[h3] Wasteland close to rivet city [/h3]

A thick silence permeated across the wasteland, in but a few short years, the scars which etched itself into the very foundations of the earth were painted with new, more brutal scars, scars which would continue to etch themself into the canvis of the capital wasteland, until it had all but blotched out what it was originally and whilst war may never change, while the world, corrupted and swallowed in its own greedy fight over land, fight over pointless squabbles and fight merely for profit, there was one soul in the wasteland that did not care for such things, a soul that only wished to survive and live long and prosper, a four legged soul, its eyes gleaming as it stared to the vast ruinous wasteland, eager to explore, eager to find food and eager to live on. That souls name, was Khalid.

The soft, silent pads of the canine pitter-pattered across the stone and dirt of the wasteland's concrete jungle, his ears flickering, allowing his canine senses to help him track any sounds close by, along with his powerful nose and watchful gaze, he wouldn't be ambushed any time soon, not before he noticed his foes himself coming at him a mile off. The large dog curiously sniffed along the dirt surface, a mixture of different scents fumbled his senses for a mere moment. Blood, ash, gunpowder, sickness, the average smells of the wasteland. Khalid did his best to search around the tall, ominous buildings before heading into one himself, its doors were busted completely open, ripped off their hinges with some form of gunfire, not that khalid knew. 

He let his senses go to work once more, carefully and slowly advancing through the urban office building, his decision to search here was a choice well made, as the scent of sugar tickled his nostrils, causing the dog to lick its chops eagerly before bolting off in an excited sprint, his nose grinding along the dirty office floor, following the scent of what he could only describe as food. When he locked onto a scent, it would never leave his sight, his treasure hunt a success as the dog ground to an immediate halt behind a large cabinet, however the handles were too big for him to reach, instinctively making khalid pine, his head tilting in confusion, perplexed on how he was going to overcome such a vigorous challenge. At first, Khalid attempted to charge as fast as he could into it, but all that did was give the dog a slight twitch of pain as its body clunked into the metal cabinet's door. It would seem he would have to try plan B.

Khalid extended his jaw open, wide enough to latch onto the side of the wooden door. He growled and janked, pulling his hardest. Had he been a weaker dog, and if the lock on the door had been stronger, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it, but with enough jaw force thanks to his lockjaw, khalid had ripped the door straight off the hinges, chomping angrily on the door he had yanked off with extreme prejudice, as if trying to scold the door for doing its job. His lockjaw loosened eventually, allowing Khalid to drop it and get into the contents of the box which laid within, but it wasn't merely one box, two boxes were dragged out from within the cabinet, causing their mouldy, sugar tasty bomb shaped forms to sprinkle across the floor. Sugar bombs!

As if Khalid could hold himself back, it was his treat, his reward for searching so hard, his reward for being smart enough to yank that bad door down from keeping him from acquiring such a tasty, sugary meal. Khalid scoffed, slurped and chomped on each individual sugary treat, consuming every last little sprinkle in each of the boxes. Two full boxes of sugarbombs, it was heaven in disguise. He was contemplating merely to simply rest now, and let the sugarbombs rest in his stomach, but his potential rest was disturbed by the sound of a violent explosion of the Vertibird, which made Khalid stand up on all fours defensively, growling at the outside, as one of the buildings close by was now coated in the flames, the wreckage of a vertibird clearly visible. Khalid knew he shouldn't stay, fearing his life and bolted off out of the door of the office, as fast as his canine legs could carry him, he sprinted in the direction of Rivet City. 

[h3] Outside Rivet city [/h3]

The dogs legs had carried him straight to the outside of rivet city, however Khalid had halted just before reaching it, as he noticed the vertibird flying overheard, the flying machine roared and positioned itself outside, before the huge tanker of a ship that was the city. In but a few moments, gunfire filled the air, causing Khalid once more to rush away into a nearby building to hide away from the enclave soldiers who were storming River City, hurrying into the building where Jim[@sophrus] currently was positioned though upon hearing the sound of his rifle, Khalid crouched down immediately and slowly approached, but kept himself hidden under a table, watching jim move carefully. He didn't know of this man was friend or foe, simply waiting to see what he would do, hidden in the shadows.
