[Somewhere around mid-afternoon, within a few hours of the car monster's first appearance, a video pops up on the network of a mostly-empty street recognizable as being a few blocks away from the library. The leaves in the foreground indicate that the user's hiding behind a bush.

Nobody seems to be around but offscreen, somebody speaks in a conspiratorial stage whisper.]

Hey. Hey guys! I'm going to try and stop that car that's been on the loose today! Just gotta wait for it to come around here, heh heh heh.

If you want to join in, I'm over at the intersection of Sixth and Bedford! I don't know how long it'll take for the car to get here, but it could take a while.

Wha--a car that's been on the loose? Like...how on the loose?

[notspecial]

You didn't hear? There's a car speeding around town crashing into stuff and causing a bunch of trouble. No driver or anything. I'm pretty sure something important is going on, so I wanna find out!

[video]

[gogoghostpowers]

What? Holy--okay, just--just stay there! I'm gonna get there as fast as I can!

[video]

[notspecial]

Great! I don't see any sign of the car yet, but it could come at any time!

... What? Did you just say that a car is on the loose? What are you talking about?

There's a car driving around without anyone driving! I saw it turn on a red light near my school, and it nearly crashed into someone. He's okay, but the car's still going!

That's... I mean, I know weird crap happens in the world now, but seriously? A self driving car? This is happening in Locke, right?

[sjokolade]

Uh...can you take it down?

[notspecial]

I'm going to try! You?

[sjokolade]

Of course not! How can I fight without any echoes back to me? I really hope you know what you're going to do with that car!

[charcoalfeather]

Uh... a car?

Like, the thing with the wheels? There's one on the loose?

[Video]

[notspecial]

Yeah, is there any other kind of car? I saw it a little while ago, and it nearly ran someone over!

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

Well, I mean, there's someone driving the car, right?

[She's a bit of a recluse you see.]

[moarnomsplz]

A car on the loose? Like, by itself, sell-fuh?

[video]

[notspecial]

Yeah, exactly! Hey, Alex, you want to come over here?

[video]

[moarnomsplz]

You bet! On my way.

[Conveniently, Nora is heading home from the ice cream parlor downtown when she gets this. Which means she's free to unwisely try to stop supernatural cars.]

Seriously? I'm not too far from there! I'm on my way!

[Because this looks like a job for someone with actual skills the Reincarknights!]

[Video]

[notspecial]

Yeah, come on over! Two heads are better than one.

See you in a few!

[She'll head over as quickly as she can. Suddenly her enhanced stamina is really useful. At least she won't be out of breath when she arrives. When she gets close to the intersection he mentioned, she starts looking around at nearby bushes.]

I kind of admit I'm a little curious. Though I wouldn't recommend trying to stop a car...

[notspecial]

Hey, a guy can try!

[convictus]

I guess there's nothing wrong with that. But, are you really sure you want to go up against a car? I've seen a lot of traffic accident injuries like this...

[ Someone is still freaking out over the fact that he might've somehow lifted another car in the area when he saw the berserker car racing toward some bystanders. So he probably looks pale and out of breath when he answers the feed. ]

That thing's tryin' to kill people! How do you expect to stop it?

[notspecial]

I got some things on the way here! I'm gonna try with that.

Re: video;

[saviorsoul]

Things on that way? What sorta things? A forklift?
