Sarah watched as Katie began to freak out slightly, which just proved Melody's and Amadeus's point about her and Zack being the only ones who can see angels. It suddenly made her wonder, watching Katie, was it the same basic princeple(SP?) with Strake? No, because everyone could see him. Everyone would've had to have seen him perform earlier.
"Isn't that just a big bowl of jelly?" she asked to no one in particular. She looked at Amadeus. "Why can I see you, and Katie can't? Is there some big council of angels in Heaven who decides this? Or is it just a random group of humans born with the talents, and you guys fish them out?" She said this bit with a little more annoyance than she actually wanted, which was was none at all. She caught this and sighed. "I'm sorry. I'm a little hungry and everything that's happened in the past hour is just too much for me to handle."

Amadeus smiled, finally grasping why Sarah was so hostile. She had been confused. Here was this man, whom she thought everyone could see, acting like a holy, righteous protector for the good of mankind. Which, of course, what he was, but since Sarah didn't know that Guardian Angels really existed, it might have seemed weird to her, and could easily turn her hostile against him. It was good that he was finally able to understand this. But first to answer her question.
"There is no council in Heaven that gives out this gift. Nor is it random. It is something you are born with, out of the control of angels, but most certainly within the control of God. He has a Plan for everything, you see, and so there are certain individuals he deems merit some gift or another to help progress his Plan. One such individual, it seems, is yourself, and he has bestowed upon you the Gift of Sight. What this means is you are able to see and communicate with angels. You may do the same with demons, though I doubt they will be willing to have a friendly chat with you. As for why you were given this gift, I believe the reason is this: you are to help Melody take care of Zack. The converse may also be true, in that sometimes Zack may need to help get Melody out of a sticky situation. In either case, there may be times when one cannot help the other without extra aid. If it is a mundane, earthly problem, then of course anyone could help. But if it is a... demonic problem... someone with Sight will be necessary. There may be a time when neither myself nor Father Charles will be able to assist them. But you might be able to."
Amadeus gave Sarah an encouraging smile and asked, "Now, if you have any questions for me, I will do my best to answer."
((I hope I didn't step out of line with Amadeus's explanation of Sight. I figured that was the most likely scenario, anyway, so I hope it's all good.))

((Don't worry about going away on vacation. I've done it sort've often, and I'll be doing it again. >_>
Anyway, not too much has happened. If I remember correctly, you're already aware of the demon attack at the battle of the bands, thingy. Zack and his band, and Strake and his band went to the house of one of Zack's bandmembers (Sarah) because Zack was injured pretty bad and so was Melody. They were both patched up at Sarah's house, and Priest Charles and Amadeus (Guardian Angel) showed up to help the mortals get used to the fact that there was an angel hanging out with them (Melody). Amadeus shows extreme hostility towards Strake, because Strake is a demon and Amadeus does not trust him at all, despite the fact that Strake repeatedly says he's a good guy. After the chit-chat, Priest left to go get some food. He also used God's influence to alter a few things, such as ensuring that Sarah's parents don't come home until late tomorrow, so everyone can stay the night without her parents freaking out.
Sarah's feeling pretty depressed because 1) Melody is taking her unofficial job of looking after Zack, and 2) Amadeus is taking her unofficial job of ensuring her guests at her house are well-looked after. Thing is, she has "Sight", so she knows that Amadeus exists... no one else knows about him besides Zack, Melody, Charles, and Strake. She finds out, and Amadeus just (as in this last post) explained to her that his job is to work behind the scenes ensuring the safety of mortals.
Obviously, that's not everything, per se... but hopefully it's enough to get you up to speed. Anyone else who would like to add something I forgot... by all means.))

"Why isn't anybody answering me, have I suddenly become as invisible as the person you're talking to, I guess I don't exist anymore, fine, then I'll just leave, so I can stop existing in peace." Katie says angrily then goes towards the stairs. What's wrong with them just ignoring me like that, very bad hostess if you ask me, ignoring her guest, I think she's nuts.
((I think TMD covered it pretty good, oh and btw, Katie is usually the nicest person in the world, but she absolutely can't stand being ignored, that's pretty much her only flaw. sorry about shortness again. Katie is a somewhat difficult character for me, considering she's a more of side character friend of Strake's, and the fact she's a woman, and I'm use to being male every second of my life.))

Sarah sighed as Katie stomped off. She wasn't ignoring her on purpose; it's just learning all this...it made her wonder if Zack knew, and how long he knew. Well, there was no reason to be dwelling on it now. She sighed again, smelling the putrid smell that emitted off Melody.
"I don't have any questions at the moment," she finally said. She looked at Melody. "I think we better get to my actual house so we can clean you up." She smiled.
((Something exciting needs to happen now...o.O i'm running outta ideas...))

((Sorry guys; busy few days, but totally fun. And now I've officially played Resident Evil 4 at least once in my life. xd *never plays horror games, but went to a friend's house*. I'm bad with horror stuff, but apparently it's alot of fun to play with people around you that make awesome comments and/or scream alot, particularly my best friend, who freaked out the way I thought I was gonna freak out. Of course, it helped that there was someone saying "ok, such and such is gonna pop out of there", so that took away alot of fear, which I'm glad of. xd
I'm actually trigger happy with that game; my first instinct is to shoot everything. Almost shot the only good guy that looks evil, some merchant. gonk
Oh, and TanManDown actually explained it quite awesomely, so I won't add anything to it, unless the person who asked has more questions.))
Melody listened as Amadeus explained why Sarah could see, but couldn't help but feel a bit useless at the explanation. So it was to help Zack when she couldn't. A backup angel, so to speak. That was sort of depressing, expecially considering the fact that she'd already gotten hurt once, what's to say it won't happen again? But she knew he was right, and that she'd have to accept that. After all, she's already done so for several years.
As she heard Kaite stomp off in annoyance, she felt sort of bad for her too; they must look weird talking to air, from Kaite's view of it, of course.
She snapped out of it as Sarah turned back to her, mentoning the cleaning up thing again. "Good point; gosh, I must smell awful." she sighed, not wanting to be a bother but at the same time not wanting to kill everyone with her stench either. It's a tough call. She could see now why Sarah was to help her; she couldn't even take care of herself on this Earth place.
There was a knock on hte door and then it opened; the Priest had returned with said food, balancing quite well despite the number of boxes. He DID owe them for kinda screwing up the rest of the festival for them, after all.
"I'm back; sorry for the wait. Long lines at the restruants." he called out with a chuckle, as he looked around as to where to sit the food. "Hm, it seems like there's less people here...." he mused to himself. Both girls, actually. Perhaps they went to check on Melody. He wondered if they were awake.

"Don't worry priest I'm here, the angel and the other girl are just talking to air and completely ignoring." Katie said peeved. "Thank you for the food." Katie said with a sudden change of mood.
"Good timing, just finished Welcome Home, great song, guitar part is really tiring though." Strake said, puting down the game guitar and coming over and grabbed the food from the priest and set it down on a nearby table. "You shouldn't just carry around food, that's what makes you turn old." Strake said laughing a little bit. "Oh hey Katie, where were you?" Strake asked just noticing Katie was there.
"Oh I was just upstairs." Katie said going over to the table, she easily forgot everything when there was food to be eaten.
"Okay, I'm gonna go upstairs, see how Melody, Sarah, and the other angel are." Strake said about to go up stairs.
"Wait other angel? How'd you know that Sarah and Melody were up there?" Katie asked in surprise.
"Yeah there's another angel up there, the one from earlier, I can hear their voices." Strake said continuing his way upstairs. "Hey you three." Strake said as he arrived at the top of the stairs to see Amadeus, Sarah, and Melody.
"Why does Strake say there's another angel, but I can't see him?" Katie asked the Priest confused.
((I feel I should inform you that I won't be able to get on the internet after September first, so we're gonna need to kill Strake off by then.))

"Since you would most probably be uncomfortable with me being present while you clean yourself, I will be taking my leave now. It seems that Priest Charles has returned with the food. I'll go let him know you're preparing to wash." Amadeus bowed his head and was about to leave for the stairs when Strake appeared. Despite his rather rude introduction into the conversation, Amadeus did his best not to show any annoyance on his face. "Melody is getting ready to clean herself up right now, and Sarah, as far as I know, is planning on helping her. I recommend we set aside some food for them, since they probably won't be down before everyone else is finished with their meal."
The angel walked past Strake and headed down the stairs. The volume of food that met his eyes when he reached the main room temporarily took him by surprise. He had no idea that Priest Charles could carry so much... volume all by himself. He approached Charles and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. "Melody is upstairs with Sarah. It seems that they both think Melody needs a bath, as she is apparently far from presentable at the moment. I wouldn't worry about Melody... she seems to be in good hands with Sarah." He lowered his voice so that only Charles could hear him (though he was sure no one else could hear him anyway), "Besides... Sarah needs to feel helpful right now, and taking care of Melody will most likely do the trick."

"He seemed rater pleasant, I hope that wasn't just for show in front of you two, and it was really a change of mood." Strake said with a smile on his face, knowing that Amadeus's act was a total fake. "Well I'll be sure to set aside a nice large portion for you two, Melody, I sincerely hope you enjoy your first meal, but don't over eat, it's not healthy." Strake said smiling even more, he was a particularly happy person when it came to food, even though he doesn't need to eat, and eats so quickly that Katie thinks he doesn't eat((as mentioned previously)).
((I forgot what food Charles got, was it pizza, or sushie or what?))

((I think it was both. xd ))
Charles took a moment to take some of the once-heavier load and sat it on the table, showing no changes in emotion but couldn't help but mentally chuckle as Kaite was a bit confused. He might as well explain it a bit; she's already lost as it is.
"It's very simple, and I can assure you they're not going mad. There is in fact another angel here with us, but there are those who are born with powers gifted by God to see these beings, otherwise known as Sight. As to why only certain people get them, well, it's all in plans. Melody, once an angel, is able to see him just by the fact she is part angel. Sarah also has such a gift, as well as Zack and your friend Strake. To them, they are not talking to air, but infact another being that has been with us this whole afternoon." He figured it best not to mention that Strake was a demon; that might not go over well.
He was setting up the food as Amadeus came back, and informed the Priest of the whereabouts of the others. "Ah good! I was hoping Melody would wake up. All these human tools are probably rather confusing to her, since she wasn't able to be trained before coming here." he sighed at teh last sentence, but kept his voice teh same low level. "She's learning it the hard way, but it might be good for her, as well as Sarah. After all, after being Zack's caretaker for many years, it must be hard to learn so suddenly that he has a guardian angel. Kinda pushes Sarah out of the picture at a first glance, but not really in due time. So like you mentioned on being helpful, it would give back to Sarah some form of control." he nodded, pouring drinks.
Melody was only able to nod in thanks as Amadeus went back downstairs, the smell of more food roaming back up them. However, while Strake's presence nerved the young angel, he had yet to actually do someting. Of course, they usually waited til the coast was clear. He also didn't seem to like Amedus much.
"U-uh, thanks, I'll be careful." she answered, then remembering that she had had human food earlier this morning, while still an angel. She wondered if she smelled of blueberry; that could explain her food-like smell coming from her mouth...

Sarah watched as the short conversation took place between angel and demon. She could smell the food from downstairs, and knew the boys were probably mauling the priest. If they weren't she'd be amazed due to the fact that men tend to get violent when something comes between them and food.
"Well, then we'd better get you cleaned up so you could eat," she said, continuing her descent from before she saw Amadeus.
~~
Jay was the first to see the priest walk in. "Hell yeah!" he whooped. They had pretty much been deprived of food all day, so he was more than happy to see the yummy substance making its way. He was the one to go into the kitchen and grab a large pile of plates that looked like they had never been used. He set the plates on the table, keeping one for himself, and started grabbing whatever it was that Charles hadn't already unpacked.
Kevin and Tristan had already gathered around the food and started helping Charles set up food.
"Goodness, Jay," Kevin said. "Leave some for the rest of us."
Tristan was more interested in what Charles was talking about. So there was an angel watching their every moves? How sneaky. He didn't mind that he couldn't see the angel - he wasn't very religious himself.
~~
It was dark, but he wasn't afraid. He was working alongside his childhood star - Buzz Lightyear. They weren't alone, however, like they were in previous adventures (dreams).
There was a girl who traveled with them to this cave on a remote planet. He hasn't gotten a clear vision, but he knew she was there. She piloted the ship, and for some reason, he wasn't allowed in the cockpit like he usually was.
Buzz's walkie talkie arm thing beeped, and it was the girl. Before she could talk or anyone could do anything, the sweet smell of pizza entered the cave. Buzz looked at him, and shook his head.
"We've been tricked," he said. "Emperor Zurg is not here like we thought."
"Then what do we do?" Zack asked.
"Go back to the ship and eat something."
Zack nodded.
And opened his eyes. He looked around, and saw that he was alone on the couch in Sarah's guest house. His eyes dried up suddenly, making him close his eyes tightly to get some tears welled up; he sat up at the same time. He opened his eyes again and looked to see where everyone went to.
Priest Charles was talking with Amadeus, if he remembered correctly. Jay, Tristan, Kevin, and Katie were near the table, where he glimpsed the source of his hunger pains...the food itself. Sarah and Strake were nowhere he could see. He figured Melody was still in the room.
Slowly standing up, he rubbed his hair, ruffling it so it was messier than it was when he woke up.
"Smells good," he said, walking up to everyone who he knew was downstairs. The pizza smelled a lot better than the blood that made him pass out in the first place.
Jay gave Zack a plate. "Dish up, Sleeping Beauty, before it's all gone."
As Zack joined Jay in grabbing food, he moved next to the priest, and waited until he and the angel weren't talking. Whether they were done talking infinately, or just taking a short break, he wasn't sure, but he was speaking in a low tone anyway.
"How's she doing?" he asked Charles, indicating Melody. He even nodded towards the stairs as he said 'she'.
((Zack doesn't remember the dream with buzz, i just thought it'd be fun to put something there...and i like buzz. =D Plus, i had to wake him up...i couldn't live on just Sarah...sadly. I like her.))

((LOLZ! Buzz FTW! xd ))
Melody nodded and followed Sarah; as much as the food smelled nice, it was best to look presentable first. After all, if she smelled really bad, she'd cover up the nice food smell.
Her senses finally kicked in for a moment, a small yellow glow going across her eyes for anyone who was looking. Ah, so he was finally awake; he always slept like a log whenever he did sleep.
.....wow, she got that one right! STRIKE-no, that's not it. NOOES, her run was up already! Oh well. She shrugged and continued to follow, still perky.
Charles merely chuckled to himself as the kids went straight for the food; apparently getting alot was going to be worth it after all; he had been worried about having too many leftovers. Looks like they were some big eaters, especially a couple of the gentlemen.
As Zack finally awoke and asked what he figured he would ask, the aged Priest finished taking out hte last of the food. "She's awake and alright; she's no longer in any pain and is probably quite perky by this point. Thank God for that; angels heal quickly! However, she's not looking her best, so your friend Sarah is going to help her clean up before they both come down here." he answered him in the same quiet tone.
"IDOTS!"
Deep within a hidden place, a place so hot and horrible that it made the hottest deserts in the world seem like the North Pole, came a voice deep and cold, a voice so horrible that the hair on the back of your neck would stand striaght up, your knees cave in beneath you and your body sweat like never before.
This, was the true voice of Sotan, his disguise now gone but not in his true demon form, but about 50% there (you never want to see him past that). His skin was pale and smooth, although due to their location you could see that it was sort of a fake look to it, bits cracking and lines formed. He had rough long black hair atop his head that reached to his back. His one eye was still it's sickly yellow color, but for now the other eye was actually covered by a patch. He was wearing a deep blue jacket with a yellow shirt underneath, with black long yet fitting pants and black boots. He still kept a human form, which was in fact..............handsome and elegant. It made you wonder why he covered it before.
He was currently speaking to another that was below, the same bumbling fool who gave the man the arrows. This man was now on his knees with his face to the ground, bumbling jibberish out of fear, his rear up in the air in result of his crouched position.
They were currently in some sort of throne room, where one large comfy chair stood atop what loooked like a mountain, black clouds illumiating the whole place of hell. Fire was all around and many holes on the floors. Righ tnow the bumbling man was on solid ground, though the exit that was currently blocked by Sotan pacing back and forth made escape impossible.
Finally in rage, he walked over to the man and rose his hand. In an instant the human looked as if he was being held by his neck in hte air, yet no man was touching him.
"Tell me, Mr. Burrgins, when I ASKED for death arrows, what did you think to get me?" he asked, his voice smooth as he walked around in circles.
"D-d-death arrows, s-sir!"
"Really? Strange, then if they were death arrows, wouldn't the boy and the guardian angel be.......oooooh, I dunno....DEAD?!" The last words had the deep horrid voice only a demon would have, which made the man whimper.
"Hm......this merchant you bought them from was just the one I was instructed to go to, yet for some reason you ended up with some sort of strange arrow, that seemed to only trap the angel upon Earth. This makes things difficult, for now all of Heaven is onto me. Hmmm, this isn't good at all." he murmured to himself, as he looked about at all the hidious collectiosn and decorations in the room.
"So let me get this straight......you went to the merchant on the fifth floor of the old Cappy and Johns Burger store, you saw him there, you asked for the arrows, he gave you the suitcase with the goods, you come back, you give them to me, i use them, the angel doesn't die.............that could only mean one thing......something, even Hell wasn't ready for...."
he said this last sentence in almost horror, and quickly dug through a mess of books on a shelf til he found the one he wanted. It was a anti-scared book, so top-secret that he had to wave a hadn over it before the lock clicked and it was open. Scanning through the disturbingly anti-holy book, he finally found a page, and was silent for a moment.
There stood a picture of a perdicted future; a young lady on the ground, long dark hair laying over her shouder smoothly, wings of light coming out of her back and a simple cross necklace accenting her long dress. She was in the arms of a human boy, it's look in concern yet not of panic, as if it kenw this day would come.
The boy, he didn't get a good look at back at the fair, but this girl..........THIS was the girl from the picture. Melody, her name. He could find her face again in a heartbeat if on a street and given the chance to look.
"DAMN IT!" he roared, throwing the book across the hall as it hit a skull with a thud. So that was it; this was the chosen angel...... this was going to make things difficult. But wait..............
He suddenly began to chuckle, which turned into a small laugh, which turned into hysterical laughter only made by a mainiac. So tihs was it; he'd kill her as human. OH, so much easier! Then it's just the boy he needed to dispose of, which without an angel, would be simple.
He stopped laughing immediately as he heard the man go with a weak laugh; apparently trying to get back on his good side. Sotan began to chuckle again as he snapped his fingers; a hole in the floor suddenly opened, filled with lava of hte hottest degree.
"Hahahaha, oooooh, Mr. Briggins, you've been a SPLENDID help to me, and that detail was one impossible to avoid. I thank thee for your help-"
"B-b-b-b-ut can I leave? I-I did what you asked of me!"
Silence.
"I-I-I DID! I g-got your s-s-tupid arrows-"
"True, true. How could I have forgotten? Silly me." he chuckled, as he went to rub back his hair...........then pulled off his eyepatch.
Screams could be heard, the sound of splashing and hissing, more screams, then laughter of a madman. The screaming eventually stopped.
((Wow, that was more freaky than I planned. eek ))

"Strake, you never chew, you're gonna get a stomach ache, you know that right?" Katie said watching as Strake swallowed pizza after pizza whole.
Strake, seeing this as an opportunity to not continue eating decided to act as if he actually needed to eat. "Aww, you're right, excuse me." Strake said holding his stomach and then running upstairs.

Sarah jumped out of Strake's way, so she didn't get mauled in his rush. Her eyes followed his path, and wondered what it was that made him run in such a hurry.
Deciding that it must be a demon thing, she walked into the room where everyone was. Zack was awake! Well, no surprise. he could sleep through the atomic bomb, but wave a cracker under his nose and he's up in a jiffy.
She walked to the side of the wall towards the front door, knowing Melody probably wouldn't want Zack to see her bloodstain, or smell the sting of dried blood. But it was only up to Melody if she would jump towards Zack or not.
~~
Zack nodded in slight understanding in what the priest was saying about angels being able to heal quickly. Also, Sarah was the cleanest, most groomed girl he's ever known, so if Melody was to trust anyone to clean her up, it would be Sarah.
He reached for something, he wasn't quite sure what it was, from the sushi part of the table. He wasn't even sure that it was sushi. There was food on the table, he hadn't eaten since this morning, and he was going to eat whatever he could fit on his plate. He managed to turn his head and reach for a piece of pizza, turning his head away from the wall Sarah was sneaking beside.
Jay, Tristan, and Kevin were on the couches, hunched over their plates, only sharing small talk about how the food tasted.
((Sorry it took so long. I got side tracked on WoW. sweatdrop ))
