**It's noon and the lunch crowd has just begun to seep out from the many shops and office buildings to seek out the cafe's and small islands of greenery to enjoy a cup of joe. The warm midday sun is curbed by an easy breeze of the Mississippi and the milling crowds amble along in a mix of short sleeves and busines suits**
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 9:18:29 AM)
*He as always armed to the teeth with his machette, knife, and dessert eagle had jsut finished setting up the lunch meal for the soup kitchen and decided to go for a walk and see what the Holy trinity had as a sign or omen for him. What ministries they would have for him to help better other sinners.*

** Traffic is pretty light and sluggish, reflecting the tone of ythe day. A guitarist players for the silver he can muster though it's a bad time of day while further down the street, the mouth of an alley between Starkey's bar and the GETWHITES laundry begins the trade early as two white skins both in wife beaters and low hung jeans, look for customers with brazen appeal "want some rock man... hey dude, youn looking for rock?;. AS you head down toward the church, you see a woman shambling with a shopping trolley, her cart loaded with a mix of rags, bags and a few kittens mewing in a box. Across the street, a girl of maybe fifteen looks furtively about in a skirt four inches two high and a aT-shirt two inches two short, smiling at the older men who look to be alone for their break**
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 9:25:20 AM)
*his eyes take inall that is going on. The sinners sining, the needy doing things to better themselves, and his heart twinges in pain for them. If was for these people and those that walked blindly around them that he did his sermons. it was for these people the Holy trinity did call to. *
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 9:28:20 AM)
**Ahead of you, a middle aged man steps out from a bookshop awning and holds his hand out such that you cannot help but walk straight into it. Dressed in a woolen tweed suit, brown with matching shoes, pants, and tie, it;s only the white shirt that offers hte difference between man and comfortable sofa. He carries a paunch and smiles from a careworn face that verges on suggesting one too many key lime pies** Afternoon friend.. have you heard the word?
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 9:29:09 AM)
*he stops and looks at him with a smile* whos word, Which word?
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 9:30:59 AM)
**His eyes alight along with his smile** The Good word son. The Good word from the Good book. I've seen you preaching and I have to say, you have a fire in you, but a fire is only so good as it's fuel.
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 9:31:53 AM)
*nods and smiles* THe word of the Holy trinity is truth. there is nothing better then truth. for the soul will cry out and speak the truth.
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 9:37:17 AM)
**His hand is still on your chest and for just a moment, you think you feel a heat eminating from his touch jut before he takes it back. He looks into your eyes and his expression doesn't seem to match the painted smile... his eyes look deeper. When he talks again, gone is american street preacher and instead, is something richer and more New England** You believe you have a calling Christian Walker But instead you have been called. The communion you seek on the dirtied streets was merely a testing of your faith and earnest nature... Those who truly seek Gods service must face fsr greater challenges
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 9:38:29 AM)
*ods* I have been in the fire and I will be tested again and again as Job was tested. I iwll not curse the Holy Trinity I will not turn from them.
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 9:42:38 AM)
**His eyes are clear and blue and full of peace. He smiles and as he talks, you cannot help but feel the moment shift between you. Te street about you almost fades away, so drawn to this man's presence you become. To talk to him is to be in the audience of a saint and when he speaks again, each word is a missive of love; a parable of wisdom** You're road is not and never will be curse'd Christian, for you wlak in the path that the Angels have fortold for you. You feel you are alone and yet, even now, the might and rage of heaven gathers as the storm rose over Egypt and the Ark came forth to lay them waste. The might and Rage of angels rush to deliver you unto HIs Kingdom as a servant of his right hand

**His voice becomes the only voice you here, the street is nothing but a sielnt river that flows about the two of you** I have come that you are saved and that you will save. I have come as the first messenger, and through me, a holy covenant seeks to prepare you for your first divine trial.. Close your eyes Christian, and I will open the way
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 9:48:41 AM)
*he is lost in what to him is a prophecy a promise from the holy Trinity for him. The omen he seeks is upon him. SO he closes his eyes and raises his hands in praise to the Holy trinity as the words are given to him and the way is shown*

**Noone seems to pay much attention to the pair of you, even as a black transit van pulls up along side on the sidewalk. The Serene man guided you toward the van as the panel slides open and the two figures inside reach out and sharply pull you within. YOU feel foggy and loose. You're aware of the inside of the van. You're even aware of the cool cotton hood that is pulled over your face. You hear the van dor sliding shut and are jolted back as it pulls away at speed, just as you pass into a sweet unconsciousness**

**You feel cool air on your face though your shoulders ache a little though when you open your eyes, there is little light to speak of. Voices mutter somewhere behind you, though they are muffles, as if in another room** and I told you Brother, that we would wait until Father Morrigan had returned. This was rash
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 9:55:52 AM)
*he does not move at first feeling his surourndings as he cries within his mind for strength. Slowloy moving his wrists and tries to move his legs checking to see if he is tied up and to also listen*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 9:55:53 AM)
'The conclave has spoken Brother. Father Morrigan travels from Venice and does not understand the immediacy of our troubles. We have watched this man for weeks now and he has been marked, that we know for sure. Father Villalobos has felt it or he would have never befirended him
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 9:57:10 AM)
*hearing the fathers name he stops moving and just listens his heart beat quickens. what was this. what conclave did they speak of and from Venice. from the Holy city.*

**You find yourself sitting on a simple wooden chair in what looks like a warehouse of some kind. The roof is badly damaged and sunlight spills into pools at odd junctures around you, giving enough light to show the height of the celling and the large closed steel service doors to the far end of the warehouse. They also create many dark corners. You are not tied down, but you're wrists are sore enough to suggest you may have been**

**The office door opens and a stranger heads down toward you. Late twenties, early thirties, he appears around the 5'9 mark and has a shock of blond ruffled hair. His apparel however stops you in your shoes, as while he wears blue denims and combat boots, he also wears a chain mail surcoat and a light brown robe over his shoulders. He looks to you and smiles a little** Then you are awake. Good afternoon Mr Walker.
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:06:16 AM)
why? *is his only words. with so much in the question. He was taken. If they are whom it seems they may be I would have come willingly without trickery.*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:08:51 AM)
**He continues down the stairs and as he does so, you note that he also wears heavy leather gloves, girded with chain and at his hip to the left is a sword scabberd, to his right, a Browing hi-power** I am Avery. Brother Avery of an order most men will never hear of. Most people on seeing this get up I'm wearing would laugh and ask if I knew it was to early for Halloween, but... but *he smiles* you are different. I knew *he holds up a gloved finger* that you would straight away jump to the conclusion you have done
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:09:52 AM)
*he stands there letting him speak stairing at him. letting his question be fully answered*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:12:47 AM)
**A scraping noise from the heavy streel service door and sunlight floods the room. The black van pulls in and stops, three dark suited men of good build exiting the vehicle, though making no moves to approach at this time. Avery continues** The Order have been watching New Orleans for a while now and it has come to my attention that you have scant days to live. Ordinarily this would mean very little in the grand scheme of things, but you have attracted a very particular kind of attention
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:13:36 AM)

Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:14:35 AM)
Demons want me dead. *he says calmly then glances at the other then back to him* But how have i earned the honor and blessing ot have obtain the notice of the sacred orders of the church?
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:18:07 AM)
**Avery smiles** The Mother Church notices very little in this age Christian. Though it hurts my heart to say it. The creation of the Vatican was not on holy orders, but was merely the politicking of men who would be kings. The true orders were almost uniformly destroyed centuries ago and few of the true faith remain. YOu earned our notice, because while the Church don't sanction our existance, they accept that it is only for that reason that we may act as we do

As you have not been inducted to our order, many things are forbidden to share with you however, while we of the order have been called together, we work under the name Blackwatch. Blackwatch has been a silent arm of the church since world war two, though the Order itseld goes back centuries
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:31:33 AM)
*nods and listens*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:33:18 AM)
Christian... Evil walks among us it's true. Satan's agents do indeed walk this earth and known to Blackwatch, is that in order to do so, they walk in human skins. Here, in New Orleans, a cadre of such Demons exist and seek to pervery the destiny of humanity
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:34:01 AM)
*nods not one bit surprised he has been preaching that for months now. He knows they are here and can point out two even now*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:34:48 AM)
**he indicates the chair and beckons to one of the others by the van, who brings over a white plastic chair for him. Avery thanks him with a smile, unbuckles the heavy sword belt and sits, now with his hands rested on the pommel before him**

Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:37:10 AM)
**He takes off a heavy gaunltlet and runs his fingers through his short hair. You note a deep and angry scar that runs form index finger, up into his shirt sleeve** We seek soldiers of faith
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:38:31 AM)
I do not mean we are looking to bring you into the order, few are ready or willing to live the strict life we do and make the kind of sacrifices me must. I mean we seek allies ot our cause, allies we can aid in thier fight against evil
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:39:11 AM)
what must I do to join?
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:41:38 AM)
To join the order would mean spending the next ten years in isolated training and scholarly learning *he smirks* but to aid us, you will accept our burden of knowledge and accept to become the protector of man, rare as diamonds in a world so shy of Faith
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:44:27 AM)
We ask that you protect Father Jesus Villalobos at all costs, from harm. This is no light task, as he is a shining beacon of faith both ot his community, and to the many that will take Faith from him. It would become your holy mission and in accepting it, Blackwatch would aid you as we can, in gifting to you some thngs that might aid you in your mission
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:45:05 AM)
*nods* with my life I will gaurd him and may that some day I will be honored to join your ranks.
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:47:43 AM)
**Avery nods a little** Should your actions prove your heart and should you live to take pious orders, then perhaps. We have gathered, the full conclave of Brothers that are Blackwatch and have agreed that you have both the conviction and the right of Destiny, that you should at least be given a chance. However, this you must know first
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:48:12 AM)
*he listens to Avery's words *
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:49:37 AM)
The Church has outlawed the Martial Orders, both for fear that they shoudl become corrupted, and also that we become mired in the same dark sorcery of those that we fight. You must never speak of us or your association with Blackwatch less they brand you heretic as they have branded us of Gods Loyal Armay

Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:53:29 AM)

Legion (Sep 2, 2011 10:58:20 AM)
**The two remaining at the van move to the side panel and between them lift an ornate wooden casket. Between them they carry it over and set it down between you** In 1386, Jerome du Dauphine was Lord of Château d'Albo and knight protector of his lands.It's said that when he led his army against Norman loyals, he was struck down by a sadness on the battlefield and called to his men that they should hold
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 10:58:54 AM)
*he listens*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:00:26 AM)
He held up his hands as he surveyed the bloodshed and said "we are all as childern before the lord, and surely I can offer him no more blood of his sons this day, when we shoudl instead war to the glory of our Faith, not the Glory of Kings" and in that moment, the battle was stilled and all fight left every man. They simply turned and quit the field
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:00:35 AM)
**he opens the case*
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:00:58 AM)
*listens then glacnes at the case*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:02:51 AM)
**Within the case is a mail shirt and heavy leather gauntlet** This is what remains of his armour. It is one of our most sacred belonging, as we have worked to safe keep those things that the Lord has himself blessed and breathed his fire into
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:03:36 AM)
*he looksin awe at the Items shown*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:04:25 AM)
Christian, these things are both Holy, and very dangerous as they are proof positive of Gods love and existance. Such things would muddle the minds of lesser men. They would blind the minds of hard science and damage the Faith of those who do not have the eyes that we... that you have
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:05:19 AM)
We give them to your keeping until such time as you desire to return them, *he looks into your eyes so there can be no mistaing his meaning* of such a time that you are unable to
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:06:01 AM)
*he nods feeling he is not worhty to be in the rpessence of such things to holy and a tear brims his eyes his voice chokes* I am not worthy of such a blessing * a tear rills down his cheak*
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:06:31 AM)
((rolls down his cheek))
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:09:49 AM)
**Avery reaches to you, putting his hand on your shoulder** You're piety only proves your worth brother. The mail will turn the heaviest of blows, though the power of the dark one is power indeed and will give you time to flee as well as stand; remember that. The glove will lend strength to your arm such that you have never known, but again, will not always prove the difference with those we strive against. Use them wisely and well. We all fight such that we may fight another day and THAT is more a sacrifice than merely giving up your life **he smiles**
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:11:55 AM)
*he nods and in awe reaches for these sacred artifacts of a Saint he was not worthy to stand in the shadow of as tears roll down his cheak . * I will protect the father and use these Items wisely as spoken. ...*his voice is choked up from the honor of what has been blessed to him.*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:15:19 AM)
**Avery nods and stands slowly** We endanger you as much as you do us by spending too much time together, however, we will meet again. **he raises a hand and gives a quick succession of firm, one hand gestures that send the others into activity. Some move to the van, while another is walking about, spiiling the contents of a petrol can about the base of the stairs**
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:15:43 AM)
does the father know of theorder?
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:18:17 AM)
*he takes the items and slips them on under his garments for safe travel and keepings for now then slips his coat on over it all to include his weapons and places the gauntlets into the inner pockets*
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:18:23 AM)
He does not, and would not understand such things. Jasus is a simple man of great Faith. he is also an old man, and shocks such as this might prove too much for his old heart. That is why a guardian is so important
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:19:34 AM)
*nods* then whom can I turn to..to get my weapons blessed? I am not a priest for this I have not been given the right of heaven to bless weapons.
Legion (Sep 2, 2011 11:23:12 AM)
The father will bless your tools for you, if you explain to him your desire to protect him. Knowing of demons and knowing of magical artifacts of the past are two different things
Christian Walker (Sep 2, 2011 11:24:22 AM)
*nods* thank you. I am sure you already know but I am staying at the church as the grounds keeper.
