Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Mindy says "Well, I guess I'll go with you to the Broadstreet. I haven't been to that place in awhile, not as easy to pick up guys there 'cus they're mostly old fogies."

You all go to the bus stop and catch the next bus which will take you to the Broadstreet. On the bus Mindy asks "What makes ya think he went to the club anyway?"
Ruby answers Mindy with her mind still racing. "I'm not too sure, but I'm just afraid he might have a run in with Edward if he behaves too erratically. He might even pump people for information about Thaddeous's whereabouts so he could be anywhere," she says with a discerning frown. 'I have to think about where else he might be, come on brain think, use your head?!' her brained screamed. "Anyone else have any ideas of where to search?"

The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round...

Ruby answers Mindy with her mind still racing. "I'm not too sure, but I'm just afraid he might have a run in with Edward if he behaves too erratically. He might even pump people for information about Thaddeous's whereabouts so he could be anywhere," she says with a discerning frown. 'I have to think about where else he might be, come on brain think, use your head?!' her brained screamed. "Anyone else have any ideas of where to search?"

Mindy whispers in your ear "You have any idea what is sam hell she's talking about? Let's just go to the club for now ok?"

Meanwhile, Clover sat sternly with her arms crossed, deep in thought. She heard the Ruby was talking, but she wasn't really listening. She figured, after all, that the girl was having the same conclusions as her. Only Ruby was much more vocal.
'I really, really don't think he'd find Thaddeus. So really, that's just leaving us with the problem of property damage, people damage, and an inconvenient run-in with prince stick-up-his-a$$. Hm...'
"Anyone else have any ideas of where to search?"
Ruby's banter finally lulled and Clover looked sideways at the frantic girl.
Meanwhile, Mindy leaned over and whispered into her ear, "You have any idea what is sam hell she's talking about? Let's just go to the club for now ok?"
She rolled her eyes, wishing the other two would calm down and think--for once.
She sighed dramatically, making it clear that she was annoyed, "Look. We're already on the bus to the Broadstreet, so we might as well go there and check it out. Come on: as soon as we walk in there, given that this is Koln we're talking about, either we'll be told that some idiot priest has just tried his luck with the manager or one of the employees will probably just tell us to go back to Edward's office for whatever remains of our dear friend." She smiled at Ruby as though to say she was joking.
"But the fact remains that Koln probably did not go to the Broadstreet, owning to the fact that Thaddeus probably wouldn't step foot in there if someone paid him, since he's already on the out with Edward. So, when we cross this club off the list of possible places that Koln wandered into more logical places for him to search for Thaddeus. Wherever that might be. Maybe he's trying to pick up the local beat from some of the residents of the area."
Clover shrugged and sat back, hoping to have a quiet rest of the ride. Then she mused, almost to herself, as she closed her eyes, "Besides, if all else fails I guess we could call that Lacie girl. She seems to have an antenna for getting inside Koln's head, huh?" She smiled grimly.

The bus stops in front of the Broadstreet. There is a small crowd of people smoking outside. You all get off the bus and go inside the club. The crowd inside looks much like the people who were there the night of the concert. You can hear a live band playing but it doesn't sound like Seventh Son. As you make your way to the front desk Mindy says "I love how we were in such a rush we came here in our gym skibbies."

When you reach the front desk the man welcomes you "And how are we tonight ladies? This is your lucky night, girls get in for free!"
 

Koln can see an orange glow at the end of the alleyway. He comes to the end and sees that there is a corner to turn there. Coming around the corner he can see that the orange glow is coming from a fire that is lit inside an empty garbage can. There are a few empty food cans littered around the area there is nobody there. A stray cat is eating some remains out of one of the cans.'

You can hear Socrates talking from inside your pocket "Kill that beast! Cats are the devil! Why don't you feed on a cat instead of my rat brethren?"
[/sblock]

Koln instantly notices the fire out of the corner of his eye and briskly turns away from it.

"You are wise Socrates, although I don't think I've ever drank from a rodent. I have read how the Devil and those that use magic can transform into cats, so I should show no mercy!"

With that Koln scoops up the cat, lifting it to eye level with him. He opens his mouth and bares his fangs.
"Mew"
"Aw, I can't do it Socrates. This animal is wild and untamed, a hunter. It reminds me of Ruby."
"Hiss!" Koln winces as the cat swipes at his arms and face.
"Gah! Now it reminds me of Clover!" Koln drops the animal which gracefully lands on its feet. He sighs, seeing no one around.
"Where would a bum go at this time of night? He can't be begging for change, there's no one about. Hm, maybe if he wait a bit he'll come back."
Koln grabs the nearest cardboard box and pulls it over himself as he crouches on the ground.
"When the bum returns, we will surprise him Socrates!"

Actually, Koln and Ruby fed on rats at the school from a dumpster. Socrates saw that and was horrified. So now we have Metal Gear solid Koln!

Koln waits around for what seems like an hour but it's really only 10 minutes. Eventually he hears a shuffling sound like someone walking. It gets louder and louder and then it stops. Koln can hear a man muttering to himself about the cold and how good tuna fish is.

Koln creeps up from behind the man with the cardboard box, and leaps to his feet, tossing the box aside and shouting "Ah Ha! I SURPRISED YOU TIN CAN TIM! Er, at least I think that's your name, anyway. *ahem* Didn't see me coming did you?! Yes! I agree that tuna fish is good! Because I am NOT a vampire, so much so that I wish I had some tuna right now. Good, we agree and get along. I am but a humble priest doing a small inquiry into matters of faith. Now, I will cut to the important bit, have you seen anything strange lately? You know, people drinking blood? Ghosts? Ghouls? Missing children? People with funny sounding names like 'Thaddeus?'"

Clover very nearly rolled her eyes at the man. Though it was no fault of his own, she knew that they had no need for this idle conversation and immediately pressed her point. She learned charmingly forward over the desk, flashing him a dazzling, warm glance of lavander as she spoke from a slightly-less-than-friendly, tad-over-fake, yet equally dazzling smile, "Actually sir, we won't stay long if we can help it." She indicated Ruby, "My friend here seems to have lost track of her boyfriend. Tall? Pale? Black hair? Top hat? Any information you could offer us would be most appreciated. Otherwise, we'll be on our way."

(and since I'm SURE he will say that he hasn't seen hide nor hair of Koln, here is the next response...)


Clover pursed her lips in disappointment, clearly forlorn yet not losing hope. She moved her hand slightly and, without anyone even being able to discern where it had come from, she produced a business card sized piece of paper in her hand.
Once again, she leaned over the man's desk, smiling warmly with her eyes, "Well then, sir, if you should see our friend, could you kindly instruct him to place a call to Angelica and direct him to your nearest telephone? We would be most obliged."
And with that, she straightened up and fixed him with a look that instantly told him she wasn't kidding around and would not tolerate any nonsense phone calls from the man himself and did expect him to follow her wishes under no penalty which he wished to imagine. And so, she flipped her hair as though he were bothering her and led Mindy and Ruby out of the club.

Tin Can Tim jumps back. He goes behind the fire and raises the can over his head. "Foul demon begone! Begone or I will land this can right between your eyes!" He squints at Koln and says "Oh, a man...or so you say. You speak gibberish. I've seen many things, but none so strange as a beast who calls himself a priest."

You are too far away to hear breathing or a heartbeat. Tin Can Tim's aura is a GOLD AURA COLOR: The color of enlightenment and divine protection. When seen within the aura, it says that the person is being guided by their highest good. It is divine guidance. Protection, wisdom, inner knowledge, spiritual mind, intuitive thinker. You feel uneasy about the fire between you and Tin Can Tim, like an inner fear.

As you leave the club the man behind the counter says "Wait, now that you mention that guy. Aren't you and the red-hared girl friends of Edward? He told me to let you know that he wants you to see him as soon as you can. I think he might still be in a meeting but you can go back to his office and see him if you want."
