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!]

"Well. I can't say many people serve themselves here, but it does make my job easier."

Guinan arches an eyebrow, looking unimpressed if not completely unamused. She searches out someone newly rendered drinkless, and nods to one of the waitstaff to go see about it.

"You must be new."

Now she smiles, which lights her deep, dark eyes.

"My pardon, Lady Keeper. I do definitely not seek to make thy life any harder." Merlin bowed to her in full court style, eyes alight, without spilling his drink. And then he grinned in return.

"Aye, milady. New to thy place, and yet oh so old, in too many ways." His eyes danced, amused, curious, and glad to see her. "Prithee, milady, may I know thy name, and the name of thus is place?"

New and yet oh so old, yeah, Guinan knows the feeling. Her smile grows just a little as she catches the light in his eyes, amused by his old-fashioned manners.

She isn't sure whether it would be more impolite to laugh or to give him a look like he's crazy, so she sticks with smiling, dropping her head for a moment to gather her response.

"Apology accepted. My name is Guinan, and I work here aboard the starship Enterprise."

She motions to an empty seat, inviting him to relax.

"You're from Earth, aren't you? Can I have your name in return?"

[themerlin]

"I am called Merlin, milady, and aye, I am. Earth was ever my home, and my place of defense. Its people were the ones I guarded all my long years. But now my watch is ended, it appears." Merlin sighed, his eyes feeling tired, all of him feeling tired.

"In this universe, I am merely a wizard without my way."
