Vampire: The Masquerade - Who Wants To Live Forever?

The Brewery 2:35am

Tries again

Meredith does a face palm at Koln's first attempt, expecting to see something a little more...fluid.

Meredith tries jumping up herself.

You both make the jump and manage to get to the second level. Below you can see that the smoke has enveloped the entire bottom floor.

Assuming you go up the stairway to exit the building you hear voices when you near the top. One of them is clearly Sheriff. "Ok drop it man!" Another voice says "Seriously? We only came here to scare 'em, we don't have to kill 'em. Besides, most of 'em will get out before they burn up anyway." Sheriff responds "It aint 'bout killin' them. I just want to send 'em a message. Let's see 'em transpire against the Camarilla again after this!"

You hear the sound of wood clatter to the ground on the rooftop and you can smell smoke.

The Cave 2:35am

Clover continued to watch the waitress approach their table, arms crossed and leaning on the table, as she answered Lacey, "Boyfriend? No. But plenty of ******* men in this world have wanted to get their hands on a beautiful, innocent millionaire's daughter. I'd rather just keep my distance from the rabble. So, you're saying what, exactly? That these people are ghouls? Does that mean our undead kin aren't far behind?"

Lacey says "But of course you didn't let them pet you kitten."

Looking around at the people once more she says "No not ghouls, the blood of vampires is not inside them for these puppets are hollow."

The waitress approaches the table. "Good evening, I'm Maureen. What can I get ya tonight?"

 

[izillama]

"Oh boy, hollow puppets..." she said sardonically. At the arrival of the waitress, she smiling in that charming, almost creepy manner of hers, "Good evening, Maureen. A glass of red for my friend. And a glass of white for myself. No rush."

Meredith yells down to the crowd of vampires trying to get out. "Hurry they've lit the roof on fire!" As loud as she can before jumping onto the roof hoping to maybe kick away whatever they through down before it did real damage.

The Brewery 2:45am

Meredith yells down to the crowd of vampires trying to get out. "Hurry they've lit the roof on fire!" As loud as she can before jumping onto the roof hoping to maybe kick away whatever they through down before it did real damage.

When you do get to the roof you see that they dropped a wooden torch on the ground. The fire is quickly beginning to spread. If you are going to try to put it out that will be initiative as the Sheriff's men won't let you do that without a fight.

Maureen says "Certainly. I'll be right back with that."

Lacey frowns at Clover and says "How long do you expect to stay in the theater kitten? I want to see the puppet master and the magician. Maybe he will pull a rabbit from his hat!"

Maureen comes back with the drinks rather quickly. "Here you go ladies. Will you be starting a tab?" She leans in over the table "What are you girls doing here anyway? You don't look like our regular crowd? Not that I'm complaining. As you can imagine, the female gender is rather absent here."

When you do get to the roof you see that they dropped a wooden torch on the ground. The fire is quickly beginning to spread. If you are going to try to put it out that will be initiative as the Sheriff's men won't let you do that without a fight.

Father Koln readies himself for a fight. He looks down at the flames from under his hat as he reaches for his firearm in his coat... only to find Socrates.

*Squeak*

"You're right mon ami, it was foolish of me to leave ze tools behind. I am without my sword against the Devil tonight. But if I may fall, let it not be on my knees. For defeated or victorious, a Christian always acts according to what it Right. This means when hellfire appears, I do not turn my back, but charge bravely, even if God may be my only shield."

"So let us try to put le fire out. ALLONS-Y!"

[sblock]

OOC: So let me get this straight. These guys are looking some other guys, and the only guys who'd really have a clue as to where they are, are the ones they're now trying to set on fire? I know the Camarilla can be cut-throat but dayymn, give diplomacy a shot first. Now they just shat the bed and entered into open war with the anarchs. Didn't think things would go to hell THAT easily or quickly. Great... and our characters are stuck in the middle of this WTFery

OOC: Invoking the Ventrue powers of a fortified stomach! (knowing full well that she will have to throw it back up later)

Clover caught her lip in her teeth as she regarded Lacey, and wondered if the girl was trying to say that there was more to this bar than met the eye. Before she could respond, however, Maureen came back with their drinks. The smell of the wines pulled at Clover's nose, bringing up memories from days long gone by.

She took the white and swirled it by its stem, and slipped the proper bills out of her pocketbook, placing them on the table, "No, just the one drink, thank you. We're here for the show." She said the last part vaguely; was she talking about people watching, or was there actually a show going on?

For appearances, she took a sip of the wine and let it trickle down her dead throat. The juice was bitter on her tongue, and too sweet. It bit and burned, but she was determined to swallow. It tasted like home.

As Meredith comes to the roof she see's the torch. "It's over there!" she points.

Koln pulls our Socrates and says something about tools but than seems to agree to try and put the fire out. Meredith sees the Camarilla, pulls out her claws and makes for the torch.

I do not turn my back, but charge bravely

Clover growls and snaps her head towards the lurker, "Hey! We have a story going on here! You may read, but please do not comment!"

She turns irritably back to her wine and mutters about people overstepping their boundaries and breaking the fourth wall.
