(Just adding this to show where Jim is at the moment, like me, he is obviously really shaken at how things have turned out)
Picking himself up with the aid of the pew in front of him, Jim looks up at the scenario in front of him and his mind nearly snaps at the sight before him. There laid Jason on the altar, still and unmoving, the dagger plunged into his chest all the way to the hilt. A cold twinge slowly crept over Jim and the muscles grew tense as a panic overtook him.
His jaw involuntarily locked shut, clenched so tight he could hear his teeth grind. It also felt as if his tongue was swollen and his throat was constricting to the point he could even swallow his own split, which was now acidic in his mouth. He breath was quickly and shallow, he felt lighted head and was grateful for the grip he held on the bench, which was the only thing that kept him standing.
Pulling against the muscles of his own mouth, Jim screams out Jason's name, his voice haggard and trembling. Slowly, his perspective widens from his panic stricken tunnel vision, and he could see Bella, Farrah, and James come into view from his side. They were all staring at him, shaken. He must have looked like a lunatic too them, hyperventilating, teeth bared, his eyes undoubtedly wide open, hunched against the pew.
Going from Bella to Farrah, Jim looks to them both for an answer. How could this have happened? How could they all have failed Jason so terribly?
As he looked on, Jim saw the glow of red light approach behind him. He turns and sees the angelic being approaching from out of stained-glass window from the front of the church. It was coming to claim it's precious innocent blood, to claim Jason and bring the end of this world.
A part of Jim didn't care anymore, let the end come, nothing else mattered now that Jason was gone. However, another part of him thought of Farrah and Bella, and even James, they were still alive and he didn't want to see them die along with Jason, and it was this latter part of him that pushed him along as he moved from pew to pew until he finally joined them at the altar. He clasped Jason's hand in his before letting go to stroke back Jason's hair from the boy's forehead. Without turning to the others, Jim asks, "Where do we go from here, huh?"

James watched, gripping his seal tight.. with this new Halo and his seal, he figured he had a chance at something... he had to try. Because... he was sick of it.... oh god he was so sick of it. He started making his way up to the alter, gripping the seal tight. He was sure there was enough blood in it.. it was still fresh, afterall. He glanced at Jim, giving him a stern look. "... If I live..? You fucking owe me." He walked straight up to Jordon and pressed the seal into his face, keeping an eye on him and the angel. Jim was with Jason so he didn't have to worry about that as much. But He had two problems here that needed to be dealt with. First Jordon.. and if the angel did nothing else, he'd figure out what to do with the angel next...
"Can't someone just grab that damned halo!?" he shouted, mind running quickly.. that could potentially disrupt the ritual. He wanted that tested, atleast. While he worked, not after. He would stamp out Jordon and get his sword back. From there he'd just have to figure it out.

AS GM
I will wait for King of Dogs to post his action before I post the results.
As for Farrah, I can't as GM tell her what to do since it will give away the answer, or can I have her to the wrong action and lead you guys astray, since no one told her about the Rituals or the Relics she will be idle unless someone addresses her directly.

OOC: (I'm honestly not sure what to post. We'd been formulating a plan via PMs, but I didn't really know we'd came to a conclusion, and if so what I should post from Bella's perspective as an example. I avoided this post for a day or two trying to think, but came to this conclusion. I seriously don't know what I need to post. Guys, feel free to pm me...I seem to have missed something.)

AS GM
I won't post the results until the three remaining active players has posted an action, so far James is attacking the Jordan victim with the Seal (and will shed more more blood if needed) to completely stamp out the victim and recover his Sword of Obedience. Jim is with Jason at the Altar, but he has not committed to an action yet.
As for Farrah, any player can send me PM (addressed to Farrah) proposing what her action may be, I will act as any player controlling a character in this instance, but I will not propose any action since I know the possible consequences for each action.
There is an answer to the predicament, and it was mentioned earlier in the game by the various source material that I provided, this not an impossible situation.

(Hi! Sorry to have been absent so recently, but I've been facing money trouble and my internet has paid the consequences. Since I won't be able to get on as often for a while, I offer Jim up to kingofdogs to control him after this post.)
Kneeling by the altar, his eyes blury with his tears, Jim stops stroking Jason's hair and buries his face into his arms. His son was dead and the world as he knew was slowly approaching it's end. Farrah sat frozen, unsure of what to do or say, only standing close to him to offer some comfort. James was heading to the impaled Jordan, burning red relic in hand, attempting to melt the bastard away. The angel would undoubtly not be happy by this attempt and try to stop James before he can finish.
If James was successful, would that save them? Would it save Jason? It was just as possible as it was unlikely, but it the angel stopped him, it would be for not. Slowly Jim got up from the altar and touched Jason's brow one last time. Looking to Bella, Jim says "Protect him if you can, try taking the Halo that James is scremaing about... I... I really did care about you too, you know?"
And without another word, Jim quickly pulls himself along to where Jordan laid and stood between him and Jordan as James did his thing. With Jason gone, he didn't feel like living anymore and if this plan of James' failed they would all be dead anyway. But as he stands there next to James, he sees that he holds another relic with him, a Blue Halo. "Perhaps that Blue Halo should be replaced with the red, yeah?", Jim says somewhat dreamily, "I remember reading about it in one of those books, it's suppose to be a big no-no to use it on the angel ritual, right? How about using it first if Bella can remove the Halo? It seems kind of pointless to shut him up now, Jordan, I mean... Besides if that Blue Halo can counter the ritual wouldn't you need Jordan's annoying chanting to keep it going?"
Jim says nothing more as he stands guard over James, watching as the angels approaches.
(If Jim lives, King can take over until I can come back online. Also after this post, king can change any actions I have just made if he feels they are folly. Just don't change who Jim is, okay?)

AS FARRAH
Farrah snaps out her trance, and trying to keep her mind off of the impossible situation that she has been placed in. "I can, I will remove the Halo." She runs to the Pedestal and shields herself from the glowing red beacon, "When do I remove it and who has the Blue one?" Jim places himself between James, and the approaching Angel "Jim? What are you doing?! Get the hell away from that thing!"
The pews and walls that the Angel has passed quickly rot and decay, it is getting closer, its eyes are on Jason.

OOC: ((Silent and I are exchanging PMs currently discussing possible outcomes, and I've sent a suggestion to Bogey as well. Still hesitant to post something before I've got it all straightened out. Just wanted to update you on my progress Vio, so you don't think I'm just sitting on my hands.))

(well... xD I hope this is what you were referring to Vio... I had thought about it earlier but then I thought "well that could be a trick and TOTALLY wrong" but hey. what's this game about if not taking risks right xD)
James wasn't sure... the ritual had said "never the blue"... whether that was for the angel's protection or their own he wasn't sure...... It really all came down to this moment right? All came down to what HE did.... if this was the key to it... he was LITERALLY holding it..... and now... he didn't know if it was the right one. It could make everything worse. If Jim and Bella, or even Farrah, were to die, he'd be at a loss.. Jason was gone anyway.. and he didn't need him. He NEEDED Jim.. and at least one of the women. He looked pained for a moment, debating what to do, before thrusting the Blue halo out to Jim. "............ do it. But if you kill us, I'll fuck you up SO bad.."

As Jim: Jim turns his tear streaked face toward James, and weakly reaches out to grab the blue halo from his grasp.
As Bella : Bella stood in place, almost rooted with her jaw clenched shut. Unsure what to do...they'd been too late for Jason. And this might end it all anyway.
"Hand it to me Jim...I'll remove the red one." She looked extremely saddened in that moment, and turned toward the altar.
As Jim: Jim tried to shake away the fog that clouded his judgment, unsure what the best course of action was here...or if there even was one. He nodded briefly and handed the seal off to Bella.
As Bella: Bella sighed...tears streaming down her cheeks. But she then attempted to remove the red seal and switch in the blue seal, as fast as possible.

Bella replaces the Red Halo of the Sun with the Blue Halo, a dull blue light light emits from the Pedestal. James is able to stamp out Jordan's head and shoulders--interrupting the ramblings of a dead man--however, the Relic stops glowing, without hesitation James cuts himself again to give the Seal of Metatron more blood so that it can finish dispelling the Victim. James begins to feel light headed as he stamps out the last of the Victim. The Angel passes over Jim and James and the floor, pews, and objects around them start to decay. James's armed with the Sword of Obedience rises up,but he is too weak from the blood loss and faints. Jim backs away, the smell of decay fills his nostrils, as he begins to feel weaker, the hours, days, weeks, months that they have spent in Galves begin to wear on him, all of those days without sleep, constantly filled with adrenaline, he can feel it now, his body is crashing. The Angel passes over the Pedestal where Bella and Farrah stand, the weakness and fatique overwhelm them, muscles and bones ache. The smell forces Bella to dry heave, since her stomach is filled with only acid. Bella's memories come rushing back to her, particularly the scent of her past are coming back, she steps back and slips on the stone floor as it is eroding away. She sees tears streaking down Farrah's face, who knows what she is seeing. The Angel descends on Jason, it gently removes the dagger, and kisses him on the forehead. Eosphoros places his hand on Jason's chest and the boy begins to burn. His hair, clothes, skin, blackens then peals, revealing the anatomy under it: bones, muscles, tendons; becoming incinerated. The blue flames travel up the Angel's arm. At first the Angel's light becomes stronger, then overwhelming, the others try to rise up against Eosphoros but they cannot approach his brilliance. Only bones remain of Jason, they too are being consumed in flame, and they continue to burn until nothing remains. The Angel then makes his accent to the heavens to sound his trumpet, the blue flame surrounding him, purifying him, it burns away the corruption, and the church also becomes restored, the stone and wood restored to its original state. Light fills the cathedral, it is day again, and the characters are no longer artificially afflicted with horrible memories and thoughts. The blue fire however has never disappeared, after it purifies the Angel, it begins to consume it, but it does not notice, the Angel continues its accent as the flames slowly take it apart. The cathedral darkens until the burning Angel is the only light source left then it disappears. There is no more light everything is dark, eventually Farrah lights a match and begins to search for candles around the cathedral. There are only four large candles and they are around the Altar. There is no trace of Jason, only the Ivory Dagger remains on the Altar. Farrah feels the walls with her hands in the dark, eventually she returns to where she started, feeling only smooth stone, there are no doors. The Altar is waiting. Jason has died. Jim has Major Wounds, he is Active. James has Major Wounds (blood loss), he is Active. Farrah has Moderate Wounds, she is Active.
