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!]

He squeezed her hand in turn. Alex smiled. "I'll gladly be your friendly face, if you want."

He nodded as he led the way to sickbay. Soon a medic came forward, and there was poking and prodding, and though Alex had to stay outside the exam room, he was there to wave and smile when she looked out. And when the exam was done, he was there to greet her again.

Mavis smiled when she saw Alex still waiting, and bounced happily back to his side. It was tempting to use magic to do so, but she didn't want to freak him out. "So, what is there to do around here? What do you do when you're not building starfighters?"

[1st_starfighter]

"Here? Study, dance, use the holodeck, and occasionally visit planets the ship comes into orbit of." He led the way out, one hand reclaiming her hand.

"Once I've shown you the temporary quarters, I can show you the holodeck, too, if you like?"

[mavy_wavy]

"Yes!" she said. She didn't know what a holodeck was, but she was eager to find out. "Have you visited a lot of other planets already? What's it like--what were they like?" She'd been in a starfighter once, but just long enough to help save Earth--or at least California--from being blown up. The closest she'd been to visiting other worlds was the castle in her Dreams.

[1st_starfighter]

"Just one, Risa. It' a resort planet. I'm not sure if we're still in orbit, but we can find out." he grinned at her. Alex thought her enthusiasm was cute, really.

Alex smiled at her, and nodded as he led the way out. "And we can go to the holodeck and see more planets. As if we were there."

[mavy_wavy]

"Really, the whole planet?" How did people decide which part of the planet to visit, if they only had a short time to stay? "Wow." She smiled, and shook her head. "This is going to be interesting."

[1st_starfighter]

"Really. The whole thing. they are, ah, very friendly." He flushed. He'd barely escaped without gaining way too much exposure to their friendliness for his liking.

"I bet it will be."

He led the way, and soon, they were at the guest quarters. "Here we go." He pointed out one room at the end. "That's where I'm staying, in one of the bedrooms in that one."

[mavy_wavy]

"Oh...that kind of resort," Mavis guessed, judging by the look on Alex' face. She smirked, thinking Lorna and the other, other Alex might have enjoyed a place like that. She wondered what Match would have thought of it, and decided that they probably would have spent the entire vacation holed up in their room, ignoring the rest of the planet.

She smiled, making a note of where this Alex' room was, so that she could find him again, once they parted ways. "And this is me, over here?"

[1st_starfighter]

Alex chuckled and blushed more, then poked her lightly. He quickly caught her words. "Well, you can take the one opposite me, or any of the other rooms not taken. It's up to you."

he nodded to her. "Doesn't look like too many are, yet."

[mavy_wavy]

"Well, in that case, I guess I'd better stake my claim," she said, popping into the room across the hall, and dropping off her jacket. The nice thing about a spaceship was, she didn't have to worry about UV rays, the windows were designed to protect against worse than that. "Now what?"

[1st_starfighter]

Alex grinned at her and nodded. "Well, we wan wander back to ten forward, if you like? Check out a book or learn more about this time from the computer, or, well, whatever, as long as we stay within the temporary quarantine area." He nodded to her.
