Jimmy is an addict. Jimmy resembles Gollum, the crack has ravaged his body and twisted him into an impulsive monster.
Jimmy is also jonesing for a rock, and he remembers all the shiny things he saw back when he went to church. Back before his mother died and he lost his faith, back before he worshipped a short metal pipe...

Jimmy comes shortly after sundown, right around the time the cathedral gets locked up for the night. He is wearing a dark hoodie and keeps his twitching hands in his pockets. With his head lowered he comes right into the cathedral...

Hues sits in the confession booth, a revolver in his mouth.  He sits in there mumbling to himself, contemplating his actions.  He never wanted to be a priest, it was forced upon him by his family.  Hearing some rustling inside the church, he quickly puts away the revolver inside a secret drawer under the seat.  Gathering himself together, he says a prayer before eciting the booth.

"He...hello?" he says, his words echoing through out the church.

Solomon is meditating in solitude when his hightened hearing catches the sounds of something up above. Curious who would be wandering into a church at such a late our, he obfuscates his form and goes to investigate.

Jimmys fingers twitch and he snickers to himself. He jumps when he hears the priest. Coughing and pulling his coat closer to his skinny chest.

'Hey..Hey.. man... Uh, you guys do any... Charity work outa here?..'

This man is clearly high or deranged, probably both, Hues thinks to himself.

"There is no money here.  Go home."

Jimmys head jerks left and right. He sees what he believes to be gold everywhere. Host bowls, chalices, crosses... Little does he know its all painted fakes.

'No money... fuck you.'

Jimmy pulls a rusted hunting knife out of his coat and points it at the priest.

'Get on the ground man, ill find it myself!'

Solomon watches silently from the shadow of a pillar, sword in hand. He does not want to reveal himself, if he can help it. Perhaps the priest will handle the situation without him having to step in...

But that junkie might not be a junkie. Was that a tail he saw? Are those yellow, blood shot eyes glowing with an unnatural light? Is that rusted blade dripping foul black poison?

Solomon is not sure. He attunes his gaze to see the man's soul.

While Solomon may not see the mans soul he will easily see the mans intentions. When the Priest ehsitates or tries to calm him down he grabs him roughly by the collar and shoves the rusted knife into the mans gut.

The rusted knife rams to the hilt in the priests stomach, the junkies eyes are wide in a combination of inexplicable rage and terror at what he just did. Its too late to turn back now...

He rips the blade free from the holy man casting blood spatter and onto the tile floor...

Solomon leaps from the shadows, ruining his obfuscate immediately. His haste was so great that he didnt even think to conceal his true form with Mask of a Thousand Faces. He screams in rage, his words coming out as a bestial roar as he charges the junkie.

Solomon's blade flashes in a blur, biting deep into the junkie's knife wielding arm.

Solomons mighty blow cleaves the junkies frail arm like a toothpick. The knife and attached forearm clatter to the floor and the junkie stares at his stubbed elbow, which begins squirting nearly toxic blood all over the priest, who is crumpling to the floor...

The ferocity of the attack leaves the junkie stunned, in shock, and more importantly, at Solomons mercy.

---------------------------------------------------------------
5 lethal damage, no longer has a right arm, and is stunned from massive damage.

Solomon stands over the terrified shell of a man, shaking his sword high overhead.

"Repent fiend! Cower before the glory of the righteous!"

The junkie is frozen. He cant scream, his eyes are as wide as dinner plates and he makes a strange choking noise. His heart races to the point of leaving him light headed and causing his wound to spray like a bad gore flick. His body begins to visibly tremble but he manages no words of Penance to Solomon.

Seeing the junkie immobilized, Solomon's rage subsides and he remembers the wounded priest. He quickly rushes to Father Hues's side.

"Father?... Father, can you hear me?"

Hues does his best to get away from both men, crawling on the floor leaving a trail of blood as he gasps for air. He can hear soloman, but is unable to respond from the ammount of blood he is coughing up.  he works his way twoards the offices to get to a phone.

No, he should of been more careful, he should not have revealed himself to the Priest yet. Sheathing his sword, he holds his hands out, showing that he means no harm.

Solomon calls upon his powers, focusing all his will into his words.

"Father, be not afraid. I am no monster, but a righteous servant of God. Please, let me help you."

((Because it is a pain to switch...))

Hues isn't afraid of what happened, or Solomon, but he still crawls on the ground. He knows he is loosing alot of blood and needs help as soon as possible.  He gaggles as he crawls, his hands beginning to shake slightly.

"Father, you are loosing much blood. You must let me help you..."

Solomon pleads to the priest.

Off behind them, at the start of the trail of blood the Junkie finally succumbs to bloodloss and shock and collapses into a heap on the floor.
