TEST DRIVE #10 - Cetacean Pool and Ten Forward

[tenforward_m]

#1

Option 001. Cetacean Pool/Aquatics Lab: Of all the places in the world, you open your eyes and you find yourself in a medium-sized aquatics laboratory, filled with various living specimens along with various science officers bustling about trying to maintain order. There's much to explore here (and hopefully, in the crew's opinion, not break), but the main attraction is the large pool at the far end of the lab; enormous but tanklike in appearance, it contains several dolphins happily swimming about, seemingly without a care in the world.

Option 002. Aboard the Enterprise, Ten Forward: You have no idea what just happened. One minute you were home, and now you're on a spaceship, in the middle of a crowded room. It looks like a bar. There are people eating and drinking, some in uniform, others not. Some are clearly aliens.

You've managed to land in Ten Forward a long bar with barstools and a bartender, tables sprinkled throughout, and the far wall is nothing but windows out to space. It looks like a nice lounge, low conversation making the room hum.

Better ask some questions and find out where you are, or just tap the closest person on the shoulder and try to make friends. The bar is open.

"Or maybe I didn't come here the same way you did," she said a bit smugly. Yes, Kaylin could be childish at times. And yes, she was not above being so now.

[eternallyhazel]

"Oh? How did you arrive then?" He asked, almost innocently. If she was going to raise the stakes then he would most certainly call her bluff.

[kaylinneya]

"I fell off the world," she said, and she almost seemed proud of it. "That happens to me." She smirked.

[eternallyhazel]

Artemis seemed to ponder that statement for a while before answering, though his answer had instantly popped into his head.

"Well, it seems we may have something in common after all."

He seemed almost impressed and yet still spiteful and smirking at the same time.

[kaylinneya]

"Am supposed to be overjoyed?" she asked dryly. "Impressed? Pleased? Honored?"

There was a reason she was not allowed near the moneyed people of her city.

[eternallyhazel]

"Whichever one suits you best." Which was an answer without it actually be an answer.

[kaylinneya]

"None of those, then," she said with a smirk. She crossed her arms. She didn't say the words but her posture all but screamed "are we done here?"

[eternallyhazel]

Artemis held his own posture, replying without words in a "well you approached me" fashion.

[kaylinneya]

Kaylin could be blunt, if she had to. "Is that all you need? Are we done here?"

He officially, in her mind, was not a kid.
