((Hmm, Well, they should probably be around the gas station somewhere, so maybe they’re picking up supplies or something??))

(Ok :D I'll jump in right now then)
Manic Panic stuck her out out of the dumpster and cursed. Yeah, dumpster diving was a thing Manic did quite often. You wouldn’t believe the great stuff people threw away! Her current loot included some unused detonators, some battery’s, and a BLI issued blaster. Totally a score in her book. However, when she climbed in, there weren’t people around. Now she heard voices surrounding the station. Her fears instantly jumped to assume that the Draculoids had found her, but a few seconds later she realized there wouldn’t be voices if there were dracs. Pulling her goggles up into her hair, she swung herself over the side of the dumpster, and walked around to the front of the gas station, hoping to stay fairly unnoticed with her armload of explosives.
((Okie dokie!!))
(The car looks like this but more beat up: https://carancestry.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/camaro-6.jpg)
Flint grinned as he drove down the road in and old Chevy camaro, his sister hanging halfway out of the window. She was singing a song loudly but he could barely hear it. A gas station came into view quickly and he slowed down a little, causing Spark to glare at him for a moment before grinning. "A quick supply stop and them we're out, ok Spark?" He asked his sister, tugging on her jacket to get her back in the car.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I just need supplies for my explosives. You get food or whatever." She waved a hand at him and stuck her body back out the window, letting her hair whip behind her as she silently yelled at Flint for not letting her sit on the roof of the car as he drove.
Constantly glancing around herself, Manic found a place next to one of the gas pumps, and kneeled down, and began to pack the detonators away in her backpack. She quietly hummed to herself, and took inventory of her weapons. After counting them up, she figured it would be enough for now. She stood up and pulled the backpack back on, and strapped the new blaster gun to her belt, along with a few grenades. Making sure everything was set, she began to walk out towards the road, silently trying to figure out where to go now.
Spark saw a girl walking towards the road and she kicked Flint with her foot "Flint!" He glanced over at her and stopped quickly, spinning the car sideways so he wouldn't hit the girl. Spark grinned and hopped out of the car through the window. "Hi!" She said, jogging up to her and grinning happily.
Flint grumbled something under his breath about his sister before shutting the car off and getting out the normal way. He tossed the keys to Spark and she caught them as he walked towards the gas station, ignoring the other people that were there.
Manic quickly looked up to see a car swerve, and then a girl rush out of the car and jog over in her direction. Stopping, Manic smiled back at the stranger before quietly saying, “Hey.” She looked over the girl, and deemed her to not be very dangerous, then asked, “Who are you?” She cocked her head to the side, almost having the look of a confused dog.
'Oh, I'm Spark. You seemed like someone to talk to so I'm going to talk to you." She stuck out her hand and smiled, bouncing on her toes and running a hand through her hair. "What's your name?"
Flint glanced at his sister and sighed, shaking his head. He chuckled "How can she could go up to someone like that and start talking?" He asked himself, walking into the store and grabbing the few things that he needed.
“Oh, alrighty! Well, nice to meet you Spark! I’m Manic Panic, but I just go by Manic.” She smiled even bigger and shook her hand. After she lost Muted, she really didn’t have much contact with other people. Any friendly interactions were really appreciated by her. Moving the end of her bangs out of her face, she asked, “What brings you around here? Sweet car by the way-“ her eyes roamed over it, appreciating the model. In fact, her brother used to drive one similar to it. She looked back to Spark.
((OOf, I kinda think it’d be interesting if Reck and Flint started to talk, but she’s in the middle of a conversation already so idk what to do screeeeeee))
(I can have Flint come back out :))
Spark smiled and glanced at the car "Thanks, it's my brother's. He's obsessed with fixing cars and stuff. We just came by for supplies, I need to get some things for my bombs and Flint insists that we need food.." She trailed off and grinned "Do you like explosives?"
((Okie dokie, whatever you would like to do ^^ I just want to try and get everyone involved, and I just think they would get along well))
Manic gave her a smile, and said, “That’s really cool! My brother had an obsession with cars too. And YES!” She almost shouted the last part, getting excited. “Explosives are the best kind of weapons!! Not to mention they’re fun to make!” She bounced on the balls of her feet. “I actually have some detonators and handmade time bombs in my bag right now.” She grinned, in an almost proud way.
"Lucky…" Spark said with a groan, "I have to go find supplies right now." She saw Flint exit the store with food in his arms and she smiled tossing him the keys so he could unlock the car. She turned back to Maniac and grinned "Explosives are the best!"
Flint caught the keys and unlocked the car, tossing the food in quickly before walking over to Spark and leaning on her shoulder. She immediately punched him in the gut and he laughed, messing up her hair. "Good to see you too Spark. Who's your friend?" He smiled at Maniac and then looked at Spark.
"Yeah, these are hard times." Ace kicked a rock that was under her foot. "I've been alone for a while, so it's nice to have someone to talk to." A smile spread across her face. For all she knew Ace was and only child, she never knew her parents and grow up in an older couple's house. But they were attacked and she has been on the run since. "If I see him I'll be sure to tell you. How long have you been looking for him?"

"If I see him I'll be sure to tell you. How long have you been looking for him?"
"I'm sorry that you've been on your own too- it's really too bad how many people are being left like that lately.." She trailed off, then replied to Ace's question, "Oh, about, maybe three weeks now? I can't be sure… It's just seemed like forever.. We grew up together, and I've spent every day of my life with him until now…. I shouldn't have let him go out by himself," Reck started to ramble, worry starting to seep back into her voice. She was constantly blaming herself for Cheer's disappearance. It was easier to blame herself than to face the facts.
"Lucky…" Spark said with a groan, "I have to go find supplies right now." She saw Flint exit the store with food in his arms and she smiled tossing him the keys so he could unlock the car. She turned back to Maniac and grinned "Explosives are the best!"

Manic ran a hand through her hair, and said, "If you're tight on money and need supplies, I highly recommend trash cans… Seriously, for us being in an economic crisis, people throw away the greatest things!!" She bounced up and down on her feet, constantly fidgety. Manic looked up at the person who walked up behind Spark. She assumed he was her older brother, or friend or some sort of acquaintance from how close they seemed. Manic gave a small smile at the stranger and said in a more quiet tone, "I'm Manic… You?"
"I'm Flint, Sparks older brother." Flint grinned and looked at Maniac.
Spark glared at him "Only by a few minutes," She looked back at Maniac and nodded "Trash cans…I'll remember that." She kicked Flint's shin and he messed with her hair again, laughing happily. Spark grinned and stepped away from her brother, causing him to stumble to the side before catching himself.
“Nice to meet you Flint!” Manic forced a smile to her face. Her spirit dropped as she saw the way they were acting. It all too much reminded her of the way her own brother had acted with her. Manic fidgeted with her belt, trying to make her appearance still seem normal as her insides were crumbling apart.
Spark frowned when Manic started to look sad. She elbowed Flint in the side and he looked at Manic, nodding and clearing his throat quickly. "Sorry if Spark is acting like a child," He said, his mouth twitching into a grin as Spark stepped on his foot, glaring at him. He pushed her away lightly and she sighed, sitting on the ground and crossing her arms.
Manic quickly looked up and assured, “No no no! Don’t worry about it- neither of you guys have done anything wrong! It’s just, oh, it’s nothing.” She forced a sad smile, then shook her head, hoping they would just ignore it.
"What is it?" Spark asked, standing up and placing a tentative hand on Manic's shoulder. SHe gave her a light smile and glanced at Flint, motioning for him to be quiet. He didn't listen and instead walked closer to Manic and Spark, nodding, "You can tell us if you want."
(Hey, so I think I'm going to drop out of this one, sorry.)
Manic rubbed slightly at her eyes, finding herself dangerously close to crying in front of some strangers. “Oh, it’s really nothing.. It’s just that you two remind me of how me and my brother used to act, that’s all.” She blinked a few times, trying to force her feelings down back into the pit where she kept them locked away.
((Oh, alrighty!! That’s okay!! Thank you for joining anyway!!!!
If anyone wants to help me figure out what to do with Reck now that would be much appreciated lol))
