Andoria had traveled the wastes, had conquered the mojave and put a few laws down.
Now the girl was out traveling once more, pale allibaster skin, bright blue eyes, and white hair marked the girl. She was known as the white queen of New Vegas but now, now she was just traveling needing a break from all the hussle and bussle of New Vegas.
She traveled along the old dusty roads, her eyes watching the road and the sides of the road, waiting for someone to approach her.
Those blue eyes of her were watching, waiting, wondering if a raider or a thug would try and mess with her.

Corina, a very, very innocent android, wouldn't hurt a fly, was on the side of the road.
She was cradling her 'mother' who had died, shot by a raider a few hours ago. Crying because, her mother was the 'Person she loved more than all the world'.
Now, she didn't know what to do.

Andoria stopped to look at the girl, frowning a bit before walking over to her.
Andoria looked a little intimidating carrying her sword of the east and wearing some sort of weird tribal outfit.
"Hey are you alright?" She asked, moving towards the girl.

"No." Corina said, looking up at a woman wearing strange, and slightly scary clothes, "Mummy died, I'm sad..."
She started to cry again, hugging her 'mother'.

Andoria frowned before walking over to her and looking down at the girl's 'mother'.
"... I'm sorry for your lose... You shouldn't be out here alone though, there are plenty of raiders and animals that would hurt you... Maybe you'd like to travel with me?" Andoria suggested.

"But, mummy..." Corina said, letting a tear fall, "What about mummy? I don't to leave her alone... We only went to buy food... Why did mummy die?"

Andoria ran a hair through her white hair before biting her lower lip.
"It's how the wastes are... they take without discrimination... Sometimes they take the most important people from us... I know they took someone important to me... How about this, we give her a nice burial that you can come back to and see her from time to time?"

Corina nodded, "Yes... please, I would like that."
She parted her mothers hair, keeping it away from her mothers face, standing, putting hand out and saying, "I am Corina."

Andoria nodded, taking the girl's hand with a gentle smile on her face.
"I'm Andoria Weathers, it's a pleasure to meet you Corina," She responded before she grabbed her backpack off her back then grabbed out a shovel.
"Where should we take her?"

"I... I don't know," Corina said, looking back to her mother, "Mummy never talked about where she wanted to be buried... Maybe we should bury Mummy at home?"

Andoria nodded before moving over to the late woman.
"... Hey, Corina... mind if I ask you something?"

Post by clol7 on Sept 20, 2011 0:41:25 GMT -8
"What do you want to ask?" Corina said, looking at her with curiosity now that she wasn't so upset, she still was, but not as much now.

"How old are you exactly?" She asked, eyeing the girl. She acted like a child but she looked like an adult which was peculiar.

"Well..." Corina said, putting her finger on her chin and looking up, as if she was thinking, "Mummy always said that she almost couldn't tell, she said I look like I'm 21, I act like I'm seven, and I've been awake for 2 weeks."

Andoria blinked, confusion marking her face before a slight grin crossed her face.
"You're not normal are you?" She asked before picking up the girl's mother.
"That's okay, I'm not normal either."

"Mummy did say that I wasn't born normally." Corina said, "How old are you?"

"... I'm 19, but... I'm different... I was born normally but my brain got wired differently... I come from back east... and there's a few people there that are like me but I'm a little more different then they are," She responded.

Corina nodded, "I don't know much about places, Mummy wanted me to stay home, told me it wasn't safe."

"It's alright dear... Well, let's head to your home then shall we?" Andoria asked, smiling softly at the girl.

"Ok." Corina said, "But could I just be alone with Mummy for a little while?"

"Of course, after we get to your home so I can start working on her burial spot alright?"

"I understand." Corina said, nodding, "I show you where mummy and my home is?"

"Yes please," Andoria responded, looking down at the late woman. It, in a sense, made her saddened. Raiders were one thing that needed to go and in her Mojave... That was an irritation.

"Follow me." Corina said, walking down the road in the same direction Andoria was walking in the first place.
It turned out to be only a few minute walk down the road where Corina pointed to a disused bunker, "This is home."

She looked at the bunker then to the girl before nodding.
"You think you can hold your mother?" She asked, biting her lower lip.

Corina nodded, taking her mother and holding her, starting to cry again.

Andoria took out her fold-up shovel and wandered off behind the bunker and started digging up the hole for the woman. A shudder ran through her, remembering the loss of someone dear to her... It was a screwed up story behind that one.
She had fallen in love with the man that had shot her in the head... The man had in return, later found himself falling in love with her.
The wastes had taken him away from her along with her child.

Corina continued to cry, looking at her mother. She almost didn't believe she was dead, she started to try and wake her, as if she was just asleep. She didn't of course, and so Corina started crying even harder.

Andoria took a few hours before the hole had finally been dug up, occassionally taking a drink from her trusty canteen before she continued on.
Once she was done she wiped the sweat off her brow before walking over to the girl.
"You ready?"

Post by clol7 on Sept 20, 2011 15:24:23 GMT -8
Corina nodded, wiping her eyes, standing and nodding, "Yes, I am ready. What do I do?"
