[ Just come with us to the holosuite to play a little Bashir 62, they said. We can dress up, relax, have dinner, and listen to Vic Fontaine's voice butter us into a better tomorrow, they said. It'll be fun, they said! ]

[ No one mentioned to Ezri that walking through the holosuite door while the wormhole was opening outside the station would trigger a neutrino surge from the Deatth Chat program on her PADD so powerful that she and the contents of her game would be forcibly sucked into the bubble. ]

[ Empty tables and chairs are set nicely around the room, and the piano on the stage plays energizing music despite the lack of a musician warming its bench. There are no windows in this empty 1962 Earth Jazz diner lounge, but curtained doors line the walls ... maybe they open to a different sort of setting or game formed by your own cognition? ]

[ When Ezri woke up here, maybe the surge from her copy of the app caused yours to surge and forcibly insert you into the bubble as well. Maybe it made the entry button flash and buzz to notify you something was going on in here. Maybe it had no effect at all, and you carried about your day in peace. ]

[ Bubble guide for reference. ]

[ This is, overall, absolutely horrifying. When Ezri wakes up on the floor of the club lounge, she'd taken a moment to look around in disbelief at the uncharacteristically empty-of-holograms lounge — ]

Vic? Hey, Vic, where is everyone?

[ If you want a confused and still-processing Ezri laying on the carpet, here's your chance. ]

[ Ezri's confusion spikes when Vic Fontaine's AI hologram doesn't show up to greet her and explain, and that's just very unlike him. She brushes her period-appropriate dress off and stands as she searches at her hip and realizes she doesn't have her PADD, this had been a leisure trip, and soaks in that... ah. The app again.]

Now, how in the world did I end up here?

[ Now collected and having at least a minimal idea of what's going on, Ezri gets up to explore. Which of these doors is the exit, and where do they all lead to...? ]
