Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Strider_Koln]

As Clover speaks, Koln seems years away, staring off into nothing. ".... Yes... that will show that microwave. Oh a hug, c'mere you..." He blinks, and is snapped back to reality, in time to hear the last part of Clover's plan. "Er.. right, engaged, got it, priestly too, slay Tony, a little snack, sure, sounds like a plan!" Koln smiles and nods, barely sure of what he just heard... "Oh... the cursed night is about to give way to God's morning-light, doesn't time fly when you're having fun?"

Well, if you're still going to do something tonight let me know, otherwise I'm going to move us on to the next night. Ruby can still check on Prestor's house if she wants to.

Ruby nods in agreement. Perhaps she can check on the raven real quick. "sounds like a plan for tomorrow then. I think I have time for a brisk walk outside. See you all later," she said with a flashing quick smile. She knew she couldnt lie well but at least if she made it quick they hopefully won't notice.

Ruby bolts out the door and heads towards the shuttle bus to get to Prestor's house.

You take the shuttle to the same stop as before about a block down from where Prestor's house once stood. You are walking down the street when you notice the figure of a man coming down from the other end and walking in your direction.

Koln nods as Ruby leaves, then thinks... and runs after her but he's too late, she already left the school before he even left the dorm hall. He returns, grumbling "Fille bête..." (Silly girl...) He kneels by the bed and starts to pray quietly for her safety. He does not know if she is really just going for a walk, probably not, but even so it is incredibly unsafe to venture out on her own. As he prays his hands turn slightly red, as if someone is painfully squeezing him, and he grimaces as if his throat were tightening painfully.

Clover didn't try and stop Ruby. Geez that girl was fast when she wanted to go somewhere! She continued to sit at her computer, doing homework little-by-little.
Koln returned and began to pray by her bedside. She turned ever-so-slightly to watch him. The image of the tall man pained by something as simple as a prayer haunted her.
It made her think about the Church.
They were coming for him.
What would they say when they saw him? Fangs. Pale skin. A strange avoidance of solid food. Was that all even something that could be explained away? Or would Koln have to fight? Would they all have to fight? Edward. The Church. Everyone seemed to want them dead.
Dead.
Clover pressed her lips tightly together to keep from blurting out the first comment that came to her mind.
Koln and Ruby had been disturbed by her suicidal tendencies. So had Clover. But she could have gone through with them. Might have, even. She would be lying in a coffin six feet under by now. Rotting away. It probably would have been a closed casket at the funeral. Jumping from a building probably wouldn't have left her very pretty.
Or distinguishable.
In fact, they could have placed any corpse in the casket. No one would have known the difference. It would have just made everyone happier to have a funeral for her. It would have been quite a show.
She couldn't hold it in any longer. She turned in full to face Koln and tried to word her thoughts carefully, "Koln? I know this might be... random, but I was thinking. The Church is coming after you, right? Could you... have you considered the possibility, maybe, of faking your own death? I mean, they couldn't exactly find out you were a vampire if you were dead. Ignorance is bliss, right? What they don't know can't hurt them. Wouldn't that be better than confronting them?"
Clover hoped she didn't offend him by the thought.

Ruby's mind sent her a signal of urgency as she spotted a shadowy figure of a man heading towards her. She gasped aloud slightly. She was beginning to have second thoughts about her trip, but there is no turning back now.
She began to take drastic measures to hide for observation.

[sblock]
Your feeble attempt at hiding fails. You try to duck into the shadows but they fail to conceale you. You figure it would just be best to face the man casually. You don't sense a vampire nearby.

"Good evening sir." Ruby says as the man passes by her eyeing her suspciously. He is a rather tall man with a brimmed hat on covering a head of short black hair. He has pale green eyes. He is wearing a black long coat that is unbuttoned on the top revealing a chain with what looks like the top of a cross on it.

"Good evening." He says to you as his eyes pass over you. You feel almost as if the man is looking into your soul. He says nothing more as he passes you by on the street and disapears around a corner.

You continue on to Prestor's house and call down the raven. The raven perches on your arm and you converse with him through Feral Whispers.

"A big man came by last night, he walked around here a bit. I stayed up in the tree and looked through the window. I've been trying to find more things for my nest. I looked in the room with the matress and could only find paper I couldn't tear. Eventually I found some feathers and used that instead. That's all I saw."

"Is there anything else you can tell me to describe this man? Was he tall? Fat? Look odd?" Ruby asked, prying the raven for more information. "I'm sure more fallen leaves will be around for you to collect soon once winter approaches us. Hope your female friends find you soon."
Soon after, she takes her leave back to the bus after conversing with the raven more. She had to warn Koln about this mysterious man that closely resembles him.

 

[Strider_Koln]

Koln stops praying and turns to Clover, wincing at her comment that 'ignorance is bliss.' "The Church is not going to come after me, my brothers will. They will come to merely check up on me, but once they see... they'll know I failed them. I am not sure how they'll take it, probably pretty badly, and they'll definately go after and likely scapegoat you and Ruby.... I have been thinking about that too, faking my death. But how? It has to be convincing..."
