Riujin shoves the cloth back into his pocket. "relax Pete im not infected." he starts walking abit. "Its just Radiation damage, a little momento from the war." he looks at Pete scratching his shoulder. "if you want proof you can ask a doctor in Grafton for a consult." he pushs his glasses up his nose; smiling while he does. "god i didn't expect you to be so jumpy. now put that gun away before you hurt someone." he walks toward Grafton not really even paying attention to the gun anymore. still smiling at Pete over his shoulder. "if you dont hurry up the bar will close on us."

Pete puts his shotgun away, "you should really tell people that before you go caughing up blood and shit man...and hell yea im jumpy, well sometimes any ways.." pete says looking at riujin. Pete runs up beisde him and walks with him. "i mean i undertsand about radiation poisioning, but i thought that type of illness whent away after awhile, i guess you got a pretty heavy dose of radiation over there..." pete says while looking at riujin. "Sorry about that, but i cant tell ya how many people ive had tag-along with me and end up being infected, its not fun when i have to shoot em in the head, they all seem to be nice people, but they just don't know how to ttake car eof themselvs out here in The Great Nothing..." petes says looking towards the horizion and taking a drag of his cigar..."and your right we should hurry before the bar closes"... Grecton 1:30 P.M. Weather-Mostly Sunny/Current H:75[/i][/color] As Riu and Pete approach the poutter gate two guards stop them with uzi sub machine guns, "hold it...where you comin-...Holy shit! Mother fucking Buckshot man!! How the fuck are ya!" the guard says with a smile as he bro hugs pete "hey Marty hows it going? How are Tanya and the kids man?" pete asks with a smile, this was his old friend after alla dn a check-in aint so bad around these parts. "They're doing fine, Junos got sick last week with a slight cold but hes fine. But yea all in all we're doing fine my friend" Marty says with a smile, "What about you greg? Hows things?", the Greg turns around from the canteen filler and looks at Pete "Oh things are good, people come and go, we kill zombies and raiders from time to time, hell life around here has changed much sense your last visit" Greg says. "Well shit its good see ya again pete, you and your friend can go on in...",Pete smiles "thanks, and oh yea, my friend here has a lsight medical condition brought on by radiation poision from the war, not contagious so if you see him caugh up some blood dont be alarmed ok?" says smiling at his friend "got it". The two walk into the small walled settlement of what use to be a turck stop town, the truck stop itself now a general store with an old pre-war/infection truck infront of it with a guy under it working away at the underside. The houses and residents looking a bit better then what most see in the wastes. "Well my friend, this is it! Grecton! Nicest people, great drinks, and good deals." pete says streching out his arms. "whatcha think man? good rest stop or what?"

Riujin walks threw the gate with Pete, waving at the guards as he passes. "Hi." he walks with Pete the entire way not wanting to end up alone in this new setting. "thanks for covering my tail back there on the caughing blood subject, the blood isnt so much do to the radiation as it is the kidney damage from the radiation." He smiles for a second before wondering why sombody with kidney damage is so calm and uncaring about it. "i guess i just dont care cuz im a medic." He looks at Pete smiling again. "My bad thinking outlaud." when they get to the bar he holds the door open for pete then goes to sit with him at the bar, ordering a drink. "so Pete sence you know the area so well, how many days would you guess till N.I." he pays the bartender and takes a drink from his bottle.

pete sits down at the bar with Riu, "well...ive never been there before but, i have looked at the map and the way i see it...on foot...it should take atleast...a weeks travel, now theres a small abondoned car dealership up by Henderson, some people say the place is run by a bunch of mechanics who have acutally gotten a few of the cars working, now its a long shot but after he get to New Ina, Hnderson and only a 4 hour walk north east, but im not sure how many raiders,theifs,or zeds there are up there...but all in all...one week till N.I." Pete exsplains as he grabs his canteen and hands it to the bar tender "fill me up friend...", the bartender looks at him "you got it pete..." and walks away with his canteen. Truth was that pete wasn't so sure about any of this, really he had been wondering up untill Novac, that gave him some direction. But what he did know is that N.I. was east of here and that was the way he was heading, any side trips are purely for fun and hell out here, funs is someimtes in short supply.

Riu looks at him taking another drink. "they actualy got the cars running." he sits the bottle down and reachs into his pocket feeling around in them. "how much do you think getting one would run us." he looks at pete feeling the small wad of cash in his pocket. "Money isn't worth much these days but it should still be alot." he finishs his beer and sits the bottle on the counter, taking his scythe off his back and leaning it against a wall. "its nice to have that thing off my back." he smiles rubbing his shoulder before stretching. "maby we should have killed that raider might have had money to go to the car." Riujin laughs looking at pete jokingly.

The bartender returns with Pete's canteen, "here ya go pete, on the house my friend, welcome back" the bartender says with a smile, "heh, thanks mike...and yea, they got em running, well atleast thats what i herd." Pete says taking a drink of water from the canteen. "Now hold up...i never said anything about BUYING the car...i just thought about...well...BARROWING it for awhile and then we would return it after we're done using it, i mean c'mon they have more right? im sure they wouldn't mind.."Pete says with a grin looking at Ruijin. "Yea man im sure it is, thing looks heavy as hell, why would you carry around a blade that fuckin big man? Call me a simpleton but i just dont get what you compencating for man..." Pete says with a chuckle.

He looks up. "im not compencating for anything." he smiles. " i have nothing to compencate for, that stariotype about asians." he holds his hand up with a small gap between his thumb and fingers. "not true, for me at least." he laughs smacking hte side of the blade. "nah this just cuts thew the body like a steak knife threw melted butter." He looks at the bartender. "not that i want to work you to death, but can you get me a shot of your strongest alchohal." he takes his syringe out of its holster and sits it on his lap.

The bartender looks up at him from wiping down a glass, "no worries. The strongest stuff eh? Ooook then..". Pete laughs at Riujin's respons to his joke."Well then if it dose that i hate to be the zed or raider on the other end of that shit..." pete says as he take another drink from his canteen. The bartender returns with a shot glass of the strongest liquor they have at the bar, "here ya go, king cobra whisky, this shit could peel the paint off a battleship...have fun..." he sits the glass down infront of Ruijin. "So whatcha gonna do with that? drink it? save it for another injection?" Pete ask looking at the syring on riu's lap....

Riujin picked up his syringe. "I'm using the Alcohol to sterilize the needle, I'm a doctor and this is the only one i have." he smiles filling his needle with the drink and shaking it around. he hands the bartender money for the drink before putting the needle back in its holster; planning to dump the liquid out on the ground later. "ill probably dump it out after we leave so a dog doesn't drink it and change." he smiles at Pete leaning back on his stool. "so any perticular kind of car you want to "Borrow""

Pete grinned, "well i was thinkin a SUV, like a Hummer, Tahoe, or a Suburban...but really we just need something with wheels...SUV in these times are valuable. i got a friend in Mission Hill who owns a custom fitting shop, he could probally get us some mouts and maybe even a small M204 SAW mount on top..." Pete knew that the his friend was reliable and had remembered him doing a cutom fitting job on a crew of blazers back in denver, fitting them with weapon mounts and small machine gun turrets, his buddy knew his stuff and sense he was basically family would give him a good deal on it. Pete pays the barentder the 10 for his refill and a 5 for Riujin beer. "here ya go mike...keep yourself safe okay?" pete says as he gets up and walks to the door with his shotgun slung over his back, "lets get moving man, New Ina is a good 4 hours from here and we need to get there before dark..." pete says walking out the doors of the bar. HW-15 Heading to New Ina 2:00 P.M. Weather: Sunny/Current Temp:70[/i][/color] The air was still, the only sound that could be herd was occasional bird over head. The Great 15 had been well known for its scilence, so much so it made some people crazy...Guess thats what happens when you leave man alone with his thoughts. "Ok so...more getting to know each other...answer these questions ok?Favorite music, favorite food, favorite place to hang out, favorite method of execution, favorite quote[/i]"[/color] Pete thought that asking each toehr questions would keep their minds off the trip ahead of them and migth even prove entertaining, thought pete really didn't care about the answers all he wanted to do was get a nice soft bed and a good meal in his stomache...

Riu walks next to pete. "mkay getting to know each other sounds good. lets see, I like Rock music, some emo if i need a smile." he grins looking at the ground as he walks. " my favorite food it Taryaki chicken, I usually just hang out in Neo-tokyo.; and as for my favorite form of execution." he pats the scythe over his shoulder. "what do you think this is good for other than decapitation." he laughs quietly before closing his eyes as he walks happy that it is getting cooler as the day goes on. " my favorite quote, wold have to be from an old bookwriter, Tucker Max " I'm gonna hit that so hard, the person that pulls it out will become the next king of England." he laughs looking at his friend. "how about you Pete."
He takes his syringe out and removes the plunger, dumping the now red alcohol on the ground before putting it back together and away. "i think that quote goes better for either a man whore, or a guy with a baseball bat."

Pete lit another cigar and took a short puff "well...me then huh? ok then, i like mostly Classic Rock, y'know AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Boston, that kind of stuff. Favorite food woul dhave to be...well...hmm..i had these really good tacos out near Mesa a few years back, so id have to say anything spicey or hot. Place to hang out? well, id have to say nice looking motel on the road heh heh..." "and method of exectution..." Pete ponders this for a minute decieding which one of his kills to exsplain..."hmm well...there was this one time when i had found a shpened metal spike about...hmmm 2 feet long? This was before i had kid here" he pats his bat and looks at riujin," this fucking zed was running at me right? And i impaled him through the chest andid this cool spin using the enegery from the thrust and grabbed ol'blazer here and blew his head clean off, i was a very creative wasteland walked back then..." Pete grinned from ear tyo ear just picturing the the kill in his mind how the brain matter his the stop sign behind the zed and the gust of air that he felt replace the space where the zombie's head had been. "and the quote... well id have to say this one by Anothony Robbins: “You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of your true vision to create and contribute. It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you that knows / and has always known / that we are more than our environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival.â€

"who shit man, you went all deep and intelectual on me there." riu laughs to himself wondering how far they had until New Ina. thinking back to his favorite method of execution. "you look like you enjoyed killing that zombie. maby you will get to show me sometime." he closes his eyes and walks to the other side of him, dodging the smoke from his cigar. his scythe starts ro run low on his back dragging a line of dirt into the ground. Riujin cickes the handle of the scythe pushing it back up. "Hope nobody is following up, how long until New Ina would you say."

"Heh yea, i know, that was our Division's quote and ill never forget it. Cause thats where we were, in the middle of a war, all the humanity in people died when the war started and then dropped off and got worse when the virus spred...we were the only civil protection group left in denver...and we held out untill the clean-up..." Pete says looking at the groud and taking a drag of his cigar. "I dont think its much further, no more then...another hour or two, dont worry man we'll get there, i wish we had a vehicle, life would be easier, heh." Pete was very optimistic but still, the wasteland had given him a slightly twisted version of it, yea they would get there soon, but pete didn't know if they would be killed or not, but some what hoped for the best, but then again...maybe not. 20 Miles outside of New Ina 4:25 P.M. Wether: Clear skies/Current temp:63[/i][/color] After about three hours of walking, Pete and Rui rest inside an old wrecked truck, pete faceing out of the cab and ruijin sitting on the side of the bed. "man...looks like the sun is starting to set, but that couldn't be right cause the guy back in Novac said the sun set would be around 7:30...hmmm..." Pete said looking at the horizion. The road to New Ina was a long on for any body looking for a decent place of refuge or business. "damn...this has been one helluva day man.." No sooner dose pete finsih his sentense a group of 4 raiders approach.."HEY! BITCH! Yea you! the fuck are you ding out here?! this is fucking hijinx groud, you dont belong here!" the raider yelled with pointing a baseball bat towards the two...Riu has asked to see the kill again, well he was about to....

Not far from the truck, an old half burned down oak tree stood. It was a wonder that it was still standing after all that time and through as many wars that it had seen. There were still some sturdy branches big enough for a human to lay one, even one with as many guns that Lily had. She laid on one of the branches out of sit of anyone just in case any raiders came by to try and snag her in her sleep.
She lay as she was,trying to get some shuck eye after walking so far to meet up with this man that was coming in to help with supplies for the city. New Independence really didn't need her then, there were plenty of guards there to keep the infected out and enough water for a about a month, but she at least could have tried to let him know of her coming out to greet him, even if it was this far out and away from her post. The first bit of noise she heard was some men talking so she ignored it. She really got annoyed when the raiders started spouting as loudly as they did. Moving her hat out of her eyes, she looked over and saw the two men setting on a truck and then smiled when she saw their "friends" surrounding them. She glared, spitting a curse at the raiders.
At this time, she sat up and took her sniper off her back, positioning it and looked through the lens of her scope, aiming at the raider that had spoken first. Smirking, she switched off the safety and squeezed the trigger. The raider fell and all the others started to react. She shot them all, one by one, and as the last one fell, she smiled. She still had it. She switched the safety back on and returned Slinger to her back. jumping down from the branch, she made her way to the truck, The Girls on a belt around her waist. "Evening, boys. You sure are far out." She stopped a few feet from the truck and placed her hands on her hips. "Are either of you Riujin Sato by any chance?" She smiled then, ignoring the dead bodies of the raiders at her feet.
