Shannon Greene & James Feryana - Random Store
Shannon knew he was going to ask. It was written all over his face. She instantly regretted knocking on that window now, even if she knew there was no way she wasn't going to have done that. The thought of traveling with someone new so soon after Lexi made Shannon feel just awful. "I... Well..." She stammered, realizing there was no way she could say no. Her mind drifted toward all of the people that had left her in the past. Her hands balled into fists, knowing that the same fate would befall James or herself eventually.
After a moment of silence, Shannon nodded. "Okay, let's stick together." She looked down at her weapons. "I didn't have much of a plan in mind, but I've been looking around for supplies. How about you?"

Dirk eyed Phoenix, trying to get a read on the guy. He had no idea why Phoenix would want to inquire after that tough dude, but he must have had his reasons. Sighing, Dirk shook his head. "I'm jus' tryin' to help a friend of mine," he said, more to Alice than Phoenix. "I ain't askin' you to come with me inside the quarantine, just to... help me inside." To Phoenix more specifically, he said, "But if you can't fight, then you shouldn't take the risk. If things work out, then..." He smiled behind his mask. "Then I'll try an' meet up with you. I'll probably need some healin'"
It was a lie. Dirk was pretty sure he wouldn't be walking out of the quarantine anytime soon, alive or dead. Hopefully Phoenix was placated by the offer and would go away. It was too dangerous to include him, Dirk had no doubt.
A sensation of movement caused Dirk to look in the direction of where the tough bystander had gone. He had stopped for a moment, for some reason. Dirk was going to bring this to Phoenix's attention when his eyes fell on the thugs that were still littered around them. "But, uh, maybe we could take this conversation somewhere else? I don't think we need more thugs showin' up."

I don't think we need more thugs showin' up."
Dirk arched an eyebrow in Alice's direction. "I don't have any money on me," he said, using his free hand to gesture to his stupid costume. "Never thought to put pockets on this thing." An oversight, to be sure. Strangely, an issue with his lack of pockets had never popped up before. Dirk cleared his throat. "So, look, I have a favor to ask, an' it might sound really crazy, but... It's about the quarantine."
Dirk looked toward Phoenix, unsure if he should wait until the other hero was gone. Dirk didn't want to include more people in this than he had to. Not that Phoenix would be interested in what Dirk had in mind, but he never knew with the hero types. He looked back toward Alice. "It don't matter why, but I need to get inside the quarantine. I can't do it by m'self, so I need some help. I know I'm a total stranger an' all, but... It's very important." He looked down at the pizza box. "And, uh, I can pay for this pizza later. I'll even buy a ton more, I promise." It was an odd offer, certainly not worth risking one's life for, but Dirk couldn't think of anything better at the moment.
Dirk nodded toward Phoenix. "If you wanna help, you're welcomed to, but I can't ensure your safety. I mean, I don't exactly know what you can do, Phoenix. Please don't feel an obligation to help, if that's how you roll."

Well, it's not exactly back-to-back. I don't think anyone else will be bursting on to the scene at the moment.
Shannon Greene & James Feryana - Random Store
Shannon found herself holding her breath as the teenager approached the door of the store. He was alive, at least, and he appeared to have tears in his eyes. A pang of sadness washed over Shannon, the image before her bringing back some unhappy memories. When the boy put the knife down and stepped back from the door, Shannon gingerly went inside. "I'm-I'm not going to hurt you." She practically whispered it, not wanting to upset him. She put down the police baton next to the knife and then pulled off her backpack. She then pulled out the gun she had tucked into her pants and placed it with the other weapons, saying, "Okay, now we're both unarmed."
Shannon continued to kneel on the ground. She would have offered him a smile, but honestly couldn't muster one up at the moment. "I'm alone too. My name's Shannon." She really wasn't sure what she was doing. The guy seemed like he needed help, but Shannon wasn't sure help was something she could offer.

I want there to be a Dah Phoenix joke so bad right now...on a side not...I can't stop laughing...that is one way to deliver a pizza I suppose
Damn, that didn't even cross my mind :0
The girl responded rather matter-of-factly, pointing out the obvious logic of Dirk's words.
"Uh, yeah," he mumbled, his brow furrowing. "I guess that's why I wanted to ask if-"
The sudden sensation of multiple people approaching the area brought Dirk's attention to another bystander, who hadn't quite popped up on his radar. Dirk was used to filtering all of the meaningless electrical stimulation that surrounded him everyday, as it was far too much to think about on a daily basis. It tended to sit as white noise at the back of his mind. Years of not using the power to pinpoint specific people had left Dirk with very weakened senses, he was realizing.
The bystander was approached by what was likely more thugs. After being unfortunately blamed for the previous fight, another fight broke out, leaving Dirk unsure what he should do. The sudden lack of sound made him freeze, and he found himself mesmerized by the bystander's effortless take down of the second group of thugs.
Christ, there were a lot of superhumans about today.
When it was all over, Dirk was hit by a sudden blast, which probably had something to do with the sound returning. The bystander didn't stick around for much longer after that, and was walking away before Dirk or the pizza delivery girl could say anything.
Dirk considered chasing down the guy, maybe even asking him instead about getting into the quarantine. He even took one step away from the girl before stopping himself. There was something about the guy that told him not to bother. Perhaps it was his strength, or perhaps it was how the guy didn't give Dirk or the girl any attention. It was all sort of intimidating, to say the least.
Following this, Dirk could feel something from above. He quickly turned to find someone descending the building. He frowned inwardly at himself. Awesome, even more heroes got to see him in his stupid Conduit suit. Fuck, did it even matter anymore? Everyone probably thought he was useless looking like he did.
When the new guy approached them, Dirk could see he was was a bit shorter than himself, though probably around the same age. A teenager, maybe. The bandana reminded Dirk of a bandit, though he was sure his mask wasn't much more flattering. As he went to accept the handshake, the girl suddenly placed her pizza box in the guy's outstretched hand. Dirk gave her a sidelong look. "Phoenix, huh?" Dirk said, taking the pizza box from him. "I'm Conduit." He then resumed the handshake, giving Phoenix the firmest one he could muster.
"I don't have the slightest idea who that guy was, but maybe you do, Miss...?" Dirk turned to the girl, his eyebrows raised.

Can someone tell me if the second portion of this is pretaining to me? The part about posting your character location and who you are interacting with bit.
Nah, it's just referring to a post I made earlier.

We could always start putting Shannon - Convenience Store - Floyd/Grimm at the top of our posts, which would convey our character name, location, and who they are interacting with in the post, so others can choose to skip the post if they want to. Then it's really not hard to follow what is happening directly to our own character.

Atomyk, is your post referring to my character?
Yes, sorry if it wasn't clear.
