Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[izillama]

Clover smirked, a bit bemused as prim and proper Edward mounted the stage in Goth gear. She managed to yell to her friends, "Well, I suppose one in every few business men needs to have his wild side, huh?"
She laughed and found her eyes darting to the side of the stage. A hulking figure caught her attention. Hm, was that Duke? She found her face screwing up in disgust, still indignant at the fact that he had beat her up. Still, though, he had given her that oh-so-lovely crayon drawing. Surely that made up for the fact that he humiliated her in front of a group of vampires before roughly presenting her to Edward. Surely she could forgive him for such rudeness.
She rolled her eyes, laughing to herself. Then, she lifted a discreet finger and pointed for Koln and Ruby, in case they gave a damn (because she surely didn't), "Look. Duke."

You all realize what a great deal you are getting and eagerly pay the admission fee.

Father Koln: Wait what?! I am not giving money to that vampire to see his crummy band! I don't care if it's only 10 bucks! Who do you think you are? The puppet-master that controls our destiny? Hm?! Oh fine..


Reluctantly Koln pays the doorman and enters the club with his friends. He stands in the crowd with his arms crossed as Edward takes the stage.

"Anyway, without further adoe, we bring you 'Burnin Heratic'!"

"Quick Ruby, they're onto you! Hide under the table!" Koln moves in front of Ruby, ready to protect her to the death from being burnt. He stands ready, his hand in his coat, on the handle of his gun... but nothing happens, save music. "Oh.. it is only a song... er I knew that... Hm, I like this song, good lyrics. It's a shame that lead singer has aids."

Ruby, in lighter spirits, couldn't help a chuckle from Koln's sudden display. "Hehe, thank you anyway Koln, but I must say I don't like the title much either"

"A wild side indeed.." she said with a chuckle at Clover, It truly was a shock to see Edward out of his business suit and mean demeanor and into a crowd pleasing soul searcher.

"Look. Duke."

Ruby veered her eyes in the direction of her finger. "Ah yes, the strong but silent guy. I gotta admire his strength but he looks like he is suppressing his inner feelings. Maybe hes like those hard candies, hard on the outside but his essence is in the middle, hehe, nah i'm just bein' silly," she mused.

Clover's eyes veered sideways at Ruby's lame joke, "Um... right. Definately like a Warhead. Sour on the outside. Sweet on the inside. I think. Anyway, think he could help us talk to Edward? I don't know about you, but I don't really think it'd be wise to push past those fangirls to the stage. It might be best if we just slipped in back unnoticed. As... interested as Koln is in this band..." Clover turned to gaze to Koln, who had begun bopping along with the beat, trying to cover up the fact that he thought "burnin' heretic" had meant the end of Ruby only moments ago.

Ok, gonna move things along here because I see we have a hang up.

You all decide to make your way across the crowd towards where Clover pointed Duke out. You find him near the stage. He immediately recognizes you and nods to show he acknowledges you. Unlike Edward, Duke is dressed the same way you met him, a double-breasted business suit. You figure he probably would make an effective bouncer regardless of how he dressed.

His deep voice is hard to hear over the crowd but with your more acute senses you can hear him say "You here to see Edward?"

"Indeed we are. We have great news, part of which is the fact that I'm not here to slay him, which I'm sure he'll be most relieved to hear. Also we all apologize for coming late and missing most of his show."

Duke says "He'll be honored I'm sure. He did say that you would come. The show will be over soon and then you and Edward can talk."

Clover smiled at Duke and nodded, curtly (and far from friendly). Turning, she laced her arms over her chest and looked at the stage. Closed her eyes and listened to the song. It seemed so out of place in a blues club! Now, maybe take this music back to the 24th Diocese and sure. It would fit...
She found her head swaying along with the beat as she spoke to Koln and Ruby, not yelling but knowing that they could understand her subtle whisper, "You know: Yes. Edward did ask us to come back in three days. But he had also said to find Liverman. Well, I guess that contact number and address is as good as anything. But still, I hope he won't feel like we bothered him. Oh, but then again, maybe he would want to know about that... um... McMeanie guy who attacked us? I mean, really! Broad nightlight and attacking a mortal first and foremost? That was most rash." She shook her head, hoping for the song to be over with soon so that they could get this over with.

The band reaches the end of the song and closes out with a cheering crowd. Duke leads you all to the waiting room in front of Edward's office. Soon after Edward comes in with the rest of the band. There are four of them in total. "Ah, back I see...great! I'm glad to see you came on your own free will this time, I do have a few things to talk to you all about. But first, I'd like to introduce you to the band here."

He gestures towards a man with longish brown hair. "We have Jason, our bass player." When Edward says his name he waves but seems to have a slight glint in his eyes, especially when he looks at Koln.

Edward then points to a woman with short blond hair who kind of resembles a female Billy Idol. "This is Karen our drummer."

He points to a heavyset woman with long blond hair down to the center of her back. "And last but not least, our keyboard player Leslie."

Karen says "It was nice meeting all of you. We better get out there and take some autographs." The band leaves with Jason taking up the rear. "That was a great concert man, reminds me of when I played Woodstock!" he says as they leave. Edward opens the door to his office and gestures for you to come in. He pulls up three seats in front of his desk and then sits behind the desk facing you all. When you are all settled he says "So how are we this fine evening? Did you all go to the bank?"

You can't seem to get the song Purple Haze out of your head after Jason gives you that look.

Ruby looked up from the group and spoke first. She tried not to get overexcited when doing do. "Yes, and we managed to obtain the articles from the lock box as well. His journal and some of his test tubes filled with mysterious chemicals were discovered. They must be extremely valuable if they were hidden in that box."
She paused and frowned a bit. Shortly after, we were attacked by a hunter priest who also deliberately stabbed a mortal with us."
She nudged her head down again after she was finished, hoping all these mysteries will be resolved.
