Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

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...'

The 24th Diocese is a great place for you guys to hunt. A lot better than the Broadstreet because if you remember, Edward doesn't like vampires feeding inside his club.

Clover's mother replies "Oh dear, I suppose I never got to tell you. Your father got invited to one of his good business buddie's house for Thanksgiving. He's the CEO of a rather large company, I think it's called Enron. Hopefully they'll hit it off big because that could mean a lot of money! But sorry honey, it looks like Christmas will be the next time we see you."

Meanwhile, Ruby and Koln are outside Clover's room. They can feel the hunger inside them building up and they both know that the only cure is to find blood.

Clover found herself sighing, 'Typical...'
She nodded, even though her mother couldn't see her, "That's alright, mother. I understand. Christmas it is, I suppose."
'Will I even make it to Christmas? Will any of us?'

"Well dear, I have to go. Take care of yourself. Your father and I love you very much." Clover feels a pit in her stomach and it feels like the wine she drank is about to show itself soon.

Ruby winces a bit as she feels the pang of thirst creep up her body like an angry spider. "I don't think rats will do the trick tonight Koln," she said with a frown. "I need some sustenance this time. How about the 24th Diocese? Tony lets us inside.." She had tried long and hard not to feed on any more humans but she feared if she loses any more blood, things could get worse.. She made her way to the shuttle.

Koln did not want to admit it, but he felt the hunger dominating him, making him slip in and out of consciousness more and more, ever blurring the lines between reality and dreamscape. As he was taught as a lad, he tries to lead his lady to the bus, but in reality, he keeps a hand around Ruby and let's her decide where to go; Koln letting Ruby "pull" him along the way.

Koln sits beside Ruby on the shuttle, waving "hi" to the familiar driver in the striped sweater. Koln smiles, taking off his hat and placing it on his lap, Socrates peaking out of his pocket. "I am glad to have this evening with you Ruby, but I am worried about Clover. Have you noticed anything different about her, or is it just me? Seriously, it could be just me, I am not sure, but I think I tried to drill into my own head with a banana a few moments ago. I am also afraid about tonight.. we are going there for... 'food,'" Koln says with a shudder, hating to label his victims like that but due to being in a public place he figures he better refrain from any audible and overt references to bloodsucking, he continues in a very quiet whisper, so quiet that only he, Ruby, and any other nonhumans on the bus may hear, "but I am scared, what if I don't stop myself...what if I end up ripping my victim limb from limb in chaotic blood lust... just, promise me you won't hate me if it happens... I will do most of the hating anyway."

Ruby paused for a moment, letting everything Koln talked about soak in. "Come to think of it, Clover has seem much cruder than usual. It's almost as if something has taken hold of her. I wonder what went on there while we were still at the room anyway.." she thought aloud.
She then gave Koln a little but genuine smile. "I won't hate you Koln. It is now in our nature to survive any way we can. And we don't have the intent to kill, I'm sure one day we can have more restraint, I'm hopeful of it. And besides, I will be close by if you need me as much as I need you to be." She slid her hand over on top of his the rest of the ride to the club.

The bus driver waves goodbye to Koln and Ruby as they step off the bus. Maybe one day he'll tell them what the glove with the claws is for that he always keeps on the dashboard.

The 24th Diocese is a little quieter than usual given that it is a Sunday night. Despite that, good old Bill is behind the bar and there are still a good number of people on the dance floor ripe for the picking.

Roll spot checks to see if you find anyone that piques your fancy.

Click.
The line went dead as her mother hung up. Clover sat in a shocked state for a moment, holding her phone to her ear as though her loving parental unit would come back. But no luck.
She put her cell phone down and felt her tummy do a flip-flop. She shook her head, realizing what was about to happen if she didn't move fast enough.
Clover had never liked getting sick. Throwing up wine and blood didn't really help, either. She tried not to look as she upchucked the crimson mixture into the toilet. It tasted foul in her throat. Not burny like vomit used to. But metallic and fruity all at once.
And that thought made her throw up even more.
And more.
And how did she still have that much in her stomach?
And why hadn't her stomach come up, too?!
And oh, this was going to be a long night if the vomiting wouldn't stop...
Clover sat down in the stall to rest for a moment, hating, hating, hating herself for what she had done to herself and Mindy.
And then, more puking...

(don't really think I need to elaborate much further. Clover's getting sick: the end) ^.^*

Two girls walk into the bathroom as Clover is puking (they ALWAYS go to the bathroom in pairs you know). "Sounds like the cafeteria was serving meat again!" one of the girls says." "Either that or she's just bulimic like half the girls at this school!" The girls do their business and leave the bathroom giggling to each other.

Exhausted and beginning to feel overwhelmingly hungry, Clover lifted her head from the bowl, a little dribble of blood drooling out the side of her mouth. When the girls left the room, she felt herself scowl and she grumbled, "I'll show you bulimic, you pussy little vermin who don't even have the common decency to keep your thoughts to yourselves while someone is getting sick in the next stall... Or even ask them if they're ok..."
She tipped backwards until she felt her back hit cold metal, and she basked in the moment of peace when she finally found that she was finished.
'I wonder what Koln and Ruby are up to? I shouldn't have let them go alone. Think of all the trouble they could get into!'
