Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

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?"

Before Koln can answer the door bursts open and Mindy comes back into the room. This time not even Koln had a chance to react and she finds you all sitting chatting amongst yourselves. "Hey ya'll are back! I just got back from one helluva welcoming party!" Mindy staggers a little as she walks into the room obviously rather tipsy. She practically trips over Koln on the way in. "Oh? and who is this?" She says as she looks down at Koln lying on the floor not even noticing how disheveled he looks.

Ruby was in shock seeing Koln looking like a mess when he abruptly arrived. It almost looked like he was under a spell by the look on his face. When he shouted, she covered her mouth in horror at the shock of it. Her eyes were wide in shock for a few moments, but then she felt deep sympathy and longing to make him feel better. Clover asked if he was ok and what he was up to, wanting to calm him down as well. Ruby quickly placed Icarus in his cage and came to Koln's side. Her hand on his shoulder, waiting for his reply. That was until Mindy burst through the door all in a drunken stupor. She fumbled and stumbled around like one of the drunken village idiots back home who were soon hosed down with the pigs the next morning in shame. Ruby fell back a bit as she stumbled towards Koln asking who he was. Ruby put a hand to her mouth not knowing what to say next at the moment. They were in a pickle now.
"nigh nights : )

Clover strained herself to smile and act civil, "Ah, Mindy, welcome back."
This was an all-too-common scene in their room. Mindy stumbling in at all hours of the night, tripping into furniture, falling into bed half-naked because she couldn't manage to undress and put on some pajamas. One night, she had even woken Clover up to say that she felt sick... before spewing all over her roommate's pristine white sheets.
As soon as Clover noticed Mindy ogling Koln, she jumped into action, "Oh, I'm sorry Mindy, where are my manners? You already know Ruby. But this is Koln, her fiance." She stressed the word, arching her eyebrow as though to convey, "Back of, bitch!" She hoped that that woud be enough to deter Mindy from doing anything stupid (or embarrassing). Normally, when she found a guy that she was interested in, she wouldn't stop until she got him.
Clover momentary flashed back on the sick memory of doing just that a little earlier in the evening, preying upon Mike so relentlessly. But then, she was able to shake it off and waited for Mindy to come to some sense.

Koln's eyes go wide as Clover mentions that he is Ruby's fiance. He coughs a bit, standing up. "Hello er yes, I am mady in love with Ruby, my name is er, Koln. I am a man of the cloth... but one of those that could marry apperently... So Mindy is it? When was your last confession and when you last received communion?" Koln asks, sitting and leaning in inquisitively.

Mindy lets out a rather loud and uncontrolled laugh "A priest getting married!? What next, the Pope having kids!?" She takes Koln's hat off his head and puts it on hers. "Well, my family would probably love to meet you Koln, as they are very religious church goers. I went with them to church earlier today, it's their "Sunday thing". As for confessing well, I've got stories that will curl anyone's nose hairs but I don't think they are fit for church." She giggles as she says that last part.

"I'm happy for you two, Ruby you found a very cute priest to date! Did you both come together? I'm surprised Angie didn't try to introduce us earlier, she can be so silly with formalities sometimes" She plops herself down in her desk chair laughing and hiccuping.

*twitch...twitch...angry twitching...* Koln angrilly grips his hat, placing it back on his head, unsure exactly why she'd snatch the dirty burnt thing from his head in the first place.

"Hmph... Try me, I have heard many sins, if they are grevious enough I do the best I can with the authority of God and His Church to expediate the judgement of those beyond hope, however I doubt your sins be THAT grievous. Do not try to fool yourself by claiming your sins are not 'right' for Church, all is present to the eyes of God. As you well know, trying to cover up your sins is like, well, Adam and Eve trying to cover their sin before God. Refer in your mind and heart to Genesis 3:8 'They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.' and despite hiding, God knew both their sin and their shame."

"I pray your beliefs and mind are right, let me ask you, do you believe God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth? Do you believe that Jesus God was God and man, begotten not made one in being with the Father? Do you reject Satan and all of his promises?" As Koln inquires into her catechism he covertly slides his hand into his coat, finding the corner of a shuriken and gripping it, just in case...

Ruby's face flushed heavily at the word "fiance." She instinctively bowed her head in embarrassment, but then picked it back up. Sure it was a wish fulfillment of her wildest dreams, but even she wasn't ready to hear that herself. As Mindy was discussing about her sinful nature, she could tell Koln was getting more and more angry with her. She knew it was the last straw when she even took his hat off. She notice him slip his hand in his pocket and her eyes widened in panic. She immediately rushed to his side.
"Hey hun, it's ok, I'm sure she will be forgiven in the eyes of our merciful lord, heheh," she said trying to give him a convincing couples hug. If she had a heartbeat it would be racing now, as she wasn't comfortable acting this way herself. "You will have to forgive him Mindy, we are stressed out about affording a first home for the two of us ," she said with a pouty face. "But you know what they say, love and God will provide."

Ruby threw her arms around Koln. Sure it was awkward. In her sober state, Clover was sure that Mindy would have thought that Ruby was just a very bad actress. But at the moment, even Clover herself found the scene a bit unbearable.
The feeling of loneliness crept back into Clover's psyche as it had earlier in the evening, and for a moment even she couldn't help staring at the two of them--Ruby and Koln--with a bitter feeling of regret. She hoped dearly that no one noticed (least of all Koln!) but started to worry that the look on her face might give her away.
Quickly, she found herself rearranging her facial features. She laughed nervously, practically throwing herself in between the Koln Ruby combo and Mindy, "Now now, let's get ahold of ourselves, shall we? Koln? What did I tell you about religiously interrogating my friends in public? And Mindy, I don't really think that we all need to listen to your list of... transgressions right now. Okay? Are we good?"

Koln nervously wraps his arms around Ruby as she hugs him, shocked to find how close he pulls her to him... His reaction scares himself, stunning him for a moment. Upon regaining his senses he replies "Er... Well, love, you would agree that the path to God is through faith, and I was merely ascertaining how faithful she was, nothing more, honest. True, love and God, that is what 'they' say..." Koln then quickly whispers to Ruby with a playful smile, "Damned heretic..."

"Aww, what a cute religious couple they are!" Mindy says as she nudges Clover. "Hey Angie, you have an early class tomorrow right? Could you wake me up before you go?"

Then, as if she forgets that there's anyone else in the room, Mindy starts to take her shirt off to change into pajamas.
