Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

"Indeed it does my friend..." Koln whispers to Socrates, gently petting him as he responds.

"Ok, so the sewers can wait, they're not going anywhere. Although I do have unfinished business with that fiend we met down there..." Koln bends over a sewer grate against the sidewalk and yells down it, "YOU HEAR ME! YOUR DAYS AMONG THE LIVING ARE NUMBERED! SOON LUCIFER'S WOLVES SHALL FEAST UPON THE INNARDS OF YOUR STOMACH AND HIS DEMONIC HARPIES WILL FASHION YOUR ESOPHAGUS INTO A GRISLY HARPSICHORD!"

A second or two goes by and then Koln thinks he hears a reply up from the grate, "Bring it..."

"That's it, I'm going in!" Koln growls as he struggles to fit himself down the small grate, obviously not getting very far. "Grr! Fine, then I pull out my gun!" He does, and holds his S&W down the grate, about to pull the trigger, but he stops suddenly and glares at Clover.

He slowly gets up and points her gun at her! "Clover, your bag... there's laughing coming from inside! Open it!" Koln lowers his weapon as he approaches, for now keeping the safety on.

"Your cell phone mocks us... It is an agent of the Devil! Ruby's kind are wise to not trust such things! You can learn much from her."
Oh snap!


Sense motive - Cell phone!

Ruby places a hand up to her mouth in shock over Koln's sudden display of insanity. "It's quite alright Koln, cellphones are a useful source of communication," Ruby says, even though she knows her words may be of no use. She slowly approaches behind him to make sure he doesn't do anything rash..

 

[izillama]

Staring down the barrel of a gun (safety on, she noticed with none-too-little relief) Clover was at first a bit shocked. Then, realizing that Koln had no more will to shoot her than he did to do any harm to Ruby, she found herself quirking an eyebrow, speaking pointedly, as though he were bothering her, "Seriously?"
Feeling just a bit empowered, she had no trouble walking towards the gun, lowering the muzzle with a careless hand as she continued to stride past Koln. As she walked away from her two friends, she barked--commanded--knowing that they would do exactly as she wished whether under her control or not, "Ruby. Koln. Come! We're going home..."

That cell phone seems to be calling out to you, even beckoning to you. You're not sure whether to trust it or not, it might just be your insanity speaking after all.

"Grr.. already? Well fine, I guess it actually would be a could idea to not do anything too... crazy... tonight, give ourselves a break. However I caution you Clover. Pray that the StephMeyerVampireConspiracy does not have a satellite in orbit, or else your phone might blab our location. They will descend from space in their little pods and, while I am strong, I doubt I could hold back the hundreds and hundreds of teenyvampire soldiers from space that will be after us."


Koln sighs... Clover's command still on his mind, "Koln! Come! We're going home!" as if he was a dog! He isn't a dog! At least...he doesn't think so. What if...? He stops for a moment, looking at this reflection in a car's hubcab, only to see a dark pig-tailed hair girl looking back at him. "Oh, pardon me.." Koln mumbles,and she nods, stepping aside, allowing Koln to see himself in the reflection. "Ah I knew it!" Koln smiles and excitedly hurries back to the group, happily exclaiming "I am not a dog! Well that's a lot off of my mind."

Well that's a lot off of my mind."

You all take the bus back to the dorm room. while you are on the bus a group of goth-looking kids talk idly amongst themselves.

"Ever notice all these weird vampire wannabees hanging around the mall lately?" Another one says "Yeah dude...so annoying. They think they are so cool." They get off the bus when it stops at the mall.

The bus gets to the University and you get off and walk to Clover's dorm room. You get in and are now back in her room.

"Ever notice all these weird vampire wannabees hanging around the mall lately?" Another one says "Yeah dude...so annoying. They think they are so cool."
As the goth kids got up to leave, Clover smiled and bared her fangs mockingly at their backs, acting rather childish compared to her usual cool demeanor. 'Well then, I guess I'm one of the weird ones now, huh?'

Back at the dorm room, Clover clicked on the light and walked inside, her friends in tow. Leaving them to their own devices, she sat down at her desk and powered up her computer, pulling out her cell phone and texting Mindy, <We need to talk. Don't come after 5am> Then, she opened her internet browser and started searching up the local newspaper. Maybe they could find the headlines they were looking for there. Clover also picked up her remote, tossing it to Koln, "Turn on the news. We might hear something about the hunter in the dumpster and maybe even the murder up by Prestor's."
'Hm... did I really just give Koln access to my television? I had better keep an eye on him...'

'Hm... did I really just give Koln access to my television? I had better keep an eye on him...'

Clover searches the internet for recent news in the local area. She finds an article describing the building fire in the downtown area. The article mentions Koln and that he was identified through dental records.

Koln flicks on the TV. Luckily the TV was set to the local news channel from the last time that Clover was watching it. The news man mentions the crime scene from last night and that it was a local girl that was found murdered. You can see that although the girl was young, she is definitely not Suzy. The police still don't have any leads as to who murdered the girl and how.

Our three heroes enter the dorm as Koln slowly brushes his chin in thought with his fingers, "Vampire... 'want-to-be's?' There are kids... children, that want to be vampires?! Children?! I love children! We must help them immediately! Save who we can and slaughter the lost causes! Who's with me?! Look, even if I am wrong, you cannot deny there is a danger in this growing vampire trend? What if one kid, or group of kids, does their homework slightly beyond their hobby and ends up in way over their head? It isn't like vampires are make believe. Oh no, they're not. They wait in the shadows, hoping the curious sheep make their job easy and wander to their clutches out of the caring eye of the shephard..."

Koln mumbles on cryptically as sits in front of the television.

Koln smiles, shaking the news anchor's hand. "Oh I'm fine, well as fine as I could be for not having a pulse." Koln stops himself, thinking he might have said too much already! This news anchor could be a spy...

"The chef and tuna...?" Koln thinks, and has a guess to what the story is going to be about... "Go on... but choose your words carefully, Mr. Television."

You think that the news anchor is being honest but it is highly possible that this is just merely an illusion caused by your insanity. It seems real though, even Ruby is looking on in awe!
[/sblock]

"A big fan of jokes I see!" The news anchor laughs. He continues on in with the joke as if he was reporting on a news event.

"A tuna went to see the chef who killed his father and turned him into dinner at a local restaurant. The tuna said 'You are the chef who killed my father. I want to make a bet with you, if I can beat you in a game of chess then you have to retire from being a chef forever.' 'And if I win?' asked the chef. 'Then you can serve me to all of your customers.' the tuna replies. The chef agrees and the two begin to play. The tuna had played chess all of his life as most tuna fish do in their spare time, and it wasn't long before the tuna put the chef in check mate. 'I win!' cried the tuna throwing his fins in the air. The chef then plunged his knife into the tuna's chest. 'But...I won...' said the tuna as he felt the knife wiggling around in his guts. The chef smiled 'So did your father!'"

With that the news anchor disappears and a commercial for a dating website comes on the TV.

You see Koln interacting with a man inside the glowing box. It then changes and you see couples walking on a beach and in a park. The glowing box asks you about your relationships and if you would like to meet new people.
