Left Behind RPG

Melody, her nerves on end anyway, took Jason's comment as an insult to her intelligence. Folding her arms she started to retort angrily that she knew very well wounds needed to be cleaned but she stopped herself.
"You seem to be able to handle things nicely without me. Let me know if you need find you DO need any help." Melody replied cooly and turned to the oven. She busied herself with the task of checking out the pizza's and chicken that were just now beginning to fill the room with enticing fragrances.

Samantha Stone, Melody's mother, still stared into space, seeming to see no one. Her mind on overload, strange images were dashing across her tortured mind. She remained oblivious to everyone else in the room.

Brian did turn when the newcomer came in and when ever Rocky ran over to him, he didb't move at all, so Rocky spent most of his time geting in melodys way trying to get what ever food he could get.

 

[DeltaJ]

But I do need your Help I can't see what I'm doing, replied Jason, did I do something. or are you just edgy.

 

[cyberwing]

Melody leaned over to check the progress of the oven's contents. At Jason's comment she drew her brows together in a decided frown, once again finding his words enough to make her defensive. She started to say something withering and clever but suddenly, it seemed so foolish. 'Here thousands of people have gone missing and I'm ready to argue over an implied insult from someone I don't even know... Maybe he didn't mean it the way it sounded...and maybe I AM on edge...' Melody thought to herself. Finally she shook her head and sighed.
"If you need help I will help you." Melody replied to Jason her voice guarded. She looked over at Brian.
"Hey, you belong to Rocky don't you? What's your name? I'm sorry I didn't ask outside. Felt like first order of business was to rescue you from my mother! She can get very annoying sometimes but she really doesn't mean to be so bossy. It's just her personality." Melody leaned over and pet Rocky again, then went to the sink to cleanse her hands and render her aid to Jason. She said nothing to Jason but helped dress the wound.
Finally winding the last of the bandage into place and fastening it with the medical tape, she broke the silence.
"So how did you DO this?" She asked eyeing him with the same suspicion she had given to Sgt McCorley. Melody wondered if the two knew each other, both dressed in military style clothing although different.

[DeltaJ]

Thanks, said Jason, after melody finished bandaging him she asked how this happened, Jason replied. The driver of my truck raptured and we or me and the pile of clothes driving my truck hit a tree before I could grab the wheel and I wacked my head on the dashboard. didn't even notice till you said something. well anyway I'm Jason Shaw. and your, said Jason as he offer Melody his hand.

"I'm Melody Stone, daughter of councilman Stone. That's my mother over there. What do you mean by 'raptured'??" Melody stared at Jason, intensely curious. 'A military jock speaking of the fairy tale she had heard her mother scoff at and make fun of for so many years?' Melody thought. Something extraordinary had happened and so far the 'explanations' from the media had been various, confusing and downright unbelievable, even for her liberated, world-citizen's. open-minded approach to things. She was eager to hear this fellows observations.

Brian turn a bit but didn't awnser, Rocky sat waiting for more food but the smell got to strong for him and he gave on look at Brian then jumped up on the counter were some forgoten food was, he quikly ate it up then sat back down as if he didn't do anything. he looked up at melody then turned as Brian got up. Rocky bounded over brian just walked over to a cornner and sat down against the wall, he started muttering stuff and pushed Rocky out of his face when Rocky tried to lick him.

The Bible says that when the end of the world comes, Jesus will come down a bring his faithful up to heaven "rapture". It was suppose to happen in the blink of and eye and it did. And all the fauthless or those weak in faith will be left behind to endure a tribulation, thats what happened us. I guess I must have been weak in my faith. Thats what I believe happened.

 

[DeltaJ]

(ooc: Can I join? If so, what's been happening?)

Yes you can join the more the better.

the raptured just happened. and all of our characters are meeting at a church fellowship hall.

 

[cyberwing]

Melody listened intently to Jason. "So you think the Rapture so many radical Christian sorts spoke of has happened? But... I thought it was all a lie? I heard something about it was all based on the ravings of some lunatic and had no basis in The Word of God?" Melody's eyes fell on her mother and her expression went from dawning comprehension to anger. "Is it? Is it spoken of in The Bible? All I know is what I have been told!" Melody's anger rose as she took in the way her mother looked away from her daughters searching, questioning eyes.

"Rocky! You won't get any more tidbits if you don't behave!" Melody laughed and waved a finger at the dog. Looking around she noticed Brian in the corner. He had not answered her. Melody wondered if she had offended the younger man. Running an absent-minded hand through her hair, Melody sighed. The kitchen timer thankfully went off at that moment and she could withdraw to stay busy with preparing food. It helped her frantic feelings of frustration to stay busy.

 

[DeltaJ]

Jason noticed the young man sitting in the corner. Hmm looks like he could use a friend, he thought. Jason aproached Brian and said. Hi I'm Jason whats your name.

Ellie walked up to the church door, and hesitated before she entered the building. She knew exactly what had happened, and couldn't believe that she had missed the truth. She had spent so many Sunday's here at this very church, she had heard the truth, yet she still missed it. She took a deep breath, and opened the door. As she entered, she heard voices coming from the Fellowship Hall and headed in that direction. She stopped as she entered the hall, and just stood in the entryway, looking around. She didn't know anybody, and was shy when it came to meeting new people.

 

[cyberwing]

Melody saw Ellie in the doorway of the fellowship hall. She waved at her. "Come on in. I'm Melody, that's Rocky (she pointed to the dog) and that's my mother over there. I don't remember everyone else's names....but come on in, the pizza is ready to come out of the oven!" Melody smiled and ducked her head back into the kitchen.

Character Bio

Name: Tara Pierce
Age: 18
Eyes: bright, almost crayola green.
Hair: chin-length jet black hair, naturally tight curls.
Personality: Tara doesn't trust anyone, not even those she calls "acquaintences" or friends." She's been on her own for just over four years, and it shows in her face. She's seen the best and the worst of what the wrold has to offer. Besides being very untrusting, she's incredibly intelligent and never takes something at face value. She loves to debate and question everything, whether she knows it's right or wrong. She likes having a good time and relaxing, but since that hasn't happened in quite awhile, she has almost convinced herself that it doesn't happen.
Her quote: "If people (or God) care, they (He) don't care about me."
History: Tara's parents went through a messy divorce when she was 13. After going through a year of feeling like her parents were fighting over her and trying to get her to take sides, she simply ran away. She's been halfway across the U.S. and back again. She's developed her skills as a pickpocket and used her brains to manipulate many people. She's become good at what she does, and she believes that this is as good as life gets, and as happy as she can get.

((I know it's long, but I hope it works!))

Tara snuck along the side of the church. Since the disappearences, she quickly realized that her life as a theif was going to be easier than ever. But this building had a good-size group of people in it, which still meant possible trouble.

"Figures," she thought to herself, "Whenever something bad happens, people flock to the mystical and the unreal." she rolled her eyes and peered into one of the windows.

Tara saw them as mostly middle-class, although she looked at all people in terms of wealth nowadays. The only thing that stood out to her was the dog that wandered from person to person. That and the smell of pizza and chicken.

"Home-cooked meal." she whispered under her breath.

After longing after real food, Tara snapped herself back to reality. "Nothing here for me." she concluded and continued making her way along the church's wall. She was rounding near the front and coming out of the bushes when she knocked over an official looking gun that had been hidden there. "Well, that's interesting," she mused quietly, "Not something you can just find in the bottom of a cracker jack box."

Brian look up for a second at the man he forced a smiled but didn't respond. Rocky saw Jason as a prime target for attation and jumped up so he was face to face with him, and then licked his face."

 

[DeltaJ]

(((hey! fire rock welcome)))

Jason Began petting Rocky behind the ears, Brian didn't answer Jason so he said, "don't want to talk thats okay don't blame ya, I'll just go see if melody's done with the food. Jason stood up and walked into the kitchen. "ymm! that smells good, melody is it finished I'm starving".

Rocky bounded after the man after giving Brian a look, lucky for him brian was to in shock to realy care what he did.

 

[cyberwing]

"The way to a male's heart is his stomach, no matter WHAT species he is!!!" Melody laughed and her eyes danced. She quickly set out the food on the high countertop and shooed Rocky off after giving him the promised chicken fingers. Seeing everyone head for the food, she turned to Ellie. "Would you pour the soda's or water, whatever people prefer. The frig has bunches of bottled water already cold." Melody slipped out of the kitchen and went to Brian. The blonde sat down next to him.
"Hey, I'll bring you something if you would like but.... you have to tell me your name first! Or are you going to make me call you 'Hey you' all the time?" Melody smiled and tilted her head. "Really, I'm not like my mother over there...I don't bite. I'm Melody Stone."
