PH34R!!!!!(fear) <span style='color:red'>Pumeal discharged his rifle into the head of his target. The giant robotic snake rocked back with the force of the blast, but due to the shape of it, it slowly started falling forward. Before long Pumeal realized it was going to fall on him. He grabbed his rifle and turned to run. Before he had gotten one step the metalic body of his exterminated target crashed down on him.</span> [End Flashback] - whew, safe now. <span style='color:red'>Pumeal regained conciousness and noticed he was still in the same place. He saw the snake's body on him, and when he tried to move, his legs didn't respond. His lower half had been pinned underneath the snake. He tried and tried to pull himself free, but to no avail. 'This is going to hurt.' He thought of a way to get free, but it would most likely involve a lot of pain. He aimed his rifle the was still in his hand at the part of the snake that was crushing him. He charged it and tried to brace his arm as best he could. 'This is crazy. I'm about to fire a rifle that has so much recoil I need to use a tripod, that digs into the ground, and both hands to use. Not only that, but I'm firing it in the wrong direction so my arm is just going to be flung back.' Before he could convince himself otherwise he pulled the trigger. His arm flung back and slammed into the ground and a few of the rocks dug into his skin. The blast from the gun blew the snake body apart, sending shrapnel all around. His entire front was covered in cuts from tiny pieces imbeding themself in his flesh. He screamed in pain as the nerves sent the pain signal to his brain. He couldn't move at all, not from being stuck, just the intense fire he felt on his body. By now he was laying in a pool of his blood, he felt himself losing conciousness, and whispered the name he loved, "Tuju...."</span> <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>His wife's name is Tuju...

ooc:oooo pain pain *hands tissue* ------------------------ Peiruh's feet dug softly into the sand beneath her. The ruins were a place to think and ponder, and right now that is exactly what she needed. Yet still, the place was forboding and nerve wracking. The ominious black cloud that hovered over her heart, gripped at her conscience as well and she walked faster. Her breath left her in chunky, misty clouds and she froze. The smell of blood and fire stung her nose and she recoiled, knocked back by what she knew would be behind this next crumpling building. Swallowing hard, she clenched her fists and walked slowly, collected and calm around the shabby corner. Her hand tracing along it for any support she might need. Years of blood and death had never prepared her EVER for what she saw, be it a tragic death or a half dead patient. One never got used to those sights. Opening her unusually colored eyes, that until now she hadn't noticed where closed, she looked at the crimson streaked body before her. Gasping, she sprinted the last couple of yards and fell to her knees, in the scraping sand. Are you ok? Stay awake! She screamed at him as if it was his fault, but she hoped that it would shock him into awareness. Tracing the wounds with her eyes she shook her head and then propped his own up against her knees. Ok...I'm gonna help you. Her voice was angelic yet firm. Brushing aside some debris, she placed her hand into a spot in the sand. Green light danced around her fingers into the sand, a flower began to instantly bloom. Snatching it, she popped up Pumeal's mouth and dropped it in there. Chew it and swallow, its like morphine.
<span style='color:red'>The fire raged on as Pumeal felt his life draining onto the ground below him. He felt something enter his mouth. Instincively he chewed it and shallowed. Waves of relief flooded through his body, and he managed to open his eyes. When he did he saw a body slowly coming into focus looking down on him. His eyes cleared up and he saw that the girl kneeling over him had two different coloured eyes. He groaned and tried to move, but his body refused to let him. </span>
Don't move ok. It's to much of a strain on our body. Her voice was gentle and sweet. And at the same time very mature. Stroking his forehead tenderly she smiled at him and drew her wings up, shielding him from the beating sun. She found the many, tiny sized sources of his bleeding and gently lay his head down. I'm going to treat your wounds now..ok? Peiruh's gentle hands went to the first of many wounds, disinfecting it was some flowers that she grew as she went. Inspecting him has led her to find the bandages already on his being. Grabbing them, she figured he wouldn't mind, and started to heal him up. O by the way..I'm Peiruh.
<span style='color:red'>Pumeal stopped trying to move and just lay there allowing the stranger to mend his wounds. The pain was subsiding as the medicine was finding its way to the many wounds. "Hello, Peiruh. I'm Pumeal Uej."</span> <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>Not really much to post til you finish bandaging the wounds</td></tr></table>
Peiruh quickly bandaged the remaining wounds, smiling encouragingly at him. How did this all happen? In her care for the patient she had overlooked the giant dead snake. Her eyes roaming she gasped as she saw it and then looked at him, quite impressed. Rocking back on her heel, she fell to her bum none to gracefully and blushed with embarassment. You'll be fine. If you want some more medicine just tell me k.
<span style='color:red'>Pumeal managed to sit up, "Well when I killed the snake it fell on me. The only way to get it off of me was to blow up the head, that was on top of me, with my rifle. I just hadn't expected as much shrapnel to come off. "</span>
She laughed quietly. He seemed like a good person. Dusting off her pants and looking cautiously at the dead beast she winced. You're very brave for...well I couldn't fight something like that. She smiled and looked at him happily. She was glad he was better. Peiruh was a beautiful rainbow to behold and she looked particularly beautiful in the rays of the scorching sun.
<span style='color:red'>He hadn't noticed her beauty till the sun was shining on her directly. Realizing he was staring he grabbed his rifle and used it to support him as he stood up. "Wow, you are quite beautiful." He said truthfully. When he stood the sun hurt his eyes and as a reflex he brought his arm up to block the sun. In doing so, his wedding ring reflected the light into his eyes further. "Ahh!" He quickly hid his ring from the light, turning the stone towards the palm of his hand, "That's better." He looked at the snake-like robot and laughed, "Well, THAT was incovenient."</span> <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>Okay before you misinterpret my post, Pumeal is just complementing her, he's not coming on to her, or trying to cheat on Tuju.</td></tr></table>
She blushed as he spoke and then quickly got up to help him. Seeing as he was doing fine herself she couldn't help but admire the ring on his finger. May I see? She smiled widely, dreaming about the day when Vac would ask her hand in marriage. They were already expecting a child and that would just complete it all. Its a very pretty ring.... She looked down at her hand and tried to imagine one on herself. ooc: hehe lol ok
<span style='color:red'>"Sure, but be careful with it, it's the only thing one me that reminds me of Tuju." He frowned, "It's funny, I'm the sergent of her squad but I rarely see her, unless there is a big assignment that requires the whole sqaud." He removed the ring and held his hand out for Peiruh to take it.</span>
She fingered it delicately, gazing at if as if it were some sacred object. She smiled and then handed it back to him. Tuju? Your mate...she's in the army? That was so wierd to hear for some reason. To Peiruh women weren't well suited for the army, but then again she was wrong. After all her dear sister would have fun in a job like that.
<span style='color:red'>Pumeal put the ring back on his finger, "Yeah, they only let her in under my, uh..dedicated recommendation." He laughed nervously, "I asked them several times before they even tested her. She's a strong woman, and she can run as fast as me, so when they tested her with the other recruits, all guys, she was up in the top 3, I think she got 2nd." "When I married her, the army was a little worried that that might affect our perfomance, but we knew what could happen. Besides," He grinned, "we're too good to die." Turning to gaze at the destroyed robot, "Most people would have died from that thing." He sat back down, more comfortably this time, and inspected his rifle, "Ah man! The barrel was dented." He pointed at the extremely small dent, "You probably can't see it, but to me I can tell there is a micro-sized dent here. Ah well." He stood up, walked a few metres away and around a corner, he returned with a large backpack. Opening it he revealed many guns. There was a spare pistol, a set of dual pistols, a automatic rifle, a submachine gun, two micro-SMGs, and a locked case, holding his prized sniper rifle. Taking it out he opened the case, he had painted the gun himself to his liking. He assembled the large gun and put his "dented" rifle in the pack. His new sniper rifle's barrel was at least 4 times as long as his other, "With this baby, if you can see a target, you can shoot it too. It has such a long range that in order to shoot fast enough to hit the target it's shots are so powerful these two legs stick into the ground bracing the gun." Pumeal started laughing, "I'm so sorry, I'm starting to rant on."</span>
When it came to weapons and war Peiruh was clueless. She had chosen the life of peace, if you will, and his talk of recruiting and running and guns just went over her head. Still she laughed nervously as he brought out his whole arsenal. Quite a collection. It's alright obviously you love your umm guns. She fidgited a bit and Peiruh decided she needed to do something in order not to feel so uncomfortable. Putting a finger in the dirt she grew yet another plant, this one just for looks. Plucking it, she twirled it wistfully in her hands and opened her mouth to speak. I don't know anything about the army...just plants, medicine and healing sort of stuff. Guns are kind of...scary to me. They shouldn't be, considering her background. But they were. She grinned, realizing how foolish she was. Vex had guns and mother and father always had guns. But then again Peiruh was the black sheep in the family.
<span style='color:red'>"Nah I don't LOVE guns, I just have an unusual talent using them." He grabbed one of his micro-uzis, "This gun is not meant for long ranged shooting, it is pretty inaccurate, but watch this." He set his sniper rifle up at a angle of 85 degrees and fired. The gun dug almost a metre and a half intp the ground from the sheer force of the shot. Pumeal quickly put a zooming headset on and loaded the uzi, aiming at the sky. Then he waited, "I can't hit it while it's going up so I have to wait for the bullet to come back down." He zoomed in and saw the bullet rushing back to the surface at an incredible speed. He stood perpenpicular to the direction of the target, led the uzi straight out, aimed for a second then fired. the bullet took a mear second to hit it's target. There wasn't a huge explosion, only a spark of them hitting. He smiled at Peiruh, facing away from the light, blocking it from her eyes, "Pretty cool eh?"</span>
She smiled at his amazement, it was cute. Like a little kid getting all worked up about a rainbow or drawing a picture. Yea it is. My mom and sister used to do that sort of gunny stuff all the time. They were real close. She smiled at some not so great memories and then walked over to inspect the uzi just a bit more. It was a neat gun all in all, but she still held no real fascination for it. It was just so destructive. Grinning at him she plopped to the ground with a sigh.
<span style='color:red'>"I don't kill people. My squad is assigned to dispose of rogue war machines." He sat down beside her and put the uzi away, "I don't like killing people, and I hate it when I have to." He hated seeing people sad, "What's wrong?"</span> <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>Sorry for the stupid post, but I'm very depressed right now.</td></tr></table>
She inhaled sharply and looked at him from the corner of her eyes. It's nothing really....just old memories resurfacing again. She played with her fingers and looked at him, glad that he had made the effort to care. Smiling disarmingly she looked again at the guns and then at the man she had helped to save.
<span style='color:red'>Pumeal was at a loss of words, the guns were obviously making her feel uncomfortable so he closed his pack and stood up, "I'm starving, how about we go get something to eat?" He said, trying to change the subject. He put his pack on and held out his hand to help her up.</span>
She grabbed his hand as he helped hoist her up and smiled yet again. It was like a hobby to her, smiling. Yea, that would be nice. Didn't realize how hungry I was til you mentioned it. She laughed a bit embarassed and dusted off her outfit. Where to?
