Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Clover heaved a sigh of relief as she and Ruby watched Mindy leave and shut the door behind her. Then, Clover turned to face the rest of the room again.
Suddenly, her eyebrow quirked, "Wait a minute..."
She did a double take. Her empty dresser top. The open window.
...
Bingo.
Clover found herself gritting her teeth in disbelief. Then, as if to confirm her worst fears, she suddenly noticed a folded note left on the dresser in her poor appliance's place. She stiffly crossed the room, unfolding it and reading.
She paused after finishing.
Took a moment.
Then growled, livid, "He didn't...!"
Then, without offering Ruby any sort of explanation, Clover raced out of the room and down the stairs.
Ruby was speechless as she watched Mindy attempt to give the people on the other side a peep show. Every now and the Clover would look at her as if to say 'say something!', but Mindy seemed too bizarrely in right field for her to make conversation. Finally, they were back at the dorm and Mindy left. Clover found a note in which she read it to herself. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she raced to another part of the room. "He didn't.. At once, Ruby concluded Koln did something strange again, but before she could say anything, Clover raced out the door.
Ruby chased after her, hoping not to see Clover biting Koln.. she did look like she was hungry..
goodnightz everyone ^.^

"Oh, hiya girls!" Koln cheerfully greets them at the door. He can tell Clover's upset, so he turns to Ruby. "You look good tonight Ruby, a good night's-er day's sleep does wonders. Let me guess, a dreamless slumber, am I right? I envy you."

Koln just prays that Clover does not peek at the side of the dorm where she will find her microwave in charred pieces. Koln forced a confession out of it, the old fashioned way. Fortunately, some already-drunk frat boys (or, to Koln, noble and goodly Catholic men) were more than helpful in aiding Koln in his task and supplying the booze.

Clover didn't even let Koln finish speaking. Her microwave was gone, and she knew exactly who to blame!
"YOU IDIOT!"
She rushed forward (completely out of her mind!) and right-hooked him inthe jaw.

Koln ducks as Clover tries to punch him in the face. Koln is shocked at being attacked like that from Clover. Could this innocent-school-girl-gone-vampire be in leagues with the evil microwave!?

Ducks Clover's punch while supporting his hat with his hand. "Agh what in the name of God has gotten into you?! Geeze, after I crack the conspiracy I will buy you a hundred evil microwaves!" Koln says as he cautiously backs away from the enraged Clover, holding his hands in front of him as if to say 'I surrender!' before briskly moving behind Ruby, using her as his shield.

"Hey waitaminute... you were at that club, your skirt is too short, you own an evil microwave, you just tried to brutally attack me... I got it! You are in on the conspiracy! You are definately in league with that witch Stephenie Meyer, as I have found her pro-vampire propaganda trite 'Twilight' in your room! It isn't actually that bad, needed something to thumb through while I was concealed under your bed, er anyway, you are in on the conspiracy!" As Koln starts to think up of methods to get her to confess he notices her aura, and can sense her morality. She is definately still Catholic, baptized, and pure, well more pure than Mindy in any event. Underneath it all she is just confused and scared, but eyeing him with contempt and pitty. He notices something else, a growing weed that strengthens every night she spends as a vampire. She will change...

"I'm sorry Clover. I will fully compensate you for the microwave, we will get one that isn't evil this time.
 

Ruby gasped as she witnesses Clover's attempt of punching Koln in a rage. She made a squeek noise as Koln ducked quickly to avoid the hit. He soon ran behind her for cover. 'what the heck is going on here' she thought frantically. "Now you two, lets talk this over. Clover, that wasn't nice to attack Koln. Koln, you shouldn'e destroy Clover's personal things," she said calmly as she negotiated. "Lets be adults now and focus on tonight's goals ahall we?"

Clover's aura is a gold color. According to our little chart on the OOC it means a student, or one who is straining at studying; overly analitical to the point of feeling fatigued or stressed; trying to make up for "lost time" by learning everything all at once.

(If this were an anime, a vein would be throbbing on Clover's temple at this point.)

One moment her fist was sailing through the air. The next moment, Koln was cowering in fear behind Ruby.
Clover blinked once.
Twice.
Where had that come from? Well, she knew that she was mad about her microwave (even if she also knew that she no longer had any use for one). But really, thinking backwards about five seconds in time, she felt stupid. Especially since Koln had been able to dodge her fist so fluidly.
It was odd to think that someone like Koln, with his height and muscle tone, could be so graceful! He wasn't as graceful as Ruby, though. Clover felt like a pelican trying to compare herself to an eagle and a swan.
It hardly seemed fair.
Drawing a breath, she sheepishly pulled herself out of her awkward fighting stance. She looked at Koln and Ruby with apologetic eyes (real ones, not just trying to win them over), "Ack... I'm sorry. Koln. Ruby. But... you really shouldn't steal my things and break them, Koln. And then... Mindy coming back out of the blue kind of had me on edge. And I'm really hungry... or thirsty or whatever. I'm just kind of stressed... and the whole microwave thing..."
She shook her head to clear it. Clover never though that she would see the day where she of all people would be caught apologizing like a whiny little kid. She wrung her hands, clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation.
Then, she offered, "Koln, I don't need another microwave. It's... fine. Just ask before taking any of my things next time, okay? Really, I'll share. Hell, maybe I'll even let you throw my hair dryer out the window next, if that'll make you happy."
She tried to smile, but it came out weakly. She was already breaking her promise to herself. She was being weak in front of the people that needed her most.
Another moment passed, and she sighed. Then, she looked at Ruby, answering her question from before, "Ruby? I know we have to find Suzie. I mean, I'm guessing that's one of the goals you were talking about. But, before that..." she hesitated. Koln was going to hate her. She averted her gaze from both of them, "Before that, I think I might need to... eat. If that's ok? But I'm kind of worried. I mean, that cow blood last night did nothing for me. And I've been by three humans today who all did nothing for me. I mean, is that normal? Koln, you know about vampires, right? I mean, is there a reason that nothing is smelling good to me?"
 

"Heh, close one there Clover, you almost caught me. I understand that you're upset, and I really did not have a right to destory something that belonged to you, but I am certain it wanted us dead. No matter, I will buy you a new microwave, one that isn't evil! Hm, funny you should mention your hair dryer, I am certain that's been trying to poison me. Hehe I'm just kidding, I'm not THAT crazy,"

As Clover confesses her hunger Koln rests his hand on her shoulder, "Clover, there is no shame in admitting your hunger, NEVER be afraid to admit it. Bad things will happen if you try to control it. Trust me, the perverse impulses inherent in vampirism cannot be bound within the boundaries of Grace nor reason. As a matter of fact, I wouldnt mind feeding again soon myself."

"Hm, I have heard of some vampires being more 'picky' about their victims than others. Actually, as it just so happens, I've recently read about a vampire that sought out depressed victims, supposedly he preferred the depression inherent in their blood. This makes perfect sense in the old Galen theory of blood. You see, for centuries it was believed that blood contained 'humors.' These 'humors' were said to alter one's behavior, and some scholars, including myself, contend that the humors can also influence one's health and physical appearance. Granted, this was the accepted scientific theory of blood before that bastard William Harvey had to screw everything up. But in any event, you sense the humors, it is like a drug to you, and you are attracted to a certain kind of blood. Now Clover, your first victim, what was he like? You will never forget your first, and I am willing to bet that it was male and young, anything else? Again, their is no shame in having a certain taste to your food, and not merely ingesting anything. However, do not let it overcome you, especially since you only hunger for living people. With the Grace of God, I pray you can control your hunger and only take what you need... but it will be extremely tough. If you should fall or weaken, know that I will not judge you, I am your friend afterall." Koln smiles, gently patting her on the back.
 

Clover smiled amiably as Koln patted her on the head, holding on to the small thread of hope that she might be back in his good graces, or at least headed that direction.
Then, her eyes hugged the air as she thought back to that police officer she had fed from, "Yes, he was male and young. Maybe young to mid-twenties, even. Male, of course, like you said. He had blonde hair. Blue eyes. Kind of pretty for a guy, you know? Very... Aryan."
She wondered at her choice of terminology for Hitler's wet dream.
But then she shrugged.
She was still taken by the beauty of the man she had chosen to feed from. For a moment, her eyes strayed to Ruby's face. Clover felt herself blush, 'Really need to figure that out, Clover!'
