[ In the many streets of Prospero ]

[ Today happens to be Elsie's birthday, and what does a demon do on their birthday? Well nothing really it's like any other normal birthday. Only this time Elsie had somehow gotten a ride on a firetruck from one of the local firefighters who thought it was be in the spirit of things to let the birthday girl have a trip around town in a firetruck.

Only now Elsie is somehow in the driver's seat after they made a brief stop and rolling throw town not knowing how to drive. ]

T-this is really bad, I don't know how to stop a firetruck...

[Yeah, there's going to be a sushi truck/ fish truck/ whatever truck driver passing by beside Elsie's truck.

He's going to peer over to the side while steering his own. What in Servant's name is that kid doing inside the driver's seat?]

[moedemon]

[ Elsie's in a state of panic right now, because demons don't know how to drive. ]

U-Um, firetrucks need to stop sometime... [ At this point Elsie is just flailing her arms around trying to get someone to stop this thing. ]

[monohoshizao]

[Helping her might be the best.

But he is Assassin, and Assassin does not intrude in one's business. So he'll watch how things unfold first, with an unseen smirk on his lips.]

[moedemon]

[ Wow Assassin, way to be kinda a jerk and not help out someone who's clearly in trouble. ]

I really don't want anyone to get hurt because of this. [ and now Elsie is crying. ]

[monohoshizao]

[No fuck was given that day.

Except Kojiro isn't that evil, he'll push the button of his own truck's sirene to get her attention.]

[moedemon]

[ Suddenly random siren noises after looking around trying to figure out if she screwed up another thing she notices the nearby truck. ]

Can you help me!?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

*blink. blinkblink.*

...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh!?

[moedemon]

Heeeeeelp [ yep at this point Elsie is just screaming for help as the truck rolls past people. [/small>

[forgivethemtheirpain]

What-- *Lucia runs out of the way and starts thinking. Where was the -- could she even get to the door by the time this thing got to her? Well, she was going to try. RUN. LEAP. TRY NOT TO GET ARM YANKED OFF BY FORCE OF TRUCK.*

[moedemon]

S-sorry, please get out of the way, I really don't want anyone to get run over!

[forgivethemtheirpain]

*Did she just... yes, Queen Derp just did an action movie dive for the truck and yanked the door open while clinging onto the handle on the side of the back door and standing on the steps.

Lucia you are ridiculous.*

[moedemon]

Awah~ U-um you're very brave to do all that but do you know how to stop this thing?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Uh... That comes later! Try taking your foot off that thing there!

[moedemon]

Take my foot off the pedal thing? Awah, that's the gas isn't it...

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Right, and -- *It's still moving.* Come on, hit the brakes!

*Unfortunately for these two, fire trucks have something else that keeps them moving. The water moving in the truck adds to the momentum even if you put the brakes on. Lucia, having never driven one of these things in her life, is just slamming on the brakes and praying for dear life. ...To herself? I'm not sure how that works.*

[moedemon]

It's still moving...

[ Now Elsie is just crying, it's all her fault this happened and now someone else is going to get hurt because of it. ]

I still can't do anything right.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

It's okay! Even if neither of us can do anything right the first time... *Trying to at least turn before this thing crashes into something!* We can try our best, right?

[rocker]

[ Unsuspecting passerby #3?! David is here, either way, just.. well, regularly taking a walk to clear his mind since he has been slightly mopey lately.. Not even noticing the firetruck yet. ]

[moedemon]

U-Um, MR. GREENHAIRED PERSON I WOULD GET OUT OF THE WAY!

[ Because the firetruck looks like it's about to hit him and Elsie doesn't know where the brakes are. ]

[rocker]

[ Wait, is someone calling out for-- holyshitit'safiretruckheadingrightforhim. It's a good thing David's reflexes are at least good, so he manages to jump out of the way just in time. ]

... What..

[moedemon]

U-um, I was taking a ride in the firetruck and I somehow landed in the drivers seat...

[rocker]

Are you sure you are alright? I would offer my help, but this is not entirely something I am used to either..

[moedemon]

I'm fine! B-but I don't know how to stop this and people might get run over due to it...

[rocker]

Is there perhaps not some sort of.. button to make it stop?

[ He's been getting vague ideas about machinery in these times, but still.. 8| ]

[moedemon]

I know there's a button to make the sirens go off!

[rocker]

Then at least you know that is not the right button.

... Or is that perhaps the only button around?

[moedemon]

Well I think you use a pedal for the brake?

[rocker]

Are there not any pedals there, then?

[caliberill]

[That is. A firetruck. The problem is, why is it rolling at this rate?]

Huh...?

[moedemon]

[ Elsie is screaming at the top of her lungs at this point so people get the heck out of the way. ]

I-I'm really worry but please get out of the way so you don't get flattened like a pancake!

[caliberill]

[And when he hears that voice combined with that phrase?

Nate really doesn't know why some people here drive. Quick at the warning, he's moving to the side, out of the way of the firetruck. He's shouting back at her.]

What are you doing?!

[moedemon]

U-um well this nice firefighter was letting me ride around in the truck but then this happened and I don't know how to drive...

[caliberill]

[He's... running beside the firetruck now, just so you know. It's pretty hard to keep up, but he sure as hell is trying.]

The- the door! Is it unlocked?!

[moedemon]

It's unlocked but it's a bad idea to try and open it when the truck is going this fast!

[caliberill]

[.. He's had worse ideas. Don't mind if he tries to keep pace with the truck.]

Do you see the pedals on the floor? Push on the brake, it's the left one!
