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!]

Emma Swan|Once Upon a Time|Option 1

[savedbylove]

When Emma opened her eyes, she fully expected to be on the edge of the forest, home around her, but instead she was somewhere strange. Very strange indeed. Her hand went to her belt, but her gun was missing, which wouldn't have bothered her, since she didn't have it in the enchanted forest either, but she suddenly thought that she might need it.

"Where the hell am I now?"

[chippedvaliance]

"Emma?" She was just on her way out of the lounge, actually when she caught sight of familiar golden hair out of the corner of her eye. That tone of voice sealed the deal in making her stop instead of dismissing it as possibly another passenger she had mistaken as someone from Storybrooke. "You're--well--" Belle bites at her bottom lip. "Maybe I should just show you." Luckily Belle has acquired a PADD, and if Emma ever paid attention to the comics Henry read she'll catch on quick. "Are you alright, though?"

[savedbylove]

Emma turns around quickly, not expecting to hear that voice. Last time she saw her she almost blew their cover. "Belle?" She asked hesitantly. "Yeah, it's me, but this is not where I thought I would end up."

Emma looked at the other woman, with suspicious eyes., given where she came from. "I'm fine, mostly, but I thought portals worked differently. "Lead the way. It's safe right?"

[chippedvaliance]

She doesn't know if she should be hurt by that distrustful look or not, but Belle has rather come to terms with her mistakes. Well, she hasn't completely come to terms with them but she can understand that everyone might be a little more than pissed off at her for various reasons. Regardless she puts on a smile, and tries to act friendly. "Here follow me." She leads Emma over to a table where they can sit. "This isn't going to make a lot of sense but you're in another world--one that none of us have been to. We're on a starship called the Enterprise." She isn't even joking. "So basically we're in space and you just appeared here like I did."

[savedbylove]

"Sorry," She muttered, and gave her an apologetic smile. "It's just that this isn't the first place I've landed in, when I didn't mean to."

She follows Belle to the table, and slowly sits down, looking around her, taking in all the details. "Like Star Trek Enterprise?" She had been paying attention when Henry was talking.

[chippedvaliance]

"It's fine. I understand." She murmurs. Emma has had to deal with that more often than Belle has. "Um, I think so? If that has Starfleet in it." She isn't up to date with pop culture. Storybrooke is pretty secluded from the rest of the world and she doesn't read many comics herself. Not that she had the chance to. She spent the better part of twenty eight years in captivity. "Have you heard of it before?"

[magicsprice]

"The Enterprise. It's a long way from home I know." The familiar voice came from off to the side and if she turned to look she'd find a rather familiar face seated at a table next to her. He turns his attention away from the weird triple boarded chess game to the woman beside his table.

[savedbylove]

Emma looked over at the new voice, realization, and partial relief coloring her town. She would have started laughing, thinking that seeing Rumplestilskin would be a relief, but it was twice now that he had come to her aid in a short period of time.

"And the Enterprise is what? Another curse?"

[magicsprice]

"Not quite. It's a ship, the people here call it a starship. We're in space." There's a bit of good humor to his words. Though he has to wonder, given Q's penchant for playing with timelines, just where in the the timelines Emma is from...and given Henry's case. Which one.

[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."

[goldencobra]

Henry had calmed a little from his return to the spaceship but had immediately missed his family. Seeing Emma, he doubted she would be the one he'd left behind but he needed a little hope so he crossed his fingers and walked up to her.

"Mom?"

[savedbylove]

"Henry?" She exclaimed, immediately pulling him to her and holding on tight. She thought that she would never see him again.

"How long have you been here?"

[goldencobra]

"A few months or a few minutes, depends on your perception." He hugged back but he had to know which timeline she came from so he pulled back.

"This might sound like a strange question but I need the honest answer. What's my full name?"

[savedbylove]

Emma did look both concerned and confused for a long moment. "What? Henry Mills. Did you hit your head and get hurt?"

[goldencobra]

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.

[agathaheterodyne]

Aggie looked up, seeing the new person appear. She popped out of her seat and stretched as she walked over. She wasn't sure why she was approaching this person, only that for some reason she reminded her of Zeetha. Reminded her a LOT of Zeetha.

Agatha froze just before she was close enough to address Emma, but close enough to be seen, staring at her for a moment, paling a bit. Zeetha. Zeetha was one of Agatha's best friend, but a life could only have one Zeetha safely. She actually whimpered, looking at Emma as though Emma terrified her. She swallowed hard, lifted her chin, and turned to walk off, hoping that the other woman wouldn't realize she was fleeing. Which of course she was.

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

[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.

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

[savedbylove]

"Do I scare you?" She asked quietly, once the girl came closer. "I'm Emma, and I am from Storybrooke," She still can't believe that is where she calls home.

"What's your name?"

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

[agathaheterodyne]

The slightest of Hesitation, then she thrust her chin out proudly. She was not going to be used as ANYONE'S political pawn, but neither was she going to hide, not any longer. "I am Agatha Clay Heterodyne," she said, sounding almost defiant, as though she expected to be challenged or attacked for her name. Of course, there was always the chance that hearing her name a person might just turn and run.

[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]

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?"

[kepthimhuman]

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

[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?"
