Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

With a content sigh, Clover sat down at her new desk and snapped open her laptop. Already, she felt more at home in her new space. Ruby and Koln had been kind enough to help her pack and unpack very quickly, and it already looked like she had occupied the space for some amount of time.
By this time, it was getting late at night. But Clover still felt adequately awake. With a smile, she turned to Ruby, "Alright, you! Get over here. We're getting you some new clothes once and for all. No interruptions! Now, what would you like to wear? Should we look at skirts? Blouses? Dresses? How about some casual clothes? Have you ever worn pants before? We could find you some jeans. They would look nice on your figure. My gosh, Ruby! Do you realize how many girls would kill to be able to fit into the clothes you probably can?"
Clover had meant that last part as a compliment. But after she said it, she hoped that it hadn't come out sounding too strange.
She grinned, looking over at the only male occupant of the room. She teased him playfully, careful not to push him too far this evening, "Hey Koln? What would you like to see Ruby wear? Oh no! You didn't just envision Ruby dressed provocatively, did you!? Koln! For shame." She giggled and tried to mix up the rather tense dynamics in the room by getting everyone talking casually about something as trivial as clothing.

Ruby contemplated for a moment. So many choices, alot of them foreign to her since she has been practically wearing the same types of clothes for nearly 20 years of her life. Dress were down to the ankles, plain undergarments, not too bright colors, and bonnets. No zippers and usually fastened with safety pins or clips. She sighed a little bit in her confusion. "I'm sorry, its kind of hard for me to think of something, I have never really though of myself that way before, actually dressing for appearance." She wondered if she should start out slow first. "Um, how about dresses or skirts first, um as long as they aren't too high, heheh." she said as she flushed a bit.

Koln is taken aback and is noticibly embaressed. "Uh...How did you know?!! You are powerful!!! Not only can you command peoples' will, you can also read minds as well?! This is a good ability, but use it wisely, and stay out of my head, for right now it is an overgrown wild forest, not the place for someone innocent such as yourself."

Of course, Clover cannot read minds, when she replied negatively in that regard Koln nervously scratches the back of his head and weakly replies, "Oh... oui well, no impure thoughts here anyway, it was a joke, yes."

Clover just stared at him, beginning to tsk without meaning to, "T... M... I... Koln. TMI." She shook her head, embarrassed.

Of course, Clover cannot read minds, when she replied negatively in that regard Koln nervously scratches the back of his head and weakly replies, "Oh... oui well, no impure thoughts here anyway, it was a joke, yes."

Again, she shook her head, 'God. Pure-minded priest my ass!'
Then, she began to help Ruby search on the Internet for some new clothes...

 

[ladyphoenix]

Ruby perused through a variety of options, until she had a few in mind.
Here are a few options pictures.
1. A denim dress:
Caché: Contour Denim Belted Dress

2. A green dress

3. bare shoulder green dress

4. Another dress
Victoria's Secret - Mini caftan dress

5. A white dress

She scratched her head and looked at them both for advice. "What do you think"

I'm gonna move things along here. You can roleplay out more of this scene if you like.

Clover's room is small but with only a single bed and some furniture there is plenty of room for people to sleep on the floor. Clover and Ruby cuddle up as usual and Koln finds a nice place on the floor fit for a priest. The day passes without incident and when night comes Clover awakens and goes to class.

Prof. Jones is fun to talk to outside of class but during class he is as interesting as a log and Clover finds it hard to even stay awake half the time. At the end of the class Prof. Jones slips Clover a note as she walks by and nods at her. When she gets out into the hallway she opens the note and it reads "Meet me in my office. I found something that might be of interest to you. I'll be there until 9pm" Seeing as how it is now 7:30 Clover figures it would be better to meet sooner rather than later and wonders if the others would like to hear what he has to say.

Everyone take 1 blood point to wake up (if you even choose to).

Clover rolled her eyes and crumpled up the note, tossing it into a nearby trashcan. She really hated seeing Professor Jones after class. She had been bored enough as it was, since he was as sharp and witty as a rusty nail. And now he wanted to see her in his office?
'Well, certainly not alone, if I have anything to say about it.'
She flipped open her phone and found Koln's contact info (which she had managed to swipe before falling asleep earlier). She dialed and hoped to God that Koln and Ruby weren't making a mess of her room!
But to her relief, Koln picked up and Clover smiled, "Good evening, Koln! I have a question. Professor Jones wants to see me in his office. I was wondering if you and Ruby might care to join me? Three's company, right?"
'I also don't want to be alone with him! Knowing him, he'd end up showing me his artifact collection or something...'

Ruby slept in content knowing her decision of the green peasant dress was on its way. One step closer to melding with this society. She awoke peacefully and listened as Clover told her and Koln about her meeting with the professor. "Sure I'll accompany you," she said with a cheerful smile. She thought about the raven and decided it was best to wait a bit longer to see him again, perhaps another night. Vitae 9

Koln leaves the room with Ruby after tossing on his coat and popping on his hat. "Odd night... not a single dream, maybe it's the different room. Anyway, Ruby, it has been some time since you last fed, how are you feeling?" Koln asks, eyeing her quite worriedly.

Just for the record:

Ruby spends 1 blood point (9 left)
Koln spends 1 blood point (5 left)

You all walk in to Prof. Jones' office. He is arranging various small objects around on his shelf, they look like fancy paperweights but he has always insisted that they were original pieces of history. He turns and looks over at all of you as you enter the room. "Long time no see" He says jokingly as you walk in. You close the door behind you and he motions for you all to sit down in front of his desk.

"I'm glad you all came, I've discovered something that might help solve the mystery behind our kidnapping the other night." He leans in and talks as if someone might be listening "As you know, Detective Brandt whom you've met before is a good friend of mine. It is from him that I heard that a blonde man in a jaguar was seen leaving the scene of the fire. Apparently this man was a frequent visitor at Jacob Prestor's house according to neighbors." Prof. Jones sits back in his chair and seems to look off into space. "I didn't want to believe it, but I have a suspicion that my former college Roger Liverman might have a hand in this. Especially with the rumors floating around about his questionable experiments. I have a key here for a lockbox in the Bank of Denver that he gave me close to the time when he was forced to leave the University. I never looked to see what was inside because I never wanted to believe the rumors. But now I feel that it is important to find out what exactly he left behind, maybe you'll find something connected to that book I gave you earlier." Prof. Jones slides a bronze key accross his desk towards the group.

He sighs "In other news, I haven't been able to find anything pertaining to that missing girl. Have you had any luck?"
