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!]

"Oh, thank you," Belle said with a smile. "I'm from New Orleans, in America." He sounded American, but she wanted to be clear because this was the future and God only knew how accents had evolved over time.

His comment about being small made her laugh a little. She was tall for a woman and proportional. Still, her physical size didn't make her dangerous. "It's the little ones you gotta look out for, little one. Harder to protect your belly than your chest."

"Oh cool! I always wanted to go there, but didn't get a chance before I went to Hell." Matt nodded and grinned. "Yeah, especially if you can do this." and the fabric of his backpack wiggled stretched and did a backflip, all on its own.

[poisonwine]

Belle's eyebrow raised when he mentioned going to Hell. She assumed it was a metaphor, though it was hard to say with all the nonsense she'd seen at this point in her life. Either way it didn't sound like good conversation for a first meeting.

The backpack's acrobatic trick made her chuckle. "Quite a feat. Must be real distractin' sometimes."

Matt grinned at her, rubbing his face and nodding. "It helps a little. Someday, I'll know enough to make it do more than that, and really help people out!" He didn't want to be a hero, he wanted to do important things!

"I'm sure you will," Belle said with a smile. "Clever young man like y'self can do anything you want." It was second nature to encourage kids after her years as guild leader. Loyal munchkins made great spies and todya's kids were tomorrow's competition.

"Maybe. I'll figure something out, anyway. Not that I want to get stuck here, but if I do? Someday, I'm going to be a starship captain." Matt nodded. "Or a starship king. One of those." He had plans, okay?
