Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

On the Road

Clover's nose wrinkled at the sudden onslaught of Lacey's stench, and she found herself making shooing motions with her hands in Lacey's direction, "God, Lacey! You're crazy, but you're not a slob. Open a window or something, for goodness sake! I can't believe I'm saying this, but when we get to my dorm, you're bathing! Oh, and go that way." She pointed out the right road to the University.

Lacey looks rather embarrassed and opens the window next to her. "Yes yes, just me and my ducky! Or wait, no...no ducky! Umm...you see, after that whole bit with Klondike well, I had to leave that house. I didn't want to, but strange people started showing up and they weren't even the normal people who come to take me away! No, these guys had faces like the ones we saw tonight, all growly and stuff....so mad, very mad....So poor Lacey has been out and about ever since, not easy with Mr. Sunshine trying to fry me all the time! Haven't had time to spend with ducky, wait NO DUCKY!! So...stinky Lacey! Anywhoo, all of my favorite things are in a trunk in the back of the truck here and now it looks like I might have a new home in the city of angels! The city of angels with my beloved...." Lacey wraps her hand around the pendant that's on her neck.

Ruby shifts around in the back seat and pokes Koln "Are you alright Koln? You've been very quiet lately." She wrinkles her nose at Lacey too and leans back in the seat again saying under her breath "And we always said that Zeakyle smelled bad! What with tending the cows and horses and all."

OOC: Ok well since Koln seems to be in a coma I guess we'll just move on then.

So with Clover's directions you all make it back to the school. It's about 2am now and the students are coming back after a night of drinking, relishing that last party weekend before classes start again. Thankfully because classes haven't started yet the security is lax and nobody stops Lacey as she drives through the entrance. We'll assume that Clover shows Lacey where to park.

As the group starts walking towards Clover's dorm Clover can feel the eyes of students as they pass by. She soon notices that although Koln does tend to get an odd look every now and again as he had throughout the last semester, Lacey is getting by far the most looks. Mostly from the male population with a few mixed looks of disgust and jealousy from the females. One group of gawking girls whisper to each other "How can she wear that in this weather?" However, none of them attempt to stop you or interact with you so you make it to the entrance of Clover's building without incident.

"Where we are going? ...I don't even know where I am, besides in my own skin and clothes..." Koln mutters confusedly

Prideful, Clover stepped forward to walk in pace with Lacey, both girls dressed rather similarly, even. She crossed her arms as she walked, as though daring any student to make scathing comments about the state Lacey was in. Clover was always careful to appear impeccable. The last thing she wanted was anyone thinking she had fallen in with a bad crowd, so the best she could do was feign indifference. And dignity.

She still wasn't fond of this girl. But she would be damned if she let Lacey ruin her own image. So, like the ragtag couple of vampires following in their wake, she would take this one in too.

Oh, wouldn't Mother be so proud of her charity works?

"Where we are going? ...I don't even know where I am, besides in my own skin and clothes..." Koln mutters confusedly.

She nodded at them, suddenly wondering if she had left their group vulnerable to attack by directing them back to her school. Had the Prince really been correct in saying that vampires had been staking the place out over winter break? Well, it wasn't like they had anywhere else to go. And Lacey desperately needed to bathe. And Clover needed a time to sit and think and strategize their next move, now that vampires weren't trying to kill them.

Clover tried to sound confident for Koln as they approached her room, "We're going to get ourselves cleaned up and back together, and then think about what to do next. We'll be ok." But she wasn't sure if she sounded as confident as she had intended to.

She placed a hand on her doorknob.

Father Koln removes his hat, scratching his head intently as he thinks... and does his best to ignore the growing hunger deep inside. It feels like MONTHS if not years since he last was filled with the Blood... months... can it be?

"Ruby! Four Leafed one! Brains! (meaning Lacey) Do not move! This place if familiar no? I feel that we have been teleported, against our will, back in time! Are they watching us...?"

Koln looks around suspiciously for anyone suspicious doing suspicious things...

Clover stepped away from the door, hesitating. There was something wrong here. She glanced curiously at Koln, half-smiling and even giggling, in spite of herself, "Four leafed one? Heh, why do I find that so amusing?"

She was indeed four leafed. Herself, Koln, Ruby, and now Lacey. Was she willing to walk right into a lawnmower trap? Hell, no.

Clover backed up, indicating for the others to do the same. She had a lot of people riding on her actions, and even she knew that she hadn't always been smart in them. She didn't like this situation. Something wasn't sitting right.

Reaching out, she tugged Koln's sleeve to get his attention. Then, she mimed listening by putting her hand to her ear, and pointed to her door. She didn't want her companions to get hurt for something so easily avoided!

"Ah, you are indeed lucky and intelligente, almost as much as ze Lacey, no? For you have rightly thought the door may not be a door at all! I shall listen for its heart beat, grip its knob, and if it coughs I will put down this abomination to God!"

While Koln keeps his eyes peeled for anyone following them, he places his hand on the knob and listens, using his heightened senses, and Spirit's Touch on the door.

 

[izillama]

Clover rolled her eyes at Koln's praise of her intelligence, making an impatient gesture with her hands, as though to say, "Yeah, yeah. Get on with it!"


OOC: good roll, btw! ^.^

University of Denver

Walking next to Lacey Clover can hear her almost making a purring sound at one of the boys staring at her. She says to Clover "So this is what they call the college huh? You know, I went to college once but all I got was a hickie and a bad itch that wouldn't go away for days! But there are so many cute boys...and Lacey is oh so hungry..."

Koln
[sblock]You don't hear or sense anyone following you. Touching the door gives you a very staticy image of someone around college age stumbling for the door, most likely in a drunken stupor.[/sblock]

Lacey looks at Koln in alarm "You are right doctor! We must check for vitals!" Lacey presses her ear to the door "I don't hear a pulse! We have a problem!"

Koln looks back at Lacey, his face solid, grim, and resolute. "Oui, I'm afraid we do. Watch my back, I am going in! For this is Satan's fevered rump, and my Holy fury is the thermometer!"

With that, to Clover's alarm (well probably, I mean when isn't she alarmed? I mean right, always wide eyed and all "Oh my God Koln stop! No! There's blood and car parts everywhere" whine whine whine") Koln kicks down her door and enters the dorm.
