Koln hurries over to Clover, tightly embracing her and softly petting her hair as he does his best to comfort her. "Ohh mon petite four leafed one, shh shh it's ok. It's ok..." He then looks up at Lacey angrily, "Mon ami, there is a reason why those who do not see keep their eyes firmly shut, no? Even if it means gouging out their eyes so that the innocent ones may remain innocent, it is our duty as good Christians to see to their salvation, at ALL costs! As our Lord said 'Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.'"

Without waiting for a reply he continues to comfort Clover like a Father to a frightened child.

Lacey says to Koln "I did not put the visions in, I only take them out. I mean I just wanted for her to see something that might frighten her. Like me standing in front of her in my underwear!" Lacey looks down at herself "Oh! Clover you demon, you have undressed me!"

Mindy kneels down next to Koln trying to comfort Clover as well "Angie, what happened? What's wrong?" Looking up at Lacey she says "Get some clothes on ya crazy woman!"

Lacey walks past everyone to the bed and starts picking through the clothes she laid out before.

"Laces, I know exactly what was done. And now the four leafed Clover will be seeing all when her eyes are closed. If what she sees with her closed eyes is anything like what I see, then we all need to pray for her.... Has anyone seen the Amish woofwoof?" Koln asks, still patting Clover as she settles down.

Lacey turns her back to Koln and the others as she gets changed. "Oh don't worry Priestly Koln, she won't be like that for long. I can only give her a spoonful of our madness delight. The aftertaste might linger for a little while but soon enough she will be good and patronizing again."

She slips into a pair of thick leather biker pants that are skin tight but look effective at protecting the wearer. The matching top is similar in fashion being skin tight but fortified. It has long sleeves and belts that go around the midriff, buckling in the front. Of course in true Lacey fashion, the back and front of the top are low cut revealing some skin.

She then goes over to the other side of the room and picks up the blow dryer, plugging it in and using it to dry off her wet and matted hair.

Not too long after Ruby returns to the room all dressed. "Finally, I don't have to worry about Koln bursting in on me while I'm uncovered! Hey...why is Clover on the floor?"

 

[izillama]

Very slowly, Clover's sight came back into focus. Though still dazed, she no longer saw blood on the floor or scales on her skin. Koln materialized, and Mindy, then Lacey, and finally Ruby, who walked in the door and stared at her with concern.

Gracelessly, she tumbled out of Koln's arms and clumsily pushed herself to her feet, her head reeling. What had happened? Had she eaten some strange blood? Had Koln slipped her some of his drugs?

She heard the unmistakable sound of leather flexing stiffly, and turned to see Lacey buckling up her outfit. Lacey. What had Lacey...?

Her eyes flew open angrily. She wasn't quite sure what that woman had done, but she knew that Lacey was the culprit! She began to charge across the room, but lamely lost her conviction halfway there. Really, what was going on? She stood and stared dumbly at the floor, her hands raising to drag them through her hair and over her face and...

She panicked and she fought back tears, "W-where's my necklace?" Clover stared at everyone with wide-eyed entreaty, all of her Ventrue "bite" sucked well and clearly out of her for the evening.

OOC: Please don't actually find Clover's necklace. I think it's important that she lose it.

"DON'T ANYONE MOVE A MUSCLE!" Koln shouts in dramatic fashion, his arms spread wide to either side.

"I am not only the worlds greatest priest, vampire killer extraordinare, master marksman, and savate kickboxing champione, but I am also ze WORLDS FINEST DETECTIVE! You can even call me "Bat Man" since I am, as you know, able to turn into ze bat. Don't fret mon petite Clover, for I will find your bauble faster than you can say 'Mary Sue'"

He then turns, dramatically sizing up everyone in the room before taking Socrates out for a discussion.

"Oh? Ah. Mmmhmm, oui, good point. Ah yes, ze jelly side up... mm hmm a yield sign at ze bottom of the purple crayon.. oh! I have it! Why it is elementary my dear Socrates"

He then points to Ruby with an incriminating stare, "YOU! Cute doggie Quaker Oats! You were ze last one to leave this room! I must ask that you completely disrobe an-"

Koln stops at her audible angry growling, and rethinks his strategy.

"Ah.. well perhaps not. But again Clover, have no fear, for fear will not have any of what I have in store for it and its curly moustache! I am off to find your necklace, just as ze Prince wants us to! ALLONSY!!!" He shouts, again kicking Clover's dorm door wide open before wandering back into the dorm hall.

Ruby runs out into the hall and grabs Koln by the back of his shirt. "Oh no you don't! I may be the doggy, but I think you're the one who needs the leash!". Ruby drags Koln back into the room.

Mindy says to Clover "I don't know what yer talking about a necklace. Shouldn't we get goin'? I mean, I dunno about goin' to California. I think I'll have to catch up with ya. I can't jus' up and leave ya know. I could help keep the teachers off yer back from here I suppose."

Lacey finishes drying her hair and puts it back up into pigtails. Then she yells at the top of her lungs "READY! SET! GOOO!!"

 

[izillama]

Clover shook her head to clear the cobwebs from Lacey's little trick. This was all happening too fast! Wasn't it just an hour ago she was refusing to go to California? And how they were all set to head out?

Reality came crashing back down on her in a sudden wave as clarity finally set in. Her eyes narrowed in determination. Were those tears on her cheeks? She'd really been crying?

Angelica, get a grip! They need you to stay focused.
Oh, but California sucks!
Too bad, you need to get out of this town before you or Koln or Ruby gets hurt. Prioritize.
I am prioritized. I don't want to go to the West coast, damnit!

She stared at Lacey, "No! Ready, set, HOLD YOUR HORSES! There are still a few ducks we need to get in a row. Koln, you suggested faking the serums to buy us time? Fine. We should go to Dr. Liverman and have him help us make them. Also, if there's anything you guys want to take from my room, now would be a great time to grab it. I have no intention on ever coming back here.

"And Mindy, if you're really not coming..." She reached down into Icarus' cage, scooping him up and holding the quivering mammal close to her breast. This poor thing could smell the death on her. He'd never be happy living full time with an undead monster. Sadly, she handed him over to Mindy, "You keep him safe, you hear? And don't let him see anything I wouldn't want him to see. Pretend he's my eyes, Mindy." She stared at her obedient ghoul meaningfully.

Lacey jumps behind the dresser "DUCKS!? WHERE!!! NO DUCKS!!!"

Mindy takes the frightened rabbit from Clover "Gee Angie, you mean you'll be staring at me all the time through him? I mean of course I'll take care of him for ya. You take care now ya hear? Please call me when ya get there." Mindy puts Icarus back in his cage and picks the cage up and walks out the door into the hall waiting for the others.

Ruby starts to pack whatever clothes and essentials she can find in Clover's room "You should take everything you need, Lacey has plenty of room in the back of her truck. What about that computer thing on yor desk?"

 

[izillama]

Clover stared at her laptop and felt a groan rise up in the pit of her stomach. Shutting her eyes painfully, she pulled her cell phone out of her pocketbook and placed it on top of the laptop: One perfect piece of machinery layered on top of the other. She buried her face in a hand for a moment; not daring to believe that her life had come to this.

"Ugh... Koln? You're all into smashing this tonight, aren't you? Would you do... the honors?" Sightlessly, she indicated her pieces of discarded machinery and walked away from them in disgust. She would have to drain her bank account as soon as possible. Maybe open a new one and wire the money anonymously?

She began to tally though the checklist of things she needed to remember to do so that she could disappear, and she waited to hear that first crunch of metal and plastic...

 

[Strider_Koln]

"Well Clover, I don't know. Phew.. I'm tired... Besides, your phone and laptop have been nothing but nice to me. Now he" Koln points to the television "has had it coming for a long long long time..."

"So Lacey, how is your Church life?" Koln asks, getting his things together before leaving with everyone.
