Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Tale_Weaver]

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!'

As Clover leaves the bathroom stall she sees a rat scurry out from one of the shower stalls. The rat looks scared but makes no attempt to run away from Clover, in fact it starts to approach her! Clover sees that the rat is actually Pumpkin, the one that she found in the sewers that night her and the others escaped from Prestor's house. The rat looks up at Clover as if to say "Remember me?" She seems very tame.

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.

Koln is doing his best to have a good time with Ruby, but he feels guilty about leaving Clover alone. One would not think he's depressed by his demeanor, Koln always had a gift for rythm, perhaps it was from his martial arts training or simply because he's French, but he is soon dancing and stomping right along with the other patrons, doing his best to blend in. And indeed, like a rat, he is quite capable of going unnoticed when he wants... that is if his sanity holds.

At the same time, while he feels compelled to hunt for prey he is reluctant to leave Ruby. It isn't so much that he's afraid of what will happen when he's alone, it's just that he is simply afraid of being alone. He pushes that weak sentiment out of his mind, assuring himself that with God, (even if it's a God that hates his guts), he will never be alone, and tonight will go without incident, God willing!

Spot check, Koln's hungry!

The club was a little bare on Sunday, but Ruby was determined to find her prey tonite beside Koln. They both danced together rhythmically as the music blared around them. She got the hang of this club dancing think and even found ways to move sections of her torso in hopes to attract others, at least she thought so. She decided if Koln found his prey first, she would watch him closely, if possible.

I can't see what you rolled from those links but whatever. We'll use those rolls. Please use dmtools in the future if IF goes down.

Koln manages to find his nom noms first. A young lady in a long black dress approaches him. She is dressed modestly but her makeup sort of makes her look like a vampire herself. The way she acts gives Koln the impression that this is what she is going for. It makes her eyes look dark and her face pale, her lips are a cherry red. "Hey baby, wanna dance?" she asks Koln as she brushes past him.

You can smell sweet blood coursing through this woman's veins. She is wearing very little perfume.

"It would be my pleasure, madame..." Koln replies as he follows her. He looks back at Ruby and motions with his hand on his neck, sticking his tongue out, as if to tell Ruby not to worry, Koln's mind is solely on drinking this girl's blood and nothing more.

As they dance they converse, Koln being careful not to give anything away. When she asks his name he merely replies, "I am sorry madame, but ah... well you know the tale of Rumpelstiltzchen? Oui, I know you do... to know someone's name is to have such a power over them, especially if they walk in the night... now" Koln continues, pouring on his innate French-capacity for seduction, "do you wish to have such power over me, madame? Make me tremble, quake, and lower my head at the mere utterance of my name from your soft crimson lips. To limit, reduce, and control but at the same time make me feel boundless, euphoric, and immortal? If so, we should go someplace quieter..."

(Koln is suddenly beginning to scare me)

Rat.
Clover peered around to make sure no one was looking (it would be strange enough if people saw her slightly blood spattered clothing, never mind seeing her talk to a rodent!). Then, she crouched down and held out her hands, finding that Pumpkin allowed herself to be easily scooped up. Clover didn't even think about it, but immediately began to talk to the animal, "Now where have you been, missy? I'm sure Icarus has been worried sick..."
Her actions immediately struck her as odd. She must have been spending too much time around Koln, who spoke to Socrates like an old friend.
Clover carred Pumpkin back to her room and knelt down under her bed, grabbing Icarus by the scruff of his neck and dragging the fat rabbit out of hiding. She placed them both on her bed where their soft white coats shone silky in the moonlight, "There, now. Friends?"
She smiled, again feeling rediculous for talking to animals. Then, she flopped down on her bed to wait for Mindy, or at least for Koln and Ruby to return. To pass the time, she flipped on her television and turned to the local news channel. After all, it coudln't hurt to catch up on current events, right?

Listening to the news channel (listen check?). Will anything interesting turn up?

The girl looks at Koln a little confused. "I'm not sure I understand everything you said but I have always had a thing for foreign guys." The girl puts her hand on Koln's cheek and winks. "You can have power over me Mr. Suave, my name is Vinessa." Vinessa takes Koln's hand and leads him over to the lounge area. Koln can see the girl's curvey shape through the dress as she sways her hips while walking in front of him. There is no one in any of the booths in the back and it is dimly lit providing a good mood for a little french romance. Vinessa's eyeshadow makes her eyes practically dissapear in the dim lighting and her red lips stand out against her pale skin and Koln can't help but feel a slight tingle while taking in the moment. She lightly kisses Koln on the cheek.

She lightly kisses Koln on the cheek.

As pretty as she may be, Koln's only feeling for this person is disgust and contempt. Stupid girl, does she have any idea what's going to happen? Is she not aware that vampires walk the night? When the sun goes down, monsters lurk, that is something all parents teach their young children... well, at least they should, since it is true. Her "appearance"... her frame-her skin, that which borders "her" against the rest of reality... it's all so unnecessary. If only Koln could take it and rip off her flesh, just get a meat-cleaver or something sharp and cut along the dotted lines as it were, to really get to the heart of the matter, no pun intended. That's important is what's inside, not the pretty shell, eggs must break... skin must be pierced... rip, bite, tear open that dirty border make everything red, make everything clean.... yes Koln is hungry.

This train of thought is broken as he feels her soft lips on his cheek, and he wonders why? Did she just realize what he's going to do and she's trying to appeal to his gentle side? Does she want to be close to him? Does she have any idea the implication of half her actions?! She deserves this... May God have mercy, because Koln certainly won't.

Koln quickly grabs her face, his palm over her mouth and fingers pinching her nose shut. Before she can realize what's going on he roughly tugs her face to the side, exposing her neck to him. For a moment Koln debates whether or not he should merely contend himself with the neck... what if he were to rip her head off and eat out the inside of her skull, like a basket of fruit...

"I'm sorry..." He whispers into her ear, he knows she will not enjoy what he's going to do, but he sure will.

Koln's fangs pierce her skin and he hungrily drinks from her, wondering how Ruby is doing.

Koln's tempted...

Ruby nods as she sees Koln's making a funny face with the dark looking girl that approached her. She tried to hide a giggle as he lead her to the back of the room. Ruby promised she would look out for him so she decided to quietly follow them a few minutes later. She crept up towards the booth and stood outside, to listen for anything alarming or peculiar just in case. She clutched her necklace and shut her eyes, hoping nothing goes wrong...

Vinessa let's out a slight moan as Koln's fangs pierce her skin and he starts to suck her blood. Her eyes close and it looks like she isn't in any pain whatsoever. Koln can hear a voice in his head that sounds like Tony saying "Think of where you are boy. It's feeding time!"

Koln pulls himself away before sucking the girl dry and licks (french kisses?) the wound closed like he saw Clover do previously. The girl slumps over in the lounge and looks as if she simply fell asleep.

Koln gains 5 blood points bringing his total to 10.
