Lily is driving aimlessly, sticking to quiet roads; turning this way and that to make sure she isn’t being pursued by any runners.

When the alien speak, the van skids to a halt in the middle of a quiet street, and Lily turns around to take in the spectacle!

Can’t imagine why they’ve been persecuted… she thinks glibly but doesn’t speak.

"Holy shit. Hey, Zach! Ask it… eh, her… ask if they can communicate with each other. You know, telepathically."

"You know Lily, we're all in the same car. Why don't you just ask..."
He pauses, then turns to Not-Rose. "Uhm, what pronouns do you prefer?" Is that a normal question to ask an alien? "And do you have a name?"

Freddie snaps a pic with his cellphone, and then texts Lily and Zach, OMFG OMFG OMFG WTAF! and attaches the pic with a pin of their loc.

He whispers to Emily, "I sent them the pic and where we are. Dare me to go touch it?" He creeps forward.

With that stellar provider, Fred, let's see if you can get a message out. Roll a d6 and try to hit the usual 4 for success. Oh, -1 for being in the woods, and -1 for Cricket. Nice stealth roll, though!

Emily! Stealth roll!
Oct 6, 2023 1:04 am
Holy fuck! Zach was ... right?

Emily creeps closer but when Freddie starts acting the goof she almost shrieks, "No! Jesus! Don't! Maybe it's ... it's ... I dunno ... contaminated?"
OOC:
Benny up!
OOC:
Yes!

Now hear this! +1 Benny if you kidnapped your sister, drove a van with no license, or explored dark woods like crazy people. (Everyone take a Benny.)

Stopped on a Quiet Side Street (Zach, Lily, Not-Rose and Wendy)

Rose Tidwell
With the van idling and Lily asking her question, Rose might be about to answer -- but then Zach opens a different conversational door.

Cocking her head a little as she listens to her brother, Rose drops her voice to a whisper, and she sounds more like Rose again. "Oh, oh. I see. Come closer, Zach. Why did you do it? Why are you a he now? What's that like?"

Wendy Lin
There's a shift in focus in the scene and we suddenly seen Wendy making wide-eyed, panicked eye contact with Lily. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?! the look says.

Near the Woods on the Other Side of the Banks (Fred and Emily)
Belinda Solomon

Seconds after Emily almost yelps, struck by the enormity of what she's seeing, a door in the side of the silver-hulled space ship swirls and irises open. Standing inside, framed by neon pink light behind her, is Belinda Solomon, Fred's stepmom.

She's a wreck, though an extremely sexy one. Her hair is tousled, her little skirt is rumpled, her black stockings are torn and ripped, and the sheer, form-fitting blouse she wears -- the one that leaves so little to Fred's overactive imagination -- is buttoned up one button askew.

She carries two heavy looking cases, one in each hand, and walks off the ship without seeing the two teens. Steam or frost or something is blowing off the two cases into the night air, which look from this distance like piece of high-tech luggage, complete with blinking LED lights.
OOC:
No luck on the cell service, Freddie.

Zach awkwardly looks at Lily and Wendy. They already know he is gay, and with this, it probably won't take them long to figure out the rest as well anyway.
So he takes a shaky breath, then smiles nervously at his two friends for a moment before turning to Not-Rose again. "If I tell you about me being trans, will you in turn tell me about yourselves and the others like you?" he offers.
Oct 6, 2023 3:01 am
Freddie pulls on Emily's arm and nods back toward the cars. He whispers, "Come on."

He follows her back through the woods, trying not to make a sound or use the flashlight much. Still, his mind is half full of thoughts of what Belinda has been doing, at the car, and maybe inside the spaceship. Emily is so close, the woods so dark. They could, right here. It would be so dangerous, so forbidden.

They could ambush Belinda near the cars, get the cases, question her. But they might have time for ...

He groans.

Stopped on a Quiet Side Street (Zach, Lily, Not-Rose and Wendy)

Wendy Lin
"What is happening right now?!" Wendy says aloud to whoever is listening, but mostly to Lily, whose toe is still on the brake.

Aliens?! Zach is trans?! WTF!?

"Seriously!" Wendy cries.

Rose Tidwell
"You would like it," Rosie whispers, "switching bodies. These ones... we like these ones." The girl just nods and smiles when Zach makes his offer.

"Let me up so we can talk. I won't try to get away."

Stopped on a Quiet Side Street (Zach, Lily, Not-Rose and Wendy)

Zach's cheeks flush red when Wendy reacts in a probably reasonable manner to the revelation. He swallows, then says, "I've been meaning to tell you. Remember, we made plans to hang out after school today - you two, Aaron and me. Things just went to hell before we had a chance." He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, then says, "Yes, I'm trans. It's why my family moved here, because I was bullied for it at my old school." He turns his eyes to Rose. "And sure, I would love nothing more than to switch bodies with someone else. But I wouldn't do it unless they also wanted it. I know what it's like to be in a body that's not right."

He turns to Lily. "Can you lock the doors here in the back so they won't open from inside? Just in case." It's clear he's planning to untie Not-Rose.

Lily meets Wendy’s eye, and holds it for a second, communicating the necessary:

Don’t ask me! I had no idea…

Then she clears her throat, and turns back around in her seat, as if turning her back would offer the two enough privacy in this small space to hold a conversation like this.

She starts up the car again, and chimes to Wendy:

"Private! Private!" before Zach actually starts telling the story. She listens closely, ears on Zach and eyes on the road. She thumbs the central locking system when Zach asks.

"These probably aren’t the circumstances you wanted to tell us under." Lily broaches. "I hope you don’t mind that part…" is all she can think to say. She knew this would be a difficult process for Zach.

She looks at Wendy in the rear view mirror and makes eyes:

Say something…

Lily starts driving towards her own house as the others talk.
Oct 6, 2023 2:11 pm
"I'm coming, I'm coming. But you sound like an elephant. Don't be so loud and stop groaning."

Alone in the woods. If it wasn't for all the rest of the shit going down it would be such a romantic spot for making out. Banishing her lewd thoughts, she wonders about what they had just seen.

It can't be. This is fucked up. Aliens. No way. Am I still high? Can't be.

She decides that Belinda will have the answers they seek. One can hope...
Oct 6, 2023 3:34 pm
"It's not how I imagined it going," Zach replies to Lily as he begins freeing Not-Rose from the tangle of seatbelts he and Wendy had trapped her in. "But I'm glad you know now."

Wendy Lin
Wendy is just wide-eyed and speechless for a moment as she catches Lily's eyes in the mirror, but then she looks at Zach, kind of numb, from where she holds Rosie by the legs.

"Should I... should I let go of her?" she asks.
Oct 7, 2023 5:31 am
Zach just nods briefly at her as he let's go of where he is holding Not-Rose in place. He watches his possessed sister suspiciously, but unless she immediately begins thrashing around or trying to escape, he then sits down next to her.

Lily’s eyes turn to the alien in the backseat, and she asks:

"So, can you all communicate telepathically, then? No reason. Just curious."

She coughs, to break any awkward silence:

"Want me to turn on the heat? You… guys…"

Don’t say things…

"… like the heat, right?"

And don’t like the cold?… she hopes the others pick up on the implication.

Driving Down a Quiet Side Street (Zach, Lily, Not-Rose and Wendy)

The van is moving again as Zach and Wendy relent and let Rose up. Wendy moves to the third row, climbing over the seat as the siblings sit calmly next to one another on the bench seat behind Lily.

Rose Tidwell
Rose looks at the driver in the mirror as she responds to the girl's questions. "Telepathy? Who told you that? And sure, crank the heat. I'm really underdressed."

Turning to Zach, Rose continues and glances down at her perfect teenaged tank-top cleavage. "Clearly I'm a she, right? And I can't even pronounce my name with this body. Human mouths aren't equipped to do our language justice.

Then, before Zach can fully respond, a deep, burbling gurgle sounds in Rose's stomach, and her chest heaves. Her mouth opens and she prepares to spew all over him!

In order, that's Lily, Wendy, Rose, Zach. You're up Lily!
