Dave ignored Jacob's friendly face, but rounded on him, rather annoyed.
"Jacob, now just what the hell were you doin'? You coulda gotten yerself killed for god sakes. Samantha was nuttier than a Wasteland salad, and you walk up ta her and play 'er a song? Boy, yer lovey dovey crap is gonna get yerself killed one 'o these days. You was more'n happy ta point yer gun at me first time we met, but someone you know id dangerous yer just gonna treat like yer best friend? Ah don't get you man. Ah gotta cool down, ah'll see ya at camp later."
Dave strode off, towards the small wooden docks. He was pissed off, not because of Jacob getting in the way or anything, but because one of his friends had just thrown himself into something that could have killed him. Dave did that every time he entered a gang's hideout, but he was a skilled fighter. Jacob was not. Dave now felt he had to keep an eye on the man, make sure he didn't do something else stupid.
Dave arrived at the dock, and walked along it's edge. It was almost night, and the sunset turned the water into liquid gold. Dave had never really cared about water, but right now it was the only thing that mattered. It was so beautiful. He took of his hat, and let it drift to the floor. He felt the cool evening breeze through his hair, and smelt the slat of the water. He suddenly felt incredibly hot. He rarely look of his clothes, in case someone saw his scars, but now it didn't matter. He let his heavy duster slip from his shoulders, to land in a crumpled pile behind him. He pulled the black sweater he wore underneath over his head, and felt twenty pounds lighter. The t-shirt he wore under that was a little big for him, and the light breeze slipped under it, tickling his chest and flapping the hem around. He lost the t-shirt as well, allowing his skin to feel the outside world for the first time in months. His scars weren't important, people weren't important, all there was in his world was the setting sun, the wind and the smell of salt.
Dave's scars were little more than thin white lines on his body, they being so old. Each was anatomically straight, sometimes they criss-crossed each other, making perfect ninety-degree angles and squares. They covered his chest and back, turning his torso into a pair of living chessboards. On his arms, they went from his shoulder, following the bones of his arms, with more, smaller scars around his elbows and wrists. Dave just stood there, still and as silent as a statue, breathing regularly and living for a few moments in a world of tranquility and peace.

When he was reading the Book Marylin was laying next to her cuddling and such he was a happy man, his book, his lady by his side, and all his friends around him. it was getting dark so he could only read the first pair of papers of the book. when he layed it next to him Marylin asked him a question
"What's the book about baby?
he grabbed her around her waist and layed his head in her neck while wispering to her
Ah bout two mon who traveled Dis place before men was here. Thats all i know fah now. Hey deh is liam!
but Jacob already that he was not so happy, and before he knew he had a fist on his face. Jacob was annoyed but not angry he listened to what he had to say and then he bursted out in laughing about it
"I gave you my trust, and you return it by playing love songs to the enemy? Betrayal isn't treated kindly, Jacob."
He saw that Liam was still angry so he became serious again he just shaked his head while sitting down again. his nose hurted a bit so he started rolling and smoking anoter healing powder joint while explaining things to Liam
Look yuh silly soldia mon, I did dat fi di holy book i gat. Your sista inna mi ongle princess inna dis whole wide world. Now relax an smoke wid mi mon
he then started to cuddle again with Marilyn and gave no attention to Liam anymore, When he was done smoking his Joint he trew it away and slept till the early morning,
Ray on the otherhand saw that there was an fight starting between Liam and Jacob and left without saying anything and gone for a stroll, after an hour he came back and went to sleep aswell.

Liam stood back from Jacob, and knew that he had done wrong. He had been assured that when his sister rose up and started hitting him. He just took it, and then let her walk away. Liam sat next to Jacob.
"I miss Momma. I wasn't there. I was never there. It was all Marilyn."
Marilyn walked back to Cottonwood Cove, where she last saw Dave. She saw him along the docks, shirtless. She wondered why he was shirtless, and went to approach him, when she noticed the scars.
"Those scars.....they aren't normal. What happened, Dave?"
She stood near him, but didn't want to touch him, as she didn't want to invade his personal space. She did have a close inspection of those scars though, symmetrical. Strange.

"Those scars.....they aren't normal. What happened, Dave?"
Dave whipped around to see Marilyn staring at him. Not at him, his scars. He knelt down and snatched his t-shirt, stepping away from her and yanking it over his head as quickly as he could, getting his head stuck in the arm hole, he struggled desperately to hide his secret.
"Fuck Marilyn! Didn't yer momma tell you not ta sneak up on folk like that?" Dave had his t0-shirt on properly now, and he was wrestling with his sweater. He was babbling, desperate for Marilyn to not be there. He had been careful all his life, but now one stupid slip-up and he'll have to tell a group of people he barely even knew. This day was the worst of his life since he had escaped that house.
"They aren't normal...'o course their normal! You...you soft in the head girl, spent too much time singin', a-and not out here, gettin' scars like this. How I gottem is none 'o yer business now missy, ah been nothin' but polite to you, and yer brother. So you turn around and ask a man a question like that? Ain' you got no manners?"
He put his duster on, and slapped his hat firmly on his head. He breathed deeply, and tried a weak smile.
"Now how 'bout we just forget about this whole thing, huh? Mah....well, ya know...it ain't somethin' you got ta worry yerself about, okay? Lets head back, ah'm gettin' hungry."
Dave strode past her, he couldn't look the girl in the eye. He just had to pray she wouldn't bring it up.

Jacob was about to fall asleep when Liam opened up to him about his life, so he sat straight again and listened verry good to what Liam had to say, playing with his dreads while listening, twirling them around his finger and nodding while he spoke
"I miss Momma. I wasn't there. I was never there. It was all Marilyn."
he moved himself a bit closer to Liam and put both his arms around him, sort of hugging, but more clumsy. When he let go he stood up and pulled Liam up, layed one hand around his shoulder and while he spoke he moved his hand from left to right across the horrizon
Dohn tan inna di past, Acknowledge your sin an try to mek tommorow a brighta day. Now tell mi wah happend wid your madda, wait dis might help a bit
he let go of Liam and sneaked to Mr Coltrane, who left a half bottle of whiskey next to his bed roll he took it and gave it to Liam sat down and Listened to Liam when he was Rolling another joint for himself.
Ray was doing his nighttime stroll and watched the stars, when he saw Dave and Marilyin walk togheter 'what they been up to so late toghetter?' he asked himself so he walked out of the shadows into the bright moonlight and out of nowhere he layed his hands of Marilyn's and Dave's Shoulder and spoke in a stern voice
what you two been upto? its late, lets go back to camp and you explain all what you did to everybody
he didn't let go of them but with those hand he Dirrected them towards camp, what still would be a long walk, but while walking he remained silent until they arrived

"Dohn tan inna di past, Acknowledge your sin an try to mek tommorow a brighta day. Now tell mi wah happend wid your madda, wait dis might help a bit"
Liam observed as the man grabbed a bottle of whiskey, and handed it to Liam, now, Liam wasn't too large of a drinker, not anymore, anyway, but he supposed this'd calm him down a little bit. He popped the top off of it, and took a swig.
"You want some?"
Liam pointed the bottle at Jacob, and continued with his story.
"Well, I'm an NCR boy. Corporal Liam Richardson, I wasn't part of anything special, like First Recon, or them armored fuckers, I was just a simple soldier, yanno? I shot guys because I was told to. I loved that life man, I pretty much abandoned my slowly dying mother, and Marilyn. I didn't mean to, but I always sent them money, not that Marilyn needed it, it was mostly for momma. I was at the funeral, but I looked like a black sheep, none of them knew me. I afterwards cut all contact with the outside, left the NCR, and left into the Wastes. Yesterday was the first time Marilyn had seen me in years."
Liam took another swig of the whiskey, and sat it on the ground.
"Fuck Marilyn! Didn't yer momma tell you not ta sneak up on folk like that?"
Marilyn stood back a little, in truth, she jumped. She was quite startled by his aggressive response.
"I'm sorry Dave, I had gone for a stroll."
"They aren't normal...'o course their normal! You...you soft in the head girl, spent too much time singin', a-and not out here, gettin' scars like this. How I gottem is none 'o yer business now missy, ah been nothin' but polite to you, and yer brother. So you turn around and ask a man a question like that? Ain' you got no manners?"
Marilyn was a little offended, but she didn't want to scare Dave any further, these scars seemed a touchy matter, perhaps alcohol would help him speak more freely?
"Hey! They looked strange to me! I had to ask."
"Now how 'bout we just forget about this whole thing, huh? Mah....well, ya know...it ain't somethin' you got ta worry yerself about, okay? Lets head back, ah'm gettin' hungry."
"I hear you, Dave. I won't speak of it to anyone."
Marilyn jumped and shrieked when she was grabbed by Ray. She pulled a gun on him, and upon noticing it was Ray, she placed it back in her holster.
"what you two been upto? its late, lets go back to camp and you explain all what you did to everybody"
"Coincidentally, we went for a stroll, we ran into eachother."
In the shadows, an unknown force observed the group. It had been doing so since nightfall, where it hunted well. The creature slowly walked into the camp, and spoke while none of them could see it. It spoke in a demonic voice, as it naturally didn't have vocal cords.
"Stay your arms, humans. I mean you no harm, please do not be alerted."
Nero stood there, at a distance so he didn't alert anyone.

Dave was already nervous and incredibly unhappy from his previous conversation with Marilyn, which made him jumpy. When Ray grabbed his shoulder, he span around, shoved him and placed his revolver against the mans neck. He froze in this position for a few seconds, before relaxing, returning his gun to it's holster and chuckling nervously.
"What is it with folk an' sneakin' up own me tonight?"
He shook his head violently from side to side, and strode off. He ignored Jacob, Coltrane and Liam completely, collapsing next his pack and rummaging around. He found a large bottle of whiskey and drank deeply. The liquid dribbled down his chin and he wiped it away, coughing as the whiskey burned it's way down his throat. He lit a cigarette and smoked it down to the filter in two very long pulls, before lighting another.
"God fuckin' dammit" He thought. "Ah gotta get outta here 'afore Marilyn starts yappin'!"
Dave prepared to make some excuse for leaving into the inky blackness of night outside of their circle of light, when a deep, monotonous voice boomed out of the nothingness.
"Stay your arms, humans. I mean you no harm, please do not be alerted."
Dave had had enough surprises for one night, he pulled his revolver and fired at the direction the voice had come from. He head a sharp yowl of pain. Recognising the noise, Dave's eyes widened in fear.
"Fucking deathclaw! Everybody get the hell outta here!"

When Liam asked in Jacob wanted some whiskey he declined he continued to listen, even when Ray Dave and Marylin entered camp
and just after Liam was done talking he heared some voice, not Human but a voice.
"Stay your arms, humans. I mean you no harm, please do not be alerted."
Jacob was not alerted or scared at all but before he could stand up to meet this intresting creature he heared a gunshot and Dave yelling things
"Fucking deathclaw! Everybody get the hell outta here!"
He was still sitting next to Liam and Liam could grab his rifle Jacob looked him in the eye's and shook his head. While doing this he whispered to Liam
Trust mi, I would neva hurt Marilyn or let anyone else hurt har.
he then grabbed both his Hands in his own and started to pray with Liam but before doing this he looked at Ray and nodded to Dave. Ray understood this and while Jacob said this prayer dave took action
Yuh resist nah evil, Whoeva shall smite they, Shall has to face di almighty, Yuh nuffi fraid of di dark becah jah provide us di light
While Jacob said this Ray ran towards Dave and took a dive at his legs, Hoping to tackle him so Jacob could speak with this intresting creature and learn more of this strange world. he just hoped that this would'nt go the same way as with the Tree-man, but that he could only hope for and he had to wait and see how things would develop

Nero growled at Dave, and considered walking over and killing the fool, but he was intrigued by the strange accent that originated from one of the tents. He had not heard this particular dialog before, but he could roughly understand it, and walked over to this tent. He would have peeked inside it, but it would be quite a strain on his now wounded leg. He instead spoke to the tent.
"A religious man. I would speak with you."
The reaction from this group was one he had never seen before, all he had seen had either tried to kill him, or run away from him. These ones stayed. Maybe it was because he was talking to them, maybe they had a rather open mind, whatever it was, he wished more people would do it.
Liam looked at Jacob, and had a wave of trust roll over him, he removed his hand from the rifle, and joined him in prayer. He had no idea what he would pray about, but he just stayed quiet and listened to the word of Jacob.

Lizzie walked through the border gate from Utah into the Mojave outpost.It wasn't that big and was quaint enough so she figured she would rest here for the night. After asking a soldier where the barracks are, Lizzie strolled into the building and sat down at the bar, propping her rifle against the counter. "Whiskey." she said, placing a couple of caps on the counter and taking out a cigarette, only to find that she didn't have anything to light it with? As the bartender poured the whisky into a dusty glass cup she asked "Got a light?". The bartender looked at her and said "If you've got 5 caps, I got a whole matchbox." Lizzie, getting his drift, dropped 5 caps on the counter and took a matchbox. Lighting the cigarette and taking a sip of whiskey, Lizzie inquired about work. "Here." said the bartender sliding a bounty paper towards her, "Last guy that took the job didn't finish it?" "Killed?" asked Lizzie. "Hell if I know, he never came back." replied the bartender. Lizzie finished off her whiskey, and left.
Exiting the building, Lizzie slung the strap of the rifle on her shoulder and looked down at the bounty paper, it was for some guy named Ray, apparently wanted for all kinds of shit. Pocketing the paper, she set out down the road. If she could find him during the cover of night this would be a piece of cake. Traveling for several hours some way off the main road(She didn't like traveling in obvious open spaces). Lizzie stopped abruptly as she came across raider corpses, she was just outside the town of Nipton now and the sky was slowly getting pinker. She stepped over the corpses and kept on walking, feeling that if this Ray guy was anywhere it would be in Nipton.

While Jacob was Praying with his eye's closed he heared the voice speak to him so he interupted his prayer and peeked trough one of his eye's he saw that the Deathclaw was talking, a talking deathclaw was rare and it was even talking to him. so when he heared what it told him he stood up to give answer
"A religious man. I would speak with you."
Yeah mi mon, Di name is Jacob, Rastaman. Always praising Jah creation weh I guh, an treat dem wid humbleness an respeck
he made a small bow and then pointed at everyone in the group from Ray, Mister Coltrane, Marilyn and Liam
Dis is Ray, mi best bredren. Mister C, an old but wise mon. Marilyn, mi love an princes. yuh know one love an ting aaiyt? oh an Liam, also a good bredren and Marilyns bredda.
He waited for The Deathclaw to react on this, he still was a bit nervous but didn't showed this. To calm his nerves he got out his rolling papers and his healing powder. he then searched his pockets and couldn't find a ciggarete so he turned his head to Liam and asked to him
Liam, mon. Cyan i barrah a cigarette fram yuh? Please?
He now waited for a cigarette and the Deathclaw to react.
Mister Coltrane had woke up from all the noise and when he saw the Deathclaw his face turned white instantly, even when a ghoul you could see his skin get a bit more pale. he did a few steps closer to Liam and saw that he got his expensive old whiskey, so he grabbed it took a swig and after that he spoke
Liam, why do you have my whiskey? I like to drink this before I die of this Majestic but Evil and Deathly creature, Cigar?
he got 2 big Cigars out of his jacket pocket and lighted this one and the other and handed it to Liam
Better enjoy life before it ends right? why it didn't killed us yet? is it sick?
Ray on the other hand did a step forward to back Jacob up, if they would go down, they would go down togheter so when he stood next to Jacob he made a small salute to the deathclaw and said:
Hi Buddy, Im Ray, guess you never had such a warm welcome ain't it? hope you give what you get, then we all fine, I guess we more then you but I hope you get my point, no offence meant ofcourse. Now please Intorduce yourself
Now Jacob Ray and Mr C patienctly and silently waited what this extra ordinary Deathclaw would do next. all hoping for the best to happend and to learn more of this creature.

Lizze traipsed up the road to Nipton. Several NCR troops mill about the town, while a couple others play cards on a nearby rooftop, but no citizens seem to be out and about, if any. Lizze opens the door to what looks like a bar and finds herself to be correct. She walks up to the bartender and whips out the bounty paper "Have you seen this man?" she inquires. The bartender looks at the bounty paper and says "What if I 'ave?". Lizze frowns a little "If you have, you need to tell me." she replies, almost forcefully. "I didn't know the NCR allowed women to do a man's job." said the bartender, spitting into a cup. His eyes swiveled to her head, to a tuft of red hair sticking out from under Lizzie's camo bandanna. He sneered at her, Lizzie noticed he was missing several teeth, "Get out of here, Strawberry.". In an instant the bartender was on the floor with his hand over his nose,scarlet liquid seeping between his fingers. Lizzie promptly vaulted over the counter and grabbed his shirt with two hands and threw him against the counter, pinning his head on the bar. "Now I'll ask again." she said in a falsely sweet voice. "Have you seen this man?"
About two minutes later, Lizzie was on the road out of Nipton and was heading in the direction of Novac. She was going completely on what the man had said, which didn't really make her feel any better but it was a lead. The Nevada sun started to rise in the sky, each hour becoming increasingly hot. On the way she passed dead people, dead creatures, broken down cars and whatnot. Just a typical day in the wasteland, and not a single living soul on the road. Of course preferred it this way, being that most living things want her dead. Human and creature. She finally saw a small settlement up ahead with a large dinosaur, which struck her as strange. Putting the dinosaur to the back of her mind she made Novac and it was time to get this guy.
