Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Strider_Koln]

Koln triumphantly enters soon after Clover returns to the room. "Good news girls! *wirrrWirrr!* I found a drill!" Koln says happily, holding a banana in his hand. He sits in the corner, holding the banana to his face. "Now don't stop me... I know what I'm doing. I will drill into my own head, and this way Lacy will come out and we can talk to her! BRILLIANT" Koln slams the banana against his head with a messy *splat!* and looks dumbfounded.... "Uh... why didn't that work... anyway... Clover, we will talk later, I am not upset with you" Koln struggles to utter that last part, obviously lying. He sighs, sitting next to Ruby on the bed with banana guts on his forehead. "So... what's the plan. Anyone up for hunting a vampire or two... anyone?"

Clover's eyes flashed dark at Koln's stupid interruption and she heard herself mumble before she could stop, "You are some kind of idiot."
She then caught herself and her eyes became kind again, and she sighed and looked away, "No, I have an appointment. You two go have fun without me tonight."

Wiping off the banana and placing his hat back on his head, Koln fires an angry glare at Clover from under the brim of his hat at her comment. When the day comes and she is no longer Clover the human, but rather Clover the Ventrue, then Koln knows what he has to do...

He takes a moment to compose himself, and addresses her second comment:
"Oh, pity, you won't be joining us? Well I am sure that we will be fine without you tonight." Ordinarily, Koln would be more reluctant to let Clover go on her own, especially since he has always considered himself her 'protector,' but lately she seems more than capable of taking matters into her own hands, and so it shall be tonight. "Just please be safe... and at least tell us where you are going."

Clover cowered under Koln's reproachful glare. She didn't like it when he was angry with her! Damnit, Koln. Such a big brother figure...
She tried to soften the situation, speaking quietly and demurely, "I'll be staying here tonight, Koln. So don't worry about me. I hope that you and Ruby have fun."

Ruby lifts her face from the bed and smiles a little at Clover. "Ok then, see you soon," she replies. She then notices Koln sitting next to her with banana smears on his head and she instinctively covers herself by crossing her arms. If she could blush she would. "Umm.. well.. lets see.. I guess I'm kind of thirsty. I've been drained of energy since yesterday and all..." she said solemnly. She paused for a minute and decided to reveal just a little more of her intentions.

"To tell you the truth, I would like to also find more Gangrels out there if possible. Maybe they can help me control my emotions and physical changes I suppose. I just don't know how to find them.. It's not like they are posted in newspapers or anything out here.." she said forcing a dark chuckle.

Clover's phone rings as Koln and Ruby decide what they are going to do for the night. Clover picks up and hears her mom's familiar and frantic voice "Angelica! How are you? It feels like we haven't spoken in ages! You know, a letter came in the mail yesterday, did you change your classes dear?"

 

[izillama]

At first, she couldn't believe the caller ID on her phone: Mom. Really? Mom? Why would she call Clover? It seemed like it had been ages! And it had. A whole week without her mother's voice. Her father would never call her. But her mother had always made a point of it. A whole week. Had Catherine Edwards been trying to get a hold of her the entire week? Had she worried as Clover had slept the sleep of death? Would Clover betray herself when she picked up the phone? Betray her friends? It had been so long since she had heard a kind word from her own kin. It seemed too good to be true. Or was something wrong? Was her mother calling her because something had happened to Richard Edwards? Was he sick and in the hospital and Clover was stuck on the other side of the country as a vampire who couldn't travel by just any flight and was now on his death bed with no hope of ever hearing his daughter's voice ever a...?
The phone continued to ring. One more ring and the call would be lost.
She picked it up, barely believing she was about to hear her mother's voice yet bracing herself for its impact. Fearful she would break down in tears. She couldn't stand to see Koln and Ruby there staring at her as she spoke, and she gestured with her hand that they should leave as she pressed the "send" button.
"Mother?"
"Angelica! How are you? It feels like we haven't spoken in ages! You know, a letter came in the mail yesterday, did you change your classes dear?"
Clover felt her mouth pull up in a smile. Mother. Ever the worry-wart. "Yes, mother, I picked up some new interests during the day and decided to change my schedule around to accommodate. How are you and father doing? How's home?"
She felt home-sickness rise in her stomach like bile. Or it might have been the wine that she couldn't hold for much longer. Either way, she was curious to hear any news. Anything that could ground her to her family. Even though--she began to angrily and fearfully clench her teeth as her mother spoke--she knew that she would one day have to say good-bye. Maybe even sooner than she would like.

"Oh, I hope you're not doing any dangerous sports over there! We don't need you getting hurt so far away from home! Your father and I are doing fine, as you know we are going to Martha's Vinyard for a week. I hear it's really nice this time of year. We'll be taking the private jet of course. I wish you could come." Clover can hear her mom sigh. "But I guess we won't actually see you until Christmas."

 

[izillama]

Overjoyed at hearing her mother's voice, Clover found herself blurting before she even thought about it. Before she even remembered, 'Oh yeah. I'm a vampire. I really can't get on an airplane and do the whole airport thing anymore, now can I? And never mind trying to fake eating the turkey!' But still, she accidentally spoke, "Oh, but I was hoping to come home for Thanksgiving, remember?"
'Oops...'

Fearful she would break down in tears. She couldn't stand to see Koln and Ruby there staring at her as she spoke, and she gestured with her hand that they should leave as she pressed the "send" button.
"Mother?"
.

Just from looking at Clover's face, Koln knew who had to be on the line, "Ah, tell your mother Father Koln says Dieu Bénit (God Bless) and Bonsoir (C'mon, do I really have to translate this one?)!" Koln nods, acknowledging her gesture, gently clasping Clover's shoulder on the way out of the room, as if to assure her that things are fine between them and she will always have his support. He shuts the door behind him and Ruby, "So, where to mon bonne dame?""

Here I don't know what the options are. Of course there's Tony's club, but anything else? I never was really good at picking locations for dates, so where can Koln and Ruby cause the most damage? I want Clover to catch them on the late-night/early morning news!
