"I don't expect much here," she says to Alice. "What would they want with an office supply store? These places bored me to tears as a little kid."
She checks the area, and debarks, enters the store, and scans for some useful things, as well as any sketchbooks or reams of paper. Flashlights, batteries, useful electronic devices... Even just things made of good material for cannibalizing the parts.

She knew the stories about Ovalisks, but the little arms around her had felt so nice, and the little girl looked so cute, she kept wishing she's scooped her up into her arms and taken her hone so she could be a big sister. She let the gun hang, using both hands to grab sketchpads, "There's no coloured pencils over here... I want coloured pencils", she said, walking ahead of Harriet, but not too far ahead.
Indeed Harriet was right, no threats can be found in the office supply store. Everything inside is covered in a thin layer of dust, even the floor. As the two girls walked around the store, they left shoe prints in the dust. At the entrance, the girls would notice several pairs of small footprints. If followed they would tell them that a couple Ovies once explored this place, but went right back out after finding nothing useful (to them anyway). All sorts of things can be found here; electronics, pads, pens, pencils (colored pencils too if you know where to look), office chairs, copiers, etc.

His eyes go wide as the Ovalisks make their move. He pauses, considering his options, then picks up his dropped supplies. He walks over to his car, stowing the bags into the trunk before shutting it and turning back around. He draws his pistols, and waits to see if the gang bangers can handle themselves.
Flannery wrote:The semi slowly creeps up to the jeep. Ellis looks out the cab's door. "Boy, I never thought I would actually say thank you to the Ovies for making my job a little easier." Ellis sees the girls run off with there new found friends. He looks down at the jeep and see the 50. His armor was thick, but not enough to repel a bullet of that magnitude. Even with the steal around him they would have turned it into Swiss cheese. However the gun itself would make a fine addition to his truck. Ellis jumps down and walks up to the jeep. He remains vigilant to his surrounding and he starts to rip off the jeeps gun mount.
“CARL! No!” the driver exclaimed. The gunner continued to change and shift rapidly. His skin started to pale into a more whitish hue and his hair grew down to his waist and turned red and his screaming increased in pitch as his now overgrown clothes became tight enough to fit and merged into a crimson lollita-esc outfit. Lastly, his…or shall we say her face became more feminine and cute looking and little mounds formed on her chest as the final stages of Ovification complete itself. To the other three gangbangers it was a frightening sight. The new Ovie looked confused, yet the twins giggled and hugged their new sister with satisfied grins on their faces. One of the twins points to the new Ovie and then at the gangbangers,
“Huggle! Be merry~ ^^” She says.
“Mary?” Asks the red-head. The other twin shrugs and nods at the new Ovie.
“Yay~!” The newly dubbed Mary shouts as she gets off the gun mount and starts running towards Loc and Grey! Twin 1 follows the new Ovie, and Twin 2 takes cover near the relative safety of the gas pumps and watches the action with a sly grin as if rooting for her sister...
“Yo Big Manny, I got these bitches!” Gray shouts to the driver as they draw their pistols. “Loc, you lure them away from the pumps, I’mma see if I can bussa cap in dey ass!”
“You got it bro…” He readies his spiked bat and starts running off to the side. He mercilessly yells obscenities at the Ovies to get their attention. And indeed Twin 1 and Mary follow him in fits of giggles.
((Oooh…that gun’s gonna cost you… 0.o))
Bolted solidly to its swivel , and to the jeep itself, the gun mount refuses to budge. Amidst the chaos, the slightly chubby driver notices Flannery trying to steal his prized 50cal. “Hey PUNK! The f**k you doing!?” Big Manny shouts at Ellis as he points his pistol at him, “Not on my watch, foo!” He fires two shots at Flannery, one bullet whizzes just past his head and misses the pumps while the other hits him directly in the left shoulder! ((you decide whether the bullet grazes it or not, but Ellis does in fact get hit in the shoulder)). Twin 2 hears the shots and sees Flannery injured and goes toward him, holding out a hand in his direction. “I heal you okee~ ^_^” She chirps cutely with a wink. Her hands are within inches of Ellis, but she makes no effort to actually touch him. As if she was diplomatically offering her transformative touch in order to help him...or just tease him. =P

He starts driving down the road. "Look out for any of those girls... And tell me if you see any stores around here... I need to stock up on food." He says to Karen while driving slowly.
Karen sniggers at the sarcasm. “Alright,” She says. She checks the clip of her new rifle and starts loading it with rounds. “So where are you from?” Karen asks. “My boyfriend and I surfaced from a bunker upstate. He said his mom lived somewhere in this city, assuming she hadn’t been taken that is.” She grabbed several empty clips from the medium-sized ammo box and continued loading. Karen glances around for any Ovies, “My boyfriend gave me a crash-course in shooting shortly after the Ovalisks came.”
Mendi-chan wrote:"Jackpot..." Joe mutters under his breath as he takes as much as he can fit in the pouch of his large hoodie. One hand scurries across the shelving grabbing everything in sight, and the other keeps his weapon leveled down the aisle as to prevent a surprise attack. He had to hurry though, these things were setting something up and he wasn't about to fall for any old trap.
Joe sees three Ovies peeking down the aisle towards the front of the store at him. Eyes of the cat-eared Ovie glow yellow in the dark, a telltale sign of nightvision, this gives Joe an ominous vibe. The aisles are divided in half to create a shortcut between them. Two other Ovies take advantage of this to cover the other side without Joe seeing them in the dimly lit grocery store. Ambush imminent… >:3
