[IC] When the Rapture Comes Knocking

[RhineQueen]

Roxy jumped, unconsciously latching on to Christa's arm, her breathing heavy.

[ChristaEinheart]

She rubbed her friend's arm quietly and started calling for Vagin, who came running fast, from hearing the heavy boot-steps coming down the hall.

[RhineQueen]

Roxy looked up to Vagin as he came into the room.
"What the sweet tits is that?" She asked frantically.

[ChristaEinheart]

He frowned a bit. "That...is a phrase I have never heard. and I do not know what it is, but I...am going to protect you two by shooting it a lot."

[RhineQueen]

Roxy nodded, still holding onto Christa.
"Okay. Good good. You, ah, go do that. That sounds like a good idea."

[ChristaEinheart]

He bent down and patted both their heads and headed out.

Christa smiled reassuringly and crooned.

[RhineQueen]

Roxy nodded and stayed attached to Christa for a moment before realizing she has holding fairly tightly and loostening her grip.
"Ah. Sorry." She chuckled nervously.

[ChristaEinheart]

She shrugged. "It's cool." she grinned a little and pulled Roxy to a safer spot.

[RhineQueen]

Roxy followed her, holding onto Christa's hand.

[ChristaEinheart]

Christa smiled a little and started piling heavy things on the window frames to block them.

[RhineQueen]

Roxy quickly joined in, glad to be taking a bit of action and not at all wanting to know what was out there.

[ChristaEinheart]

Soon, they were done. Christa happily sat in a corner with a training gun in her hand.

[RhineQueen]

Roxy wiped her brow and sat next to Christa, clutching her knees to her chest, her shoulder up against Christa's.

[ChristaEinheart]

Christa looped an arm around her shoulders and smiled a little.

[RhineQueen]

Roxy smiled and shuffled closer against her.
"This is fucking crazy." She muttered.

[ChristaEinheart]

She nodded a little. "It's strange."

[RhineQueen]

"I mean like it keeps getting crazier." She continued. "Last night I was sleeping in a church and now I'm barricaded in a schoolroom next to a babe with a gun. I almost feel like this is a dream, but then I keep not waking up."

[ChristaEinheart]

She sighed a little. Normally she'd have laughed at the 'babe with a gun' thing, but she was concerned for Roxy. "I know, I know..."

[RhineQueen]

Roxy chuckled nervously to break the silence.
"Sorry if I come off a little strong." She said. "It's just nerves is all."

[ChristaEinheart]

She kissed her cheek. "It's ok, beautiful." and then got up. She held the gun at the ready, listening for anything.
