Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[izillama]

Clover squints her eyes and mentally tries to block out the sounds to no avail. She is so happy that she doesn't have to breathe, since she is sure that she would make some sound of disgust if she had to.
'Ick... Ruby went down into the sewer. I hope she's having fun down there.'

Ruby panicked upon seeing Koln in light thinking it's sunlight, but then she realized it was probably artificial. She noticed he was looking upward curiously. She walked over to him. "Hey what did you find? Did you find Socrates?"

Ruby panicked upon seeing Koln in light thinking it's sunlight, but then she realized it was probably artificial. She noticed he was looking upward curiously. She walked over to him. "Hey what did you find? Did you find Socrates?"

Koln turns and faces Ruby, his sleeve over his face, obviously disgusted by the smell... REALLY feels he needs a change of clothes... He is also surprised that Ruby would follow him down in this "Hey there Ruby, we were just leaving..." Socrates is sitting on Koln's shoulder, looking at Ruby with familiarity. "Yes, I found my friend and found this key... I don't know if it has anytihng to do with Suzie's disappearence... anyway, let's head back, Clover might be worried."
They begin to head back, talking a bit on the way.
"So... you are a heretic and a vampire... hm, possibly a witch too, not sure yet... but anyway to think, at one time you might have been a target of mine.... Heh, it is ironic but true, as you know Matthew 7:2 'For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again'. Still... I am happy I met you, Clover too. No matter what happens to me, or how my sanity distorts or changes, remember that above all else..."

As Koln is rambling and you both are walking back towards the bathroom Socrates emerges from Koln's pocket. He sniffs the air seeming to catch a scent of something or someone. He quickly jumps down off of Koln's shoulder and darts off back down the hallway taking a right at the intersection.

Clover

As you are sitting in the bathroom stall fending off the urge to pull your nose off the officer's radio goes off. "We have a report of possible persons inside the police station, they are two women and one man possibly posing as members of the church. Their last known location was in the bathrooms in the front hallway. We need all officers who are currently at headqaurters to perform a quick scan of the station, the three were not seen exiting the building by anyone." You hear the officer respond back "Officer Belhurst here. I'm...kind of in the middle of something. I'm in the men's bathroom in the front hall, I didn't see anyone in here." The radio responds back "Copy. Just do a quick search to make sure, we've already had one person gone missing from us we don't need three more!" Officer Belhurst says back into the radio "Rodger, I'll look around. Tell Sue to check the women's bathroom." You hear Belhurst getting up off the toilet "What is this " he says as he gets ready to begin his search. When he is read he leaves his stall and walks the length of the room, "Anybody in here?" he then walks to the far end and starts knocking on the stalls and opening the unlocked ones. You would think your heart would be pounding right about now but realize that it isn't, you are simply left with the cold feeling of fear building up inside you. You can't let him see you!

You suck, lol

'Oh f... u... c... k...'
Clover felt her nose wrinkle in anger as Officer Belhurst began to move down the line. She was angry at herself that she hadn't followed Koln and Ruby into the sewer, but not sorry that she had done so. Either way, she felt like her stubbornness was about to get her into trouble.
She thought quickly. She wasn't too sure of her new ability yet since this was the first time that she had ever used it. She had used it on Sue, yes. But she had already heard that Sue was up and moving again, and now searching the women's bathroom.
'Damn Koln. Damn Ruby. Leaving me here like this.'
The officer got closer, and she still had no thoughts to show for it. She allowed herself a slow breath to at least be able to feign control of the situation.
'Meh... ok. Option A. Attempt to make him sleep. No. Sue must have told them what I looked like by now. This guy would only say the same thing. Option B. Just run. I'm pretty quick, but I'm not sure that I could get past so many men. Option C? Get caught. What's the worst they would do to me? Hm... maybe put me in a jail cell? Where I might be subjected to sunlight once the sun came up?'
Vampire.
Clover's eyes went wide. She knew that sometimes, in times of extreme fear, a person might go into shock. Maybe even pass out.
She wondered--just for a moment--if she might be able to pull off something so horrifying that he would just zonk out? 'If so, I promise myself that I'll go into the sewer. This is getting too dangerous.'
But she had to hurry. He was only a couple stalls away! Luckily, other stalls were locked so it was taking him a time to unlock them.
Time to get scary.
She felt her now pointed canines in her tongue and licked her lips. Imagine:
Blood.
Violence.
Assaulting Suzie. All the violent things I could have done to her. She would scream. I would have torn into her throat, like a wolf into a sheep. Let the blood flow! Ah, there it is. Crimson warm. Spewing endlessly from her neck. Her eyes roll back into her head from the loss of blood. It washes over my tongue. So good. So sweet. Just like a little girl. Probably sweetened from candy. Sugars. She tries to pull away. I embrace her closer. My teeth delve again. She cries out, but does not struggle. My fingers dig into her arms. Bruising. I've bruised my fruit! I don't care. It's still as sweet and delicious as it is perfect...
Clover's altered memory of attacking Suzie was a bit unnerving, but effective nonetheless. She even bit her own lip to simulate for her mind's eye what blood would taste like at that moment. She felt a drip fall down her chin towards her throat. She focused on how hungry she was at that moment.
Suddenly, her vision flashed red! She was fairly certain that she did not want the blood of this mortal coming towards her. She did not like his scent. It was like trying to get someone to salivate over turnips.
But the thought of Suzie--helpless and struggling, bleeding in her arms--did it. She allowed her mind to wander to other violent images. She was sure her eyes were frightening now. Out-of-focus. Maybe even red? All she saw was red.
Blood dripped from her fangs.
The lock on the stall began to wrench itself open.
She prepared to pounce!
Don't kill him.
Don't hurt him.
Frighten him so badly that he loses all sense of self...

"Socrates, where are you going?!" Koln growls to himself and chases after him... realy did not want to stay too long away from Clover. As Koln runs, he's surprised that Ruby is more than able to keep up, exhibiting her feral quickness. He easily manuvers around puddles and other obstacles on the ground, still using his heightened scenese. Out of habit he starts breathing as runs, only to stop for a moment and gag, and continues, this time wihout breathing. "Ruby, you should head back to Clover and leave the station, I will meet you two outside where that grate was... provided nothing has happened to Clover yet... or, more accurately, anything happened to those above ground."

The Officer opens the door to Clover's stall and gasps at the sight of Clover not expecting to see anyone in the stall. He is a tall blond-haired man who looks like he is in his early thirties. He is slightly built. His blue eyes open wide at the sight of Clover and he instinctively reaches for the club at his waist.

The Sewer

"Socrates, where are you going?!" Koln growls to himself and chases after him... realy did not want to stay too long away from Clover. As Koln runs, he's surprised that Ruby is more than able to keep up, exhibiting her feral quickness. He easily manuvers around puddles and other obstacles on the ground, still using his heightened scenese. Out of habit he starts breathing as runs, only to stop for a moment and gag, and continues, this time wihout breathing. "Ruby, you should head back to Clover and leave the station, I will meet you two outside where that grate was... provided nothing has happened to Clover yet... or, more accurately, anything happened to those above ground."

Koln and Ruby follow Socrates who has run down the tunnel to the right. The surroundings start to look more like a sewer with brick walls and water flowing through the middle. You can see a dimly lit area at the end of the tunnel and the sound of water falling like a small waterfall. You come to an open room with a platform in the middle and many small tunnels lining both sides and a larger tunnel pushing the water out of the room at the end. You figure this must be the central hub for Denver's sewer system.

"Ruby, you should head back to Clover and leave the station, I will meet you two outside where that grate was... provided nothing has happened to Clover yet... or, more accurately, anything happened to those above ground." Koln says to Ruby. Just then Socrates appears out of one of the tunnels on the right wall. Koln can hear him saying "I know he's here.....I know he's here!"

Ruby and Koln make Reflex Saves. Also, I want to know if Ruby is going to go up and help Clover or stay down with Koln. All this and more in our next exciting episode of Vampire: The Masquerade, so please wait for me! And look! Here is a map of the room you are in.

Surprise! (I have no pluses to intimidation, unfortunately. Clover is as intimidating as a declawed kitten...)

Reflex save
Ruby quickly takes action before adhering to Koln's words with feline-like graceful movements.

She later questioned Koln's advice. "Darn it, what if Socrates needs to talk to me?"
She growled again and responded reluctantly "Alright Ill go back.."
'gee he is stubborn... but has a good heart'

Ruby did a quick 180 degree turn and sprinted off in the opposite direction.
She tried to take giant "jumps" to increase her spee. She was now suddenly worried about Clover..
