Ten Forward Social Lounge

Ten Forward

The lights in the lounge just flickered pretty spectacularly and went out for several long seconds. The silhouette of Pete stays very still, until a strange blue glow lights his face. It's his cell phone. "Uh. Ground Control to Major Tom? I have lost visual on my coco puffs. I repeat, coco puffs are AWOL."

He scoots his chair out and starts feeling his way around the room, trying to help. This ends the way you'd probably expect: with a loud crash and a Pete-shaped lump on the floor. "I'm okay!"



Turbolifts

Once the power is back on he hurries into the first available turbolift to make sure everyone he knows is okay and accounted for. He'll start at Myka's room and work his way from there. Uh, except common sense probably should have told Pete that if there were power issues he probably should have taken the stairs.

"Zoinks!" he shouts, gripping the back wall of the lift as it grinds to a stop. Right, so this whole starship Enterprise thing is uh-mazing so far -- he's already made mortal enemies with a Klingon and asked Captain Picard if he could rub his head for luck, so that's pretty much his bucket list taken care of. But is he really trapped in a turbolift on the Enterprise? Is this for real happening? "Ruh-roh."

Don't mind the guy in the corner who is not panicking, because he's too busy giggling with glee. The narration promises he isn't dangerous.

( Previously, on Warehouse 13... )

Ping!

Ten Forward has a new guest: a brunette approaching middle-aged, hair shaggy, wearing an AC/DC t-shirt and a pair of distressed jeans. And purple latex gloves. Come on, we know it's not the weirdest thing you've seen all day.

He blinks at the room, back straightening, and then turns left and right. "Say whaaaaaaaaaa...?"

Okay, that's a lot of space outside those windows. He's been abducted by aliens! Cool. No, wait, not cool. This is not cool, Pete. Except for the fact that it totally is. It's lucky for the ship that what he had been holding before he was jumped here did not make the trip with him, or else there would be a whole lot more excitement to go along with his arrival. And okay, so maybe he blew it as far as great first words when making first contact goes (he could have said, "One small step," or, "We come in peace," or even better, "Take me to your leader"), but for all the weird voodoo someone starts to expect when they've been working for the Warehouse, getting zapped into another dimension still isn't something the manual trains you for. Or maybe it is. He doesn't know, he hasn't read all of it yet. But he has read it, so ha! Take that, Mrs. F.

Wait, where was he? Oh yeah! "...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" He looks to the left. He looks to the right. He looks to the left again NO, FAKE-OUT! Back to the right. Pete is turning in circles like a dog that's just lost his favorite tennis ball. "Uh. Guys?"

They were just here a minute ago. "... Are we on the Enterprise? Guys?"

Ooh, cookies! Pete snaps one up from a plate on a nearby table, and takes a bite. What? They were just sitting there. A lonely cookie has to be eaten.


[ooc: please come mess with Agent Lattimer, but as a quick heads-up: Pete is an overgrown kid and a giant pop culture and comics nut, so if you play a Marvel or DC character or someone from popular media, chances are very good he'll recognize you. There will be no fourth walling or canon puncturing, but if you have concerns PLEASE feel free to send me a message here or on plurk: gabbynormal, and if I'm worried I may poke you before tagging back! Thanks, everyone!]
