Hojo's actions are even more random than usual, as far as I can tell he
1) Goes into a blind rage, upon hearing his really comfortable office chair files are being burned. 2) He immediately stops the rage, realizing he has to go save the papers. 3) He leaves the room 4) He stays at the door way and listens to them badmouth him 5) He gets all rampage-y about them insulting him 6) He storms back in the room and... sits down at his desk 7) Julia vomits all over his paperwork 8) He does absolutely nothing to stop her.
Unless I'm missing something, he never actually went down to floor 66?
Also, when did she set it on fire? She was in the room the entire time.
She tore free the steely sliding metal door, and launched it at Hojo, hard, but mostly out of self- defense.
Ignoring how painful the sentence is, this is not self-defense. Hojo hasn't actually moved yet, he doesn't start his charge until after she throws the door. A pre-emptive strike can be considered self-defense (technically it's justified hommicide), this does not fall
( ... )
I think he does go down there, because when he comes back his lab coat is burned and dirty. He comes back in a matter of seconds, though... maybe he teleported below, saw that everything was on fire and beyond rescue and came back?
After all, I knew of this before it occurred. ::Stares at that sentence:: ::Stares some more:: ::Checks the surrounding sentences for some trace of context:: ::Resumes staring:: What the hell is "this"? This sentence makes no sense at all. The last thing they were talking about was Julia coming to him for help abuse, and him abusing her. Is that what "this" is? Because I'd be surprised if Hojo somehow didn't know that.
"By the way- the 66th floor is on fire."Ignoring what the actual 66th floor is, the implication here is that the entire floor is burning, which leads me to several points
( ... )
What the hell is "this"? This sentence makes no sense at all. The last thing they were talking about was Julia coming to him for help abuse, and him abusing her. Is that what "this" is? Because I'd be surprised if Hojo somehow didn't know that.
The entire piece of dialogue is confusing and painful, honestly. Other than Hojos very relevant point of "bitch had it comin," he repeats himself twice for nor particular reasons then talks about how he knew of something before it happened with no real context given as to what hes speaking about. I will have to say The 67th floor so far has topped all of Slave's other fics in bizarreness and lack of any sense of continuity or coherent narration.
4) She set the building on fire below her! How is she planning on escaping?
Oh my GOD. You are so right. That is Darwin-level hilarious!!! I think this is the penultimate "Slave shoots herself in the foot" moment.
Why? We saw this in SOLDIER, too. If Hojo wants to kill Sephiroth, why doesn't he?We technically get to find out in this case in a later

The door cleanly pierced his stomach, very nearly ripping him into two poles
...Am I...missing something here? How do you rip a person into a pole, much less two poles? With a door? A sliding metal door! Unless she meant pieces, but how the hell can you misspell the word pieces as poles?!
Worthless, good for nothing-but-Oh for the love of whatever it was these human mortals worshiped down here-his files were stored on that level!
This reads really awkwardly and very, very pretentiously. I had to reread it several times to get what she was trying to say, ugh.
She stood belligerently and stumbled over to the desk that the Professor sat at, and presented him with the contents of her stomach Blood and Makou covered the desk, destroying the papers, all of deadly importance.
I know that she vomited, but how awesome would it be if instead she committed ritual suicide all over Hojo's desk? Quick Sephiroth, behead her!

I think the answer lies in an abused thesaurus.
"Poles" is a scientific term for two furthest points on an object (typically an electrically or magnetized object, since that's the only time it matters, but can also refer to organs or bodies), so I'm guessing she got it from a thesaurus and put it in without thinking.
Note, unless you get into quantum physics, it's impossible to split something into two poles, since the bifurcated object would then be two objects each with two poles.
"She stood belligerently and stumbled over to the desk that the Professor sat at, and presented him with the contents of her stomach."
You know, considering how high and might Julia likes to think she is in any incarnation (when not comparing herself to Sephiroth, of course) this is kind of surprising. I would have figured she as too high and might to barf all over something to exact revenge. I suppose her pettiness overrides her high and might attitude.
Also, I'm a little confused as to her methods here. In High and SOLDIER Slave showed no remorse for other characters and even had Julia the psychopathic murderer she is in the Wutai arc so... why all the roundabout 'rectification?' Why burn a single floor down (because that makes a load of sense when you then go to the floor above it)? Julia is super-powered and can tear a steel door off with her bare hands even now. Why not just kill Hojo if he's so evulz?
Then again, what am I saying? That would just kill the faux conflict we have going here!
This is an omnipresent question. Multiple times they have the chance to kill Hojo and acknowledge that Hojo will continue to make their lives a living hell. Yet killing him is never shown as an answer, even when Hojo isn't being presented as the most powerful being on the planet.
