Vampire: The Masquerade - Who Wants To Live Forever?

Clover: She looked over the seat at Meredith, finally putting the woman on the spot, "What did you two get up to last night, anyway? As you can imagine, Koln was less-than-helpful in his description of last evening."

"Ah! But now I see why you are confused. You do not know what happened last night. Well, as the four leafed one asked, Meredith will explain!"

Before she can speak for herself, Koln hurriedly takes off his left shoe, and peels off his sock. He puts it over his left hand, hastily scribbles on two eyes and ears with a sharpie, and begins explaining through the puppet, in his best "Meredith" voice.

"Bonsoir! Er wait.. how do gangrels talk... Oh, that's right Socrates. *ahem* le bark! Well you see, we visited Smiling Jaque aboard his pirate ship, and got chummychum with ALLL of his salty crew! We even got to meet le damned soul. However, there were NO Gangrels there, so I was sad. However, Father Koln did inspire everyone to persevere on le Christian path through his example and courage. As he fought the sixty-six demons of the torid fifth circle of Damnation with le pirates, there appeared fire, and ze whiley-birdy..." He slowly stops his puppet show at the increasingly annoyed visage of Meredith-er the real, non-sock, version.

"Oh uhm... you may continue..."

Meredith can't help it and finally laughs at Kolns antics. Looking to Clover, "I think I'll start from the beginning again. We meet with Jack and a few of his "friends" at the location. I did get to meet and talk with another Gangrel for a little while." She emphasizes while eyeing Koln," But before the meeting really got underway this vamp calling himself the Sheriff barged in, threatened the whole group saying they had kidnapped or killed some Camarilla or something and when no one gave him a satisfactory answer to his liking he set the place on fire. Koln and I got to the roof, found him and his men there having just thrown a torch onto the roof and we all proceeded to duke it out while I also tried to keep the torch from making the place go up before everyone else got out down below. In the end we got almost everyone, but the sheriff got away in a helicopter and the one ghoul we had to question fell of the roof and died before we could. That's whose license that is." Meredith pauses."We're not sure if the sheriff was acting on the princes orders or of his own accord, but we were not able to really tell where the helicopter went." Meredith finishes looking at Clover for any questions.

Clover locked eyes with Meredith, her cool gaze searching for any sign of deception or malice. Finally, satisfied, she shrugged a little and looked back at the manor. So long as Meredith could learn her place, she might be useful to their little group. Maybe.

She spoke to Meredith, even while not looking at her, "I wish someone had been able to relate that to me last night. That would explain a few things. And I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check out that ghoul's address either, after this." She motioned to the card, momentarily remembering the Texan ghoul who still had yet to join her from Denver. While she could see the use in utilizing Mindy for some things, she could never think of the young woman as disposable. Who were these people in the helicopter that would think to put a mortal, even a ghoul, in such danger?

She looked at Lacey, "Well, what do you think? Victoria suggested you might know how to get in there, being you. Tell me, are there many Malkavians in this city who might have the same knowledge?" She almost voiced her concerns about the possibility of there being anyone lying in wait in the manor, feeling less-than-eager to come face-to-face with an asylum reject in the dark.
 

"The four-leafed one is right." Koln admits, putting his sock and shoe back on, then holstering his firegun.

"I would think to enter any home, the best way would be ze front door. However, if we do that, we will be caught completely by surprise by what's inside and expecting us. Since, God has seemingly Willed it that I appear here before le ghoulish home, we are to proceed with caution. So here is le plan. Listen closely."

"Lacey, I want you on all fours, over there. Clover, you ontop of her. Green Marie, you ontop of Clover. Socrates, ontop of Green Marie. Green Marie, ontop of Socrates. St. Paul, ontop of Green Marie. And I will climb over all of you, and make my way to le chimney. There, I will slide down, with all of God's Holy Fury! I will catch Beelzebub completely by surprise! For tonight, I will make like Santa Claus and see to it that this will indeed by a Silent night, and HOLY night."

OOC: Ah, the sound of awkwardly chirping crickets...


"Uh huh... Or, we can ask Lacey how to proceed, since she seems to have known this guy... Just a thought, Koln."

Meredith just looks down and shakes her head than looks up at Lacey wearily.

Lacey looks over at the empty space to her left "Yes, Lacey how do we get in?" She then looks at the blank expressions on everyone eles's faces, except for Koln who is now singing Jingle Bells in the back. "Oh you mean me! Ah yes I know the secret handshake! Or...was it a knock..."

She shrugs and opens the door getting out of the car. Looking back in at the group she says "As for Malkavians Kitten, we are many but at the same time we are but one. One mind and many bodies. I do believe we have a funeral to attend."

With that Lacey starts walking towards the house. There is something very unsettling about the place even from the street. The house isn't completely dark though, there are lights on outside as well as a few inside. Unfortunately for Koln although there is a chimney on the house there is no way a person could possibly fit down there, only the magic of Santa (or the Protean Mist Form) can make you small enough to fit down a chimney. Also, the windows on the house have that same unwelcoming iron gating in front of them making the house look almost prison-like. Lacey walks to where the gate was torn down and looks back at the group. "You coming? The way is open."
 

Slowly, Clover exited the truck and leaned uncertainly against the front grill, unwilling to enter the yard of the house. She checked over her two weapons--the two pistols, hers and the one from Lacey--and tucked one into the back waistband of her skirt while keeping the other in hand. She shook her head, eying the house with a dubious expression, "Why don't you and Meredith go first, Lacey? Koln and I will keep an eye on the yard until you get to the front door and see what's going on. If anything happens, we'll either whistle or shoot; whichever suits us."

Not only was she unwilling to have Koln leave her side, but she also was hoping to get a chance to see Meredith in action. She was so used to Ruby in a fight, she was a bit curious to see how Meredith would differ, without actually having to ask the girl what she excelled in.

Meredith shrugs and than nods in internal agreement with what Clover suggests. She lets her claws out and than non-chalantly puts them behind her back as she walks forward to join Lacey, as if she were being very polite instead of hiding her claws.

Lacey waits for Meredith to catch up to her and then speaks quietly "Ok Marie, here is the plan. I'm going to knock on the door and say 'special delivery!' while you keep an eye out, maybe two eyes. If someone answers the door, we give them the package with the bomb it and we run!"

Lacey turns her head to the left where the front lawn of the house is. "You hear something? I think the funeral is about to start, I can hear the choir singing."

GM: Meredith can make a listen check.
