Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[izillama]

Clover and Ruby stand for a moment in silence, both of them keeping to their own thoughts.
'If they didn't find a body, how could they call it a murder? Why not just call it arson?'
She saw that Ruby was also thinking deeply about something, too, but she didn't want to ask what just yet. Both of them had been through a long morning and actually felt quite tired.
Vampires shouldn't be awake during the day, but what with the dreams it could not be helped.
After a moment, Clover smiled at Ruby, recalling how the girl had wanted to see the University, "Ruby? Since I assume that Koln's a big boy and can take care of himself, and since there's no shred of sun outside at all today, would you like to accompany me over to the College of Business? It's a five minute walk from here, so you would get to see some of the University. Professor Jones... um... Vince from last night... wanted to talk to me at some point, and I know that he has office hours now. Do you mind? You can go back upstairs and sleep, if you want to."

At last the interrogation was over. Ruby's was deep in thought about the whole chain of events that went on earlier. 'Blood..oh no.."
She shook out of her thoughts once Clover asked her to accompany her to a tour of the College of Business. Delighted, Ruby hopped up an down real quick like an overgrown pup and nodded her head. "That would be wonderful!" Who would sleep at an opportunity like this.... : 3

At the press of a button small bolts of lightning shoot out of the two prongs of the tazer. Tumnus jumps back,"Truley amazing!" he says. "A device that can summon lightning! Surely this calls for song!" Tumnus goes over to a dresser that stands by his bedside and opens a drawer. He produces an aulos, a flute-like instrument with two pipes. "Ah, here it is! I wonder, what to play..."
[/sblock]

He pockets the small tazer, looking at the Satyr with a bit of confusion... he is obviously a heathen... so he should die, or so his instinct tells him. Instead Koln just shakes his head, "I'm sorry, I do not mean to be rude, but Socrates needs me back in reality, so I would quite like to take my leave now..."

At the College of Business

At last the interrogation was over. Ruby's was deep in thought about the whole chain of events that went on earlier. 'Blood..oh no.."
She shook out of her thoughts once Clover asked her to accompany her to a tour of the College of Business. Delighted, Ruby hopped up an down real quick like an overgrown pup and nodded her head. "That would be wonderful!" Who would sleep at an opportunity like this.... : 3

Even with the icky weather, Clover still found the campus of the University absolutely lovely and picturesque. This had been one of the reasons that she had chosen to go there in the first place. The buildings were old and stately, the air was fresh and clean, and the mountains loomed majestically in the distance. The only thing, if one will recall, is that Clover wasn't too fond of the darkness.
To give Ruby a treat, she took the girl on a roundabout route to tour the campus. The entire time, the sky remained steely and they kept getting pelted with raindrops every now and then.
The entire time, Ruby skipped along beside her like a puppy. 'Hm... Ruby's normally so calm. But when she gets excited, she really bounces off the walls! I wonder if she was always like that, or if that's a product of her being a vampire? Just like how I'm now throwing out profanities left and right...' She laughed inwardly.
Seeing the business building up ahead, Clover tried to strike up a conversation with Ruby. She realized that she had been rude and didn't know anything about the other girl at all! She kept asking herself questions that she hadn't bothered getting answers to.
Glancing kindly at the Almish girl, she smiled, "Ruby? I haven't gotten to ask you yet. What part of the country do you come from? And, only because I was wondering before, how old are you?"

University Of Denver

He pockets the small tazer, looking at the Satyr with a bit of confusion... he is obviously a heathen... so he should die, or so his instinct tells him. Instead Koln just shakes his head, "I'm sorry, I do not mean to be rude, but Socrates needs me back in reality, so I would quite like to take my leave now..."

Koln

Your words seem to cut deep into Mr. Tumnus's fit of joy. He all of a sudden looks very dejected. "I'm sorry sir.", he says. "I just love to play my flute though...if you would hear just one song I promise to let you go back on your merry way."

And you can thank the girls for not coming to check on you

He sighs and nods... "Ok.. I apologize for my rudeness... one song then sir, but then I really need to get back."

From the start I knew those girls would be the death of my character, especially Clover.

Glancing kindly at the Almish girl, she smiled, "Ruby? I haven't gotten to ask you yet. What part of the country do you come from? And, only because I was wondering before, how old are you?"

Looking all around, Ruby was astonished by the timeless beauty the buildings held as Clover gave her the tour. Compared to the cold and stagnant city buildings of Denver, these buildings seem to hold more life as if they emerged from a life-size painting.
At one point they both stopped and Clover asked her some questions with a smile about where she was from and how old she was. Ruby twisted her hair with one hand, she wasn't used to talking about herself as much, but she was glad this is only an informal questioning as opposed to the stressful interrogation earlier.
"Well, I was raised in a village in Wisconsin. Very rural and slow compared to the city life here. We would do the Lord's work in our chores and prayers, then settle with our families at sundown." She then smiled at the next question. "I am twenty years old, one of the youngest of 8 siblings.. I guess I will forever be that way even though I was transformed not too long ago."

She stopped between her thoughts again and gave her a serious look. "There's something I must let you know. I was aquainted with Jacob Prestor beforehand... He.. was my sire.." Gritting her teeth she continued. "He met me in a club during my Rumspringa when I was 16... Rumspringa was a time when we were allowed to enter society and decide if we wanted to be apart of it or return to the village forever.I didn't want to abandon myfamily, so I chose to stay there.. Jacob traveled to my village after my 20th birthday and embraced me.." Her eyes drifted into sorrow "The he abandoned me, leaving me to figure out how to survive..Somehow I think my bloodline trait as a Gangrel let me figure things out quicker..I've traveled to Denver in hopes to find out why he chose me of all people to do this..That's when I found him carrying you two over his shoulder.." She shook her head. "Being so new to this experience, I didn't know he would involve you two until it was too late, and we all ended up in the basement," she concluded. Ruby bowed her head awaiting Clover's reaction to her confessions.

 

[izillama]

Clover allowed her face to remain a blank mask as she took in what Ruby had said to her. Honestly, half of the terminology Ruby had used on her was completely over her head.
She shook her head, "Sire? Embrace? Gangrel? I'm sorry, I don't understand, Ruby."
Then, without thinking, and almost too offhandedly to seem friendly, she spoke again, "But honestly, Ruby, this guy left you to fend for yourself without giving you any clue as to what you were doing or why he had even turned you into a vampire in the first place? That doesn't sound very responsible at all! Why would he do such a thing? Especially to a girl as nice as you? Ruby, I know that his guy was important to you, but in my book it seems like you don't owe him a thing. If anything, he owed you! I don't see why you went out of your way to even try and find him, if he treated you that horribly to begin with. And kidnapping me and Koln is unforgivable!"
Clover then actually found herself getting angry. Almost violently, though she was able to control herself as she spoke through gritted teeth, almost whispering, "Unforgivable. This man made the us into vampires. A man as nice as Koln? An innocent young woman? Me?! Our lives are ruined because of this bastard! If I ever see him... if I ever meet him...!"
She couldn't even finish her thought. What was her thought? What could she do? What could be done?
She felt helpless.
A pawn in a dark, evil game.

Ruby never thought about what Clover had said earlier, "In my book it seems like you don't owe him a thing. If anything, he owed you!
The anger started to cringe the back of her spine as well, but she tried to stifle it. "The last thing he told me was that he was finding a cure for vampirism...But now I am starting to question if we were nothing but guinea pigs to a scientist instead of something more..."She tried to hide read tears. Suddenly something gurgle from deep within her diaphram that could be distinguished as a deep low growl. It sounded like a motorcycle being reved up. Her eyes burned bright green. She clenched at her head and tried to stifle herself again, taking in deep breaths.She has finally reached a revelation.
"I agree that if we ever find him again, he will have to answer to all of us..."
The she calmly looked into Clover's eyes once more. "We should probably check on Koln, he is probably worried about us.."

Clover heard the low growl in Ruby's throat and found herself staring at the girl pointedly, but remained quiet.
At the suggestion of checking on Koln, she shook her head, "Like I said before, Koln's a big boy. He's probably as tired as we are. Maybe he even went back to bed. Either way, you can go back if you want to. I need to speak to my Professor. Especially..."
She hated the thought!
"If we can't be in sunlight, this might be some of the last light that I ever have the chance to be in. I might as well get my confrontation with Professor Jones over with now. Whether or not you come is up to you."
