I misunderstood. I've deleted the post. I've pmed a question.

She did not fight him as he pulled her backwards. Instead she used Transform Self again, this time growing spikes all over her body, but especially where his hands were on her, her back, her elbows, and her heels.

 Spikes erupted from Maddie's bloody robe, puncturing through weak points in John's armor. However, it did far less damage that she would have liked and he did not let go.

I give. You win.

When she stopped fighting John did what any good Marine would do. He let go of her hand and gripped the sides of her neck while holding onto her hip. Blood chokes are quick and reasonably easy. "Time to go night night pound puppy."

"Sargent, get your add on the horn and call back, still a code FUBAR and call the Chaplin. This one has the crazy eyes." and then the blanket of foam came down.

---prep for scene change.

 Maddie felt her vision fade as the foam covered her.

 She felt darkness and weightlessness and the overall sense of overheating as she floated along in the stream of unconsciousness.

 She awoke in a padded cell locked in a strait jacket and scrubs. She could see the back of the shaven head of a guard posted to her door.

She got up, which was harder than it sounded without the use of her arm. She walked to put her back to a wall and slid down to a seated position. She focused far hand to open the straight jacket.

 Unbuckling the strap with magic was a fair bit more difficult a proposition than Maddie had considered, primarily because she had no sensory means to determine where which thing was. The only thing she could rely on was whether or not the strait jacket was getting looser or not... however, after what seemed like a considerable amount of time, the strait jacket was loose enough for her to remove it should she wish.

 The pain in her shoulder had all but vanished, replaced with an uncomfortable heat in her shoulder joint that prevented her from feeling anything in that region at all.

 Looking around, the cell was empty and devoid of openings save for the door at the front of the room guarded by a soldier.

use mind mage sight to try and find buckles.

 OOC: Mind sight wouldn't really work in this context since it tends to revolve around the perception of thought patterns. The buckles are unthinking entities so you would not really speed up the process. You still managed to unbuckle yourself though. It just took time.

Does mind sight reveal anything. I figured I would try and see what happened.

With the buckles undone ??? is happy to sit with her back to the wall and allow her Mage Sight to give her all the information it possibly can.

 For now, her only perception was the person standing in front of her padded cell door. It was fortunate that your far hand made little sound because you could tell that the soldier was alert and, where there was one soldier, there were likely more.

 After several minutes, Maddie could sense three more people approaching. He looked to be a priest of some sort. The door opened and he slipped inside accompanied by 2 more soldiers. They were both armed.

OOC: Going to hold here to see if you make a move.

??? sat staring ahead blankly, waiting for them to drop their guard.

The man who wasn't dressed as military was dressed in all black with a small bit at his neck that was a white band. Around his neck and down his chest was a Maltese Jacquard Stole. He had his hands clasped in front of him. "Hello there. My name is Father Bruno." He was a large man with a bald head and a quick smile. "Someone tells me that you have managed to find yourself in a bit of a spot."

She will not make eye contact or speak.

The priest did not move closer, he did not change position, as if he had done this a thousand times. "I saw the videos, did you do that? It was very impressive." He nodded once, "No doubt there is a lot of scary things going on, and given what I have seen I may be able to help. But I need your consent to give you aid."

??? could feel that he was kindly and wanted to help her. She made eye contact and opened her mouth. No sound came out. It was the best she could do, she couldn't say "I can't speak" after all. He needed consent, and she had to figure out how to give it. Perhaps there was a way.

She turned her head, closed her eyes, and lay against him. It was the best she could do, and she felt that he was smart enough to get it.

Father Bruno nodded as he flicked the buckles to her hug jacket. "Could have womped me any time aye? This will take a moment to get everything ready." He started by consecration of the area and of the two soldiers present. Confession for the soldiers was also provided as the rite called for.

"Knowledge of things the possessed could not know, fluent in languages they have never been exposed to, extreme strength, all minor signs." He placed the stole around her neck and in a smooth motion made the sign of the cross on her forehead with an oil that smelled of sandalwood.

He called on Saint Sancus and the Holy Mother.

And then he spilled into a rolling Latin. Reading less from the book and going more from memory than anything.

 Maddie felt her body turn hot and the crawling beneath her skin began once more. She quickly lost consciousness.

 Maddie's eyes began to burn red as she ripped free of the strait-jacket and snatched him up by the throat. "Deciever! This vessel has lied to us! Where are out children?!?!"

 The other soldiers moved to restrain her but they were flung roughly against the wall to each side. The guard outside began speaking on his walkie. "FUBAR, Cell 10! I repeat, FUBAR, Cell 10!"

 However, Maddie... or rather, the thing inside Maddie, had already grabbed the priest by the throat again and pressed him up against the door, feet dangling off the ground. "The storm does not carry! The Herald of Celestial Names signaled the location! The Dragon and the Blue Haired mage lit the way but vanished. Our children are in danger, we MUST find them!!!"

Father Bruno reached back with a Crucifix in his hand and slogged Maddie with everything he was worth. An Old School Priest. "What's the rush? We just got started." He did his best to not stop the rolling prayer, in wild exorcisms when he quit the spirit won.

"There are no kids here. The city has been evacuated."

 When he smacked her with the crucifix, there was the thud of wood against face but it did almost nothing where, with demons, that would likely have sent them into full retreat. This thing simply did not care.

 The soldiers rose almost in unison trying to taze her... but the electricity simply flowed through her and into the priest. She grabbed the priest by the cross hand and slammed him into both of the soldiers, sending them sprawling against the far side of the room. It grabbed the priest by his clothes (in a bunched up knot by the chest. "LIAR! The beacon was lit! The way was set! Out children are here and we must save them!"

 There was more than just hatred in the creature's voice. It wept through Maddie's eyes even as it fought. Tears streamed down her face and onto the priest's robe. "They are suffering! We felt it! The storm does not carry. This vessel deceived us! It promised us! It promised!"

The priest danced the taser jig and flipped and flipped as he was flung around. But he never stopped that rolling prayer.

"The storm scattered the people. If any are left they are in custody. Call to the virgin mother that they may be safe."

 The thing under Maddie's skin blazed with determination. "Then we must find them and make certain that they are!"

 The other soldiers staggered to their feet, firing a barrage of nonlethal rounds into her back. She stumbled and threw the priest into the soldiers, causing them to land in a pile before tearing the solid steel door off its hinges and throwing it at the guard just outside. He barely ducked out of the way.
