A TRP and spooder Fallout Rp thingie!!! YEEEY *Streamers*

"Well, I guess we'd better follow it," Hunter said, looking around. "Oh, a boat; that's convenient," he said, noticing a rowing boat tied to the shore.

 

Once James was in the boat, Hunter climbed in too, and pushed off the bank. They started moving down the river, carried by the current. Hunter grabbed a boat pole and tried his best to steer them away from rocks.

 

"I'd blame that on the Med-X, but with you I'm not sure." Hunter was not sure that even Super Mutants would be fooled by their simply ducking down in the boat. A few seconds later, his fears were confirmed as bullets started slamming into the hull; by some miracle, he and James managed to avoid being turned into Swiss cheese, but the boat wasn't so lucky. As the boat sank, James and Hunter were swept into the river, and carried off by the increasing current.

 

Hunter awoke on the deck of a boat, with a young orange-haired woman looking down at him. "Where am I?" he croaked. The last thing he remembered, he and James were swept into a much bigger river, which he assumed was the Potomac, before being pulled under the water by the current.

"You're on board the Duchess Gambit" She replied, "And my name's Nadine; I'm the captain. And the helmsman. The whole crew really."

Hunter suddenly remembered about James, and Blood "There was a man, and a dog, with me, are they-"

"They're both fine, relax," Nadine said, pointing to the other side of the deck, where James was sitting against the cabin, unconscious, but alive, and from where Blood was bounding rapidly towards them.

"Good to see you too, boy," Laughed Hunter, play fighting with Blood a little.

 

"You're on a boat called the Duchess Gambit, we were pulled out of the river by her captain to save us from drowning, and I don't know; you've been shot I guess? Here, let me take a look." Hunter pulled out his doctor's bag once more, and inspected the wound. It had been caused by a bb gun; one of the mutants must have been using one for some reason.
"Oh this is really terrible!" Hunter said mockingly, "You could die!"

 

"Guess that Med-X has worn off then," Hunter said, walking off. He was going to find Nadine, and see if he could find out where they were heading. He found her on the top deck, steering the boat, "So where exactly is this boat going?" He asked.

"We're headed to Point Lookout," Nadine responded, "I deal in punga fruit, I'm just going to pick up the next shipment. We should be there in a few days. You can sleep in the cabin downstairs if you want."

 

"We sure are," Nadine replied, turning to look at James: "What, don't tell me a big bad mercenary like you is scared?"

"Say, Nadine," Hunter said, trying to change the subject, "If a body was in the river where you picked us up, where would it wash up?"

Nadine looked a bit confused: "Well, provided nothing decided to eat it along the way, it'd probably wash up on the sand banks at Point Lookout, why?"

Hunter looked at James: "Looks like your friend might already be waiting for us at Point Lookout."

 

They'd been on the boat almost a whole day when Nadine's worried yelling woke Hunter. He turned to James, who was still hiding in the corner: "C'mon man, sounds like something's wrong!"

He ran up to the top deck to see Nadine looking at something on the riverbank. "What is it?" He asked, then he saw them; Mirelurks, about twenty of them looking their way.

"They've spotted us," Nadine said, obviously worried. Mirelurks were bad at the best of times, but in these numbers...

"James!" Hunter called out, looking to see if James had followed him as he loaded his brush gun. The Mirelurks had started swimming towards the boat...

 

"Your friend has problems." Said Nadine, staring at James in shock.

"You have no idea," Hunter responded, trying to shoot the mirelurks without hitting James. "I think he may have taken a few too many blows to the head or something."

 

"Oh for the love of-" Hunter turned to Nadine and handed her his guns; "Hold on to these."
Pulling out his knife hand clenching it between his teeth, Hunter jumped into the water after James.
