Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[izillama]

Clover was somber as she looked at Ruby. The girl did seem to be becoming more like an animal. But still, Clover found it tough to believe that anyone as beautiful and civilized as Ruby could ever change like that. She shook her head, smiling unabashedly, "Ruby, you will never stop being who you are for Koln and I." Then, she playfully patted the girl on her head.
Leaning back, she ticked off her fingers, "When we get back, first I need to look at my schedule online. I think I figured out how I'm going to do it. I'm going to try and change all of my classes to night time classes. Then I won't have to worry about being up during the day. But Mindy would probably get suspicious, so second I'm going to write a formal letter to my RHD requesting a room change to something a little bit more private. I'll tell him that I want to focus on my studies or something and that Mindy's not making it easy. There are actually a string of rooms in the basement if my dorm that might do the trick. I'm sure that I won't have a problem getting into them. Thirdly, Ruby, we're ordering you some new clothes. No, don't argue with me. I'm happy to do it. Rather than saying that we should every night, we actually will."
She giggled and teased her cutely, "Who knows. Maybe since Koln is gone we'll even get you some of those colorful bras that you like so much, right?"

The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round

Koln

I'm not even gonna touch that one. What the hell just happened! And, a deer in the city!?

Clover & Ruby

The bus comes to the stop next to the University. You can see that the campus is dead (as in silent) as you step off the bus. You make your way back to the dorm through the quiet fields, the wind is the only sound you hear as it blows the remaining leaves off the trees. When you get up to Clover's room you find it empty. Icarus looks up from his cage welcoming you both.

Ruby

Icarus is definitely saying "Carrots? Carrots! Mindy isn't here."

You know, just to remind you, Clover gave Koln her room key. I guess we can just say that her RA let them in?

"Oh, hello my little bunny!" ^.^
Clover crooned at Icarus as they stepped into the room. She smiled as she looked into his brown little eyes, "Ruby, would you like to take him out and play with him? I think he likes you."
Then, she sat down at her laptop and snapped it open. Powering through her list was quick and relatively painless. She was happy to find that her classes were easy to change:

Clover's Revised Schedule
Biology- Tuesday 7-10PM
Business- Monday, Wednesday 7-8PM
English- Thursday 6-9PM
Finance- Monday, Thursday 6-7PM
Communications- Friday 7-10PM

Next, she wrote a letter to her RHD. It was short and to the point, but she hoped that she would be allowed to move by the next evening. She even gave them the outline of exactly where she would like to move, so she hoped that they would have no reason to not allow her to. Especially with the credibility of Mindy's "pristine" record to back her up in saying that she couldn't concentrate.
Finally, proud of the work she had done, she smiled and sat back, "Hey Ruby? Why don't you pull up a chair and we'll find you something to wear?" She turned and smiled at seeing the Amish girl play with her bunny.

Koln

I'm not even gonna touch that one. What the hell just happened! And, a deer in the city!?

This is my last long post of this night, I promise!

Feeling refreshed, Koln stands, heading to the road and what sounds like cars, thinking the city must not be far away. As he walks he thinks about the night, it seems like he's having an incredibly difficult time deciphering reality from fiction. It's incredibly ironic actually. He has always said that his mind forces his body, so he will never fall into sins relating to temporary earthly desires... However, now his mind is indeed forcing his body into this twisted framework of malkavian insanity.

He looks up, noticing that the road seems just as far away as it did when he started walking... how odd. He continues walking, then jogging, then briskly running through the trees and tall grass, all the while the road just keeps getting farther and farther away. He stops, catching his breath, and all around him he hears what sounds like a studio audience laughter followed by music. It is actually a steady quiet drum beat, but backwards, making an eerie sucking noise: "pphht, pphht." Koln then sighs... his head down and sits, deciding to wait until this "dream" ends too, until he hears a soft voice whipser in his ear.. "Help me..." Koln turns his head, seeing a little girl, a pale white light seemingly illuminating her in the dark forest between two trees. Her face is bloody, as is her neck. Koln slowly approaches, realizing it's Suzie, but stops in his tracks upon hearing a strange hissing coming from her, he looks down, and at her feet are coiled at least a dozen slimey black and brown serpents, whipping out their tongues and eyeing Koln with their lifeless small black eyes.

Paying them little mind, Koln reaches out for the girl, only to recoil as a long centipede passes from her small fanged mouth. Then, rapidly but one at a time, each tree around him goes ablaze, making the forest into a hell. Where there should be branches are now burnt skeletons, each pointing an accusing finger down at Koln.

Static... Koln sits up with a shock, he is back in Clover's familiar dorm room. He smacks himself repeatedly in the face, making sure this is not a dream... so far so good. He is not sure how the hell he got back, his memories is just a twisted mishmash of... stuff, but he's happy to be back.
"Another missing girl... Police comb the area of downtown Denver... only evidence is a charred stop-sign..." Koln hears a reporter say, looking at the strangely on television, his eyes greeted with the image of the girl he met on the bus in his vision. "In other news, citizens of Denver are advised to keep an eye on their children and pets. Tonight two squirrels, a raccoon, and a dog have been discovered, seemingly have been attacked by some sort of animal, experts expect a wolf-" Koln turns off the television. Feeling sick, full but sick, he curls up on the floor and waits for his friends.

Hm... our posts seem to contradict one another. Oops ^.^*

"Hey Ruby? Why don't you pull up a chair and we'll find you something to wear?" She turned and smiled at seeing the Amish girl play with her bunny.

Ruby nodded and held Icarus gently in her arms, cradling. "Feels good to be back," she said with a smile. Each night the dorm seemed more and more like her new home, even though she knew it probably wouldn't last long, especially when you live a life of immortality. She moved towards the fridge and grabbed some baby carrots. "Mind if I feed him, he seems hungry," she asked as she joined her to the laptop. Little by little she was getting used to technology, being somewhat skeptical, but realizing that there are good uses. "Ok I'll look with you," she giggled despite her earlier reluctance.
I'll see if I can post later tonight, I will be gone all day. Tommorow is the same. : )

 

[izillama]

Just then, the door opened behind them and Clover and Ruby turned in sync to see Koln walk in. He seemed almost possessed, like he was in his own little world. They remained silent as he stepped in and turned on the television, not looking at them. It was almost as though he didn't realize they were there.
Koln looked hellish. Dazed, he was bloody and his eyes seemed more sunken and lifeless than they should have. He flipped to the news and Clover and Ruby followed his gaze, their mouths dropping slightly at the news report, "Another missing girl... Police comb the area of downtown Denver... only evidence is a charred stop-sign... In other news, citizens of Denver are advised to keep an eye on their children and pets. Tonight two squirrels, a raccoon, and a dog have been discovered, seemingly have been attacked by some sort of animal, experts expect a wolf-"
The girls looked at each other wordlessly as he flipped the television off at this point and proceeded to curl up on the floor like a frightened child. They realized at this point that he either was ignoring them or didn't even notice that they were there.
After another glance at each other, Clover cautiously stood up and tip-toed over to Koln. His eyes were shut painfully, as though he were having some sort of nightmare.
Timidly, Clover knelt down in front of him and hoped that she could bring him back to reality, "Koln? Can you hear me? What's wrong with you?"

 

[Strider_Koln]

Ah, didn't see your post, must have made it while I was typing mine. I like how you fixed it though. Although when Koln "sleepwalks" I want his eyes to be wide open, but with a far away look. When I say he "opens his eyes" after a dream, I usually mean in reality he just blinked.

Koln lets out an alarmed shout, falling backwards, it is as if Clover just magically appeared next to him with Ruby. "Gah! Oh hi girls... didn't hear you come in... I had a hell of a night, I think... Er, you really are here right now, right?" Koln says, patting Clover on the head, "Yep, feels like you."

I had a hell of a night, I think... Er, you really are here right now, right?" Koln says, patting Clover on the head, "Yep, feels like you."

Clover's eyes flew wide, afraid for him and his reaction, "Koln! It's okay. Calm down. Just take it easy. We're right here. This is all real. Don't worry." The look on his face told her that he both did and didn't believe her. Ruby looked on in shock and concern.
For a moment, after seeing his tired expression, she contemplated commanding him to have a dreamless sleep for an hour or so. But she fought herself, deciding that he might find that rude.
She was well aware of that unbalanced look on his face. It reminded her of when she used to volunteer at a soup kitchen a few years back. There was always one man who came in, convinced that the government had implanted something in his brain that made him hear a radio in his head. She and her girlfriends had humored him, "Oh really?" But truly, it frightened Clover to see anyone like this.
She wished that she could help Koln control whatever it was that he saw.
Sighing, she sat down next to him, straight on the floor. Distract him. Help him, "So, Koln, what were you up to tonight?"

That's what happens when the players decide to make up their own story...kinda defeats the purpose of the GM.....
