically replied. He hated it when people insulted his fashion sense. Especially Kennex. That was Kennex he just heard, right??

He turned in Kennex's direction after the first statement. "You're really here?! I can't believe that... Um...How long have you been here?"

He totally ignored the other statements, he realized that the detective was joking. He was too excited to learn that Kennex was here and he could possibly explain what happened. Judging by the way he was behaving it looked as if Kennex didn't just arrive.

[and_she_waited]

All right, maybe that someone he meant to approach wasn't the redhead that swoops into his line of fire, but that's who he gets. Sorry lad, she's a curious sort.

"You're new, aren't you?" she asks, dispensing with the niceties. "I can tell by the way you're lookin' about. Don't worry, I don't bite."

Much.
