"You mean like spirits from the unknown?" Lisa said, letting the historian come out in her. "...hm..."

"I don't think I've ever had any contact with spirits before," shrugged Ebony, "and I don't think I've ever heard of any legends connected to this town during the 9 years that I've lived here."

"I could head over to the library to read up on the history." Lisa offered, glancing at her. "...either that or blow it off completely. One way or another, I'm game."

Ebony thought about it, then glanced at Lisa. "I think you'd better head over to the library. I'd go too, but... I have to watch the children."

"Right." Lisa shrugged, smiling at her. "...I totally understand. I'll let you know what I find.". She then put her engine in to drive and rolled away, careful not to kick up any dirt to hurt the children.

-About Radiator Springs, driving to the beat of their own drum, a pair of ghostly combine harvesters stood in the wind behind the Cozy Cone, talking amongst themselves. One's name was Micheal, the other named Furge. They were brothers, and they were both dead.-
-Micheal laughed at his brother:- Ha! You don't know your header from a hole in the ground!
-Furge looked down at the set of blades in front of him, and paused:- What are you talkin' about, I know what I see! There's a bug right there, see it!
-Micheal looked at the insect as it buzzed around and through Furge's header.- Yeah, yeah.
-Their endless banter was likely what Ebony was picking up on.-

"Oh, dude, I love this song!" Lisa grinned, as Hotel California played on her radio, as she continued to roll on down the road towards the library.

Ebony just sighed and settled back on her tires beside her sister-in-law, who looked a little tired as well and not only having sounding like it. She could understand about being that way after the birth of her twins and she sympathized with Phoenix.
But she got to thinking. What does the Trans Am thinking of her hearing things?
She turned to Phoenix, "Nix, do you think I'm crazy?"
"Crazy?" Phoenix blinked, "No, I don't. Why?"
"Because of these whisperings I've been hearing," explained the Viper, "It's kind of unnerving to having something or someone doing it two inches from you, but you look in that direction an nobody's even there."
"That sounds..." said the Trans Am, "weird... but, I still don't think you're crazy. Maybe it has something to with your empathic abilities."
"My empathic abilities." It was Ebony's turn to blink, "Um, Nix... All I can pick up are emotions, not ghosts..."
"It's a possibility..." shrugged Phoenix, "and it might be worth looking into sometime. You still don't know how much or what you can do with your empathy yet, do you?"
Ebony shook her front, "No, I'm afraid not."
"Well... just think about it," suggested Phoenix, "Who knows. Maybe you'll find out something new about yourself."
Nodding in agreement, Ebony settled back down again, contemplating just what in the heck was happening to her.

-Furge rocked on his hydraulics some, singing with Lisa's radio that he could still hear:- Livin' it up at the Hotel California!
-Micheal just looked down.- Oh, boy. Furge, never try out for Ghostland Idol, PLEASE.
-Furge:- Why not? There was some lady-ghost-cars back in Nitropolis that told me I was pretty good.
-Micheal sighed:- They were high on static.

In another part of the town, another car was looking over the account books which told her how much money her magic shop had made in the past few years since she had reopened it in her mother's name. She was a deep emerald green with chocolate brown eyes. Her name Jade Harrison and the town's only Ferrari Enzo as well as one of the local magic-users.
She could sense that something was up, but did not know what was going on, but it was definately coming from the spirit world that she was in close contact with at all times. Perhaps she could ask them on her next seance session, which was going to be this evening.
~~~~~
With her attention back on the children, Ebony didn't know what else to do in the meantime. She had no idea how her empathy was giving her a connection into the spirit world and why. She stopped thinking about it when one of her children cried out.
"Ow! Mom! Krill hit me!" cried the high-pitched voice of her daughter, Maven.
"Krill, don't hit your sister," Ebony admonished her son.
"I did not!" Krill protested vigorously, "Mave's just making things up. Or she's just using her magic against me."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Guys, chill!" Ebony stood up and went over to her children, looking down on them sternly, "There's no need to argue with each other. Now could you please tell me what happened?"
"I was looking around a tree when something hit me near my left rear wheel," explained Maven, "It was just a light punch, so I just assumed that it was Krill..."
"I said, I didn't hit you," repeated Krill.
"Alright, if you didn't hit me, than who did?" asked Maven.
Krill had a blank look. He shrugged helplessly, "I... don't know..."
Ebony blinked, finding this more and more puzzling. Who would want to harm her daughter, but can't be seen?
(((((OOC: One of the malevelant ghosts maybe...?)))))

Lisa continued to roll on down towards the library, passing a certain tow truck and speeding up slightly. "Howdy, Mater, what's up?" She speedily said, making a hasty beeline for the library.

"I didn't see anyone," Chase said as he pulled up to where his aunt and mother were. "I thought you got hit by a pinecone again."

Behind the group, a fallen stick raised from the ground- seemingly on it's own accord- and started hitting the nearest tree.

Chase yelped at the sound and speed behind his mother as fast as his fiver year old engine could go. Phoenix blinked as he peered out from behind her bumper.

But Ebony had dragged the twins away already, muttering something about 'stupid imagination' and left the park. She wanted to catch up with Lisa to see if she can join the Lamborghini at the library.
