Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[ladyphoenix]

Ruby's mood was more cheerful since they went on a bus ride again, and it clearly showed as she bounded off the bus like a spring. "All right! to Emerson we go! Onward and out!" she gleefully spouted : 3 She knew things were even more complicated, but now that she had all her questions of the past almost answered she now attempts to replace them with happy thoughts.
Sing a happy happy happy happy happy happy song

Clover crossed her arms in annoyance, following the bouncing, singing, happy girl from the bus and down the street.
'God, it's 2AM! Could she be any more annoying at this hour!?'
Koln seemed endearingly amused by Ruby's antics. Clover found it sickening.
She strode up next to Ruby, placing her hand on the girl's shoulder until she turned to face her. For some reason, that smiling face really bugged Clover at the moment, and she heard herself quietly, yet firmly, reprimand the girl, "Ruby, you need to calm down. We're in a residential neighborhood, after all. Now, take it easy. Down, girl."
Clover had meant the last part as a little joke, still caught on the idea of Ruby as a dog.

It appeared that Clover wasn't as happy as she was and once she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned towards Clover with a smile. She felt a sudden grip on her being and conscience when looking into her purple eyes. Her mind fought to break free.

At that Koln shoots an angry glare out of the corner of his eye at Clover, although he restrains himself from lecturing her. He just hopes that Clover isn't starting to enjoy her vampiric powers too much. She must never forget, they are nothing more than leeches, and none of them are better than the other. The only brightside Koln sees to being a vampire is never having to use the bathroom. That's right, despite having virtual eternal life along with superhuman powers, not ever having to use the little vampire's room is the only perk to him. Everything else is just evidence that they are of a stray ilk from God's most beloved Creation: humanity.

Ruby throws herself to the ground violently upon Clover's command. People who got off the bus look back inquisitively at Ruby seemingly throwing herself on the ground but eventually just walk away uncaring leaving you all alone in the parking lot of the mall.

Koln gasps, thinking that something's wrong with Ruby, but then it connects that she is following the command. Koln carefully helps up Ruby back up, gently petting her back to comfort her, he knows it is very jarring to one's senses to feel one's limbs suddenly move without one's own control. As he does he angrily scowls at Clover; Socrates is peeking out from Koln's pocket, giving Clover a "Wtf?!" look.

'OMGWTFDIDIDONOW?!?!'
Clover immediately felt remorse for causing Ruby such pain and humiliation, and she quickly moved and hugged the girl close without thinking, speaking between sobs (to the extent that vampires can actually sob, at least), "Oh no, Ruby! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean to do that! Really! I need to be more careful with what I say!"
'And Koln should scowl at me! I don't deserve these two. And they certainly did nothing to deserve the likes of me...'

'Yipe!' Ruby's mind shrieked as her legs gave out and her back arched downward despite all reasons not to. It all happened so fast, so immediate. She could feel eyes on her from different directions and she tried to move, but felt arrested by her body. The next thing she knew, she could feel a pull from an arms and she looked behind her seeing it was Koln, looking upset. Clover ran over and hugged her, sobbing, and Ruby couldn't feel mad at her. She was stilled shocked by the abruptness of the whole thing but Clover was right, she should be more discreet in places like this.

"It's ok Koln," she said quietly when she put 2 and 2 together finally. She hugged Clover back. "I'm ok Clover, I understand your only trying to protect us, and I was acting foolish again," she said in comfort. She let out a small chuckle. "It could be worse, you could have me performing animal tricks for money in front of everyone or have me jump off a cliff."

With that, she took both their hands and walked, carefully suggesting they would be on their way again. She did admit that it was a scary feeling to be forced to do things against her will, but by now she had trust in Clover.

 

[Strider_Koln]

Koln's relieved to see that Ruby is taking it pretty well. He has to stifle his own chuckling at the situation and at Ruby's comment about performing tricks, at least 'playing dead' would be pretty easy. It is becoming more and more obvious to him every night that they are slowly becoming less human and more vampiric. What scares him is that his friends will be no more, and in their place will be a gangrel and a ventrue, both enemies...

Still, a part of his friends may remain... it is settled then, not now (and hopefully not anytime soon!) but when it comes to that point, when all that remains of Clover and Ruby are just their human shells, he will have to do the greatest favor one can do for his friends, kill them both.
They will probably not understand... they may even fight him, but they will both thank him in the end. He is definately not crazy, oh no, for once his mind is so clear... for now he must do his best to enjoy his time with Clover and Ruby while their personalities remain.

He feels Socrates stirring in his breast pocket and he remembers his personal vow to never let anyone harm them, how can he even think about killing his friends?! How could he even think about existing without Ruby?! Ok ok ok ok! NOW it is settled! He must kill them both and THEN kill himself! Or what if he switches up the order? Kill himself THEN kill his friends! Yes, cunning... er no no, he promised Ruby he wouldn't...

The entire time Koln just has a dumb grin on his face... he silently mumbles, "I'm so ed up..."

You all make your way to the Emerson Estate. You get there in about 20 minutes walking. The front door is still unlocked as if no one has been to the house since Koln and Ruby's last visit. There is some construction equipment in the yard with a truck carrying materials suitable for a renovation. As the door creeks open you find yourselves in the front hallway.
