^_^; Hey let's not be too hasty here,"
Ruby says as she tries to steady the horse.

Ruby barely manages to calm down the rowdy animal. The horse stays still and looks at Ruby.

The horse says "Sorry, I get a little excited sometimes. My name is Dusk. Let's ride!"

The Farmhouse

Koln hurries to hide, (not really sure what's available around him) and hurries to what he believes to be the most concealed spot, finding it funny that it's the monsters hiding from the helpless mortal. As he's hiding he covers his eyes but peeks between his fingers.

The old man comes out of the room after turning on the light. He only turns on the light inside his room though and not the hallway. He looks around and Koln is sure that he and Lacey will be spotted. "I swear it sounded like someone was doing backflips out here before. Who's there?" Not getting a response, the old man shrugs and goes back into the room. He starts snoring again shortly after.

Lacey moves over to Koln and whispers "You see that? He didn't even notice. It's a good thing we have this ability because he would have totally seen you curled up under this coffee table, I mean you look ridiculous!" She laughs quietly.

The Hinterlands - Farm

Seeing the light come on inside the house, Clover cursed inwardly and found herself slinking back towards the shadow of the truck, as though she were immediately visible. She whispered as though someone would hear her, "Damn, what did those two idiots do now?"
Shaking her head, she crouched low next to the truck and whipped out her cell phone, taking a quick peek and hoping it wasn't a ridiculous hour.

Clover looks at her phone and sees that she's roaming....and that it's almost 1AM. The light in the farmhouse goes back off.

"What a beautiful name you have Dusk. Now I would like to meet and possibly pick up my friend before we go off anywhere else."

With that, Ruby mounts the horse and insists in heading back towards the truck again.

Dusk rears up with both front legs in the air. It is all Ruby can do to hold on and the horse takes off in the direction of the truck.

Clover thinks she is hearing things as she hears the sound of a horse galloping. The sound gets closer and closer until Ruby bursts out of the woods on the back of a horse! The horse stops in front of the truck and Ruby is greeted with a surprised look from Clover.

"Ability? Don't be ridiculous, she was fooled by my cunning disguise as a coffee table. Now that 'merlot' back there. Was it just me or did it smell odd, like as if there was blood in it? What could that mean, and why this old man? My faculty for reason wains and shifts constantly, but I know I can count on you friend Lacey to make sense of this matter."

He speaks quietly as he attempts to pick the lock to the door.

Clover thinks she is hearing things as she hears the sound of a horse galloping. The sound gets closer and closer until Ruby bursts out of the woods on the back of a horse! The horse stops in front of the truck and Ruby is greeted with a surprised look from Clover.

After the initial surprise, Clover fixed Ruby with a dry look, stating simply (almost without inflection), "Howdy, cowgirl. What's with the horse?"

Ruby dismounts the horse carefully and places her hand reassuringly on his flank. She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "I know what your thinking, but this was the only way I could keep Dusk from bashing his stable apart," she said. "And on top of that, he told me he saw his master returning, then riding off into the woods on another horse. That means there could be two people living here," she said with concern. She kicked up some dust with her foot in a fidgety manner. "I would very much like to find out who this guy is, but I wanted to meet with you first on this."

 

[izillama]

Clover's mouth set into a frown, "His master rode off on another horse? And here I thought that old guy in there was the master. Hm... it's also rather late at night for a human to be up and about, taking a joy ride."
She thought for a moment. She was definitely curious about this new master. It seemed rather suspicious, considering what they were doing here in the first place. But she also didn't have the heart to leave Koln. What if he came out and didn't see either Clover or Ruby? What would he think?
She didn't like the idea, but there didn't seem to be any other choice, "All right, Ruby. Do what you have to do. It seems like you're in good hands with... Dusk? Um... oh, I can't believe I'm doing this. But hopefully they'll be out soon." Reluctantly, Clover pulled out her cell phone and held it out to Ruby, "Ruby, take my cell phone. But don't use it unless you have to! Look, here's how you scroll down. This is Lacey's name, under 'L'. You press this button here, then this button that looks like a phone. See how it looks like a phone? There you go. I think you've got it. If you run into any trouble, call her. Hopefully... hopefully... they'll be out soon. I just don't like the idea of you running off by yourself. But I suppose there's no choice. Good luck, Ruby."
She nodded and stepped back, hoping that Ruby had been paying attention during Cell Phone Use 101. And, most of all, hoping that the girl wouldn't need to use it.

As Koln pics the lock Lacey crouches down next to him. She whispers "Of course, how could I have thought otherwise! You must be a master of Obfuscate, so much that you make yourself look like objects or even other people! As for the strange smell, I of course must oblige to help you sort this out. Now I may be a woman but rest assured that I am completely logical in my thinking. That old man apparently lives with another man, and that man that he lives with might be a vampire. So that makes the old man....A GAY VAMPIRE!"

Koln manages to pick the lock and pushes he door open quietly. The room seems eerily familiar, like Koln has seen it somewhere before. It is a simple room with a bed, a dresser, and a desk and not much else. Pictures adorn the walls but Koln can't see what they are from outside the room. The desk is a mess of papers and the bed is made and looks like it hasn't been touched today.
