Won the contest, but don't like the prize

[random_xtras]

There is a Delorian in the Nexus. That's right, sleek, futuristic car, painted a lovely and cultured shade of green

Maybe I could give you a ride, before you get something more suitable?

[random_xtras]

"Hmm?" The man looks up at the ship with no trace of surprise in his expression or body language.

[statsraaden]

If I can take you anywhere...

[random_xtras]

"Oh. Thank you for the offer, but I'm well supplied with transportation. My wife and my two eldest son have quite a lovely collection of classic cars." A slight smile comes to the man's face and eyes.

Kalap is sitting inside a purple, winged alien motorcycle. It is hovering a foot above the air. "I'll trade you this if you'd like. I'm no longer able to reach the controls." He was recently de-aged, you see.

[random_xtras]

"Hmmm, no. My sons would probably love it. But it'd be deucidly hard to explain to the locals." The man sits up slightly. "No longer able? Did something happen?"

[child_of_balaho]

"A human box thing flashed a bright light and now I'm too small to ride this ghost. I can barely walk in my armour now and my weapons require two hands to lift now."

[random_xtras]

"Ah." The man relaxes with a smirk. "You might want to keep your bike, then."

[metody_green]

Metody's face lights up.

" - that's a Delorian!" His tone suggests the man does not appreciate his overabundance of luck.

"..um, I've got a - " quick, don't call it a crapmobile " - Toyota. If you really want to trade. But seriously, Delorians are neat cars. You should keep it."

[random_xtras]

"Yes," comes the bored reply. "I'm quite aware of the make, thank you. The thought of how frightfully the hideous beast would clash with my wife's other cars makes me shudder."

Then the man looks up, though he's still leaning on his fist. "Well, I was thinking of something more classic. What make is your Toyota?"

[metody_green]

He laughs. "It's a 2002 Toyota Corolla, repainted this year. I honestly don't think you'd want to be anywhere near it. Maybe if you thought of the Delorian as complementing or contrasting with the other cars?"

A pause.

" - and possibly another coat of paint." Metody thinks it's just lovely, but Metody is a man who willingly wears sequined Hawaiian shirts in public.

[random_xtras]

"Hmm. Corollas are supposedly classic in their own right, but it would clash just as badly as this beastly thing. You see, my wife fancies Barracudas and Corvettes and the like. And she has a most fetching cobalt blue Shelby Cobra."

For some reason his smirk as he talks about that last car is nearly insufferably smug.

"Well, I don't have anything on me now, but if you tell me what you're looking for, I'm positive I can find one," says the short black haired man, "Easily."

[random_xtras]

Tracks looks up at the voice, and then falters and feels a little stunned at sight of the black-haired man's clothing.

[swindle_blitz]

Swindle catches that, looks down at his gold and purple outfit, then asks, "What?" with the biggest grin possible.

Stunned Tracks is stunned. XD

[random_xtras]

Tracks blinks, his face crumbling just ever so slightly in pain. "Ahhhh."

[clockwork_doc]

Doc stops dead upon seeing the scene before him. Great Scott, is that a --

is. . .that. . .a. . .

"Who paints a DeLorean green?" he demands of no one in particular. "Who paints stainless steel in the first place?"

[random_xtras]

Icy blue eyes flick toward him, full of boredom as their owner drawls, "I have no idea, but it's not as if anything could make this beast uglier."

[clockwork_doc]

Doc frowns a little at that. "Honestly, I've always thought DeLoreans were rather good-looking cars," he says, examining the one this fellow's got. "Not so much when they're green, granted. . . . Where'd you get it, anyway?"

[random_xtras]

Tracks sniffs disdainfully. "From a contest here in the Nexus which purported to be giving away a dream car."

Then he raises one brow without taking his face from his hand. "So you like this, do you?"
