Down and Out in the Big Easy.
Her first thought when she turns face up is that she got rolled somehow. Someth'n ain't stick'n, like where she was last night. Last thing she can recall, the Devil and some big fiery Ghost-thing were talk'n some lawyer stuff over her an' Johnny for what they'd done to save Daddy and that's when the world exploded. She'd like to write that off as a hangover dream, but that big fiery demon thing has a name and its talk'n to her say'n it don't know where they are either. the only thing it knows is the bike's here and this ain't home. Home is gone and now the apir of 'em are stuck in the French Quarter.

"Damn, Roxanne," she murmurs to herself as she flips up the kickstand. "Must'a been some weird highway."

	"Roxanne." She's streetwise and lacks the sense of badassery Nicholas carries with him naturally so she limits her answer. "And yeah, I'm a Rider. Thought ah was it!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A rider?" he asks, confused for a few moments. Trying to answer his own question, his eyes light with hellfire, even though he doesn't shift forms. When he does, the pentagram scars on both hands also light faintly.
When the fires go out, he's more assured, but still has some hint of confusion.
"I'll be damned, and here I thought I was the only one on the job. You must be the cavalry, given what's happened. You been caught up on the goings on?"

	Them scars are worlds of bad news; the kind she would'a run from before she sold her soul. She makes a disbelieving noise. "They don't tell the hick noth'n 'round here, !" she complains. "Just direct me to the jerk that needs to be taken behind the woodshed. That okay by you, Nick?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That'd be ok by me, except we have bigger problems." Normally, his trust factor for a chick with no soul and a demon of her own would be 0. But she's a hot chick, and for once, he doesn't feel guilty about his own state in acknowledging that.
"Some idiot has torn open the gates of hell, and no one is seeing fit to close them. We have a rogue escapee in New Orleans somewhere, but that's only the beginning. Eventually, much as I hate the thought of doing Mephisto's work for him, we're going to need to find out who did this. Souls are escaping all over the place, and much as I hate this job, even I acknowledge there's a good reason most of them were there."
Most - he's well aware of the story of Blaze.

Hey, wait a second...

"Wait, Roxanne... Simpson?"

	She's younger then most of his memories, but the look she gives completely confirms what his eyes are telling him. "Then what are we stand'n around jaw'n for!" She flips her hair back and settles on her bike. "We'll sort you an' me out over tacos after we kick some evil butt!" He ain't Johnny. But he's not as bad as he looks.

"We're standing around jawing because you ain't looked like that for 21 years." he sees what Johnny saw in her.
"You're right though, but this is the Big Easy, we sort this out over beer and po' boys, my treat, soon as we take this first son of a bitch down, but Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do." he replies, before his hands catch fire, the pentagrams lighting first as he begins the transformation.

"Let's ride."
