Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[ladyphoenix]

Clover stalked down the hallway, angry. Who was Koln to think that he could force her to feed from a human? Who was Ruby to empower him!?
'Who am I to push away the first friends that I've had in quite a long time?'
"Argh!"
Bursting out of the front doors, she found that she wasn't thinking clearly. Though she was sure by this time that Koln was insane, she wasn't too sure about her own thought processes at the moment, either.
Her vision went red. It was like she was peering through a long tunnel of blood to her destination.
The bio lab.
Her memory was staccato.
She was in front of her dorm.
Then walking along a pathway.
Passing the College of Business.
'Screw Jones. I don't need him!'
She saw vision after vision of where she was walking. But she couldn't remember what went on between each place.
College of Business.
West hall.
Cafeterias.
Agriculture lab.
It seemed like she walked forever. Almost in a daze.
"Angie! Hey!"
Phoom...
Clover halted as she heard her name called. She tried her best to rearrange her features into a less-pissed look. Turning slowly, she managed a smile as a boy from one of her classes approached her.
Her biology class, as a matter of fact.
The boy was holding a pile of books. He had obviously just come from the library, "Angie. Where are you doing in this neck of the woods at this time of night? I mean by the science buildings."
Clover laughed, "Not much, I felt like taking a walk."
Her vision surged. This guy looked so yummy.
'No!'
He frowned good-naturedly, "Really? You don't seem like the type."
They both shared a laugh.
The boy started to walk away, "Well, alright Angie. Don't be out by yourself too long, though. It's not safe for a pretty girl like you to be out after dark."
She thought she saw him blush.
Clover nodded matter-of-factly, "I'm aware. Thank you."
Then, they said their good-byes and he walked away.
A moment later, Clover was back on her quest.
Her mission!
The biology building was straight ahead.

Ruby saw Clover take off and sprinted after her, attempting to drag Koln for the ride.
Luckily she was stopped by a boy she probably knew. Ruby finally called out to her "Clover wait!"

Clover's Excellent Adventure

Ruby saw Clover take off and sprinted after her, attempting to drag Koln for the ride.
Luckily she was stopped by a boy she probably knew. Ruby finally called out to her "Clover wait!"

"Clover, wait!"
Clover came to a screeching halt as she heard Ruby call out her name from behind her, 'Now what?'
She turned and saw Koln and Ruby sprinting to catch up, just as Clover was about to climb the stairs to the entrance to the biology building.
'Funny, I don't remember offering to share.'
She waited patiently for them to catch up.
She looked at Koln, dressed in full priest garb.
She frowned, "God, you look like a moron who hasn't bothered to take off his Halloween costume yet! Don't you have any normal clothes? You stick out like a sore thumb."

After Clover talks to the boy, Koln smirks, teasing her. Ah... amour... young love, I love it, I am French. I think you should give him a little kiss so you two can spend eternity together..." Koln then stops himself, realizing what he's asking... he does not need anymore blood on his hands, speaking of which he sees the bio building straight ahead of them.
"There it is... I think... Soon Clover we will be satisfied."

Hm... I do... afterward we should go shopping, The Vatican blessed me with plenty of money and a large bank account which I should probably empty before they close it. However, by the looks of it, it seems like you're in no need of money either...

Koln then turns to face Ruby. "So you said you were Amish, right? No technology... Check this out, this will freak you out." Koln then reaches in his pocket and takes out a lighter, flicking it on. "Ohhh see Ruby, I instantly made fire, isn't that amazing?"

>,> Ruby rolled her eyes at Koln. "Very amusing, but as you well know, Amish people like me can use things like that, heck we can use propane too. We don't use elect-ri-city, hmph" She purred in a annoyed fashion as she crossed her arms. Then she flashed him a smirk. "Now if you want a real amish woman to show you a thing or two, try making a fire in 30 seconds using only a flint and a couple twigs while juggling pounds of heavy logs on your back" 'Dang where did that come from, Ruby,' she thought as a feral prowess grew from within. It boasted and became like a prideful warrior.
She cleared her throat, "Anyway, Clover I am grateful for you allowing us to join at the last minute."
I'm going tocontinue tommorow after work again, goodnight everyone = )

...
"I didn't say for you to come. You just... did."
'Ooh, I haven't been shopping in so long... Shopping with Ruby would be fun ^.^'

University Of Denver

After Clover talks to the boy, Koln smirks, teasing her. Ah... amour... young love, I love it, I am French. I think you should give him a little kiss so you two can spend eternity together..." Koln then stops himself, realizing what he's asking... he does not need anymore blood on his hands, speaking of which he sees the bio building straight ahead of them.
"There it is... I think... Soon Clover we will be satisfied."

Clover uses her key to get inside the Biology Building. Once inside you see a long hallway with seemingly infinite classrooms and labs. The building is still active as it is only about 6:00pm now and classes are still in session. As you walk down the hall you see what would be expected, classrooms with teachers and students, laboratories with people in white lab coats tending to chemicals of all kinds. When you reach the end of the hallway the hall branches left and right. To the right Clover knows that there is a lab where animals are held for the different experiments. To the left there are stairs, when you were outside you could tell that this was a 2 story building. Clover knows that the upstairs is mainly used for storage but there are some classrooms up there and a refrigerated Cadaver Room.

Clover also knows that there is a medical center on the far reaches of campus, it would be a long walk but there is a shuttle that goes there. I'm changing the medical center on the map here to be part of the University of Denver and not the University of Colorado.

Clover turns to Ruby and Koln, not sure of thier intentions, "Um... where do you two think you're going, anyway? I'm going that way." She pointed right. "But if you two want actual human blood, I need to take you guys somewhere else..."

Koln blinks at Ruby's response. "Er... did you just purr? Sounded feral too.." Koln thinks for a second, accidently ignoring her little blurb about logs, labor, and being Amish... his head then picks up and says in a knowing tone "Ah.. I think I see.. very fitting..." He goes silent for a bit before Clover chimes in:

"I want PRESERVED human blood yes, so I do not have to kill... I do not care what it's from as long as I see death as little as possible. I do not know what Ruby's thinking, although I believe she too would prefer preserved human blood over living animal blood. If you do kill, Clover, you are aware I will expect a confession and due penance from you. Vampire or not, your soul's ethical fiber is still a concern for me as a lowly shephard for the Lord." As he speaks his eyes tear, the sincerity in his words when he speaks about God seems to hurt him inside someway... he grabs his chest for a moment, as if something was on fire inside and his face contorts to a pained expression, gasping a bit, before abruptly returning to normal...

"We cannot waste anymore time...although it is strictly forbidden, I need to taste blood."

 

[izillama]

Clover's face was stony as she stared into Koln's cool green eyes. Then, she heaved a great sigh and grabbed her fleur de lis, "Yes, I will confess and do penance as needed. But today is not that day."
She snapped her head back up to looking at him, "I warn you, though, that what we are about to do is illegal, unethical, and probably particulaly disgusting." She shut her eyes to compose herself. She wasn't too fond of the biology lab. Cadavers and bags of blood frightened her.
But then, she had never really meant to end up there in the first place.
Finally, she motioned to them to stay quiet, then she began to lead them up the stairs. Classes were still going on, but with Clover's key they were able to pass into the heart of the biology building in relative silence and with little hastle.
Upstairs, they finally stood outside of a door that said: 'RESTRICTED- CADAVER STORAGE AND BLOOD BANK'.
Clover shivered a little and swiped her card. The door opened with a swish and chemical air wafted out into the hallway, bombarding their senses.
Inside was a room of cold, stainless steel. Along one wall were a set of small square doors: cadaver shelves. Along the other wall was the blood bank: glass cases holding pint after pint of crimson blood, backlit with a special light to keep the bags sterile.
The room was cold and silent.
Like the dead.
