action/video; @b.crusher | ota!

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!

Hmm. It would be interesting to ask about, see how many versions of Earth we can come up with.

That's... pretty trippy to think about.

(Infinity is impossible to imagine, after all. She rubs her head.)

It would. Maybe we should make a network post some time. Do a survey.

Right?

(She seems quite thrilled by the idea.) Think of the data something like that could get.

(She turns to look at her, sheepish.)

Somebody has to, otherwise nobody would compile them.
scholiast: <user name=itsmyhugbear site=tumblr.com> (★ that's ridiculous)

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-02-08 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
(She comes back over, and leans in to give Beverly a light, chaste kiss.)

Not as much as she likes her captain.

(She grins, tickled by Beverly's laughter.)

You rank above quite a lot of things!

(Ah, called out. Lucretia hesitates for a moment.)

Like... researching new projects, and fresh cups of coffee, and staying up late at night with a new book, and exploring by the river, and writing poetry. I like you more than all of those things.

(And then she decides she has to balance what she said out with something less sincere; she adds:) And there's a whole lot of bad stuff you automatically rank over so... yep. You're uh, you're killing it.

(She's embarrassed, but very pleased when Beverly pulls her in close and kisses her.)

It's just the truth.
scholiast: (shh its actually from snotgirl) (☆ if you ask me...)

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-02-12 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
I think that you make me sweet, you know.

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-02-12 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm not a very sweet person.

(She shrugs.) But with you, I am. Ergo.

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-02-14 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

(She kisses Beverly's brow then takes a seat in her lap again, looping an arm around her shoulders.)

Where to next, Captain?
