[Todd houff]

<<Due to a minor screw up, there was a bit of confusion.  disregard everything past Nick at the top of the stairs saying "Oh shit."  that's where this post starts off>>   <SoulChaser> The Guardian of Trapped Soul's eyes flashed red at the sight of Nick. "Boyle..." <Julia> "Whoa there flash," Julia put her hand onto his chest.  Body tense but ready if the soulchaser thought it'd be easy to get to Nick - and ready to make it through her if he was intent on it. <SoulChaser> Soulchaser looked down at the hand on his chest, and then up at Julia:: You're protecting him. why? <Julia> She raised her other hand, the one holding the medical kit and showing her wedding ring, dry and almost mirroring times Nick used dry sarcasm "I protect my own." <Julia> "'Boyle'" she added, pointed to herself. <SoulChaser> "I see," Soulchaser responded grudgingly. He wouldn't get to tangle with his favorite mortal again. He steps back and shoots Nick a wry smile. <SoulChaser> "It's a good thing you have a better half, boyle" <Julia> Julia would have blinked at the ease in which he backed down but wasn't about to show any kind of reaction that could be interpretted as weak and so tossed up the medical kit, replying to the Soulchaser with a wry expression "Thank you. I think he's pretty great myself. Why are you here?" <Julia> She didn't know why, because all outward signs pointed to the opposite, but she stated something she felt was true "And you're hurt." <SoulChaser> The wound! he had completely forgot about the wound! Immediately his confidant composure turned serious as he looked at the gash on his leg. Only one weapon could have made it, and, at present, it was not in it's sheath at Soulchaser's side <SoulChaser> Soulchaser reached into the pocket of his tunic and pulled out the tip of Cheron's blade. His eyes flashed red and he snarled as he remembered that Jimmy Boyle was the least of his concerns <Julia> Julia looked up into his eyes, voice low and serious "I'm going to take you to a room so you can lay down. Do not leave it and do not go after Jimmy. We have people here that don't need to see the Guardian of Souls from hell running around here. Come on." <Julia> She turned and started up the stairs, looking once up at Nick to let him know everything was cool for now and then back at the Soulchaser "I hope I don't have to drag you all this way." <SoulChaser> He turned his attention back to Julia and followed upstairs, feeling the pain in his leg, but not favoring it at all. "Your hospitality isn't necessary. I must speak with Alexandria Moreau." <Julia> "Alex is asleep. And about what?" She went to her old room and opened the door, pointing him in and waiting for an answer, curious in fact. <SoulChaser> "It is a long story," He paused to sweep the area for signs of his nemisis, finding none. "and for now, I have time to tell it. Moreau's life, and her afterlife, are in grave danger." <Julia> She looked at the Soulchaser as she motioned for him to lay down "In danger how?" <SoulChaser> Under normal circumstances, he would have preferred to remain standing, but he complied as he was still fatigued and sketchy about last nights events. <SoulChaser> taking a load off might help him remember better. <SoulChaser> "300 years ago, a frenchmen known as Jean Paul L'anfant saught to posses my weapon, cheron's blade. Using methods of ritual sacrifice, he transformed himself into a being of great spiritual power, but before he could finnaly ascend, his house was stormed by athorities" <Julia> "Fun." she commented, waiting for the part that had to do with Alex while she got a blanket and tossed it over him, only to shake her head and almost roll her eyes when the blanket ended a good foot from his actual feet. <SoulChaser> Soulchaser inhaled deeply as he remembered. He knew that telling anyone this information was a breach of protocol, but these weren't any normal circumstances <SoulChaser> he ignored the blanket and continued. "Jean-paul was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death by A judge named Angelo Moreau, he is one of Alexandria's ancestors." <Julia> Julia frowned a little, something at the edge of her mind 'itching', like it was supposed to know these facts but couldn't quite place details.. like she had with the seplicurs "And sentenced to death in which he swore vengence on all that sent him to hell." <SoulChaser> Soulchaser had to smirk a little at that. "Exactly. he made that promise just before he was strapped into the guillotine. After his death, his spirit had been strengthened by the rituals, making him much more than a simple specter <Julia> She looked at the Soulchaser, gaze intent "Stay and rest. I'm going to go find out more about your friend and get the others ready for trouble." Then she pointed at him, meaning what she said as she picked up the piece that had broken off in his leg "Don't go after Jimmy or I'll stick this in a pretty uncomfortable place even for you." <Julia> With that she walked to the door and left, heading first to the bedroom Nick and Jimmy were in then to the others, one by one, before leaving them to wake up and dress as she went to the Control Room.
