Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Lacey takes her phone out of her bag and looks at the time "It's almost 3AM, we still have some time. There's one other building here where someone evil could be hiding. Let's take a look-see and if we find nothing then we go home, kay?"
Ruby closes the pocket watch and looks at everyone else in complacency "I guess the night is still somewhat young. You think we can make it?"
Was there any photos or anything of interest in the pocket watch?

Clover sulked (almost childishly) as she responded to Ruby and Lacey, "Well, no one listens to me when I say that we should go home. So sure: Let's just keep traipsing blindly through this never-ending hell of a night. Clearly, I'm out of my mind for wanting to head back to the safety of the university while we still have all our limbs in-tact. But hey: I'm just the highly educated and sane one in the group. Let's not listen to me." She crossed her arms in aggravation, noticing that no one had really bothered to pay her any heed. But hey: They never did!

"H-hey! I'm highly educated and s-er oh... I see what you did there... Well that still doesn't change the fact that we are coming dangerously close to dawn. I agree with Clover, we are vampires, we have an ETERNITY to figure this out, so why rush? Seriously, it isn't worth digging any deeper tonight, for we'd only be digging our graves to Hell. It is 3 in the morning, and at this hour the Devil is strongest. It is foolish to wander any more into his clutches." With that Koln crosses his arms and stands next to Clover.
"Socrates agrees, and so does my friend, Mr. LeSaint.... I saved his life you know."

Koln's crazy mind:

Ruby

I forgot all about this so here is what you find inside the watch. It wa originally a wrist watch but we can call it a pocket watch.

There is a photo of a middle aged man and woman standing next to each other smiling in front of what you can assume is the farm you are at now in a much happier state.
[/sblock]

Lacey sighs and says "I know that little bastard is here, I can feel it. However, if everyone wants to go back then I can't stop you."

Lacey sighs and says "I know that little bastard is here, I can feel it. However, if everyone wants to go back then I can't stop you."
Ruby tears up after closing the watch and nods her head. "I'm sorry everyone, but that bastard has to pay for what he/she has done to this couple. I'll stay behind and fight if need be.."
 

Clover held herself back from firing back at Ruby for wanting to stay behind. She bit her tongue, 'No, if I argue with Ruby, I'll just lose Koln. And I've already got him on my side...'
She smiled--fake, but convincingly friendly--, "Oh, that's so kind of you, Ruby. Isn't that kind, Koln?"
She turned to Koln, emphasizing her last words as she gestured to Ruby in a clear, "Do something! Hint hint!" manner.
 

The Neighbor's Farm

Ruby tears up after closing the watch and nods her head. "I'm sorry everyone, but that bastard has to pay for what he/she has done to this couple. I'll stay behind and fight if need be.."

Lacey stands next to Ruby and crosses her arms in front of her chest nodding. "I'm with her!"
 

Lacey stands next to Ruby and crosses her arms in front of her chest nodding. "I'm with her!"

[sblock] Monsieur LeSaint walks over next to Ruby and Lacey, crossing his arms.[/sblock]

"Traitor!" Koln's outburst seems directed at Lacey or Ruby, it is uncertain. But he promptly goes silent, staring at nothing.

[sblock] The wall behind Ruby opens up, like a door, and a familiar figure wearing a priest's collar with battle dress uniform steps out from it. A spotlight, seemingly from the heavens, focuses on him as canned applause plays. The hunter puts an arm around Ruby and looks up from under his hat at Koln with a cocky smirk. Koln immediately goes to his firegun but finds it missing, to canned laughter.

"Looking for this?" The hunter taunts, holding the firegun which oozes blood from his barrel onto the floor in a thick scarlet puddle. "I too vote you should stay. Hahaha! Yes, stay.." He takes out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on, "And watch the clouds part and God's Light shine ALL OVER ALL OF HIS CREATION!"

Koln curses under his breath and is about to rush at the hunter, but in an instant he's gone, and only Lacey, Ruby, and Monsieur LeSaint (whom the others still can't see... well maybe Lacey, I don't know) stand before him."
[/sblock]

"Ah... a word with you..." Koln walks over to Lacey, seemingly to approach her, but stops about a foot away, turns, and walks to the corner of the room, babbling in some odd mixture of sounds. A few French words here and there can be picked out.

"Avez-vous perdu la raison ? Je ne me fie pas à elle depuis une seconde et, ni si vous! Pourquoi... Ils sont toute la vermine, vous le savez!.... Non pas, qui est différent.... Bien pour les démarreurs, les corbeaux ne boivent pas de sang. Oh c'est injuste... Oui, je sais qu'elle restera peu importe que, vous avez raison... Socrates m'approuve même... No. .. peut-être... L'amende parfaite, vous les deux la victoire... Je le déteste bien que, pourquoi ils ne m'écoutent pas jamais ? Si chacun a fait que j'ai planifié nous aurions des réponses... Je sais le droit ?! Haha! Vraiment bien ils ne sont pas ... absolument désespéré il est décidé."

Translation
[sblock] "Have you gone insane? I don't trust her for a second and neither should you! Why... They are all vermin, you know this! ....No no, that is different.... Well for starters, crows do not drink blood. Oh that is unfair... Yes, I know she will stay no matter what, you are right... Socrates even agrees with me... No... maybe... Fine fine, you both win...I hate this though, why don't they ever listen to me? If everyone did what I planned we would have answers... I know right?! Haha! Yeah well they are not absolutely hopeless... it is decided." [/sblock]


Koln sighs and stands next to Ruby, sliding more rounds into the magazine to his firegun. "One hour... no more. If we die, I will not be, as they say, the happy camper as Behelzebub feasts on my intestines." He shoots Lacey an angry glare then looks back at Clover as if to say 'I'm sorry!'
 

After Koln's outburst (which you can assume Clover should have been able to understand intermittent words from), Clover was expecting Koln to turn to Ruby and try to pull her back. But when he turned and stated that he would give them one more hour, her face visibly dropped a degree in confidence, then immediately contorted (ever-so-briefly) into the image of wrath and venom.
Her voice was low and menacing, clearly aimed at Koln, and her tirade began calculated and paced and slowly escalated into a spitting screech, "Le traitre et l'idiot. Bien. J'ai manqué le soleil. J'attends avec impatience voir il encore. Et j'attends avec impatience dire le grand juge, avant que nous sommes ayons lancés dans les intestins d'ENFER, comment vous êtes permis vous être trompé par une machinations, une prostituée, un VAMPIRE!"
At her last words, she threw daggers at Lacey (the death glare!), then huffed for effect and finally composed herself, putting her hands on her hips and clearly looking hurt. Her mouth was a tight line of anger and she fixed her gaze on the floor and waited for someone to dare to make the first move out of the room.

[sblock=Following Mike's good example with a translation]
"Traitor and fool. Fine. I've missed the sun. I look forward to seeing it again. And I look forward to telling the great judge, before we're thrown into the bowels of HELL, how you allowed yourself to be fooled by a scheming, harlot, VAMPIRE!"[/sblock]

"Actually, I'd prefer it if you left..." He walks over to Clover and quietly responds, "Ruby... s'est décidée, vous ne pouvez pas le voir dans ses yeux ? Peu importe que, elle veut rester. Si cela signifie sa mort, donc la mort avec elle et en étant plongé dans les profondeurs du Brasier est un destin que j'accepte heureusement ."

He then turns to the other two girls and sighs, quite noticeably frustrated, "I feel like I am beating the dead horse when I say that if we went with my plan, we'd all be safer right now and we'd have answers. But nooo, who listens to the seasoned vampire hunter? Let's ALL go and risk ALL our lives, even though only ONE has formal training in these matters... it does not matter now. Lacey, take Clover back to the dorm, and come back with the truck to pick up me and Ruby in front by the mail box. You better return, Monsieur LeSaint will keep an eye on you, won't you? Yes, that is what I thought. Now let's hurry, we are wasting time."

Not leaving it up for further discussion Koln takes Ruby's hand and leaves the room, quite certain this might possibly be their end. He mumbles to himself quietly, "Le monde serait mieux si nous étions morts en tout cas."

Translation for Clover
[sblock] Ruby has decided... can you not see it in her eyes? No matter wha we do, she stays. If it means her death, then dying with her and being plunged into the Inferno is a fate I happily accept.

And a little later...

"The world would be better off if we were dead anyway. [/sblock]
