Tom Bombadil 07/25/18 2:15:55 PM #157:	Chrono Crusade, Vol. 1 (of 2) Genres: Gothic By: Daisuke Moriyama Whose fault: Tombolo Today's BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veD_Q9M79bM" data-time=" I don't remember liking this much, but it's possible I made that up, since I bought a second volume and it looks relevant to my interests. Maybe it got too vampiric or weird about Christianity or something. New York, 1928. A ship is under attack from within, and it looks like a nun and Sleepy Vincent Valentine are the only ones who can help. Sister Kate informs us by old-timey phone that stuff is going on in Boston, so there's no backup available. Protagonist McNunface wakes up Chrono (he looks like Vincent and is named Chrono. Hmmmm.) to go to work. She's an exorcist of the Magdalan order, named Rosette Christopher. She shows up and takes over right as a big monster thing comes out of the ship, continuing its rampage. She pumps him full of some sort of spirit ammo (from the box Chrono carries around) and it retreats back into the ship. The ship has a lot of gold from England. Also, the corpses are starting to mummify, so the monster probably ate their souls and is using them to keep the ship running. It "just wants to go back," but we have to resort to a series of trump card kinda things to beat it. After hitting it with The Gospel, the monster turns into a small golden idol, which Rosette gives to Chrono to deal with. Problem solved, albeit with a lot of collateral damage. Said collateral damage sits poorly with Sister Kate, as this is apparently a pattern. Father Remington has Rosette's back though, despite looking like somebody who is gonna turn heel at some point. It is heavily implied that Chrono is a demon or something. We're off to see the pervy old weapons engineer, from whom we swipe an experimental bullet with a demon inside it. Shooting a demon goes about as well as you'd expect- there's a big ol' explosion and the demon gets out and attacks. Rosette takes a hit and Chrono goes a bit berserk. He apparently has some sorta seal on him, and is now in danger of breaking it. Kate is willing to sacrifice him to take out the demon and keep Chrono from breaking the seal, but Remington isn't. Chrono and Rosette have some sort of pact. She wakes up and pushes him out of the way, allowing the others to fire away. Our next mission is undercover at a casino. Rosette is having a bit too much fun with it, but anyway our mission involves Azmaria Hendric, a 12-year-old prodigy singer. Her foster father owns this place, is an evil sorceror, and appears to need her for something. Ricardo Hendric and Lerajie are displeased with the girl's progress, and she runs away. Rosette finds Azmaria a couple of seconds before Lerajie finds them both. Meanwhile, Chrono has been caught by a gargoyle. Rosette yoinks Azmaria and they run away. Lerajie has been looking for Chrono apparently, and is probably a demon or something. Some civilians get injured while we mess with gargoyles, but Azmaria is able to heal them by singing a hymn. --- Look at all those chickens I can be impulsive!
