[TASK FOUR] And the Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail

Here's my first go at it, stuff can be changed, blah blah.

---

The Vatican has long suspected Olu Kwaii, rising bishop, of some sort of foul play. The current Pope, [b]Pope Petrus Romanus[/b], is under constant watch. His health is of no immediate concern - which, while refreshing for the Vatican, is annoying to Olu Kwaii, [b]Nubian[/b], and his following. The intelligentsia has found his rise in religion dubious at best, but he has been able to perform medically documented miracles - tumors in cancerous patients simply disappearing after a visit to his [i]Blessings from our Black Savior[/i] estate with no known cause or surgery. Unbeknowst to the Vatican and the rest of the world, [b]Nubian[/b] has actually been accomplishing these feats with control over the [i]Quantum Quill[/i] that becomes more and more refined with each passing day.

The people begin to regard [b]Nubian[/b] with the same status as the Pope, and even with the good health of [b]Petrus Romanus[/b] speculation already begins as to whether Olu Kwaii could become a new pope. At this time, the papacy is experiencing renewed political influence with the world powers, as the Catholic faith itself experienced a great resurgence in those countries, even among the leaders of the nations. [b]Nubian[/b] suddenly begins to work his way through the papal politics, amassing a following within the church with the help of the powers and wit of his former secret lover and current co-conspirator, Mindella, who is carrying his child, and beginning to show her delicate state more and more. With this in mind, [b]Nubian[/b] seeks the help of [b]Nightshade[/b], prodigious assassin, to test the defenses of the Vatican against infiltration, and possibly set up [b]Petrus Romanus[/b] for an 'accidental' seeming death.

Demonic forces began to shift human events in [b]Nubian[/b]'s aid, and this did not escape the watchful eye of [b]White Lightning[/b]. He found resistance too strong to approach himself, so he enlisted the help of [b]The Great Origami[/b], who adjusted the composition of paper to form a Bible - with paper bugging equipment. With this intelligence work, they were able to ascertain [b]Nubian[/b]'s plot to move in some fashion against the Vatican, but their bug was somehow caught during one of [b]Nubian[/b]'s sweeps. This tipped him off to the breach, and knowing that the Vatican shipped in Bibles the previous week, to the source of the breach. The only clue about the nature of the strike that the Vatican's duo were able to ascertain was a code that [b]Nubian[/b] used with his staff: "Jonah 1:2". They needed to save the Pope and destroy the name of Olu Kwaii in time - or the church would fall, and the world with it.

And then there's a bunch of other characters whose JCers don't have their **** together.

EDIT: Added D_G's character

 

Question, if my character is a hairdresser in my bio, how is he a janitor in this?

 

Because Nubian doesn't require hairdressing, he's certainly content with his zigzags. However, the toilets need cleaning.

 

sounds intriguing....

but maybe a few tweaks. minor.

 

Isn't there any romance in this? Every action movie has to have at least *some* romance. Or a rape scene.

 

i had to take a double take on what slg said.

 

I was actually planning for one with Nightshade, since getting her rare use of words provides an easy tool to show intimacy: "she actually talks to lover x! talks!" Nubian was my first idea, but that's after the plot has progressed a bit.

 

So when can we start epics?

 

Can we dine in hell, and initiate full War Rhino capacity?

 

I say we have the movie start, at least nominally, at midnight Saturday board time. That way we all know that after that time it's a goer.

 

During your breakfast of tea and crumpets(running out of British jokes)?

 

Would you like my help? If so, what would you like me to do?

 

The things I'd like you to do....

*stops self*

 

I'm not a piece of meat people!



dogs... all dogs.. and a cat.

 

Boiled eggs?

 

I'm more of a platypus, myself.

 

I was going to ask if you'd like to have lunch sometime!! Jeez!!

 

One should not forget one's soldiers.


-JR

 

Of varying ranks.

 

I've never had a crumpet... am I truly missing something? Should I correct this, or are they not all that great?

 

Crumpets with butter (or whatever your spread of choice is) spread on top, so it melts through, are lovely.

 

There's a tea house not far from where I work that serves pastries / etc from all over... including crumpets. I'll have one Monday morning and give you my review.

 

can't you people sepak normal english? (lol)


(of course i speak american.)

anyway, do you guys want me to make some sort of trailer? because i can. if so, when does it need to be due?

 

That would be cool, but the story probably needs to be completely fleshed out first.

I'm a glo-worm, myself.
