Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Tale_Weaver]

Emerson's Farm

Koln looks out of the corner of his eye, shooting Lacey an icey glare, and he whispers back to her in a very threatening voice, quite unlike his normal tone, "I concur... the most fun... don't ever touch me again."

He stands, smiling at Emerson from under the brim of his hat, "No... I am just fine. Thank you"

His hand moves into his coat, finding the firegun in its holster.

Lacey draws her hand back quickly after receiving Koln's cold reception. She notices his hand move into his jacket and she stares at him blankly.

"You're not wrong..." Koln mutters in his normal voice. He looks around, seems surprised at where he is. "Uh.. oh, hello Ruby! And Clover's here! Hello Socrates! Lacey too! Did you return those pants to that old man?" He looks around and soon receives his answer. "Ah, well done... and you..." Koln grins, thinking he's figured something out, as he approaches Emerson, "Must be Emerson, am I right? Well, Mr. Emerson, explain to me one thing.... where the hell am I right now?"

Emerson gives Koln a rather confused look "Why yes...I am William Emerson. Uh...pleased to meet you Koln. This is my house.....how you got here? Well...that is beyond me. I met Ruby here while I was off with my horse. Why are you all here anyway? Was it just because my mother's spirit was talking to you? This isn't exactly an easy place to find."

Ruby decided to speak up first, but before she did she walked over towards Koln and put a hand on his shoulder for some sort of comfort she could provide, even for a temporary moment. Perhaps the Koln she knew has resurfaced now and then instead of the one who she met back in the alley. "Hey Koln.." she said smiling weakly. She looked back at William. "Well, we happened to come accross this place by mistake at first. We were tracking a vampire who is causing trouble and harassing newborn kindred like you and us. He has blonde hair as well which was why I confused you with him. His name is Bothwell. As for actually finding this exact place.. um... Clover, you actually pointed us in this direction. How did you know?" she said while cocking her head slightly to the right in confusion.

Clover's smile was poison. Too matter-of-fact. She spoke flippantly and before thinking, "How did I know? Oh, it's easy when you have a piece of scrap metal conveniently invading your psyche every now and then. Talking directly to you so that you're not sure if you're becoming as asinine as..." She cut off abruptly, throwing a hand over her own mouth and feeling the flush of embarrassment creep unnaturally across her features.
She hoped no one understood what she had just been about to say.
She recovered sloppily, "Um... anyway, that's the story." Her last words fell flat and she unconsciously sunk back into her chair, wishing that she could sink even further and disappear into the wall. She damned herself and allowed her teeth to clamp down painfully onto her own tongue, hoping that the pain would make her feel better about almost coming clean (as she did all too often) about what she really thought of the mental capacities of her friends.
She hated herself.
And the pain did nothing.

"...as asinine as...?" Koln blinks, waiting for Clover to finish, and shrugs, not sure who she's talking about. He puts his arm around Ruby. He's confused how Emerson knows his name. He doesn't remember anyone telling him... but then again, he doesn't remember much about tonight. He was going to kill... Bothwell was it? ... Or Thaddeus... "....Thaddeus.. that's who I'm here to kill, right Ruby? That's why I'm here, in Denver.... heh, I almost forgot where is he? If he's not here, I'm wasting time. I'm here to cleanse humanity one foul soul at a time, not to return people's clothing and possessed artifacts."

Emerson looks over at Koln and then at the rest of Clover's companions, he looks back at her and gives her a knowing nod "I'm sorry. Well anyway, Bothwell?....Bothwell.....I don't recall anyone by that name. But there are other farms out here and perhaps he lives on one of them? I can't say I've heard much from any of my neighbors. The closest one is a cattle ranch but two miles from here." At this Windsor speaks up "You know, I've driven by there a few times this week and things just didn't seem right. I wonder if they went on vacation? Usually I see Benny or Jill doing something or other but the place looks deserted. They didn't say they were going away when I spoke to them the week before."

(*sigh* Ok, I'll bite. (pun intended))

Clover nodded at Windsor's statement, "Well, that certainly sounds suspicious. Since this was the way we were told to come for Bothwell anyway, maybe we could check it out tomorrow night. After all, it's rather late... or early, however you want to look at it. We should probably be going soon. Sorry to have caused such a fuss."

Emerson says "No, no problem at all. I'm glad I met other vampires, especially one who is from the same clan as myself. Speaking of which, could I talk to you one on one for a moment Clover?"

Lacey snaps her fingers as if she just remembered something. "Oh yes, that guy! The Prince told us to go find him. We should be going, thanks for being such a good sport about the pants old man. It was great meeting you!" Lacey gets up and waits for everyone to follow her out the door.

Ruby also nods politely, "A pleasure to meet you as well William, Id like to visit you and Dusk again whenever you'd like, until then, farewell for now," she says with a smile. She follows Lacey outside and feels a bit hesitant at first. She felt as if something needed to be done. She turns to Lacey. "I'd like to speak with you for a second Lacey if you don't mind," she said while rubbing own her arm.

Lacey and Ruby leave the farmhouse. It is still very dark outside but anyone can tell that it is getting very late. There is no sound and the only source of light is what pours out from the window of the farmhouse where the others are. Lacey turn to Ruby and says "Sure. what is it dear?"

Ruby new she had to set things straight before they could leave, she felt horrible about everything. She looked at her sincerely. "I just wanted to apologize about what happened back at the club. I acted rudely and selfishly when it came to Koln and you didn't deserve that. I know your only trying to help him and I really appreciate that. If him being with you can help him sort through what he is going through then I am fine with that and I will be there as well if both of you need me," she said while finally bringing a little smile to her lips.
