Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Ruby

Socrates seems to acknowledge your request. He says "I want food, even a little!" He then says. "Listen to Koln....sometimes..." and hops back into Koln's hands.

Koln gently takes the rat back, softly petting his fur before. "Hm.. someone's hungry it seems. Do not worry friend, food will be coming soon... Now Ruby, did you get all that Socrates said. It is important. Just to review, and I knew it all along, Stephenie Meyer is now targeting poor little Suzie as the next target in the conspiracy. We have to find this girl soon before she starts sporting fangs, hanging out in front of Hot Topic, and gushing over this "Edward" vampire fellow, whom is also at the top of my 'to slay' list."
"Socrates has also just confirmed my long-held suspicion that the microwave is also a double-dealing informant to a pack of lycanthropes who are now working with martians in making an army of undead to combat the vampires. After we're done at the police station we must make haste to Clover's room. I need to have a word or two with her microwave..." Koln says as he plots, folding his hands. Socrates, who is now on his shoulder, is looking back at Ruby as if to say "Er, well I said listen to Koln only SOME of the time..."

Ruby clasped her hands in glee after Socrates jumped back into Koln's hands. : 3 "This is truly and unbelievably wonderful" read tears slowly escaped her face in joy. "I always dreamt of conversing with nature and animals, I'm so glad I can actually be of help"
She smiled at Socrates. "Give him whatever he wants for food and more treats. He will be more complying when we get to the station and he definitely deserves it"
She then giggled at Koln's rantings about Stephanie Meyer and microwaves.
"Well, I can't say I like microwaves much either since they use electricity. I'm sure we will all sort things out"

Clover was weirded out, but she decided to let things go. 'Hm... I almost feel a little left out, not being able to talk to animals like Ruby and Koln can. Well, that's if you can call the rantings of a crazy person talking to animals.'
Then, she pulled out her cell phone, "Well then. Let's figure out where the police station is. We can stop and get Socrates something to nibble on on the way, ok?"
She pulled up mobile Mapquest and punched in 'Police'. Immediately, she was met with her answer, and she nodded, "Ok, I know where this is now. Let's go catch the uptown bus. It should take us close to there, then we can walk."

They start walking away from the mall, Koln figures it is still early, probably around 9pm. Although it is a cold, wintery night he feels strangely warm... He exhales, expecting to see his breath but doesn't and sighs. As they walk, Socrates has scurried his way back into Koln's pocket, discretely watching from inside as Clover leads the way.

"So Ruby, I understand you grew up Amish. Granted, very heretical but I'm hardly fit to judge anymore. So what are you doing here? Did you have any family? Friends..?"

Ruby walked along side the two of them while answering Koln's questions. "Well, I grew up in Wisconsin in the Amish village. I have many siblings, including... a twin sister.." She felt uncomfortable talking about her sister, Joy so she moved on. "I guess it all started when I had my Rumspringa at 16, where I could actually get to live outside the village for a little while. That's when I met Prestor at a club. He seemed friendly and just had conversation... I returned back to my village as my decision to be with my family. 4 years later, Jacob embraced me as I was admiring the full moon." She looked down and frowned. "He then left, leaving me to fend for myself for a while until I made my way here.. and.. well, here I am with you two.." She looked up slightly as if to gaze beneath her lashes. "I can never go back to my family and be disgraced, especially when I look like the devil's spawn."

Koln listens intently, nodding and making mental notes, especially about Jacob and the embrace during the full moon. "I understand... it sounds very painful... You can always go back to your family though. Besides, if it makes you feel any better you do not look like the Devil's spawn, quite the contrary actually. Unfortunately we are doomed to damnation and God's contempt. We're more than the Devil's spawns, we are the Devil's own agents, tasked with spreading death, decay, and pain wherever we go to further our own pointless existences... Look, I will only say this once, there is only one kind of Love that one could always rely on, and that is not the kind associated with God for the reasons I've already said. That kind of love should be the one receives from one's own family... if you really doubt your parents of showing that then I'm sorry... consider myself and Clover family then..,"

Clover walked along in silence, listening to Koln and Ruby speaking behind her. It wasn't that she wasn't interested in what they were talking about. As a matter of face, Clover like hearing Ruby talk about her history and her family. But it also unsettled Clover at the same time, and it was nice that Koln and Ruby's attention was not on her for a time.
Listening to Ruby speak about her home, Clover couldn't help think about hers as well. And she couldn't help wondering if she'd ever see it again. Ruby seemed like she had completely detached herself from her family at this point, and Clover wondered why. She was so brave to travel all the way to Colorado from Wisconsin on her own. But had she done it by choice? Didn't her family miss her? She had spoken of disgracing her family. Did she really never intend to see them ever again?
Or had they already made their peace? Was she dead to them?
'Will I become dead to my own family in time? Can I ever go back to them?'
Clover felt very out-of-sorts. Very lost.
Koln was speaking, bringing Clover back to reality, "...lly doubt your parents of showing that then I'm sorry... consider myself and Clover family then."
She smiled somewhat, but it was a sad smile. Ruby would make a great sister. Clover had always wanted one. And Koln... well, he was nuts but he was so kind.
If nothing else, even with all this sadness and hopelessness, she was happy to have met her two new friends. She felt truly blessed.

Ruby thought on this and smiled. "Thank you" she then was curious herself. "I'm curious. What made you want to become a priest? You have a very strong will and I admire that, which is why I am asking. Were your parents' of faith as well?"

Koln stops in his tracks and thinks for a moment before answering. "Well... I've never known my parents exactly.. I was born into the cloth, as odd as that may sound. More than likely my father was the same as me, a priest that has the Church's approval to certain nonChristian things, such as kill and fornicate with the purpose of breeding future slayers like myself... I don't want to get too into it... I was raised within an underground city under the Vatican with many other children, then we were placed in different parts of the world to continue our schooling and training. At a young age I learned how to fight and kill complete with training in firearms and martial arts. At the same time I was imbued with a strong Catholic education. So in short, ever since my ancester Coln le Clergue in the 13th Century, my bloodline has been a tool of the Church to infiltrate certain noteworthy "unwanted"s, namely heretics, witches, and demons... I've failed my ancestors though.." Koln sighs and looks down at the ground, knowing that it is very possible his dead ancestors are now burning in Hell for his failure... "So... how about you Clover? You were raised Catholic too, I assume."

The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round

I'm going to fast forward to the bus taking you to the police station. If you don't all want to go there then you can split up. You can role play any events you want on the bus and beforehand.

The bus pulls up to the curb and you can see the police station outside. It looks very stereotypical with round lamps outside that say "Police" on them. Clover remembers how the city prides itself in "authentic" looking buildings that quite frankly, are rather lame.

Tell me who is going in and who isn't if there is anyone who isn't.
