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!

"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 BASTARD! MY FATHER IS NOT A TUNA!! He was a man of virtue! A holy man! He did not die by those damned beasts that feast upon the flesh and blood of humanity!" The joke, with its 'like father - like son' theme, obviously struck a terrible chord with Koln, who leaps up and grabs the television, holding it over his head and approaching the window, unlatching it.

Better stop him Clover, and DON'T command him to 'Drop it'

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.

I think it would be funny if that's on as Koln, at his craziest, is holding the television above his head.

^.^ (envision Clover's serene smile...)
'Ah... it's so nice to have a moment of quiet after such a long night! I'm glad that I was able to find some news online. Excellent! They think Koln's dead. Finally, a bit of good news in this bleak situation. If nothing else, that should mean that no vampire hunters will be after us from the Vatican! Oh, and it sounds like Koln and Ruby are enjoying themselves with the television. I wasn't looking, but did they just mention something about the murder? Hm... maybe that too was good news! Ah... such a calm and peaceful night. A rabbit asleep in his cage. Crickets chirping merrily outside of my window. The sound of Koln happily murmuring to himself. And... oh! Look at that. Ruby looks so cute, the way she's just staring at the television like that. And silly Koln: glued to the news. It must be a good story! Yes. Things are definately starting to fall into pl...'
"YOU BASTARD! MY FATHER IS NOT A TUNA!! He was a man of virtue! A holy man! He did not die by those damned beasts that feast upon the flesh and blood of humanity!"
'Meh!?'
Clover whipped around to see Koln standing with her television high above his head, as though he were about to smash it like a jack-o-lantern. 'Hm... maybe it wasn't such a good story...' The television was still plugged in and, despite its elevated location, Ruby's eyes were still stuck on the screen as some lovey dovey couple smiled and kissed on a beach.
Carefully, she stood up. She did not want to have to explain to daddy why her television was in shambles and needed replacing. Her hands froze out in front of her as she struggled for words, unable to get the attention of his eyesight, "Um... Koln? Yeah... yeah I'm talking to you! Ok now, easy there...!"
'Damn, what did the microwave do to him that other time?!?!'
"Um... whatever the television did, I'm sure it didn't mean it! Really, it's a good television! Now, how about putting it down nice and slowly... so I won't have to smack you...!" She covered her mouth politely after her growling threat, not entirely sure where that had come from.

Koln stops in his tracks at her threat. Then a small smile appears as he struggles to stifle a chuckle. "Oh, hehheh.. I'm sorry Clover, I do not mean to laugh, really! Smack me? Hehehe, alright, if you want to spar you only need to just ask.. er, why am I holding this television above my head? Above my head is no place for the television! I will put it right where it should be." The confused Koln concludes as he sets it back where it was.

"Er... I'm sorry I think I just blanked out. So what's going on? Find anything interesting Clover about that hunter or Suzie from your laptop?"

I have to post as Ruby since it seems like Sarah is MIA today. I wanted her to have some part in this

Ruby stays fixed on the TV and talks softly to herself while watching the commercials "Don't worry, Koln was only trying to save you from your prison. Please, tell me how I can solve my relationship problems. I know I'm a little shy but surely I can find happiness too..."

Ruby moves closer to the TV ans strokes it on the side with her right hand while she presses her left cheek against the screen.

Koln blinks at Ruby, silent for a bit ".... relationship problems...?"

Ruby has been in a daydream the entire time Koln had his arguement with the TV, ot to her, thr "Clever Light Box." She imagined herself with him on that beach as the couple prancing about in the sun, oh how the sun looked so wonderful synthetically; a pleasure she will never see or feel again. She was entranced up until..
YOU BASTARD! MY FATHER IS NOT A TUNA!! He was a man of virtue! A holy man! He did not die by those damned beasts that feast upon the flesh and blood of humanity!"

The clever light box flew upward along with the bouncing couple up over Koln's head. She stood straight up ready to stop him, but Clover quickly intervened.
"Oh, hehheh.. I'm sorry Clover, I do not mean to laugh, really! Smack me? Hehehe, alright, if you want to spar you only need to just ask.. er, why am I holding this television above my head? Above my head is no place for the television! I will put it right where it should be." The confused Koln concludes as he sets it back where it was.

"Did someone say spar?" Ruby cheerfully tried to lighten the mood again. "We should all train together to brush up on our fighting abilities, doncha think?" she said with her arms crossed looking determined.

Koln chuckles and looks around the room, "Hm, I don't think we have much room here. If we have time I think we can have a go in the gymnasium, what do you think Clover? I promise I will go very light contact and at a portion of my strength... I hope Ruby does the same."

Ruby and Koln are on their way out the door when Mindy shows up in response to Clover's text. "Hi ya'll! Yer lucky it's a weekday otherwise I woulda been out late Angie! Unless of course i have to give that up too." Mindy says that last part while her eyes wander to the ground.

Mindy looks at Ruby and Koln and says "No offense you two but do ya think I could get a moment alone with Angie?"

Ruby and Koln can go to the gym, I assume Clover can tell them where to go and give them a key to get in.

(...hooray for random posts )

Things quickly snowballed from the intent of smacking Koln to sparring to going to the gym at 1am to Mindy somehow bursting in the door without a key. Insane!
Clover finally raised her voice above the chattering people, bringing all noise in the room to a standstill with just a few words, "Enough already! Honestly, you three just prattle on like those little school girls from St. Theresa's Elementary on their way to visit the boys up at St. Augustine's Boy's Academy!"
The room fell deathly silent, and she realized they had no idea what she was talking about. Clover finally composed herself in a huff, "Anyway, the gym is closed at this time of night, in case you forgot what time it is. Why not go to the campus field? The stadium is right up the road. You can't miss it. Mindy! No, you don't have to give up going out late. And now, Koln. Ruby. If you'll excuse us?" She motioned for her friends to get going before she lost her temper again!
