"Oh...." Morgan nodded slightly, then backed up to look at where she had caused the growth of the dormant desert plants. "Interesting...... but work? How long have the others been here? Is it..... Do you think we'll never get back home?" She asked slowly. Being alive was just fine, but being stuck for the rest of her life, however long that might be, as a car? She glanced at Sam again. At least she was stuck with another Land Rover...

Would Destiny even be allowed to drive? She was blind, after all...
However, that concern would have to wait. She resisted the urge to squirm at the feeling of being towed. Awkward...

"Thanks...if my travelling has taught me anything, it's that you never know when some spare change might save your life." Gina said as she took the money...or tried to. With no hands, all that happened was that a small storage compartment in her side opened up. She raised an eyebrow at this, and waited for Maxwell to place the money there. As she did so, she turned her attention to Sam and the newcomer in the distance.

"Your communication antenna has considerable reach and strength than is of our technology, same goes for the radio antenna of cars, and wipers are used for small gestures." Maxwell explained.
"It's been just over one week since I met up with Maxwell, who has been here a month, and I have already made some discoveries. Such as this spot here is particulary weak, has weak borders between the worlds. I cannot explain how it is that you come from all over but appear here, but my best estimate would be that you will leave from here." Samuel explained. "Here are the others." He said as approaching the rest of the group. "Theo, you do remember to stay off the interstate while like this. Chimeras may be more frequent in our world than yours, but still a sight."
Chimera was in the cars world an obvious hybrid from two cars that were of unrelated clan or sub-clan. It happened when twin fetus merged into one another and formed one whole, bearing two different sets of DNA. The negative impact it left on humans was unknown in the cars world, but often gave an obvious clue of the identity of both parents than just one of them. And since BMW clan did not have towtrucks in their ranks, Theo could be mistaken for a Chimera.

"I had no idea you're a photographer, but I've always enjoyed the art," Isaac said to Gina with a slight smile, "Being a trucker, I always did a lot of landscape photography--took my camera everywhere I went."
He then turned his attention to the one who suggested how he could fake sick. "That's an interesting idea... if it doesn't hurt, and is very easy to fix, I'll do it."

"Hmm..." Morgan nodded slowly, deep in thought. She followed him to where the others were, taking in the varied forms the other humans had obtained. "Hello...." she offered quietly, flicking a tire off the ground in a slight wave. "I'm Morgan.... guess we're all in the same boat.... figuratively speaking, of course.....since we're..... not boats." She finished nervously, then cast her eyes down, preoccupying herself with the grass sprouting about her, brushing at it gently with a fore tire.

((OOC: Sorry, I was waiting on Tracker.))
"Sam?" Maxwell asked as he approached. "Where was the straggler?"
"My spell seemed to pinpoint it near the cave, you could perhaps catch the scent." Samuel replied.
"Alright then. I got to find our last one who is missing, so Theo and Sam will get you to Crystal Bay." Maxwell said to the group. "Sam will provide you with some motel rooms until we figure out how to house all of us comfortably."
"Alright, follow me." Sam said as taking the lead.
Maxwell headed to the cave in the desert in hope of catching the scent of the straggler.

((Sort of killed this RP with my inactivity...sorry.))
Theo nodded to Maxwell. "Yeah...and I guess that would apply almost any time I use my ability. Better learn the back roads around this place soon." He said, before looking at Isaac. "I've been studying the anatomy of cars ever since I came here...I know enough that a few mismatched wires won't cause any pain or permanent damage. Though your instincts might make you feel weird when you try to switch on your headlights and only one light and a turn indicator comes on." Theo grinned at the prospect of finally applying his newfound knowledge.
Seeing Sam drive away, he followed, talking back to Destiny. "If you have any trouble or feel that anything is wrong, just tell me and I'll stop on the side of the road." He said.
"Wow..." Gina said, surprised. She grabbed the money with the antenna mounted ahead of and slightly to the side of her cockpit, and placed it into the compartment which snapped shut. "Never would've guessed that on my own." She turned back to Isaac. "I'm into natural and urban photography...opposites of each other, but that just makes each more interesting."
She unfolded her rotors and took off as she saw the others moving on, intending to follow them to the motel and remember their location before heading to the local airport.

Isaac looked to Morgan with a nod of his front in greeting before he turned back to Gina to find that she had taken off already. He turned around, and started in the direction of the rest of the folk. He cast a sideways glance to Morgan as he caught up with her. "I'm Isaac... and not a boat, either." He gave a bit of a chuckle as he followed the rest.

The Disco, too, chuckled in response to Isaac's statement. "I see that. How long have you been here?" She asked as she followed the group, glancing over at Gina briefly.

"One more thing, if you see a police officer that is a Mustang, do not really do anything out of the ordinary. He is already suspicious as Maxwell did the mistake of talking to him about being human just after he arrived." Sam said. "He's usually patrolling the interstate, so we won't probably see him in the back roads."
Maxwell had gone to the cave and caught the scent of two individuals, one of which had the distinct smell that only the humans seemed to have. He quickly used a small artifact from Sam, a card which looked like a scent-tag. It was used mostly by and for helos to keep a smell of someone for identification purpose or just to remember.
He had the smells, now to search. He followed the near-cold trail back to Crystal Bay by another route than Sam and the others were taking.
((Away for the weekend, going to the other side of the country. You should be able to RP without me for that period of time.))

"Just got here about an hour ago, I'd say it was," Isaac replied, "If I'm correct in my thinkin', just about everybody here except Maxwell, and Theo are new here. It's like we're all just croppin' up out of nowhere like being a vehicle was goin' out of style." He laughed a little, and continued driving.

Gina's keen ears heard Morgan's question, and she descended until she was hovering above the two cars to chime in. "I've been here for around the same amount of time...sounds like something made all of us pop up at once." She then realised she hadn't met Morgan. "Oh...and I'm Gina."
"So, Destiny?" Theo asked, trying to start a conversation with the car he was towing. "How did you come here? I mean, what happened right before you jumped? Does your car form here have anything to do with your human form?"

Destiny tried her hardest to ignore the awkward feeling of being towed. She could squirm later.
"The last thing I remember is crossing a street. I was on my way to campus. I remember hearing a loud engine and people screaming, but I must have blacked out."

Morgan nodded in response to Sam's advice about the Mustang, then looked up at the helicopter above them. She was buffeted by the downdraft from the helo's blades, but still managed to answer. "I'm Morgan... and I just got here. When I first did.... I thought I was dead. Good to find out I'm not, though.....better alive as a Rover than dead as a human." She looked around at the terrain they were passing through as they traveled. Though her power did not manifest itself through the pavement, any time she paused the roadside scrub grew just a bit greener.
