Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

...
Happy that she was sitting in the back and that no one could observe her, Clover suddenly sat bolt upright as she heard a whisper in her head. Painfully, she shut her eyes and grumbled her displeasure in her throat, 'Oh... perfect. Now I'm starting to hear voices like that idiot Koln!'
At first, she tried to convince herself that it had been a product of weariness. However, having heard voices in her head from her inner Ventrue before, she began to believe that maybe... maybe... there was something there. And that was terrifying.
Before speaking, she glanced up to make sure no one was looking. Then, she covertly extracted her cell phone from her purse and glanced at the screen.

When you take your cell phone out you see that the sound is definately not coming from the phone. You see an object shaking a little in your purse and when you examine further you find that it is the horse shoe you took from the Emerson Estate.

'Oh... great. So, not only am I hearing voices, but I'm hearing voices coming from a haunted horseshoe? Why did I even keep this thing in the first place!?'
She shut her eyes in a calm, measured expression, as though she expected that she was going to start screaming if she didn't check her emotions. Then she shrugged. They didn't have anything to lose and they were already lost. So why not?
She leaned forward and placed her chin casually on the edge of Lacey's seat as she spoke, "You know, something tells me we should head northwest. Also, if you need any specific directions, I would be happy to look them up on my phone. Ok?" 'Like... before you get us killed?'

"Lost hm? Have no fear, I will check the map!" Koln pops open Lacey's glove compartment and fumbles about, finding a folded map. He sits back and unfolds, and unfolds, and unfolds and unfolds and unfolds... keeps unfolding, now paper's everywhere. Koln is in an ocean of road-maps, almost drowning in it he pulls himself up onto a heap. He finally reaches the end of the map, unfolding it one last time to a messge, written in blood, "You're ed!"

Koln's silence is broken as he fidgets a bit, slowly rocking back and forth in his seat a few times with his arms crossed over his chest. Then he goes still. A quiet moment passes before he blurts out, "The map says we're fu-er... Uhm... huh. Nevermind... Are we there yet?"

Ruby watches out the vehicle window as various trees go whizzing by her head one by one. "Meh, I can't figure out where we are either. Clover's sense of direction in this speeding machine is alot better," she says as she leans further back in her seat. "Can't wait to be on the hunt again once we're on our feet," she says as she psyches herself up. She looks at her fingernails in disbelief that claws were once growing in the same spots. At first it was scary when they first appeared back with the Klondike battle, but now they seemed to give her a more sense of power. They seemed a cruel yet necessary evil, if there ever was an idea like that to be fathomed.

"The map says we're fu-er... Uhm... huh. Nevermind... Are we there yet?"

She feigned a sigh. "Hopefully soon.."

Lacey takes a deep breath and says defensively "Get us killed!? I would never! We'll head Northwest. Unless of course your phone has a knack for finding bad guy's hiding places. Unfortunately Bothwell didn't tell anyone where his secret hideout is. Now put on your seatbelt little miss!"

Lacey keeps driving on the now dirt road. Another few minutes goes by and suddenly you see a wooden fence lining the road on the right hand side. Eventually there is a mailbox and a path leading up to what you can assume is a residence of some kind. Lacey parks the car on the side of the road and turns the lights off. It's extremely dark and you can't see more than ten feet in any direction. The path from the mailbox leads over a hill. Lacey looks around nervously and says "This might be it. Or at least there might be someone here who can give some directions. Who wants to be first to go up that creepy dark path there?"

Clover raised her hand, "I nominate Koln."

Clover raised her hand, "I nominate Koln."

"Intelligent choice Clover! I will shall return shortly. You girls stay here. If you're in trouble, beep the horn loudly and I shall fly to the rescue with all the angels and saints as my backup. I'll leave my shotgun here in case anything should happen. There's only one shell left in it anyway."

Koln steps out of the car, and takes out firegun. He crouches up against the wooden fence, using as cover, and approaches the mailbox. He opens it, hoping for a left-behind hint of who owns this residence.

There is nothing in the mailbox.

Lacey tells Clover and Ruby "Stay here, I'm going to go with him." Lacey gets out of the car quietly and goes over to Koln looking into the mailbox. She looks over his shoulder and whispers "It looks empty. Does it have anything to say?"

 

[izillama]

As Lacey walked away from the car, Clover felt a mischievous smirk cross her face, and she looked sideways at Ruby, "You know, it would be too easy to just drive off and leave them here. What do you say?"
She hoped her wicked grin conveyed that she was kidding, but with her New York sense of humor and Ruby's Amish innocence, one never could tell.
