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!]

"You are one of the less distasteful males," she said primly, with a sniff.

[deadmanbusiness]

Theo laughs. It's not a mocking laugh, it's a genuinely amused laugh.

"Oh, I wish Adrienne were here. I'd love to introduce the two of you." Adrienne would probably find Aiylisha quite adorable and take her under her wing.

Posting from ipad, please excuse typos and spelling errors

[the_blood]

"I wish she were too, I'd like to meet the witch sensiable enough to have a halfway decent mate."

"Form her, that's high praise indeed," Theiorn said dryly.

No worries.

[deadmanbusiness]

"Only halfway?" Theo's grinning still, very amused. To Theiorn he adds, "I figured."

Home again, home again, jiggity jig

[the_blood]

She gave a small sniff of indignation and did not dignify the exchange with a reply.

Theiorn nodded. If it weren't for his duties to the Queen, he would feel free to befriend this male, and drop into a seat beside him to share a pitcher of ale. But a Queen came first. But if she ever did form a court and he had some time to himself... "If you think you can refrain from screaming, I could fetch us some food," he said dryly.

Oh the glare she gave him...

\o/

[deadmanbusiness]

He'd more than happily make friends with Theiron and his lady, but he's equal opportunity. (Also he'd like to know what makes Theiron tick. It's the necromancer in him.)

"Well, unless she finds my company completely abhorrent, I don't think she would scream," Theo says.

:D

[the_blood]

"So long as you can refrain from being too terribly...male... I think it could be acceptable," she said, sounding amused.

[deadmanbusiness]

"I'm quite conversant in all the latest fashion from Paris," Theo offers. "I can also discuss the merits of different kinds of shoes and jewelry. Though I'm told I'm a bit colorblind when it comes to make up."

He's a married man. He picks these things up.

[the_blood]

"I have no clue where Paris is, but...why would I care about clothing or shoes?" she asked, so confused.

Yeah... Theiorn was no coward, generally, but all the same he was glad to have a valid reason to leave. His speed as he did so could not...quite... be called fleeing.

[deadmanbusiness]

"Paris is the fashion center in my world. And from what Adrienne tells me, good clothes is what makes a woman a proper woman. Though, I think she says that so that I'll buy her all the shiny things she wants."

He's long since resigned himself to using his unlimited credit card on his wife. He also manages to intentionally not notice Theiorn's hasty exit. Sometimes a guy just needs to take an excuse to leave a lady.

[the_blood]

She makes a noise that is a whole lot like HARRUMPH. "Whatever a lady chooses to wear is feminine, and whatever she does not choose to wear is not necessarily so. Why are men so obsessed with the wardrobes of women?" she asked, and it was clearly an old complaint from her, one she could be pleasantly grumpy in, though the first bit sounded more like she was repeating something she heard time and time again. Came from serving in Lady Sylvia's court.

[deadmanbusiness]

Theo holds up his hands. "Adrienne is the one who takes me shopping. I could care less what she wears as long as it makes her happy. She just likes fancy clothing."

He does notice the parroted bit, but still says nothing.

[the_blood]

"So long as I am dressed, I have little care what in," she said primly. "It needs to be comfortable and suit the situation," she said. "Nothing more, nothing less," she said primly.

[deadmanbusiness]

"That sounds like Grace. She is very practical when it comes to clothing," Theo says. Though he also has a feeling that she wouldn't be too happy to be dressed in rags or jeans and a tee-shirt. He could be wrong, but that's the feeling he's getting.

[the_blood]

"A sensible witch," she said, nodding.

[deadmanbusiness]

"Yes. That is quite true about her. She is quite sensible. I don't think your friend would like her very much though. Beyond the fact that she'd break him in half."

[the_blood]

"now I really want to meet her," she said, amused.

[deadmanbusiness]

"I'm sure she'd love to meet you," Theo says. Leaning forward, he then asks, "Might I ask a question of you?"

[the_blood]

She leaned back a bit, and looked at her ring finger, idly. "Ask, Prince, though I may not answer."

[deadmanbusiness]

Such the princess.

"Your friend. What is he? He's not alive and he's not unlike any undead I've ever met before."

[the_blood]

She was startled. Not what she was expecting. "He is demon dead, Prince. You do not know from the demon dead?"

[deadmanbusiness]

"Demon dead. No, I can't say I've ever heard of that before." Theo manages not to smirk at her surprise. "We don't have demons on my world."

[the_blood]

"Then... what happens when someone dies too strong to rest?" she asked, confused.

[deadmanbusiness]

"They become ghosts," Theo says. Which are quite different than the demon dead, apparently.

[the_blood]

"And those too strong to be ghosts?"
