(GUH. Sorry...)
"Do they have something like green tea? I always liked that back at home."

((Happens, don't worry))
"How long are you in term?" Samuel asked as gesturing her to follow him back to the cafe.
"Did you speak too much?" Maxwell asked? "About who you are?"

"About 6 monthes." Rose said as she followed him.

"Not really," answered Maya, shaking her front, "Although I kinda got the sense that Ebony wanted to ask me more questions. Some I didn't want to answer."

"Well then." Sam said. "Strange you are not showing more clearly." He came back to the cafe with Rose in tow. "Has everyone had their fill?" He asked smiling.
"Such as?" Maxwell asked. He also wanted to ask what kind of power Maya had, as knowing it would make his role as a leader easier. But he knew he couldn't just yet.

"She mentioned an urban legend she knew about creatures that looked like humans which climbed into unsuspecting victims and controlled their every movement and thoughts. She asked me if my kind was like the human creatures in the legend and I said no, but I was kinda lost on explaining to her about the cars we drive in our world because I don't think she'd understand and just be repulsed by our species because of that," said Maya.

With her suspension hurting from sitting still for so long, Ebony decided to go out and check out the local scene while she stayed in this town. She promised herself that she would be back to the clinic later to see how Maya was doing.
The Viper felt hungry and headed toward the diner to get something to eat, like she had been doing. She also wanted to check out the other patrons as her tuned, heightened senses were telling her that something weird was going on.
If there are more of these ex-humans beside Maya and Maxwell here, I'd better stick around and see what I can find out, she thought as she pulled into an empty stall and quietly ordered something from the waitress.

Once the can of green tea-tasting fuel was placed in front of her- and she was told where the straw was located- Destiny tentatively sipped the drink. She was surprised at how good it tasted. "Wow; this tastes just like it did at home," she commented.

"I thought that too, but an old friend of....Richard's....says that the baby is fine. JUst a little small." Rose was getting slightly uncomfortable with the subject so she said no more.

Maya paused for a moment. "So you say that you have supernatural powers too, did you? I guess I'm not alone in that department. I'm a telepath and a telekinetic, though not so good at either yet. I just discovered I had these powers a few weeks ago, so I don't know much about the proper use of them yet."
*****
Ebony sat in her stall and slowly sipped her fuel, keeping a discreet eye on the other cars in the diner. Her sharp hearing was able to clearly pick up a low conversation at one part of the establishment. She picked up words like "back home" and could sense some unguarded emotions coming from that particular cirle.
The Viper surveyed that group, her attention drawn to them for some reason. She noticed that there was weird cross between a BMW and a tow truck, a Geo who appeared to blind (she had never before seen a blind car before), there was a clumsy helicopter in the distance which she thought was strange, two semi trucks who were talking in very low voices, but with her sharp hearing, she was able to pick up some of the conversation, which appeared to be about a bad life involving family in some other world she had only heard about from Maya. She had noticed two other cars approaching the group as well. One of them smelled like her own species and the other was a hearse of whose unique condition she could pick up clearly with her sharp sense of smell, but also had that same strange smell that she had picked off of Maya when she had first found the girl in the desert a few days ago.
Hmm, interesting, she thought, I should keep an eye on this group. See what they're gonna do. Maybe they might need my help, although I'm not sure that they'll be as accepting of me as Maya and Maxwell are.

Morgan stopped toying with her third empty fuel can, looked up and around the group. "I can speak for no one but myself, but I'm more than ready to get out of this place and see somewhere new." she said in response to Sam's question.

Max was taken slightly back by Maya's comment. "Just how long ago did you get here?" He asked.
Sam let Destiny have her fill, then moved slightly. "Alright. let me show you where you can rest. There is a motel up there, and I think I can group rates." He smiled. "Theo, will you be coming with us, or take Destiny to the apartment complex?"

Maya fell silent for a moment. "Probably a few days, about half a week, I think. Ebony said she found me wandering around in the desert acting very disoriented and confused, so she brought me here. I don't know how long I was doing that, though."

Isaac found himself thirsty once more, and ordered a can of diesel. "I guess I try to focus on the little things in life... like the funny nature of a big tumbleweed." He chuckled a little. "I remember the first time I saw one of those. My dad was driving us out east, and I saw this huge thing in the road. I warned my dad 'cause I thought he was going to hit it, but when he did, it just puffed into a billion little particles on the road."
Isaac's little story was cut short when he looked over, and saw Ebony coming toward the group. He wondered if maybe she was like the rest of them. He studied her interesting appearance for a moment, but looked away, not wanting to seem like he was staring.

"Strange, me and the others got the powers when we arrived here. You got it before us." Maxwell said. "This could mean something, but what, I don't know."
Sam led the group of cars to the motel, but was aware of the viper following them. She was not a human turned car, and this worried him somewhat. He went to the reception and got a set of keys and rooms attached. He handed them to each and every one. "It is for a week, if we haven't found alternatives, I will renew it."

Maya shook her front, "I don't know either."
*****
Ebony kept herself at a distance from this group, intending not to let them think that she was following them. Yet she wanted to find out what this group was all about. She was good at concealing herself and decided that she would not get any closer until she was sure that they meant her no harm.
So these "cars" are "hyoomans" too? Interesting, but why are they here? she though as she watched from a safe distance.
