When you buy with a mortgage, the lender receives a lien against your residence, which is a fancy method of saying they can take possession of your house if you don't make your payments.
By doing this you can lower your mortgage completely or by a substantial limit. A house mortgage is normally the biggest investment and monthly drain on your own personal finances. Still, it is the traditional massive debt the majority of the world's populations have in common.
For the interest of simplicity, let's assume that you're have paid your mortgage by the moment you've retired. While mortgages for state homes are most prevalent in the usa and UK, it's globally popular also. Finding a mortgage may be an intimidating task.
Despite the fact that you've got a mortgage, it's important to not forget you don't fully own your home. Uninsurable mortgages have the maximum interest rates as the lender absorbs the maximum level of danger. If you want to take a mortgage out on a property, you'll have to account for a couple more steps to create your ROI. On the flip side, if you try to apply for a mortgage with minimal debt, your probability of getting approved are higher. Interested? Go to mortgage calculator plus to find out more.
Things just like precisely how much could I borrow to receive a financial loan. If you anticipate repaying the mortgage loan early, you need to keep in mind that APR is not going to signify reimbursement. Business mortgage loans exist to create the cost of such properties a good deal simpler to deal with.
The calculator will give a wide range of home loans that it is possible to review and the period of the loan with the rate of interest. Anyway, Vancouver Mortgage Calculator for payment, you will receive the very best help utilizing mortgage affordability calculator. Calculating your DSCR before you take on a financial loan is a sure means to find out what you are able to afford!
The principal reason that you will require a home loan calculator to figure a financial loan is definitely to choose whether it's logical to enable you to buy a home or continue to rent. The Square Footage Cost Calculator will certainly provide you a friendlier number if you opt to go with a more affordable flooring option, but it is going to also benefit many customers to just choose flooring they can install themselves. It is a great way to determine just how much a new floor will cost you in your home renovation budget, and it's a great way to start a conversation about how to reign in that cost and bring it more in line with the amount you had hoped to spend.
You have the ability to pay any amount provided that you're covering the minimum payment required. Minimum payments are created on your debts until the very first debt is repaid. Even in the event that you pay extra, you've got to pay your usual payment on schedule later on. In the majority of cases you might have to refinance the principal payment. Alternatively, you would need to earn a large one-time principal payment at the close of the repayment period that may lead to an enormous gap in your cash flow.

Best Make-up Removal
Beauticians do not get tired of repeating: correct and regular cleansing ritual is the guarantee of health and beauty of the skin. Make-up remover tools not only remove dirt, but also increase the efficiency of the subsequent application of caring products. However, among the great variety of beauty remedies that appear annually in the cosmetic market it's not so easy to find "yours".
Makeup remover is an important and necessary cosmetics, which every woman who use decorative cosmetics should have. And do not just clean the skin and eyelashes from cosmetics but do it efficiently. How to choose a tool that effectively and, most importantly, carefully removes makeup from the face?

These are conventional pharmaceutic oils: Lavender, Frankincense, Peppermint, Lemon, Tea Tree & Rosemary or specific compositions with various additives and cleaning softener. An interesting idea came from Japan – hydrophilic oil, which in contact with water is emulsified and is easily washed off with makeup.
You can pick up the means suitable for you that will take care of the skin and eyelashes.
Some oils can cause formation of black spots, especially on an oily skin (e.g., almond, coconut). Therefore, the composition must be chosen carefully and thoroughly clean the face of the oil after removing makeup.

Today on the Engaging Missions Show, our guest, Mateo, comes from the University of Florida. He focuses on equipping students to follow the Great Commission and see the world come to know Jesus.
Mateo was born in Columbia but came to the U.S. with his family at age 10 due to potential conflict in the country. His family faced financial struggle. But because of that struggle, the family came to Christ.
During his college years, Mateo faced a significant loss. God helped him through that season and fueled his desire to see the Gospel spread. Now, he follows the Lord's call to make disciples and send out believers all over the world.
What we talked about
Getting to know Mateo
Mateo's life growing up
Mateo was born and raised in a large city in Columbia to an upper-middle class family, his father being a well-off businessman. At around ten years old, however, Mateo and his family were uprooted from their home due to political issues and his father's work, going from a life of plenty to living on almost nothing.
Coming to the U.S. as refugees, Mateo's family struggled to simply get by as his dad took a job mowing lawns and worked other side jobs just to provide food for his family. This was a humbling experience for Mateo's parents, who had previously lived with house workers who would take care of tasks such as cleaning and cooking, and were then having to do those same things for themselves. They also had to face a lack of financial stability as income was barely enough to put food on the table week to week, but God gave them the strength to make it through.
God's orchestration through the hard times
Mateo shares how God used the time of poverty and humility to draw his family to Himself. Through all of the financial struggles and times of not knowing where food was coming from, God surrounded Mateo's family with believers who would help them by giving them food or money. As his parents saw these believers serve and encourage them, they came to a place of reevaluating their faith and seeking Him wholeheartedly.
Although Columbia is immersed in a Catholic culture, his parents didn't really know Him or His love. This humbling experience brought his parents to the feet of Jesus, and as they sought Him, He began to change their hearts and actions to reflect His Kingdom. At first, Mateo saw their acceptance of Christ as a form of last resort, but after two and a half years of seeing change and transformation in his parents' lives, he began to see his need for Christ.
What was a challenging time for you and how did God help you through it?
Entering college at University of Florida, Mateo came as a somewhat immature believer in Christ although he had accepted Christ at 14. While there, he met a girl named Katherine, who was a strong believer, and wanting to pursue a relationship with her, Mateo decided he should get his life together so that he would have a chance with her. As he went to Bible studies with her and got to know her more, he started to grow in his relationship with the Lord as well.
As Katherine and Mateo continued to become closer to one another, they began to plan for marriage. Over the summer, Mateo worked a job in Virginia in order to have enough money to buy a ring to propose, and during that time, a tragic event occurred that wrecked his world. Leaving his summer job to come back home, Mateo took a year off to grieve and process his loss. God used people around him to support him during that time and gave him a verse that reminded him that God knew his heartache and was with him through it.
"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book." - Psalm 56:8 NLT

If you have a question about leadership that you'd like to have answered on the show, email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the ministry
What is your ministry like?
Mateo shares his vision for his ministry, which is to see influential students equipped with the ability to make disciples and plant churches. Mateo works to engage people from all over the world who come to University of Florida's campus and to lead them to Christ. By doing so, those people from other countries can take the Good News back to their homes and reach places that missionaries struggle to access. The dream is to catalyze church planting movements all over the world, spreading the Gospel to every corner of the world. As the ministry grows and learns, Mateo has been able to rejoice at the fruit that is coming forth from this ministry.
Transition from career to ministry
After Mateo's season of loss, he wrestled with God and what He wanted him to do. During that time of uncertainty, he worked at a Exxon Mobil, where he saw many believers who were not exactly eager to spread the Gospel at work. After graduating from college, Mateo realized that there was a need on college campuses for the Gospel to be spread and for believers to be equipped to make disciples.
Because of his difficult experiences, Mateo knew fully the fragility of life, which motivated him to spread the Gospel with urgency. Although there was never a "divine call" in which God clearly said, "Do campus ministry," God did draw and prompt him to stay. Mateo saw the need, realized he could fill it, and decided to do so
How God moved in the Dominican through college students
Mateo took a trip with some college students to the Dominican Republic for four weeks. On that trip, in four weeks alone, 41 people came to know Christ, and those 41 went out and led 13 others to Him. The trip taught the students how to better disciple those around them and how to plant churches
Focus on YOU, the listener
How to see the marketplace as ministry
Mateo shares some statistics of how many people in the U.S. are unwilling to come to church or church events, which reveals the need for marketplace people to spread the Gospel in their work places.
"You are in the trenches, and the people that are around you desperately need Jesus, and if you just look around you, you will see that people are drowning in life, going through the motions."
"They live to work, and they don't know the joy of knowing Jesus."
"Wherever you're at, God has strategically placed you just so that you might tell those around you about His Son and what He did for us."
"Share your story. The world needs it."
"You are in a strategic place to reach those who are far from God."
What does "uninvitable" mean?
Uninvitable people are those will patently refuse to attend any church service or church-led event, even when invited by a friend or neighbor. Although there are many people who have no desire to come to church, there are plenty who are open to hearing the Good News and are in dire need of Jesus.
How should believers in the marketplace engage people from other nations?
"The mission is here!"
"Just by sharing a meal with people, you might be able to develop a friendship that could lead to a new believer in Jesus."

- Upliftingby Brian Ambrose from Australia
Always challenging and encouraging
- Thank youby Biznice Marketing, Inc from United States
Incredibly relevant podcast, doing mission work! Great interviews and thank you for doing this. As a Christian on a mission it can be hard when you feel isolated. We are not alone! Thank you for reminding me of this.
- A Missionary Must Hearby silas2mongolia from United States
I found this podcast by accident while I was searching for another. After listening to just one episode, I was hooked. Each episode is encouraging and challenging in all different kinds of ways. As a missionary, I have been really encouraged by the different stories of people giving their lives for the sake of Christ. I think absolutely that every missionary should listen to this, but also any believer should as well.
- Great podcastby Country_chick4 from United States
This is a fantastic show that I have shared with all my mission minded friends. It is terrific, uplifting, thought provoking, and interesting. I have been greatly blessed and benefitted tremendously from listening to this podcast!
- Interview with Scott McCellandby Steve the horn player from Australia
Thanks Bryan for this encouraging interview with Scott McCelland
- Great interview, Great ministry.by pagaentzy from United States
Every episode is intriguing. The Thanksgiving episode was both heartwarming and challenging. Thank you for sharing. God bless you, your interviewees, and your listeners.
- Great resources and storiesby oldsow from United States
Bryan has a relaxed style, quick humour, and "engaging" style. Every week there is different guest who is serving in a different capicity in missions. You get to hear from vetrans who have spent decades in the field to students who are about to embark on their first journey. They represent a wide spectrum of missional work and church backgrounds. Their testimonies are encouraging and thought provoking. They also add in very helpful tips for missionaries, potentiaonl missionaries, or mission supporters.
- Bryan is a great interviewerby Androwlew from United States
Not only is the content of this show wonderful to listen to, Bryan makes it easy to want to listen to it as he is a great listener and has intriguing questions. I listen to many podcasts, and some of them the podcast host can get in the way of the narrative trying to be told. That is definitely not the case with Engaging Missions. Bryan finds a good balance between asking the right questions, getting the interviewee to go deeper on concepts they know well but the audience doesn't, and allowing the interviewee to tell his/her story. It's a fine balance to find and he does it well.
- Great Podcast!by octavehigher from United States
Great Podcast!
- One of the bestby SteCIr from United States
One of the best podcasts I've listened to. Audio quality is superb, the interviews are engaging, the content is challenging, and the website content is very helpful. Very professional.
- Bryan is a fantastic hostby This is Rammy from United Kingdom
I've only recently came across Bryan's podcast but I found the content to be very refreshing and thought provoking. He not only makes you question what you're doing to benefit others but also what you could do more.The guests he interviews are varied and that helps to keep the content feeling fresh.Thanks Bryan, keep up the great work.Lee
- Great stories and inspiration!by Daniel J. Lewis from United States
Bryan does a great job of pulling inspiring stories from his guests. Not only will this motivate you, but I think it can help open your eyes to the wide field of Christian missions work.I think you'll learn how to better pray for missionaries, recognize how you can support missions work, and discover opportunities to participate yourself!

- Fantastic Podcasts on Disciple Making Movements!by C Huckaby from United States

- Stop By Here for Consistent Encouragementby jph356 from United States
It's no secret that there are more podcast shows out there than we could ever listen to, so from Day One on iTunes, we have to start filtering all the options to find the "diamonds in the rough." I feel that Bryan's interviews with missionaries are at the forefront of cutting-edge podcast ministry. I am deeply encouraged by his ministry of missionary stories and mission education. May God bless you, Bryan, as you continue to serve the LORD and bring him glory!
- Great sourceby J bo from United States
It is such a great source to be able to hear and learn about missions from missionaries. Very helpful tool for missionaries to share what they are up to and how they are serving Christ.

A top immigration official has denied allegations that he deliberately grounded planes at Bangkok's international airport because of a personal vendetta.
"I think it was a misunderstanding," said immigration police commander Pol.Maj.Gen. Suwitpol, in response to the accusation that he ordered a 30-minute delay of all Thai Airways planes leaving from Suvarnabhumi airport on 25 February.
The allegation was posted on Pantip, one of the most popular web-forums in Thailand, by an anonymous individual who claimed to be a Thai Airways employee and a witness of the incident.
According to the posts, Pol.Maj.Gen. Suwitpol demanded to see his wife off at the departure gate, and became angry when he was refused by staff who said he lacked security clearance. In an act of revenge, he ordered all Thai Airways planes to be delayed for 30 minutes the next day, the post alleged.
"It's really shameful that a man of great education and power thinks that was a way to solve problem," the poster wrote. "If you are so powerful, don't only bully Thai people. Try to show off your power at other airlines like Korean Airlines, Japan Airlines, IY [Yemen Airlines]. I want to know if you have the balls to do that."

Mitsuo - FP: 1
Battle-tested reflexes kick in. Mitsuo throws himself against the wall to cut off as many angles of attack as possible. One gloved hand draws a knife from his pocket, the other weaves through a quick series of mudras. When he releases the last gesture, the vampire across the room begins to glow with an eerie bluish light. It's not much, but in the darkness it makes her easy to track. Mitsuo allows himself a tight grin and shifts to meet her charge.

The inside of the church is a wreck. Most of the pews have been smashed into kindling and the dust is still settling from the explosion that took out the windows.
Warden Cole is standing on the dias in front of the altar, his saber in his right hand and an orb in his left. It glows bright blue. The screams are coming from the priest curled up in a ball behind Cole. He's hysterical. It's the same priest from the bar, so it's probably Father James.
The reason he's screaming crawls into view. It's a demon. Roughly human shaped, if the human was skinned alive and had ten inch claws. The demon hisses and a long tongue whips back and forth out of its toothy mouth.
Cole looks up when the door opens. "Get out of here!" he yells. The demon uses the distraction to take a swipe at the Warden.
Licker attacks with Weapons(claws): ++-/ +4 = 5.
The licker demon will fight to the death. Using a modified version of Kalshazzak (pg 34) same stats/powers, ignore stunts.

The Duchess lets out a rough laugh at the glowing effect. "A child's trick." But she doesn't attempt to counterspell it. "It doesn't matter if you can see me, pets." She lunges at Mitsuo.

Mitsuo slithers inside of the vampire's outstretched arm and turns it aside with the rib of his knife. The force of impact with her body sends them both stumbling a few steps. Mitsuo recovers by shouldering the wall, turning himself back and using the rebound force to drive his blade at her, center mass.

The Licker demon is still flat on its back when Hugue's firebolt takes it right in the exposed brains. It shrieks and claws at it's own head before rolling over and growling at Hugues.
Oh my god.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my go-
Wait. Think. Gotta be calm. It's some kind of horrible monster and it's getting up and oh god oh god I'm going to die
No. Calm. Peace. Serenity.
This is a church, right? There's gotta be something around... water! Blessed water? Probably.
Throw the whole thing? No? Way too heavy. Uhm. Demon's looking this way. Oh no. Oh noooooo.
Wait. Cup! There's a cup! Yes!
With a slightly crazed smile on her face, Jenny grabs the cup and fills it in the baptismal water font. A cup! Full of water! Good water! Holy water!
Remember the lessons. Take a deep breath. Extend the arm fully. Check that the bracelet is lined up with the object and the target. Focus. Gather the power, aim and... release!

Ada duSang - FP: 0
While Hugues and Jenny began dealing with the demon, Ada reached for her case. She struggled to keep her breathing calm in spite of the adrenaline pumping through her veins as she drew a blackened knife with a ruby on its hilt, not bothering to take the golden chain that was paired to it. It was familiar to the touch, in spite of not having seen use in quite some time.
Carefully, Ada grasped the knife in her left hand, and raised her right. "Dealing with a monster like this will require power...lots of it. And I know where to find it.". With a quick, precise motion, the knife caused a small gash to appear across Ada's right arm. She ignored the jolt of pain that came with it - it meant absolutely nothing. Not if she got the result she was looking for.
Instead of flowing out, the blood remained contained at a single point as Ada stared at it intently, concentrating, preparing it. Once she felt the time was right, the blood rose up through the air until it was at her eye level, expanding horizontally much further than it could have under normal circumstances. Keeping the spell together was a major effort, but it was something more besides that: It was exhilarating. She hadn't worked with this much power in a long, long time, and the feeling of it was intoxicating. She was in control of it. Absolute control of an ancient, powerful force.
She turned her mind away from that overpowering feeling and back at the here and now. There was work to do. Glaring at the demon, Ada growled. "You don't belong here. You have no place in this world. Go to Hell! Suru Haita!"
The blood rushed forward with the speed and force of a raging tsunami. Panting, Ada watched it as it headed towards the demon with a wicked grin on her face. "Let's see how you can handle this, ugly."
Alright, time to have some fun. Assuming I can tag both the Consequence and the Aspect Jenny has placed down to boost my roll and satisfy the Catch respectively, Ada invokes nine shifts of power, taking a Mild Rush of Power consequence to reflect a slightly frayed mental state, and rolls Discipline. Declaring a Focus Item of Offensive Blood Control +2 here, and Foxxbot's result was --++, so the end result is...+8! This requires taking Backlash, so I take a hit of physical stress. This church is going to get wrecked by the blood blast more than by the demon, I think...

J.R.'s hand flashes to a pocket, and pulls out a cross-inscribed bullet. "Been saving this one for you, souleater!" he shouts as he slams the bullet into into the cylinder and, nearly pressing his barrel into her chest, pulls the trigger.

Duchess rolls Athletics to defend: +/-- +3 = 2... And adds a +2 from "Everything is for Reggie" for a +4.
"I... I can't... believe this..." the vampire's voice is in complete shock from her place on the floor. The lights in the shop come on, and the teenager stares at the two of you with wide, terrified eyes before ducking back behind the counter.

The Duchess is utterly ruined. J.R.'s bullet hit her like the wrath of God, blowing a hole in her chest you can actually see through. The vamp doesn't bleed at all, just lays there on the ground making sickening crunchy noises. Is it laughing?
"I never thought... it would come to this. What would you have of me, pets, in exchange for my pitiful existence? Or will you kill me?"
The Duchess concedes! As she does not have any consequences left, you may request something of her or just kill her permanently instead.
Licker rolls athletics to dodge! ++++ +3 = 7! HOLY CRAP! Licker burns both his FP to tag Relentless Rage and Spawn of Hell to dodge that doombolt.
The licker demon's flesh pops and bubbles under the holy water but it doesn't react at all, simply holding it's crouch and staring forward at the group. Its tongue whips back and forth angrily. It is waiting.

It cocks it's misshapen head at Ada as she slices into her skin. Blood. It likes blood. It knows this kind of magic very well. Ada's bloody attack shoots straight at the monster but it leaps to the side, landing on the wall. It sticks to the wall like a giant spider and roars again.
Surprise round, which in retrospect was completely unneeded, ends.

Mitsuo (and JR) - FP: 1 -> 2 (compelled on Kingdom of Shadows)
JR speaks first. "Look, if we kill her, we can still look around for the book."
Mitsuo shakes his head. Hissing quietly at JR, he says, "I don't think we're necessarily making an enemy if we let her live. At least, not any more than the Black Court are enemies in general."
"How is that an argument for letting her live?"
"If we let her live, she'll remember that we nearly killed her with one bullet, and step lightly. If we kill her, Reginald and friends start knocking down our doors."
"I can guarantee if we let her live we'll have Reggie and her after us. Souleaters don't forgive and don't forget, boy!"
"You can guess that they will come after us. Remember, the Black Court admires strength above all else."
"... Souleaters breed more souleaters."
"But one souleater is a drop in the bucket."
"At least it's a start!"
"Look, we have her in a position where we can use her to get what we want."
"We got proof here that God already knows where they go. Why not move them along?"
"If we kill her, we throw away our advantage and don't get anything for it."
"If we let her go, every dead body she makes from now on is on your head!"
"I've already got more dead bodies on my head than you've got years under your belt, cowboy. Some for reasons no better than this. It won't change how I sleep at night. So unless you've been holding back some better reason, put the gun down."
"Fine! You want to make friends with monsters, go ahead. But I'm not gonna hang around here while you do it!" J.R. slams the gun back into its holster and storms out of the shop.
Mitsuo sighs heavily. Though he'd won the argument, he isn't satisfied by pissing off his - friend? Yes, his friend. On top of that, he suddenly finds himself alone in hostile territory. Not a unique situation but never a comfortable one. He looms over the blasted vampire - at a cautious distance.
"We came to speak to Reginald. There is information that I require - a text on demonology, or some similar compendium of knowledge. With certain specific parameters, which should be discussed alone." He glares at the counter where the kid's hiding, raising his voice with the last few words since his gaze can't penetrate the wood.

J.R. left, fuming. drat fool was gonna get himself and a lot of other people killed, not to mention J.R. himself. Some things God didn't want in this world, and souleaters were one of them. They'd woke up the wrong passenger in this one, and should have just finished the job.
J.R. made a quick detour before heading him. If he was gonna be fighting demons, or souleaters again (and he drat sure was going to), he'd need another bullet or two. He knew a priest that might still be up at night. The bullets wouldn't be as strong as the special marked one he'd fired tonight, but they'd do the job.
Spending my second potion slot to get 2 blessed bullets of Weapon:3, and going to sleep.

"Demon lore? Well, well, who's the bad little pet." She crunches again, and it looks like she's attempting to get her legs under her. "You heard him Steven, go home. And put the gun down. We have an agreement."
Steven appears back over the counter with a double barrel shotgun in his shaking hands. He sets it down and grabs a backpack then runs out the door and doesn't look back.
"Now what, specifically, did you want?"

Hugues' second bolt takes the demon in the shoulder and the fire spreads over his charred and cracked flesh. He falls from the wall and lands in a pile of broken pews with a crash. When he emerges his arms don't seem to be working quite right and he moves a bit slower than before.

That's it. The demon is not going to take any more of this poo poo. His constructed body is in ruins and he is going to kill that tiny fire-throwing nuisance if it's the last thing he does. His tongue lashes out at Hugues like a bullwhip.
Licker attacks! --+/ +4 = 3. Hugues defends @ +4, Licker misses.
Warden Cole (FP:1->0)
Cole smiles grimly. It looks like he was worried for no reason. The little group has proven resourceful and smart. The holy water was a stroke of genius and one he intends to take full advantage of.
Cole's orb glows bright blue and the water on the demon's skin begins to boil. It shakes like a dog, throwing scalding hot water everywhere. Cole steps back but not before getting splashed on the arm.

Mitsuo - FP: 2
Mitsuo watches Steven all the way out the door. Once he's gone, he walks over to the counter, speaking as he goes.
"Well. There is a demon, or some other dark denizen, which has been active recently, and seems to have a fondness for certain human parts. Specifically, eyes."
He hits the break release on the shotgun, folds it open, and pockets the shells before discarding the empty weapon.
"So, I am looking for several things." He ticks them off on his fingers as he goes. "One. Demons et cetera which draw sustenance or power from human flesh and eyes in particular. Two. Spellcraft describing the magical properties of eyes. Three. Spells and rituals that use eyes as materials. And four, any other significant historical mention of enucleation, perhaps as torture, punishment, or initiation rites. It is a long list, I'm afraid, but I am sure you can satisfy some of my curiosities."
While Mitsuo speaks, he continues to look around the shop - while of course keeping aware of the supposedly disabled vampire on the floor. The place is dingy, even run down, but there must be more to it than is immediately apparent. He wonders if it might be a front for the entire Black Court presence in New Orleans, or just for this Reginald and his cadre. And... come to think of it, Reginald himself is a bit of a mystery. Mitsuo turns to the Duchess again.
"And on a more personal note, I should like to hear more about yourself and this Duke Reginald. Your Court is quite insular, not the least because you tend to eat people before they can spread their stories."

"Eyes, eyes and more eyes. You are too narrow minded, pet. The eye is a focus, an... aiming mechanism, if you will. You need to have power of another source before the eye will do anything at all. I have only one book that would interest you. It is behind the counter, the one bound in black leather. As to my court and my husband..." It creaks with laughter. "Go gently caress yourself."

Jenny Hirsch - FP: 1
The demon was still moving! Injured, but moving. This shouldn't be happening, it's a demon! In a church! Doused with holy water! And it was still moving?
Bad. Very bad. The cup? The cup wasn't enough! Not enough holy water. Maybe there's something more holy than holy water? Holiest water?
A lot of holy water. That's the ticket. Where can I get more? I could fill another cup... no! Not enough. I need more.
Lots more.
...tons more.
Like... a stone fountain filled with holy water?
Yes. That big.
With an entirely wordless, moderately hysterical and only slightly intentional cackle, Jenny moves to the side of the baptismal font, arms extended. Jenny spins back towards the creature and moves into a softball pitcher's stance, arm winding up and revolving twice before turning into a vicious underarm throwing motion.
The font twists, bulging out from the wall in resistance before tearing loose from the attachments and flying through the air, directly at the demon's head.

Mitsuo - FP: 2
Mitsuo shrugs off the insult. Ducking behind the counter, he selects the indicated volume and tucks it under his arm. "As you will. Let me just give you one word of advice." Before exiting the shop, he throws the last words over his shoulder.
"Choose easier prey."
|# ? Mar 2, 2012 05:25
The fountain flies through the air in a lazy arc. The demon attempts to dodge but its been cooked, boiled and served for dinner and the stone lands directly on its head with a sickening crunch.
The demon's body twitches for a few seconds before going still. It melts, the constructed form no longer able to hold itself together.
Warden Cole (FP: 0)

Hugues Turner Fate Points: 1
Hugues stared at his apprentice in pure awe. She...threw the baptismal font? The entire font? Jesus Christ, he missed being able to do that.
Cole at least knocked him back to reality. "Uhh...yeah, I can do that, I've got a cell." He starts to step out, and takes a moment to look at all the destruction. "Such a shame the water-heating system under the baptismal font blew up. This looks like a nice church."
Once he was outside, he waited by the cars and turned on his cell. As he waited for the drat thing to boot up, he started wimpering. He hadn't quite mastered fake crying yet, but he could simulate the sounds close enough.
"Y-y-y-yes? Nine one one? Hello? Something blew up at our church, everything's broken and there's water everywhere. Father James is hurt real bad, Auntie says we need an ambuwance..." It killed him on the inside to butcher the English language like that. "Please hurry, Father's a real nice man, I don't want him to die! I don't want him to..."

Jenny stares hard at the ectoplasm. It was probably dead, right? Sure.
It takes a minute for Cole's words to percolate through to Jenny, but she shakes her head to try and clear it. "What? Oh. Yes. Hold on, I have a first aid kit in the car."
It only takes a minute to go outside and return to the priest with the fully-stocked kit. He... doesn't look good.

Father James is unconscious, which is probably a mercy. His right hand is completely gone, sliced off at the wrist. He's been bleeding for a while now, and the carpet around the altar is soaked with it. The cut is so clean that it must have been made by a blade. There is no way that monster's claws did this.
He's gone into shock already. If the bleeding isn't stopped immediately he will die, and even then his chances are slim.

Jenny Hirsch: FP: 2->1
The wound is... bad. Very bad. And clean. Jenny's eyes flick towards Cole's terribly sharp sword, then back to the task at hand. No time for that now.
"Cole! Put pressure on this, I need to grab supplies."
Jenny tears into the first aid kit, pulling a tourniquet, gauze, and throwing some hastily-applied gloves onto her hands. No blood clotters in the kit, damnit. This would have to do.
"Keep the pressure up! He's lost a ton of blood already, we're going to lose him if we can't stabilize him long enough for the ambulance to get here."
The tourniquet goes around the wound, but it's no good - blood is still oozing out, far too much to be healthy. Cole hands Jenny an ice pack from somewhere and she slaps it on, frantically applying bandages and gauze to the wound to try and get it to clot.
"Damnit... damnit! Clot, drat you! Clot! I'm not losing you here!"
Rolling Scholarship to try and slow/stop the bleeding. -+-/ + 4 = 3, spending a Fate Point to invoke Vet with the Magic Scalpel to bring it to +5. The good father survives another exchange. Next exchange I get a /-++ +4 = 5, +2 from Cole's ice assistance, for a total of 7.

Warden Cole (FP:0)
Cole looks around after handing Jenny the ice he conjured up. The church looks like it's been hit by a bomb. This is not going to be easy to explain. Father James is still in bad shape but he's not looking any worse at least. The sound of sirens gets closer.
"We need to move him out front." Cole says, slipping his arms under the priest's shoulders. "Ladies, grab a leg each. Kid, get the door."
It takes no time to get Father James outside and lay him down at the top of the steps. The ambulance arrives and it takes only a few seconds before Father James is loaded up. The water heater explosion story gets a few raised eyebrows but one of the medics compliments Jenny on a job well done. "You saved his life, ma'am." he says. When Jenny wants to go along the man shakes his head. "Family only." Then he closes the door and the ambulance rockets off, sirens blaring.
Another set of sirens is drawing nearer. The cops in town are pretty useless, but explosions aren't something they can ignore.
Cole sighs. "I for one have no intention of hanging around for mortal authorities. I want to talk to you three back at my office." He rubs at his singed arm, slightly embarassed. "Can I hitch a ride?"
Minor Milestone reached! Do your refreshes now and note any changes made. This is a good time to contact JR and Mitsuo and pool information/get them back into the group.
Congrats you've saved the warden! Morgan-meter adjustment: Ada -1, Jenny -1, Hugues -1. Cole rolls contacts to see if he heard about Reggie's. ---+ +1 = -1. Cole has no idea what happened at Reggie's. No change for Mitsuo and J.R.

"I hope he'll be okay..."
Jenny turns to Cole as the sirens get closer, briefly glancing down at his sword again before returning to his face. "Uh. Yeah, sure, I'd be glad to give you a ride. Hmm. Well, Hughes needs to sit in the front, the back seat isn't safe for him. Do you mind riding in the back with Ada?"
Kicking around stunt ideas. Someone with a phone should ring up Mitsuo and J.R.
|# ? Mar 2, 2012 08:44
Ada duSang - FP: 1
For a moment, Ada was ready to refuse - something in her gut made her feel bad about spending more time in close proximity with the Warden than strictly necessary. Maybe it was an inbuilt mistrust of authority from her earlier years. Maybe it was an odd hunch. Whatever the case, it was there and it didn't feel good, not at all.
Then, she shook her head and nodded. Cole had saved Father James' life from the demon until they had arrived, and he'd done his part in putting the beast down. There was nothing wrong about him, nothing to deserve that suspicion...and besides, Hugues and Jenny couldn't exactly mince words with him like that. She nodded. "No problem."
The journey to Cole's office left Ada feeling a little lightheaded. As the rush from the power channel wore off, she started to shiver a bit - it took a lot out of a body to bring forth as much energy as she had. In fact, there had been some absolutely spectacular discharges that night. She wasn't sure whether to feel pleased about how quickly Jen and Hugues had pounded the demon into mush, or worried that it had come to ravaging the church that badly in an effort to put it down. There wasn't a point in worrying about the consequences, because they sure as hell were coming, and probably hard. Holding her head on one hand as she felt the beginnings of a headache coming on, she looked at Cole.
"Great opening nights for the new job, huh? Can't say I envy your position. poo poo chose a pretty great time to hit the fan."
|# ? Mar 2, 2012 09:10
Warden Cole (FP:1)
"I'm starting to think it isn't a coincidence." Cole replies, leaning his head back and rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Not my being here but the official end of the war. Someone's making a play for the city, now that the Reds are gone. I just wish I knew who."
Cole notices Ada shiver and takes off his light jacket. "Here." he says, offering it to her. He doesn't need it right now anyway, too warm from adrenaline. That was the first time he'd fought a demon to the death. He wasn't at all certain that he could have killed it alone, not while protecting Father James. Polly's Death Curse had been ringing in his ears as he stood on the dias.
If it hadn't been for these three, someone would have died back there.
|# ? Mar 2, 2012 09:31
Ada duSang - FP: 1
Ada's expression softened a bit at Cole's gesture. Maybe he was the sort of decent fellow New Orleans had been asking for for quite a while. It was too early to tell, but little details like this one were the sort of things to watch.
Cole's words jogged Ada's memory, though - J. R. and Mitsuo had been at the parking lot, and if she knew them at all, they had probably done some investigative work of their own. She made a note of asking them once they were done talking with the Warden. No sense in making a mess right now.
"Nobody trusts a Warden." She said, bluntly, before quickly adding, "Must make things hard. Everybody who might know something is too used to hearing stories about greycloaks kicking doors down and brandishing a sword to lop people's heads off. And the ones who aren't too scared to talk are probably the ones that go scaring people when the sun goes down. Did the Captain set you up with some friends, or did she just hand the city over and left you to fix the mess?"
|# ? Mar 2, 2012 09:46
Warden Cole (FP:1)
Cole winces. She isn't wrong. Hell, last night in the parking lot had been the textbook example of why no one in their right mind trusted a Warden. But Cole just hasn't been one long enough to fall into that mindset yet. He is a little worried deep down that it's going to get him killed.
"Well for not trusting me you sure saved my rear end back there. Thanks for that." He pauses for a second, wondering if he should say anything further. "There's been no White Council presence in this city since Katrina. Friends are something I'll have to make on my own."
|# ? Mar 2, 2012 10:10
Ada duSang - FP: 1
"This is a good start." Ada said, nodding. "Helping the Father will spread out some goodwill, if nothing else. Will take a while to earn people's trust, but you gotta start somewhere."
After a moment, she spoke again, her voice a bit quieter. "Way I see it, there wasn't much of a choice back there. You were trying to help the Father with the Big Nasty, and we were around to help. Maybe you'll bite our heads off someday, but I'll take a maybe over the hundred percent chance of that demon." She smirked, humorlessly, before continuing. "Besides...you can't walk away from something like this. If you run away after hearing screams and watching crystals explode like that, you'll just keep going back to what you could have done once the news roll out about the people you left behind because you were too scared to help. And I don't leave people behind." There was a quiet intensity to Ada's last few words. What she had said before was sincere, but this was something more: it was a part of her, something she so deeply believed in that it had been internalized completely.
"Your name's Cole, right?" Ada said, looking at the Warden. "'m Ada. Pleasure to meet you."

Hugues Turner Fate Points: 1
When the ambulance left, Hugues pulled out Nazarene's cell phone and dug through the contacts list. He remembered Jenny and Ada mentioning a Sula woman, and he assumed she had some kind of leadership position. She was also probably Informed. As he called her up, he got stuck with her answering machine; probably for the best.
"Hello there, this is Hugues...uhhh, you probably don't know me but I'm a friend of Jenny and Ada whom you spoke to earlier today. We left to see Father James and uhh...look, things were bad. Supernaturally bad. I'm not sure what happened but when we got there the church was a wreck, and Warden Cole was there with Father James. James is currently at *insert local hospital name here*. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured you should know as soon as possible. Bye."
poo poo, more sirens? Hugues pulled out his own cell-phone and quickly called up JR and Mitsuo, leaving identical messages for both of them.
"JR/MITSUO! Umm, can't talk much. We're on the way to Cole's office after we saved his rear end from a demon. You two might want to head over here too, and let us know what the hell you've been up to. Bye."
With the messages done, Hugues quickly turned off the two phones and pulled out the Portable Veil quickly running to Jenny's car. With the Veil wrapped around him, his own vision was blurry and he ran straight into the side of Jenny's car. He opened the back seat door and used a finger to lift the veil enough so he could see clearly. "Oh, hello Warden. Uhh...front seat." He then ran around to the other side, rushed in and only once he was finally buckled up, took off the Veil. "I called Sula, vaguely let her know what happened, since I don't know how informed she is. JR and Mitsuo are going to meet us at Cole's office. Anyway, the cops are showing up, go go go go go!"

Warden Cole (FP:1)
"Richter, actually. Cole is my family name. Nice to meet you too." He wondered what had happened to the young woman to inspire that kind of focused dedication.
"Turn here Jenny. Yeah, the red brick with the big window."
Cole's Office is a a 2 story brick building. It must have been converted from an apartment at some point. There's a set of stairs leading up near the front door, presumably to the bedroom/bathroom. The office itself is spacious with two large windows on opposite sides letting in natural light. Cole's desk is under one of the windows, and there's a stand holding his grey cloak next to his chair. He unstraps his sword belt and hangs it on the hook next to the cloak. A small kitchen is behind one wall.
"Come in, everyone. Anyone want some tea?" Cole asks, heading for the kitchen and throwing a pot on.
The Warden is out of the room for a few minutes if you want to talk alone.
|# ? Mar 2, 2012 18:45
Mitsuo - FP: 2
Rounding the corner, Mitsuo digs out the keys to a battered grey Subaru 1000. The engine turns over on the fourth try. While rumbling across town towards Village de L'Est, he cracks open the book to glance at the pages. Nope! English would've been too easy. Definitely nothing Asian. It might be German or Yiddish, but his German is pretty weak - mostly "Good morning!" and "DROP YOUR WEAPONS" - and some of the characters are... wiggling. Writhing, really. Let's just close that.
The 1000 pulls into the driveway of a plain concrete-and-vinyl building. The windows on the first floor are all barred, and the reinforced doors were once green but are now mostly rusty red. (Festive.) Gothic print over the peephole reads
Mitsuo pulls three keys to deal with the heavy bolts. Once inside, he re-bolts the door, hangs his keys on a hook behind the surplus steel desk up front, and heads for the stairs. The second floor is marginally less severe than the first; two large rooms and a bathroom, divided with cypress-and-paper screens into smaller living areas. On the wall at the top of the stairs, visible from below, are hung two curved swords in lacquered red scabbards, underneath a picture of an Asian gentlemen in heavily decorated military dress.
FORWARD THINKING LLC Security Consulting and Protective Services
The book is placed carefully on a low table. Mitsuo proceeds to the back room, removes his coat and tie, and opens a large steel rotary-dial bank safe in the living-room area. Vapor pours out of the front, pooling on the floor. Mitsuo emerges with a Pepsi. He closes the safe, cracks his soda, and goes to work on the book.
Lore +3 -//+ = +3. Guess what? German.
Well, at least it's not Aramaic or something. That would be silly. Mitsuo glares, frustrated, at the pages, until his ancient black rotary phone jumps and rings. He closes the book and picks up.
"Hugues, I-"
"Umm, can't talk much. We're on the way to Cole's office after we saved his rear end from a demon."
"But th-"
"You two might want to head over here too, and let us know what the hell you've been up to. Bye."
Mitsuo stares at the handset for a moment before replacing it in the brass cradle. His first thought is to bring the book along for Hugues to translate.
His SECOND thought is that this is a SPECTACULARLY TERRIBLE IDEA, bringing demonic grimoires into a Warden's office. He takes another disgusted swig of Pepsi and slips the book onto a nearby shelf, between Xenophon and Clausewitz. Grabbing his jacket, he downs the soda, neatly places the can into a recycling bin downstairs, and fires up the 1000. (Second try! Not bad.)

"Uhh, yes please. Something unsweetened please, they feed us way too much sugar at school."
Hughes sat down at the table and laid his head on it. Fighting demons could wear out a child fast. He looked at Jenny and Ada, and kept his voice down. "If Cole asks anything about my background, let me do the talking. If I tell something that contracts our history, just shut up, and smile and nod."

"Gonna pull a fast one on him." Ada said, nodding. "Got it, but don't spin too big a yarn here. No point in lying more than the strictly necessary right now." She understood Hugues' need to keep his cover up, but thought he might be acting a bit paranoid.
Then again, she wasn't trapped inside a ten-year old body. Maybe he had a point.

Warden Cole (FP:1)
Cole returns from the kitchen with a stack of 4 styrofoam cups and a steamy pitcher of hot tea. Noticing the lack of chairs he sets the pitcher and the cups down on the desk and pulls open the closet under the stairs, grabbing two metal folding chairs and setting them up quickly.
"Sorry, haven't had anyone over yet." He says, pouring the drinks. "Anyways, I imagine we have some information to swap. Trust being at somewhat of a premium here, let's keep it to an even exchange. A question for a question." He sits down and sips lightly. "As you are my guests, you can begin."

Hugues took his cup of tea, and sipped it. Ooohhh...this was good stuff.
"What are we now, Fae?" Hugues asked, raising an eyebrow at the even exchange of questions. "But alright, I've got one. How did that demon get in the church in the first place? Churches have powerful Thresholds, and I find it hard to believe that you invited the demon in."
|# ? Mar 2, 2012 20:01
Warden Cole (FP: 1)
Not a faerie then, Cole thinks, watching Hugues carefully. The kid is too competent by half.
"I just like to keep things professional." he says. "Do it my way and everyone walks out happy. As to your question: It didn't look like a horror movie monster when it showed up, and it wasn't alone. The priest invited two young men into the church. One of them was that thing Jenny squashed in a human guise. I thought Father James was clued in. He wasn't, or wasn't before last night anyway. I only got to talk to him for a few minutes before ugly showed up, but he was pretty deep in denial about everything he'd seen at the Rising Sun, and he didn't know about the rules of invitation."
"My first question is this: How did you know to come to the church?"
Compel on Jenny's "Ingenue's Intercession" to be a little too open when answering this question!

J.R. awoke late in the morning, his nighttime adventures having cut into his sleep. The first thing he made was a ward, to alert him if anyone but one of the maids came in. He slipped on an inscribed iron ring and meditated in this room for a moment, extending his senses throughout the room. When he had it solid in his mind, he sent it into the ring. Now if anyone came to mess in his the room, the ring would rust and he'd know it
JR then spent his usual few hours watching TV in the hotel room - it was important to learn more about the time he was in now. Hughes' call comes while J.R. is in the bathroom, but he listens to the message and nods to himself.
Talking to the warden, huh? Well, perhaps he'd see if this Cole fella was someone to ride the river with and go kill some souleaters. And if not, well, he could at least get some information from him. J.R. added his Super Redhawk to his carry. With souleaters mad at him, he'd probably be glad to have it. He headed out to find a cab.
Making a ward (0 strength, +2 for an alarm, +2 for keying the alarm to an object). If anyone other than one of the maids comes into the room, the ring rusts. Also I'm changing my Pickin' Time aspect to The Man Comes Around. It covers both JRs religiosity and his reputation.

The tea is rather good, if a bit less sweet than Jenny usually takes it. Maybe Hughes does have a point with all that moaning about how much sugar she puts in it...
"How did we get to the church? By... car? We drove here in... oh. We visited the prayer circle of Mother Sula earlier, and she gave us the priest's contact information as a possible lead. We thought he might have been part of the Compact, some kind of demon-banishing organization."
Jenny sighs and puts down the teacup, steeling herself for a question she isn't sure she wants to ask. "My question is this: What happened to the priest? Specifically his hand. That cut was way too clean to be from a claw."

Cole raises an eyebrow. He's heard of the Compact but only the name, nothing specific. He'll have to make some phone calls later.
"It wasn't a claw, it was a machete. The priest invited two young men inside and they walked towards the altar. They talked for a few seconds then the first one shook his hand. When the priest tried to pull away the young man pulled the blade out of his coat and took the priest's hand off in a single stroke. I tried to intervene when I saw what happened and that's when the second young man changed into what you saw. I don't think they wanted witnesses."
Cole thinks for a second before asking his second question. "Why are you involving yourselves in this murder investigation?"

I have enjoyed being introduced to many new and exciting activities and having many new experiences. Surprisingly – I can now hit a golf ball! I would like to thank all of the instructors." (Max, age 11)
'Coach the Coach' Programme
"Scott has taken me through accelerated learning and 'Coach the Coach' programmes and has enabled me to improve my teaching and delivery style to wide range of my students from the recreational sports person, UFC Mixed Martial Arts Professionals to the elite 'Master Level' trainer. Scott's interpersonal and unique approach to coaching truly puts the theoretical knowledge into immediate practical use. "

My water heater is leaking. What should I do?
If the heater is leaking from the bottom of the tank, it's probably time for a replacement. If it's leaking from a relief valve or other connection point, we may be able to repair it. Also, if it's leaking from the relief valve, your water pressure might be too high.
