Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Clover cleared her throat as she stood in the hallway, a moment passing awkwardly between the girls. But she didn't want to alarm Mindy to the fact that she was ticked off. Hey, it wasn't like Mindy was her slave! She still had a life.
'Damnit, the trouble this girl put us through last night...!'
She smiled sheepishly, "Hey, no problem. You know though, going to the gym sounds like a good time. Mind if I join you? I could go quick get changed. Hey, and maybe Ruby could use some social interaction as well. Though like I said: Only if you don't mind." ^.^*

Mindy's face lights up and she says cheerfuly "Well sure, the more the merrier right!" "This stomache won't stay flat by itself!" she says as she pats her bare stomach. She says in a low voice "Although, I feel like I've toned out a bit since I became yer....ghoul was it? I feel like I've gotten a little stronger, isn't that strange?" Clover does notice a slight outline of abdominal muscles on Mindy's stomach that she knows weren't there before. It reminds her of the changes her own body has gone through since becoming a vampire, she's just felt better at everything since then like she was put into a new body.

Ruby stirs around in her slumber and finally awakes with a shriek. She looks around wildly and realizes she never was back home again. She frowned and began rubbing her head in confusion. She looked back at the sleeping Koln saddened. 'It couldn't be true.. He couldn't just kill someone unless they were really evil and demonic.' She wondered who he would have considered heretics in the past. What if he came across her village before all this happened. 'That man could have been my papa or one of my brothers if he thought they were heretics.. No! I have to stop thinking of things like that,' she thought as she shook her head and put her hands to her face.
She picked up her green dress and made her way to the shower...

Koln's eyes open. "I don't recognize this ceiling..." He mutters to himself as he squints up at the black ceiling. He sits up and strains his eyes in the darkness around him, but he fails to make out any details of the room. Remaining calm, he scours the hodgepodge of scraps of images that is his mind for any clues as to where he is. Somehow the battle with Klondike seems like it was yesterday, and foiling the Meyer conspiracy happened before... but he knew that simply could not be. There is something else too.. the farm, and that man in the business suit. He wasn't at a farm long ago, so he wonders if it was something he did and just forgot. Or maybe it is a sign from God to sacrifice all of the animals on the farm? Or maybe.... EDWARD! That must be it! Koln remembers that in Clover's copy of Twilight, Edward feasted only upon animals. Edward was at the farm! He needs to go back to that farm! Edward needs to die. And Thaddeus too!

"I WILL KILL Y-OW!!" Koln exclaims as he sits up and smacks his head on the bed-frame.
Koln chuckles a bit as he rubs his forehead. "Heh.. ow... now I'm awake? Ok let's assume so." He smiles, letting his fingers run over the familiar carpet, finding Socrates besides him. He rolls out from under the bed and sits up, hoping to greet Clover and Ruby but finds an empty bed.

Koln nods, stands and dresses, thinking about where the girls could be. "Well... a rational person would assume that they're fine. Clover's probably at class, and maybe took Ruby with her for fun." He grins, taking his S&W and putting it in its holster under his coat. "Unfortunately for the Devil, Meyer, and Thaddeus, I am not a rational person! They may be in trouble, and I will not rest until I find them. And I know just who to ask." Koln says with a smirk, turning on the television and taking out his gun, aiming it at the screen.

There's static, then he's greeted by a screaming yellow sponge. Koln changes the channel, "Feh, not this time Mr. Squarepants. Ah there we are..." Koln says with a cunning smirk as the familiar newscaster is now facing him. "Start talking."

Mindy's face lights up and she says cheerfuly "Well sure, the more the merrier right!" "This stomache won't stay flat by itself!" she says as she pats her bare stomach. She says in a low voice "Although, I feel like I've toned out a bit since I became yer....ghoul was it? I feel like I've gotten a little stronger, isn't that strange?"

Clover smiled back at Mindy, kind of excited for the prospect of going to the gym. The last time Mindy had taken her, she had tried to lift the barbell... and couldn't even lift just the bar itself. Though she knew she was a stronger vampire than Ruby and Koln, especially Ruby, she was curious to see how her strength had improved. Mindy's too.
She led the way down to her room and past the sound of someone taking a shower in the bathroom. She hoped Koln wasn't using the women's bathroom for his hygienic needs, but hey... he'd done stranger.
Luckily, she opened the door to find Koln inside... pointing his gun at the television. Clover sighed, hoping that Mindy wouldn't freak out, "Good evening, Koln. You're not going to destroy this appliance too, are you?"

"Not if he cooperates... Now tell me where they are!" The scared newscaster points behind Koln.

"Oh look behind me? That's the oldest trick in the book. I wasn't embraced yesterday!" Angry, Koln gets up, going to get a bigger gun to blow the television to bits but stops infront of Clover. "Ah Clover! How was class? I was just watching a little television. Hello Mindy, you need to do penance you know. Seven 'hail Marys' should do it. Make sure she does it Clover. Uhm, where's Ruby?"

The shower provided a tiny bit of comfort for Ruby, but not enough to wash away the flashing images from her head of the dream. She screwed the left handle quickly to the left until the water was scalding, yet there was no difference. She looked over to one of the shampoos she has never used before.. suave mountain strawberries She opened up the bottle and took a quick sniff before lathering up. 'Smells nice, but not like the strawberries I've smelled before,' she thought with a smirk. That gave enough time to distract her mind for now. She dries off and slips on the meadowy green dress.
Opening the door she sees Clover and Mindy who looked like they've just arrived. "Good morning," she said cheerfully. Her eyes then flicked to the left and met with Koln and his pointed gun. They widened a bit, but she tried to shake it off. "Oh heh, morning Koln.." she said weakly smiling.

Clover's eyes flickered a bit shyly over Ruby in her pretty green dress, and she found herself taking a moment to smile in greeting, "Good evening, Ruby. Did you have a nice shower?"
Before she could get an answer, she was walking across the room and rifling through drawers and wardrobes to produce two outfits for the gym. She handed Ruby a pair of black sweatpants, a white t-shirt, and black hoodie with a bright red heart on the front, "Here, put this on. We're going out." Then, she took out an outfit for herself: Black capris and a black tank top. She also handed Ruby a pair of shoes and began to pull off her own, speaking offhandedly to Koln, "If you wouldn't mind, monsieur, a little privacy?"
She grinned at him, her friendliness completely fake, "Oh, and if you do anything to my television while we're gone, I'll Command you into next week."

"Command me into next week? You can do that?! Time travel...?" Koln tilts his head to the side, wondering, and lowers his weapon from the television.
"Ah Ruby, good evening. You look beautiful in that dress... and Clover is giving you sweatpants and hoodie..? Heh, women, always changing clothes. Privacy? No problem! I will stand guard outside the room." Koln leaves the room, closing the door behind him, but before it latches he runs back into the room, scoops up Socrates from the floor, and leaves with him shutting the door behind. You can hear Koln giving the rodent a stern talking-to outside the room.

The girls leave for the gym leaving Koln alone in the room with only Socrates to comfort him.

Mindy says as you make your way across campus "Half of the exercise is just gettin there!" The fitness building is on the opposite side of the campus. You cross through a large open field where a few of the more thick-blooded students are tossing a Frisbee back and forth. For the most part the only people outside are students going between classes. "It's really cold up here in Denver, how do people stand it!" Mindy says as she clutches to the hooded sweatshirt she threw on before leaving.

You reach the Hamilton Gymnasium and follow Mindy down to the workout room. There are a number of students down there, most of them look like they are on some kind of sports team. You can see the linebackers of the football team lifting weights as big as boulders and slapping each other on the rear ass they cheer each other on. Mindy shows Ruby where to put her sweatshirt away before going over to the treadmill. "We can start here. I always like to jog a little to warm up. Maybe you two can challenge the boys to a weight lifting competition later! That is, if you can lift more than the bar this time Angie." Mindy teases Clover as she helps Ruby figure out how the treadmill works.

Koln is in the room alone with Socrates and of course Clover's animals as well. Socrates looks up at Koln from the bed.

Socrates says "Great minds think best when they are alone. What do you think happened to that Lacey girl? It's good that you got her out of your head without a drill. What do you think she's doing now? Do you think she has any friends?"
