Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Strider_Koln]

Koln is still for a moment, stunned. He insulted Ruby, and well, yes she is a damned heretic, she is still his friend... She has been so kind to him and he has mostly responded with being cold and confrontational. He gets up and moves over to Ruby, kneeling down beside her. "I'm sorry Ruby, yes, you are a heretic... but don't worry, nearly everyone is to me..."
He sighs and takes her hand into his, "Look, I am not going to say that your beliefs are right, but at the same time... well I care about you, and do not want to see you hurt. How I feel... well you, and Clover, are my best friends, and the reasons for my continued existence."
He cannot explain it, although he does not show it, the mere fact that he hasn't tried to slay her at all yet hints at his feelings for her. She's unrepentent in her beliefs, a vampire and, for all he knows, probably involved in why he was turned. She is even now more animal than human, but her very presence seems to soften him. He could not imagine ever raising a weapon to her, the mere thought of it actually horrifies him...

Ruby's emotions calmed down after hearing both Clover and Koln. Clover was very sweet, trying to make her feel better despite the whole loud disruption made. She looked at Koln after he tried to console her. There is still things about him that make him seem like a piece of marble, possibly from his past. But she knew he always had the best intentions. She just wish that she could do something to tell him its alright to trust her.
"Your..right.. we will never see eye to eye in what is right spiritual it seems. I just want you to see me for the real me and trust that I want to be there for you too, not just because its the right thing to do.."
She then slowly nodded her head. "I accept your apology, and I am also sorry about my outburst, it was much uncalled for.." she said as she flushed.
She slowly stood up, putting a friendly hand on clover's shoulder. "Now, shall we cover the windows so we can be out of the sunlight tomorrow? I can sleep anywhere, I'm used to hard surfaces," she said with a slowly built smile.

Clover sighed and rolled her eyes. She wasn't the least bit tired, but it seemed like everyone else was insisting on going to bed. 'Well, if you can't beat them, join them.'
She nodded, shrugging, "Yeah, ok. Fine. Mindy never opens the shades when she gets up, anyway."
Slowly, she shut the blinds and started rooting around for her pajamas. 'Hm... where's Ruby going to sleep? It's not really fair of her to have to sleep on the floor. She might not like that, anyway. Koln's going to be on the floor. Hm... I hope Mindy doesn't step on him in the morning. Maybe I should tell him to sleep under my bed. He probably wouldn't mind. It seems like he likes small spaces. But where should Ruby sleep...?'
"Hey Ruby? If you don't mind sharing, I think I could give you a portion of bed over here."
^.^
Then, as if to poke fun at Koln, she teased him, "Ooooh, Koln. Two women sharing the same pillow in the same bed! You had better hope us heretics don't start spooning over here!"

 

[Strider_Koln]

He sighs, he knows better than that. He is certain inside that he can trust Ruby...

Koln's not even that tired but again, he needs to lose consciousness. Reality is just too harsh right now... perhaps he will be stuck in a beautiful dream and never wake. The thought makes him smile...which quickly fades as soon as Clover 'spooning.'

"What's a spooning...?" Koln asks, tilting his head as he sits on the floor. He strokes his chin, unsure... "Is it some form of diabolical cunningart by which you use a spoon to seek lost possessions? I have read of such a thing... Or is it the hip new slang that college kids are using to refer to nurturing their demonic familiars? I'm onto you two!" Koln says, pointing at both of his eyes and pointing right back at them. "Me and Socrates will be watching you two like hawks from now on! Spooning?! Feh, over my dead body! There will be none of this spooning in this room, not on my watch!"

You all go to sleep. Ruby and Clover end up pressing up against each other with the small space that Clover's bed offers. You both realize that although you are both only room temperature you get a warm feeling on the inside. Clover feels herself being drawn to Ruby in a close-friendship sort of way. Koln is happily tucked under the bed and can only hear the girls moving around above him. Socrates is poking around the room looking for loose rabbit food it seems.

Ruby
[sblock]
You have peaceful dreams mostly. One that stands out in your head is of Jacob Prestor stroking a wolf and talking to you in what seems like an open field. His lips move but you can hear now words. The wolf is a silvery color and its fur seems to shine in the moonlight.

Clover
[sblock]
You wake up in your room to a scratching sound. You look under your bed and see that Icarus has escaped yet again! The door is cracked open so you walk out into the hallway. You can see Icarus hopping through the hallway. The hallway seems to get longer as you chase him making it hard to keep up but you manage to follow him into the bathroom. Icarus scurries under the shower door and you open it just in time to see him go into the hole in the wall. You stick your hand in to grab him and you feel his little furry bottom. You pull the critter out and find that you are not holding Icarus but Pumpkin the rat. Pumpkin has blood on her mouth and almost seems to smile at you. You realize that this is simply a dream and your mind wanders to other happier thoughts.

Koln
[sblock]
You have trouble going to sleep what with the lesbian action going on above you but eventually you slip into unconsciousness. You have the usual odd dreams that are made up partly from your past and partly from your insanity although one dream stands out amongst the rest. You are in the middle of Clover's dorm, your hands are bloodied and you are on your knees. On the ground is a crumpled heap that looks like it could be a person. You turn the heap over and see that it is in fact a body who has a stake rammed through the chest. The face is covered in a black vale. You remove the vale and are shocked at what you see, you are holding the even more lifeless body of Ruby. The dorm room door opens and the pig-tailed girl comes into the room. She looks down at the body and then up at you and a tear rolls down her cheek. "You did it, you made your choice..." she says.

University Of Denver

You all go to sleep. Ruby and Clover end up pressing up against each other with the small space that Clover's bed offers. You both realize that although you are both only room temperature you get a warm feeling on the inside. Clover feels herself being drawn to Ruby in a close-friendship sort of way. Koln is happily tucked under the bed and can only hear the girls moving around above him. Socrates is poking around the room looking for loose rabbit food it seems.

You all wake up at the next day's sunset as usual. Mindy is gone and luckily left the blinds closed when she left probably in her haste to catch up on her classes after realizing that she had missed her early class.

Clover finds herself in Ruby's arms. Ruby must have shifted over to Clover's side of the bed during her slumber. Koln is still under the bed and has still not figured out what "spooning" is.

You all use 1 blood point to rise.

Ruby wakes up in a more peaceful mood than usual. She awoke to find herself hugging Clover. She flushed quickly and gently pulled herself away when clover opened her eyes. "Sorry, I guess I move in my sleep more than I thought, heheh" she said sheepishly.
She was surprised she didn't have a nightmare like that other night. The only thing the two dreams had in common was their location in the wilderness once again. It was almost like she belonged there. 'Why would Prestor want to speak to me about in my dream? And that wolf was one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen.'
She had come to the conclusion that more pieces of the overall puzzle are still missing.

She spoke to them softly upon her revelation. "Hey everyone, I think I need to clear my head for a while, something doesn't seem right to me. I need to get some more questions answered about things and I will be back soon.. Don't worry about me, I remember my way around," she said with a serious expression.

With that, she exited the door and headed to the shuttle station to take her in town. From there she will find Prestor's house to investigate. (heh at least I hope thats where it is at the moment)

With embarrassment, Clover spoke quietly to herself as Ruby rushed out of the room, "Mmm, I didn't mind that much." There had been something so warm and comfortable about waking up in Ruby's arms.
Clover was seriously beginning to worry about herself.
Standing and grabbing her clothes, she spoke to Koln, "Hey, sleepy head. How go the dreams?" She smiled kindly, hoping the dreams hadn't been too hard on him.
Then, she snapped open her computer, hoping to have recieved an email from her RHD during the day about switching rooms. Maybe she could even make the switch after she got back from biology later?

 

[Strider_Koln]

After Koln's dream he has suffered a terrible day, his mind slipping in and out of unconciousness. As of right now he is still uncertain if he's dreaming. He is huddled in a ball, clutching his knees to his chest, praying that this is real, that Clover and Ruby are fine. He hopes that this is reality... until he feels his cell vibrate. He takes it out of his pocket and flips it open, reading with disbelief and swallowing heavily. They're coming...

He rolls out from under the bed with a look of paranoid alarm on his face, "Girls, make yourselves scarce. They will be here in a matter of weeks for me. If they find you... just go, leave, and lay low, I will stay here and wait for them."
This is indeed serious, although Koln can tell that the girls are wary of his warning, his paranoid delusions have not always been based on truth.

"Girls, make yourselves scarce. They will be here in a matter of weeks for me. If they find you... just go, leave, and lay low, I will stay here and wait for them."

Clover looked up from her computer, staring at Koln and muttering, "Good evening to you, too." Then, she saw the look of concern on his face. Clover tilted her head to one side, "Koln? Ruby's not here. Who's coming? What's going on?"
Her sight momentarily swept back to her computer screen where her Email had popped up. She immediately picked up on an email with the subject, "Room Change Confirmation." That cheered her up a little. But the look on Koln's face was haunting. Was someone coming after him?
