Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Klondike Ranch

*Twitch Twitch* ^_^* Ruby feels pangs of animal like jealousy surge to her head when Koln said he recognized her until her brain starts screaming to her. 'This isn't the time now!' Ruby growls in exasperation, "There is a crazy guy trying to shoot our friend in there, wew need to stop him!" Her eyes flash green according to her now strained temper.

Posted at the same time hehe.

Lacey smiles at Ruby "No no, calm yourself kitten. He won't shoot her, I know he won't. Drain her of her blood maybe, but he definitely won't shoot her!"

Koln approaches Lacey, and by his demeanor it is obvious he is not in the mood for pleasantries. "Great, you're here, and no longer in my head. So I did not need a drill afterall. Now, please open that door. She is in danger, he has a gun to her head. You know he won't shoot? How do you know? Is it like how I once knew that only water comes out of shower faucets, and not blood? Is it like how I once knew that nothing in my dreams could hurt me? Is it like how I once knew that 2+2 is 4?! All of that... the total framework of reality has come into question since my.... change. The only things I have left to hold onto are Ruby and Clover. If they fall so do I into the abyss. No offense, but If you're like me in the slightest way, the only objective clear certainty you have is that you really know nothing."

She let herself fall back into her mind as another part of her stepped forward. Proud and commanding, this Clover showed no fear. Only seething hatred for this man in front of her and what he had demanded. She felt her mouth open and heard words escape.
Strong words.
Words that had more courage in them than she could conjure up from any portion of her body at the moment.
She let the words flow, stepped into Klondike and his gun, and heard herself bark, "Stand down, you foolish mortal! Its a wonder you survived these centuries on your whining! Sniveling. Begging for sustenance! Just like a dog. So, dog, let me tell you how this game is played. Me: vampire. You? Pathetic, mortal, worm. Now, you ing cur, lets start playing and teach you some manners!"
Angry, snarling, livid, Clover slapped Klondike upside the face.

Intimidation!

No offense, but If you're like me in the slightest way, the only objective clear certainty you have is that you really know nothing."

Lacey rests a hand on Koln's shoulder and sighs "You poor thing. Not sure what's real and what's not? Trust me, it only gets worse. I see things too, sometimes horrific things, but I know that I'm seeing them for a reason." She looks up at the sky and raises her hands as if reaching for something "He speaks to us, he shows us what others cannot see." She walks towards the door motioning for Ruby to step aside "As for Klondike, I know he won't shoot because he's done killing. He's been forced to fight and kill for a long time because he was a pawn. Much like someone else I know here." As her back is turned to you you see that she has two tattoos, one of a bat-like figure on her lower back and one of a celtic cross on the back of her neck.

Meanwhile, inside the house. Klondike grabs Clover by the throat and lifts her off the ground "I've turned vampires way stronger than you into nothing but ash! Our deal is off, I think it's time for you to leave." Klondike drags Clover to the door by the neck. He opens the front door and says "Get out and stay out!". He is about to toss Clover out when he looks up and sees Lacey and the others staring at him...oh...hi Lacey...this isn't what it looks like, she means nothing to me!" He lowers Clover back to the ground.

Scrambling to maintain balance after being dropped, Clover quickly stood, brushing her skirt down hastily and making sure she looked just so. It was at that point that she realized she was facing a woman at the door. Klondike seemed to demur to her, and Clover immediately knew this woman (dressed rather sketchily) was a vampire.
Koln and Ruby came padding up behind her and, and after a rather awkward moment of silence--'Who is this girl and what's with the outfit?! Damn, have some decency you Mindy wannabe!'--Clover suddenly remembered that she had been angry just a moment ago.
Fiery, her inner Ventrue once again shot to the surface, and she once again found herself stepping into danger. One hand on hip, the other pointing a rather accusing finger, she scolded, "You! Learn to keep your servants on a shorter leash! It seems that he'd just as soon take the blood of any random vampire he comes across, the sick pig! Teach him some discipline!"
And yet, she only spoke braver than she felt. In reality, she was infinately glad to see Ruby and Koln, who didn't seem too concerend by this black-headed freak-show in front of her.

Koln approaches the person he assumes to be Klondike and holds the barrel of his shotgun to his face. "Lacey, I am no longer forced to kill... I now do what I want, unless given a reason. Give me one reason why I shouldn't. Granted, it might be in vain, it is entirely within my being to sometimes ignore reason and logic altogether. If God Wills it, and I move this barrel from his face, his safety is still far from assured... you can get a new servant I'm sure."

Klondike looks noticeably uncomfortable with a shotgun pointed at his face. Lacey puts a hand on Koln's cheek and speaks in a voice so low it's almost a whisper. "Look, I know he doesn't do the smartest things but you have to understand, he isn't much different from us. He didn't choose this path and at this point he's just trying to survive. Also, he's not really my servant at all. I think he just likes having me around!" She laughs and moves past Koln and his big gun towards the open door. "Now I know you came here for a reason, so why don't we all talk about this inside, no?" Klondike nervously nods "Yes...I think that would be a very good idea..."

 

[Strider_Koln]

With a scowl Koln nods. "Tell me when you get a moment Klondike, if you believe in God. Now I think I'd pull the trigger no matter what you say, but I want to know so answer me when I cooled off. Actually, you know what? I think... I think I stopped caring!"

With a maniacal grin Koln pulls the trigger, and nothing happens. "Huh.. odd I distinctly remember loading it... I guess you do believe in God afterall!" Koln laughs loudly and gleefully as he lowers his unloaded weapon.

He follows Lacey inside, walking next to Clover and whispering to her, "Are you okay? Did he hurt you at all?"

 

[izillama]

Reluctantly, Clover followed after the group. She felt her nerves overtake her, and the powerful high she had gotten from the last few minutes had finally worn off. She was just regular Clover, now, and she felt shaky with fear.
Koln fell into step behind her, and his whisper sounded like a prayer of calm. She nodded, sheepish, trying to sound brave, "N-no. I'm fine. Thank you, Koln."
Hoping that her quavering voice didn't give her away, she nodded towards the pig-tailed girl, "Um... is that the mystery woman you always talk about? What's-her-name? Um... Lacey?"

"Yeah... that's her. As odd as it sounds, it seems like I have memories of stuff before it happens... like she was in my memory long before we met her. And that night with the hunter.. somehow I knew about him before it happened... it makes me constantly question the so-called 'linear' nature of Creation, heh it's maddening. No matter... I'm happy you're okay and sorry I wasn't able to get to you sooner."

Lacey leads Klondike and the rest of the group into the sitting room. She turns on one of the lights and motions for everyone to sit down. Klondike proceeds to sit down next to her. Once everyone else is seated she asks "Alright, now I know you all didn't show up here just to see me or Klondike. What brings you here?" Klondike says "They want those notes I stole from Liverman. They they say that he sent them. I would have given up the notes but I wanted a little sustenance first, you understand."
