Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Strider_Koln]

Clover turned her head slowly to look at her two companions incredulously. Were they kidding? They just walk into a pawn shop in the sketchy part of town and say, "Oh! I'm here for weapons!" How suspicious did that probably sound!?
'Calm, remain calm. There's a way to quench this fire, I'm sure!'
Smiling, friendly, Clover approached the counter, "What my friends mean is, we're all collectors of sorts. We travel from shop to shop looking for things to add to our collections. We know it's late at night, but we got lost on our way to Denver and it seemed like such a shame to skip this shop after all the effort it took to get here! You're probably tired, so if you could point us in the direction of your nearest display case of assorted weapons and weapons-related paraphernalia, we would me most grateful."
She allowed her eyes to twinkle, charming him. Then, she turned her head curtly to Ruby, whispering so that only she (and probably Koln) could here, "And no friend of mine is going to dress in secondhand pawn shop clothing. I'm getting you some real clothing whether you like it or not!"

Koln also whispers at Ruby, "I was thinking I should get weapons, I have the 'credentials' for them so as to not arouse suspicion... now I got you two asking for them as well?! And yeah, don't bother getting clothing here..." However, Koln knows that if things get weird, Clover could always just Command the clerk to sell them weapons, at a discount at that, but not for free, stealing is a sin afterall. Even if for some reason her ability fails, Clover still has the greatest power of all, a lot of money.

Koln looks back at the clerk and smiles. "Oh, almost forgot, also in the market for a Jericho 941 if you carry it, for some reason I've had some terrible luck tracking one down."

The shop owner raises an eyebrow at you all. "This isn't exactly a gun shop you know..." he says to you. He eyes you over suspiciously and then laughs "Oh I get it! You must be some of them role-players! That would explain your funny clothes! I got some stuff you could probably use as props but I don't have any guns really, not modern ones anyway." He walks over to one of the glass shelves and points out an antique looking rifle "It's more of a decoration really but I'm sure you can find a way to load it with blanks. I wouldn't suggest walking around the streets with it either." Kip laughs again. He then puts his finger up as if remembering something "I almost forgot, we got these here fencing swords that someone brought in awhile back. Those would be perfect for you!" He starts moving around the room like he's fencing some imaginary foe.

Kip then turns to Ruby. "Speaking of clothes, you mentioned you were looking for something young lady?" He looks at Ruby up and down seeming to size her up "I have a few things that just might fit you." He leads her over to a clothing rack in the back corner of the store filled with women's clothing. The clothes aren't the exactly hip fashion but they are still in good quality considering they're used. Kip says to Ruby "That's a very lovely dress you have on, I'm afraid we don't have anything like that but we do have a variety of everyday dresses as well."

It was either this or he goes and calls 911 haha! For clothes just say what you want and he'll probably have it. For weapons, think normal everyday items.

Koln looks down at the rifle. "Interesting, do you know what the original seller used this for? Was it for reenacting or just a show piece?" He wonders, trying to think about how much cleaning it would need. A rifle, although a bit old, would do the job...

How old is the rifle? Is it a Rev-war era smooth bore flint-lock musket? A 19th century lever-action repeating rifle? An M1 Garand straight out of WW2?

Koln things for a moment about the fencing swords, it's better than his bare hands he guesses... although his strike would have to be so precise, or his undead victim would just shrug it off. He much prefered blades that also had slashing capability so it could both stab and decapitate with ease.

Koln

As you look at the rifle through the glass case you can tell that it's most likely from the Post Civil War era. It's a Winchester Model 1873. Horribly innaccurate, it can use .38 rounds normally found in revolver pistols.

Kip looks over at Koln from where he is standing next to Ruby. "The guy must've been using that as a show piece, it looks like it was never even used. The guy didn't even want a lot of money for it so either it isn't the real deal or he just didn't know the value of it."

Here is a picture of the gun. The rapiers are piercing weapons and in their current state they don't even have a point at the end.

Ruby thinks for a moment. She wasn't sure what she wanted, but she thought it would be fun to experiment at least. "Do you have any oriental clothing or collectible weapons. She remembered China and Japan from her fourth grade history and geography classes at the village. She admired the Samurai's sense of loyalty.

Clover pressed her lips together, fighting the urge to say, "Ruby! You already dress like an Amish freak. You really want to go ahead and dress like a samurai while you're at it!? Get some normal clothing already, for God's sake!'
But then, who was she to judge? She walked around in her Catholic school uniform like it was perfectly normal, after all.
'But still! Ruby, let me buy you some real clothes!'
Clover put her arms behind her back and eyed Ruby innocently, "Really, Ruby, I'll buy you clothes!"
Then, she whispered for only her friend to hear, "I will not let you be seen in public in this second-hand, over-priced-for-their-quality trash!"
Then, she paid attention to Koln talking to Kip and thought to herself, 'I'm not too sure if I should bother getting weapons. Heh, maybe I'm the type that makes a better cheerleader than a brawler. But still, wouldn't kill to be prepared...'
Out of the blue, she blurted, "Hey, do you have brass knuckles? Though of course maybe something a little more shiny and lady-like? Hey, a girl needs to be prepared for anything! Especially in a cold, cruel world like this..." She smiled at Kip innocently, charmingly, and, most of all, like a damsel in distress.
'At least those would be small and I could keep them in my purse.'
^.^

Maybe Clover can get her cat o nine tails dominatrix whip some other time, lol.

Clover insisted again on buying Ruby clothes. Ruby finally stopped to think again, Clover has a better sense of style in this society so she should listen. Her curiosity has gotten out of hand at the moment. "Ok clover, you can help me out then," she said with a smile. "I like to see different things thats all.." she said with a shrug. "Maybe the weapons aren't that bad," she said hopefully. "Your idea of knuckle sounds pretty good too." She was trying not to get overexcited again.

Kip looks at Clover rather puzzled. "We have pepper spray here. Wouldn't that be a little more suitable for a lady such as yourself? Anyway, there is a case over there with some pocket knives and I think there are brass knuckles in there. There are also some ninja star thingies that I'm sure would peak your interest hehe!"

Koln stifles a chuckle at the thought of an Amish ninja. It might work, shuriken, kunai, kama and such are pretty nontechnological but effective.
He does have some experience in bladed weapons, so he could show Ruby how/where to cut her target to facilitate the most pain/bleeding, however his knowledge of Eastern weapons is very limited.

He looks down at the rifle, knowing it isn't very accurate but that is of little concern. For his current prey, he needs to be very close for it to be effective anyway.

"Interesting, although it is hardly in pristine condition. I will need to remember to purchase a suitable cleaning rod... "

He sighs, wishing he could go back to his home. Koln was an avid collecter of books and weapons, both of which aided in doing the Lord's Work of course. Sadly, upon moving into his rectory he blessed it himself to make sure nothing corrupt could enter. How ironic that, because of that, he cannot safely enter his own home. He wonders what will happen once the Church realizes he's missing and a new, ignorant, priest moves in, shocked to find Koln's little cache.

He looks down again at the rifle and considers carrying it around disassembled or hiding it in his cloat or pant leg, but the former being a hastle especially in a fight, and the latter just uncomfortable.

He scans the case, looking for anything smaller, specifically a revolver which he could easily carry around concealed and he wouldn't have to worry about collecting his own shell casings after murdering his target.

Clover smiled at Kip curtly, then walked over to said case, leaning down to look inside. She looked carefully for something pretty and shiny that could still pack a punch. Oh, and it had to be spotlessly clean, if possible!
