Transported

[Vibro repairman]

The smooth road suddenly gave way to bumpy, uneven ground, and if I had momentarily dozed off at the wheel on the highway, I was certainly awake now, struggling to regain control as my car swerved, and, for a few horrible moments, thought it was going to overturn, the bright sunlight making me wince.

Managing to bring the old beamer to a juddering halt, I slumped against the steering wheel, gathering my breath from the shock. Reaching over, I opened the passenger compartment and fished out my sunglasses, putting them on, and looked up.

I had been driving from Denver to San Fransico, a journey I had made several times before, on the way to visit my cousin Carl and his wife, and last I knew I was on a stretch of road in the Nevada desert. This certainly wasn't a desert. Closing my eyes for a while didn't help change the terrain, so I finally wound down the window and looked out, my mind switching from racing thoughts to near shocked numbness as I tried to comprehend what I saw, what had happened, where I was...

The ground was mostly rugged looking, and of a bluish-green hue, with large patches of what looked like red moss, from which sprouted long stalks with white fluffy balls on top, somewhat like oversized dandylion clocks, if dandylions grew to nine feet in height that is. Looking down outside my drivers door, I could see the blue-green earth was in fact made of tiny crystals, ranging from about the size of one of my thumbnails and down. Here and there rocky outcrops of similarly coloured stone or crystal jutted, I saw, as I looked further afield. Looking round, I could see where my tyres had gouged their path through the strange terrain, and a little distance off behind, where the tracks... begun.

I wasn't the only vehicle about either. A ways back, I could see a big truck rig and its trailer, the sides emblazoned with the Coca Cola slogan, its colours jarring with the surroundings. Behind that, a convertible sports car, its top down, and its passengers, a young man and a couple of women, stood up in their seats staring around in disbelief that probably matched my own. With the uneven terrain, there could be more... surprised arrivals, I guess. No sign of any highway, or anything that resembled any part of Nevada. Or any part of the earth, for that matter.

I was contemplating stepping out for several minutes, but thought better of it when the ground shifted, and something moved beneath the crystalline 'sand,' leaving a wake behind it that brought uneasily to mind the old film, Tremors. So, instead, I turned the ignition again, revving up the stalled engine, and turned my car around, driving towards the nearby truck, the closest thing I could see that looked... well, normal... beyond the confines of my own vehicle, coming to a halt some ten paces away from the drivers side of the rig.

OOC: Open for anyone to join in... and feel free to message me with any ideas, this just kinda sprung up and I'm not sure myself where to take it.

 

[LOST&FOUND]

I sped along on the highway lost in my own thought. It was good to finally be back on the road again and feel the openness of the road. I must not have been paying as much attention to the road as I should have because the next thing I know I feel the real of my motorcycle skid out sending me fishtailing out of control, eventually coming to a halt when my head collided with something hard and un-giving.
When I regained my senses I found my self in a strange clearing occupied by a few other people. Standing up slowly I looked around trying to figure out where I ended up, but the stinging pain at the back of my head forced me back to the ground. I slowly pulled my helmet off hoping that the air would help to clear my head. Taking a deep breath I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and the pain in my head subsided.
With my head finally cleared of cobwebs and the ability to stand on my own I decided to look over my bike in the hope that I would be able to get out of here soon. But much to my chagrin it was as I had expected. My rear tire was shredded. Shredded by what looked like tiny crystals, the very same crystals that were now lodged in the back of my helmet. Well it looks like I may be here for a while I thought to myself as I stood and walked over to the other people...

A soft giggle echoes through the large dandylion looking trees as there seems to be a vast majority of them, somewhat like a forest. Doe like, emerald green eyes peeking out from behind one as she watches the approaching visitors. A small, creme colored hand moves to her pouty, pink lips as she surpresses another childlike giggle and she skips out from behind one tree and moves towards another. All that is able to be seen is a flash of brilliant green and a shine of a dark blue hue, the tail of her ankle length dress flowing behind her along with her raven curls.

She peeks out again from behind her new spot, watching the man from the car with childlike interest and she can't help but giggle once again and it echoes through the forest once again. Her slender hand covers her mouth again and she ducks back behind the tree as some of the people, including the man, looks her way. Oh, the Queen will be very pleased now that she has some more males for the picking and she can't help but give a little squeal of delight before peeking again.

Dressed in a beautiful dress of emerald green, gold and irredescent scales, looking somewhat like an elf or a fairy but minus the wings or the ears. Just holding that beauty and elegant grace, along with her playful demeanor. Her footsteps fall without a sound, her breathing lost to the soft breezes that blow easily and smoothly through the "trees" and she begins to sing softly. Letting her voice be carried by the breeze and towards the men and women that have arrived, calming them so as not to panic too harshly from the change of scenery. The voice is soprano-ish, holding mystery yet not seeming to hide anything at all, smooth and pleasing to the ear.

As I slowly walked across the clearing I could have sworn that I heard a giggle coming from the direction of some dandelion like growths. I paused to give them a closer look but seeing nothing I continued on my way.
