Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Tale_Weaver]

The Neighbor's Farm

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.

Lacey looks at Ruby who at this point is totally lost as to what is going on with all of the french flying back and forth. Lacey says "If I didn't know any better I'd say she just called me a prostitute! But don't worry Ruby, I know exactly how to handle this." Looking at Clover she says "Il y a un rongeur dans votre slip!" and then looking over at Koln she says "la table est prête pour le dîner."

To Clover: "There is a rodent in your underpants!"
To Koln: "The table is ready for dinner."

"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."

Lacey follows Koln as he pulls Ruby behind him and says as they head down the stairs "You know, we are pretty far away and I can't just leave you and Ruby here. Maybe Clover can just wait in the truck?"

"Then feed the table already then Lacey! And wait with Clover in the truck! It is pure madness to leave her alone by herself when there's undead about. It is either that or we don't venture any farther tonight. Either way, I do not want Clover to be alone and will not leave Ruby's side!"

Lacey grumbles and says "What do I look like, some kind of babysitter? Let's just go..." Lacey trails off as something outside the house catches her attention. Looking through one of the kitchen windows you can see the silhouette of a man looking in.

*Blink Blink* Dumbfounded by all the various French words firing back and forth, Ruby starts off in the other direction. "Man you guys, hold it together already, so let me be dust if need be, do what you want," she said aggravated. "With her back turned she then said quietly, "Just.. something needs to be done.." She suddenly glares at the silhouette at the window. "Hey you!" she cried out, clearly having lost her patience by now. She runs towards the source of the shadow.

Whoever the man was, he sure is fast! Before Ruby can even get outside the house, the man is across the yard and entering the barn.

"Argh!" Ruby growled as she pursued the runaway man to the barn. The more she ran, the angrier she got. Her eyes glowed bright green as well. She entered the barn and frantically looked about for the hiding man.

Koln blinks, he was holding Ruby's hand the whole time which meant she, quite literally, dragged him all the way here. He sighs and shrugs, producing his weapon and helps her look.

"Come on out. I am here to kick ass and serve communion, and I'm all out of the Christ crackers...." It then dawns on him that the person running might not be a villain at all, but possibly a survivor. He quickly puts his gun away and gently rests his hand on Ruby's shoulder. "Be careful, this person might not be hostile... I will make you a deal, you remain level-headed and I will make an effort to be rational about this, hm?" Koln waits for an answer looking into her glowing angry green eyes. "Hm, my eyes are green too, your's are nicer though..." His gaze lasts a few moments too long but he soon remembers himself and looks away. "Right, good talk.."

He turns abruptly and searches the opposite side of the barn, calling out:
"Come on out, did I say I am here to kick ass? I apologize, but my English is poor, I am not from around here. I am actually from Fr-" He stops himself, thinking that it might be unwise to give details about himself so loudly. "Er, Detroit, yes, I am from the Detroit, oui, and what I meant to say was... oh what is it that you Americans like... hm, oh! I am here to serve the cake!"

Meanwhile...

Clover stood by herself, arms crossed, trying to collect her thoughts. Koln and Ruby had just run blindly out the door after the silhouette of a man and (since I'm assuming that Lacey is still asserting her "not a babysitter" stance) Lacey had just followed them. And what had Lacey just said about a rodent? Her French was terrible!
Alone, confused, frustrated, and desperately desiring a hot shower, Clover looked down at the decapitated mess at her feet. She wrinkled her nose in disgust at the creature (not realizing that they were once human--Clover is not a horror/sci-fi buff, after all!) and began talking to it with disdain, "You see what you've done? If you and your brother down there hadn't had the audacity to exist in the first place, the four of us would be well on our way home by now."
She rolled her eyes and kicked the zombie's head gingerly to the side. Then, she began to slowly and purposefully stalk out of the house, arms still crossed, after her ex-friends ("ex" because they were all traitors and no one would listen to her!).
She began a low, complaining grumble in the back of her throat as she walked, "No one ever listens to me. I was only the valedictorian of my class. I only left high school with a 4.0 GPA. Oh. But I'm blonde. and I'm female. Clearly no one should listen to my dumb ramblings. Certainly not the only sane one in a group of the less-than-mentally stable, less-than-worldly, and less-than-virginal. Oh no! Let's just run right outside into danger with sunup in about two hours. We'll be absolutely fine..." (Clover's grumblings continue into the distance. Insert imaginative dialogue here ^.^)
