WELCOME TO MY WORLD, IC: Nereid :||: ISO: Jet-Tats

[Greek]

My home is far away. So far away.

The rivers were her sanctuary. The monsters of land and sky could not reach her once she sunk down to the bottom of the river. Even the creatures that called the river home could not catch her. As a swimmer, none matched her. For hours, even days, she could swim non-stop. If she could she would swim forever and ever but she was mortal, and she got hungry. And the more she swam the faster she got hungry. Trips to the land were a must.

The water felt good, though, like the waters of her home planet. And it was more necessary for her then others because without the water she would die; shriveled up, suffocated. Still, the land was pretty in its own way, and her trips into the forests were nice most times. So, in a way, Nereid liked her time out of the water. At her pond she spent as much time on land as she did in the water, because there were nice flowers around her pond.

Nereid came out the water, dripping wet, and her fingers and toes wrinkled from her long swim. She laughed and rubbed her the undersides of her thumbs and fingers together. How strange it was that her skin did that!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Light flashed to her left and Nereid knew it was the sound of a gun. She turned to retreat back into the river; a raider in black armor rushed up to her. She couldn't get around him, and fumbled back, bullets whizzing past her. One bullet grazed the back of her shin, but she hardly felt it. The other raider was bearing down on her with a long stick that was thick at the top. No choice left but to fight she braced herself for impact.

And planned her counter-attack.

(Posted Image) Outfit JUNE 14, 2291 Some time in the day Mood: Search-Searchy Tag: Nereid ----------------- The lands that made up Montana were still very fascinating and new to him. Probably because there was so much green everywhere. And trees. And perfectly blue skies. And water, everywhere! He wasn't sure if the rivers here were still a part of the Colorado River or not, but there was a lot of them! So strange it was to him, to have green and blue everywhere. It simply boggled his mind! And Jet-Tats was proud to say he had a fantastic mind. But sadly, that mind was stuck in a region full of sand and dirt and among really dirty that had terrible, terrible attitudes a lot of the time. Then again, he really sorta did miss hanging around the South Vegas ruins with his former Fiends. They were practically his family after all! And even they would be amazed by the great, great trees that towered above him. Hell, a Joshua tree would tremble in its roots at the sight of these monsters. Jet-Tats could remember being afraid of them when he first came to this land, he thought they were mutant trees! But no, pine and oak trees were supposed to be this tall, silly him! Plus, among the trees were plenty of good plants to find that could be turned into excellent medicine. Actual, healing medicine, not hallucinogenic drugs that he used to be famous for making. And while the temptation of making something akin to Jet or Pshyco was great, he resisted partaking in such endeavors to create more helpful things to the body, ran than destructive. But so far, no luck, he simply could not find the plant he was looking for! This just couldn't be right, it had to be around here somewhere! Oh dear oh my, he couldn't just turn around now and go home empty-handed! He had to find that plant, his medicinal research depended on it! Bang, bang, bang, bang! Well that didn't sound good! The former Fiend froze, expecting more shots to be fired, but none came right away. At least, not at him! He was being shot at. Huh. Well if he wasn't who was? Insanely curious, Jet-Tats pulled his Laser Rifle off his back and crept through the trees until he found the source. He hadn't realized he had been this close to the river, but now he knew and he also knew trouble was afoot! Three people, a woman, two men. The girl, ah the poor dear, having to defend herself from two, nasty raiders! Well, Jet-Tats would have none of that! He was standing right here after all! So he took aim and fired a few shots at the raider with the stick in his hand. Pyewsh, pyewsh, pyewsh The raider let out a cry of pain and whirled around to see who was shooting at him. Perfect.

My home is far away. So far away.

Nereid was ready for the hit. It'll hurt, but she'll have to push through the pain and punch right- three green bolts of light struck the raider. The force of the blast forced him to cancel his attack. Angry, the raider searched for his attacker.

What? Nereid thought, confused. How did...?

Nereid quickly did a three-sixty of the area, was there someone else near by? Someone had decided to help her? Oh, how lucky! One against two wasn't exactly fair, especially when one had a gun and she was unarmed... but not for long!

She lunged forward and wrestled the stick weapon from the distracted raider. There was another bang and in the split second after the shot her shoulder burned with pain. The other raider moved to take back his weapon but she gritted her teeth, took the stick and bashed it against the side of his head with all her strength. Blood and gore went flying as the headless body of the raider collapsed to the ground in a heap.

There was a series of bangs but she was not hit. She dropped the stick to put pressure on her bleeding right shoulder. The raider with the gun was firing at the person that came to save her!

(Posted Image) Outfit JUNE 14, 2291 Some time in the day Mood: Helpy-Helpy Tag: Nereid ----------------- Ohhhhhhhhhhhh no! Being shot at was baaaaaad, so very very baaaaad. You'd think Jet-Tats would be used to it, considering where he grew up and all, but nope, it was never any fun to be shot at, nope! The former Fiend let out a squeak of surprise and fired back at the raider shooting at him. Red blots shot out, some missing, some creating new burn spots on the raider's body. One managed to hit the neck, but not enough to decapitate him. The raider paused long enough to clench at the wound in pain, and Jet-Tats quickly reloaded his rifle, taking the empty cell pack out and replacing it with a new one. He took aim again just in time for a loud BANG to get him in the leg. The leg buckled beneath him and Jet-Tats tumbled to the ground, his pants blossoming with blood. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit.

There! By the tress! It was the man that had come to her aid! Nereid smiled, so thankful help had come. Then, she saw him fall. Blood gushing from his leg. Her smile fell and she watched in horror as he hit the ground, and the remaining raider rushed forward to finish him off. "Nooooooo!" She shouted and ran forward, the stick weapon dropped and forgotten about.

I have to help him! She pushed forward with all her might. The pain in her shin hardly fazed her as she ran and ran and ran and tacked the raider from behind. He had heard her coming and tried to turn around to shoot her, but it was too late. Nereid wrestled the gun from him and tossed it aside. The raider took his chance and slugged her across the face. The wound smarted, but it was not enough to knock her off him for her grip was strong and in moment she had him pinned.

The raider struggled and shouted all sorts of bad words and threats. Some threats she didn't understand, but would rather not find out what they were. Nereid wouldn't let him go, not so he could hurt her new friend more!
