a. action
[Beverly walks down this same street almost every day, on her way to and from work. From that coffeeshop on the corner to the weird little knick knack shop full of bits and bobs from across the multiverse, the sights have become very familiar to her. Which is maybe why this particular door showed up on this particular street. Or maybe it's all a coincidence. It's hard to say sometimes, in the Quarantine.

The door in question would not be a particularly remarkable one save for a unique symbol etched in the center of it. Even so, she easily might have missed it - hell, maybe she already has before today. But now that she's seen it, there's absolutely no chance she won't be investigating. The door opens easily and she lets out a surprised gasp when she sees what's inside.]


Oh!

b. network; video
Good evening everyone! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Beverly Crusher - and I found something a bit... unexpected today. [She grins.] A good sort of unexpected, though. Something from my home world that I'd like to share with you all.

[Here she carefully balances her phone against the wall so that it more or less shows both her and the room she's in. It's not readily apparent what sort of room it is as there is nothing in it and no windows or doors, only black walls, floors, and ceiling criss-crossed with glowing yellow grid-lines.]

Now, I know it doesn't look like much but! [She dances over to the middle of the room. She's really excited you guys!!!] Computer! Play File Dixon Hill, The Big Goodbye.

[Immediately, the room around her changes into a street scene from 1930s San Francisco. A figure wearing a fedora bumps into her. "Sorry, ma'am!" he says as he tips her hat and continues on his way, though not without first giving her an odd look - she is after all dressed in odd clothing for the era.]

It's a holodeck! Or well... I suppose since we're not on a ship it ought to be called a holosuite instead, but in any case, it's a holographic projection system that creates a virtual reality. There are only a few scenarios loaded onto the computer right now, but I plan on making more - with ideas and suggestions from you! I want this to be a collaborative creative project that we can all have fun with! There'll be a link below the video for more information and feel free to contact me with any questions you have!

[She gives a little cheerful wave goodbye before reaching down to turn off the video stream.]

ooc: And here is the info page for all holodeck related activities!

Okay, that is really impressive. I'd ask how it worked, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't understand it if you told me!
11calls: yeah I totally am reading (I'm not reading from this book.)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-07 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing you're from my future. My far future, maybe. I'm from 2017.
11calls: yeah this won't come back to bite us in our ass (Wait play that again)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-13 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. And that is a little disappointing. Things are kind of... crazy back home, so it would be good to know that we have an awesome future like that as a species, I mean.

I'm trying hard not too. But...

[Demons and Trump is President and the world may be ending and her it's complicated may bring about the actual end of the world and he doesn't believe in it at all.

Still, she puts a quick smile on it.

Hey, we've definitely gotten through worse as a planet, right?
11calls: why is it always fucking demons?! (demons)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-16 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Here's hoping.

[Alex is trying to be hopeful. But Trump and demons is a lot of things all at once.]
11calls: yeah I totally am reading (I'm not reading from this book.)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-19 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, unfortunately our problem now is a response to idiots being angry about change.

[Which frustrates her to no end. But her job is a better, less serious subject, and some of the anger slides from her tone.]

I'm a journalist for a podcast. It's like a radio program on demand if you guys have radio in your universe.
11calls: Why are they shipping me and Strand?! Lol. JK. (The interns said what)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-21 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
At the moment, it sounds kind of silly but my show was about the paranormal and the nature of belief. It got a bit twisted up at the end though.
11calls: but i can't decide if it's good or a shitty one. (empathy is my superpower)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-24 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Things that weren't supposed to be connected were, and my friend was sort of at the center of it.

[With her. But that's his point not hers.]
11calls: (little smile)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-27 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[Alex just smiles at the woman, grateful for her not pushing too much yet.]

Sorry, things are just still a little weird, you know?

But can you make that place look like anywhere?
11calls: better than 10 ft of snow (The weather in seattle)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-30 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd just love to see Seattle again. Visit a coffee shop, listen to some music. It's the little things you miss, ya know?
11calls: yeah this won't come back to bite us in our ass (Wait play that again)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-02-03 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Probably considering how much Seattle can change in a month! But I'd love to get together with you soon to discuss it!
