Arsonist walked into the kitchen to see marksman sitting at the counter, talking with Annihilator. Arsonist decided to join into their conversation.

Arsonist: Greetings Marksman, and Annihilator.
Marksman: hey fella, how do you? Annihilator and I were planning on visiting the nearby town to grab a a drink.

Arsonist: That sounds great, may I have the pleasure of joining your group? I need to buy something.

Annihilator: Sure, lad! I don't see why not

Marksman and Annihilator with Arsonist in tow, hopped onto a van the RED team owned.

After a couple minutes of driving they made it to the small town of Griffonville.

Marksman and Annihilator went off to the bar, while Arsonist went to the quaint little grocery store nearby.

The sign said "Ducky Groceries" the logo featured a duck with a green apron. As Arsonist entered the store, a bell chimed and Arsonist saw a large amount of flower bouquets. Despite their beauty, he knew he needed to focus on his main task.

Arsonist went to the produce section and scanned the area till he found it. Cayenne peppers, he checked the price, it was only $4 for a pack of 20. Arsonist grabbed the peppers, pulled out his money, and got into the line for the only open register.

As time passed, the line grew shorter and shorter, and arsonist got closer and closer to the checkout. Soon it was time for Arsonist to check out, and as Arsonist placed down his peppers and  gave his money to the cashier, he noticed that she along with the customer in the line had all given him a weird look at least once.

Arsonist thought this would be a great opportunity to socialize and improve his social skills and began attempting to befriend the cashier.

Arsonist: Greetings

The cashier looked at him with her blue eyes. She had orange hair. A green apron and hat, probably a work uniform.

Cashier: uhm, hello? Do you want plastic or paper bag?

Arsonist: may I say, that the weather looks marvelous.

The cashier looks out the window, and looks back at Arsonist with confusion on her face.

Cashier: It's night...

Arsonist decided that a compliment should be deployed in order to disengage the awkwardness.

Arsonist: have I mentioned that your beauty is as bright as a fireflies light?

Cashier: Are you hitting on me?
Arsonist: No Ma'am I am not assaulting you for if I had the police would have already been called.

At this point the cashier has had enough of Arsonist, and simply asked him to leave. As he was exiting the grocery store, he wondered why that conversation went off track so fast.
