Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Clover shut the door calmly and watched Koln leap into the ceiling. She mouthed to him, "How can you do that?"
Then, she walked quickly over to her dresser and pulled out two sets of clothing. One for her and one for Ruby.
She poked Ruby, drawing the girl out of her burrito disguise, and pointed to the clothing, silently telling her to dress.
Then (hoping that Koln was a gentleman and not spying on them!) she began to quickly change and brush her hair.
The outfit that she put on, and the outfit that she had given to Ruby (both of them being of similar size) were old uniforms from her high school. Clover had spent so many years in uniform, that she felt most comfortable while wearing it. Even while attending University, she sometimes showed up to class in her old uniform out of nostalgia.
Both uniform's were the same: a plaid green skirt, starched white button down shirt, and a red neckerchief. However, while she was happy to wear the regulation length short skirt (not quite mini, but not quite knee-length), she had given Ruby a knee-length skirt to preserve her modesty. Then, she gave Ruby a pair of clean white knee-high socks, donned her own, and offered Ruby a pair of black Mary-Janes (which were actually seemed to fit the girl quite adequately).
Nodding at both of their appearances, Clover finally drew a calm breath and led both of them over to the door, opening it and seeing that the detective still hadn't gone away!
"Detective Brandt? I appreciate your consideration. By the way, this is my good friend from home: Sarah Jacques. She's staying with me this weekend and I don't want to leave her alone in the dorm. We'll come now."

Clover panicked inside some more when she found out that an officer was a the door. What's going on? Why is he here? She listened as Clover tried to shoo him away with her brilliant understanding of student law.She thought it worked, but the officer wouldn't give in one bit. Finally, she agreed to comply as long as she was dressed again properly. Ruby was prompted out of her "burrito stage" and into "student stage" ^_^ She liked the new look for a change, she's never worn a skirt before. It was in such a pretty color too and the Mary Janes are adorable.
She followed Clover outside to meet the officer

"Detective Brandt? I appreciate your consideration. By the way, this is my good friend from home: Sarah Jacques. She's staying with me this weekend and I don't want to leave her alone in the dorm. We'll come now." Clover said politely as she motioned to Ruby.
Ruby looked coyly into the man's strange face and then looked at him through her lashes as she nodded in a bow. "How do you do" she said quietly, acting sugary sweet.
 

Through a small hole in the ceiling he can watch what's going on... The thought occurs to him, the Church by now must have realized he's gone missing. This man must have been sent by them... That is it, there's few people he can trust... few things he can trust either, he knows he heard that microwave in the corner snickering behind his back earlier.

He leans in closer for a better look and observes Ruby and Clover starting to change. His eyes widen, then he remembers, no matter how long his teeth might be, he is still a man of the cloth. He looks away, noticing Socrates pressed up against the bars, watching. "Grr.. perverted rodent..." he thinks to himself.
He shuts his eyes in respect and looks away, but listens carefully.
Once things sound fine, he opens his eyes again, carefully watching over them....
 

As Clover and Ruby follow Detective Brandt down the hallway, Clover kept up a light flow of conversation with Ruby (now turned Sarah).
Ruby looked at Clover like she had two heads, until she realized that Clover was merely cuing her in as to her character.
"Oh how rude of me, Sarah! In the excitement of Halloween, I forgot to ask you how your trip from Brooklyn was yesterday? Did your plane leave on time from JFK?"
Ruby was confused. She had heard of Brooklyn. What was JFK? But she played along, "Yes, it ran a little late when it go there, however. Um... by the way, mother and father send their regards."
"Oh, good. And how are your sisters, Rebecca and Mary?"
"Well, thank you. They also send their regards."
"Has Mary lost all of her baby teeth yet?" Clover hint to Ruby: Mary is young.

As the girls leave the room, Koln whispers from the ceiling "Socrates, keep guard of the room... make sure that microwave doesn't pull any funny stuff." And follows the girls by silently crawling up through the ceiling, pressing his entire body up against the ceiling tiles as he slithers, minimizing the sound he's making. He just hopes that they do not do anything stupid and walk outside, or leave the floor for that matter, since it'd be too difficult to follow them unnoticed, he sticks out quite a bit.

Clover & Ruby

You follow Detective Brandt through the hall to the elevator. Once inside the detective tells you "I'm glad you seem to be alright Ms. Edwards. This is such a nice school. I remember when I was in college, I was in the Criminal Justice program at Colorado University in Boulder." The elevator opens out into the lower level. You follow Detective Brandt to the RHD's office and you are at the door when Clover remembers something that makes her already pale complexion get even paler. 'The RHD's office has windows! If we're really vampires we'll be burned alive right!?' she thinks to herself. Detective Brandt opens the door and.....

The RDH welcomes you in. The RHD's office is a small room with a desk that sits in front of a large window, there are book shelves and various plants lining the walls. It looks more like an elegant doorm room more than anything else. The room is not very well lit and you notice with relief that today is an overcast day. The RHD tells you all to take a seat and you sit in the chairs in front of his desk. "So Detective Brandt, you asked me about going up to Angelica's room and I gave you permission. Why are you back here now?" Detective Brandt says "I think she is still in a little bit of shock from the event. She doesn't seem to be in the most trusting mood. Besides, I think you should hear about this too." Detective Brandt goes on to say "Ms. Edwards, Prof. Jones said that you were in the vicinity of East Street when the house burned down last night. Is this true? If so, did you see anyone leave the premises in a Jaguar?"

Koln

You follow the girls through the ceiling until they go into the elevator. You curse under your breath but figure you can probably still get downstairs if you can get into the elevator shaft. You crawl along until you come to a dead end. Everything seems quiet below, you can probably drop down here...
 

"Grr... dead end... I hope the girls are alright..." He mumbles to himself, looking down the shaft. He figures he can probably climb down if he's careful, he's had to do much worse before. He nods and slowly climbs down, his feet and hands on either wall, before reaching the bottom floor. He rips open an airduct and quickly scurries inside as the elevator goes past. He follows the duct, using his new sense of heightened sound, to follow Brandt's voice and heartbeat, soon coming to the room and watching from an overhead vent... Things look ok, but just to be safe he remains there and watches.

As you sit and watch the tile that you are sitting on gives away under your weight.

You fall through and find yourself in what looks to be a bathroom. There are shower stalls and bathroom stalls with a mirror against the right wall and sinks in front of it. A girl steps out of one of the shower stalls in just a towel. She shrieks at the sight of you. "What are you doing in here pervert!"

Taking a calming breath, Clover thought to herself, 'I must manage my words carefully...'
Then, she rearranged her features into a mask of blank innocence, yet still was able to firmly state, "I won't deny that we were on East Street this evening, sir. However, I have no recollection of a Jaguar. We left right after we saw the Fire Department arrive on the scene. We didn't want to be a bother."

After being seated in the room, Ruby's eyes scanned around and was relieved to find out there was no sunlight. When Clover was inquired about the burning house and the runaway Jaguar, her mind raced. 'Could Prestor still be alive? Or is the one who burned the house escaping?!' she thought in her head. She put on a light gaze to prevent them from reading her mind and instead flashed a smile once in a while to seem more normal.
All she knew was that they have to get out of here..somehow
