The Neighbor's Farm

"Now do you see the madness inherent in being a vampire? It's not all high school and sparkling now is it?" Koln moves in the direction of Clover's arm, walking towards the object, keeping alert to his surroundings. "This is all nothing I haven't seen before..."

While walking in the fenced in area Koln can hear them all, the sounds of their incessant yelping and brawing and talking and screaming and crying. "This is not a place for you, Socrates. I'm sorry."

Talking, screaming, and crying cows would be pretty impressive.

Amongst the animal remains you find an old metal dagger lying on the ground. It looks to be covered in dry blood.

Ruby notices that the light in the fridge is working as Lacey has it open making it so that she is just a shadow in front of the bright light. There is an archway to the north of the kitchen where Ruby can see the front door. To the left is a closed door.

Ruby gives Lacey a sad puppy look and mouths the word 'sorry' as she smooths her dress with her hands. She looked in disgust at the shambled inside of the hose. Surely the people living here have been gone awhile and dirty new residents are present. She made her way to the door in front to give a peek.

+5 is correct. I don't have the map on this computer. I'll update it later and put it up.

Peering into the hallway Ruby can see a set of stairs leading to the second floor to her right. There is also a door to the left. The room is rather plain, nothing adorns the wall except some peeling wallpaper. There is a smashed coffee table on the floor. The front door is in excellent condition showing that whoever broke in only used the back entrance.

Ruby hears Lacey gasp. She then hears her whisper "Look at all these fattening foods!" before closing the fridge quietly. She moves next to Ruby and produces a small pouch with red liquid inside. She whispers "Look here. I think this whole neighborhood is full of vampires!"

Ruby observes the pouch with a sneer. "Yes indeed, but we have more tact then to ransack a house as such and leave it in this state for those poor people. Nevertheless, lets find out who's here." She moves to the door on her left begins to search for the contents. "Theres another door that is closed nearby. Would you be able to open is?" she whispered to Lacey.

Koln picks it up and starts walking back to Clover. ((Spirit's Touch...))

Clover watched Koln walk into the pasture and retrieve something with a little frown on her face. She really admired the fact that he could tune out all of the gore and focus. If she had gone in there, she probably would have freaked out. It was just too much. The scent of iron in the air was overwhelming, and she had never really liked the sight of blood and gore to begin with.
As Koln walked back towards her, she studied his hands to see what he had found but couldn't really tell what it was. She called out as he neared her, "Hey, Koln! What you got there?" Clover indicated his clenched fist.

You see a man with raggedy shoulder length hair slaughtering a cow with the dagger in what seems to be some kind of religious ritual. He is speaking in Latin and slicing the cow's throat, blood pouring out onto the ground as he yells at the night sky.

Lacey winks at Ruby "Of course, no door can keep Lacey out!"

When Ruby enters the room left of the hallway she sees that this room has remained untouched by the intruders. It looks like the living room of a typical country home and much like the one found in Emerson's ranch. Sofas and armchairs surround a central coffee table and pictures of pastures and farm animals adorn the walls. Nothing of any real interest can be found in this room.

Updated map.

Ruby smiles at the pictures of farm animals on the walls. 'Seems like the people living here would havegotten along well with my family if they ever met..' She walks out of the room and closes the door behind her. She heads over to Lacey's location. "Nothing out of the ordinary. Anything interesting here?" she said very quietly.

Clover watched Koln walk into the pasture and retrieve something with a little frown on her face. She really admired the fact that he could tune out all of the gore and focus. If she had gone in there, she probably would have freaked out. It was just too much. The scent of iron in the air was overwhelming, and she had never really liked the sight of blood and gore to begin with.
As Koln walked back towards her, she studied his hands to see what he had found but couldn't really tell what it was. She called out as he neared her, "Hey, Koln! What you got there?" Clover indicated his clenched fist.

With an angry scowl Koln throws the dagger into the dirt, "Looks like we're dealing with stupid cultists. You see now what I've been saying all along is true. It starts out innocent enough, they worship Edward, read the books, think it's all love and acceptance, and before you know it they're here, sacrificing cattle. However these aren't the ordinary cultists you find wearing all black in your American highschools. These are very dangerous... I pray for the original owners of this farm. I would administer a blessing but it hurts too much lately."

"So I will do the next best thing..." Koln slides out the magazine to his firegun, making sure it is filled, before sliding it back in and cocking his weapon. "I will send the unholy lot of them straight to Hell where they belong.... and no, we're not calling the police instead. We need find Ruby and Lacey. Yes yes oui I know, 4 vampires trotting around making noise, but I get the feeling they probably already know we're here."

Not waiting for Clover's approval, he takes her hand and starts off in the direction of the building. As he walks he eyes his surroundings suspiciously, his own Malkavian-induced paranoia playing with his senses - the rustling trees sound like whispers, the creaking barn door screaming, imps watching safely behind the rocks, ghosts rising up from the soil, werewolves watching in the distance, skeletons rattling by the barn windows, dragons preparing to hatch forth from the bright white 'egg' in the sky that is cunningly masquerading as the moon, each star a knife's point ready to come down any second in the form of a splintering hail of agony from Stephenie Meyer's spaceship overhead.... so many monsters and so little time.
