Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[izillama]

Rifling through her wardrobe, Clover finally came across her lovely Coach duffel bag. Well, if she was going to be a vampire in exile, it certainly would not do to be without a modicum of class! She nodded, as though that settled it and moved over to her bed, cooing at Icarus in his cage at her feet. He was holding up quite well, considering his owner was a vampire.

She began to pack her carefully folded clothing into the bag. There were still dozens of designer outfits hanging neatly in her wardrobe, but for some reason, she had grabbed only her preppy school clothes: More skirts and shirts--much like what she usually wore--her old Catholic school blazer and a few sweaters which had been part of the fall and winter attire, more Mary Janes. She shook her head, and even she found it strange that she couldn't seem to shake the garb of her living days. She was a vampire now! She would be forever young. And even though she knew she wasn't beautiful, she was well aware that she had striking, classic looks. She could completely indulge in all the latest fashions for the rest of her unlife. How popular she would be!

She raised an eyebrow as she realized just how many of her green and white tartan skirts she was trying to pack. Why couldn't she seem to move past these?

"GLORY GLORY HALLELUJIA, GLORY GLORY HALLELUJIA, I'M WALKIN ON SUNSHINE WHOOAA, I'M WALKING ON SUNSHINE WHOOAHH AND DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD?!"

Clover and Mindy's heads snapped up as they heard Koln yelling in the corridor, and Clover felt more blood drain from her already quite bloodless face. She set her jaw, a muscle working irritably at the corners as her eyes narrowed in fury, "That... imbecile!"

And with that, she made a mad dash for the door to put an end to this nonsense before Public Safety showed up!

After finishing his little tirade, Koln's face lights up, as he begins to sing to himself "GLORY GLORY HALLELUJIA, GLORY GLORY HALLELUJIA, I'M WALKIN ON SUNSHINE WHOOAA, I'M WALKING ON SUNSHINE WHOOAHH AND DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD?!"

It should be noted here that Clover could definitely hear this from her room.

Koln continues his little song, stumbling into the girls' showers.

"AH! Lacey! Ruby! Oh!... Ruby... er, I NOW HAVE X-RAY VISION it seems!"

Clover and Mindy's heads snapped up as they heard Koln yelling in the corridor, and Clover felt more blood drain from her already quite bloodless face. She set her jaw, a muscle working irritably at the corners as her eyes narrowed in fury, "That... imbecile!"

And with that, she made a mad dash for the door to put an end to this nonsense before Public Safety showed up!

Koln gains 3 blood points from feeding on the kid bringing him to full.

Koln walks into the girls bathroom and he hears two showers running. Koln can hear Ruby and Lacey, mostly Lacey. She is apparently having a moment and wailing "The end comes near! Fire, fire everywhere! Don't take me, don't take meeee!!"

Koln rips at the curtain on the shower where Lacey's voice was coming from, ripping it right off the rod. Lacey is huddled in the back corner of the shower, her back facing Koln, Ruby is also in that shower trying to figure out what happened to Lacey and trying to get her to snap out of it. Both girls are very surprised when the curtain gets torn away and both are very naked.

Koln
[sblock]You see that Lacey actually has 2 tattoos, the "tramp stamp" of the bat that she typically displays and another of a celtic cross between her shoulder blades. The bat design is dripping blood and the cross appears to be on fire, burning into Lacey's back like a brand.

Oh, and you find out that Ruby is indeed a natural redhead...[/sblock]

Ruby looks at Koln and a fire blazes in her catlike eyes. "KOLN!? HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU BUST IN HERE ON US WHEN WE ARE INDECENT!!!"

She walks up to Koln pulling her fist back and socks him right on the side of the head with a nasty right hook. Koln sees stars and falls into unconsciousness.

Clover and Mindy arrive on scene soon after Koln hits the floor. Ruby has already wrapped a towel around herself and is helping Lacey to get out of the shower and do the same.

OOC: I posted up Lacey's tattoos just so you guys can see what they look like. They come from an image I was drawing awhile back which is why they look a little distorted. They are here on the OOC.

Clover skidded to halt right inside the bathroom, Mindy not far behind her. The scene in front of her made her blink for a moment, and for an uncomfortable span of time (much longer than she would have imagined herself capable of), she found her eyes glued to the two nearly naked women, spending much too much time perusing each of them from ankle to neck and back again. In her shock, of course. Yes, it was definitely the shock of finding Koln unconscious on the floor! She tried to stare at Koln to convince herself, but was immediately drawn back to Lacey's very ample...

Clover mentally slapped herself back to reality. The "what" question was just on the tip of her tongue and was about to pass her lips when she realized that, in this situation, it probably wouldn't even offer a fair assessment of what had just transpired. Nope. Definitely no point in wasting words on that stupid question.

Aggravated, she crossed her arms and began doing what she did best: Giving orders. She looked rather pointedly at Ruby and Lacey in front of her, "Ruby, would you kindly escort Lacey back to my room?" Then, she glanced over her shoulder at Mindy (now recently strengthened with her own blood), "Mindy? Would you mind... eww...!"

With great disgust, she found herself stepping closer to Koln. Gingerly, she plucked his hat from his head (Socrates tumbling out comically to the tiled floor) and sniffed it. She recoiled from the stench of unwashed vampire and... was that weed? She shuddered at the thought of Koln high. Could vampires even get high!?

She amended herself and reached down to scoop up the white rat, plopping him inside Koln's hat and carrying both to the door, "On second thought, Mindy. I think this guy needs to cool down. Would you do the honors?" She nodded curtly in the direction of the shower, and stepped out of the room. She assumed that Ruby and Lacey wouldn't be too far behind.

Soon after Clover reacts so does Mindy. "Wow, Lacey was it? Yours really ARE real, an' they're even bigger than mine!" Mindy exclaims as she points to Lacey's chest, cleavage spilling over the small bath towel. Lacey says looking at Mindy and her assets "Ah, finally a formidable foe!"

As Clover, Lacey, and Ruby are about to leave Mindy looks at Koln on the floor and then to Clover clearly confused. "Ya want me to clean up yer crazy friend?....in the girls bathroom?" Clover and the others leave Mindy terribly confused but she picks Koln up non-the-less with a strength she could not possibly have possessed normally and plops him in the shower. She turns on the water only a little and splashes it on Koln's head and face.

On the way back to the room Ruby says to Clover "I'm sorry, I don't know what got into Koln. Lacey had a bit of an episode in the shower. I ended up going in there to see what was wrong." She looks over at Lacey who nods and says as if it was an acceptable term of agreement "Two melons and a pair of apples!" Ruby stares at the floor and sighs dejectedly.

When they get back to the room the girls are still rather soaking wet. Clover notices that Lacey looks quite a bit older and more mature with her hair down and not in her typical pigtails. Ruby asks "Can we borrow that heater device thing you have for our hair?"

Meanwhile in the bathroom Koln starts to come to. Although confused he has a strange sense of relaxation with little care as to what is happening around him and almost no memory of what transpired. He finds himself sitting in the shower with Mindy splashing water on him and rubbing his face with a damp towel. Mindy sees him open his eyes and says "Rise and shine sleepy head. What in the blazes were you doin' in the girls bathroom anyway? An' why do you smell like happy grass?"

Koln lets out a long yawn, his arms stretched up over his head, "...mais je ne veux pas aller à l'école" (But I don't wanna go to school..)

His lowers his arms as he feels about on his head confusedly, he keeps patting around, putting his fingers in his hair before getting up and looking in the mirror.

Realizing what's missing, he turns to Mindy with an enraged twisted scrowl, "YOU WILL TELL ME WHERE HAT AND SOCRATES ARE RIGHT NOW, OR I WILL SMELL OF ANGRY GRASS!!"

Mindy pits her hands on Koln's shoulders. "Easy there tough guy. Socrates is that white rat you always have with ya right? Well no worries, Angie just brought him to her room in your hat so he wouldn't get wet in the shower. C'mon, let's get back to the room with everyone else."

Mindy turns the shower off and opens the door to the girls bathroom leading him out into the hall.

Returning to her room, Clover sat down at her desk facing the room, sitting at ease with all the air of a queen overseeing her minions. She wasn't certain why, but with the way the night had been going, it was becoming a lot easier to take charge and issue orders!

She nudged her head towards the wardrobe in response to Ruby, "My hair dryer is in there. Please feel free."

Then, she looked back at Lacey with all the intense appraisal of a person deciding if someone should be found guilty, "Lacey. What happened back there? And before, in the alley? I know you're a Malkavian, but why do you keep... what did Ruby call it?... having episodes? Is there something wrong with you that we should be aware of?" She settled back for Lacey's response, not certain if she was hoping for a reason to keep the woman around, or tell her to leave their group alone and go on her merry--crazy--way.

She settled back for Lacey's response, not certain if she was hoping for a reason to keep the woman around, or tell her to leave their group alone and go on her merry--crazy--way.

Ruby takes the hairdryer out, plugs it into the wall and starts to dry herself off.

Lacey starts to rifle through her backpack says to Clover "Crazy? I'm not crazy! Back in the alley there....that...that meanie! It's like that friend that calls you on the phone and you don't want to talk to them. I didn't want to talk." Lacey pulls an outfit out of the backpack, it looks like something made of thick black leather. "The shower was crowded and hot....the shower was...a shower...was a shower...." She trails off. She lets the towel drop off of her and onto the floor, her back facing Clover. She definitely has one of those bodies that you usually only see in magazines, all pale skin and curves. She grabs what Clover can only assume are her undergarments and starts to put them on. She looks over her shoulder at Clover "You know it, I know it. Even that little rat knows it! We should leave."

 

[izillama]

Clover crossed her arms, setting her mouth disapprovingly, "I didn't call you crazy. And you didn't answer my question at all." She leaned forward, irritated, "Now, let's try this again. What is wrong with you, and whyshould we trust you? With our luck, we'll get to California and you'll suddenly remember you have a warrant out for your arrest over there or something. Bad luck seems to follow you to us. And do I really want to have to deal with both you and Koln? I don't think so. If I had to choose one Malkavian to go right this instant, I promise you I really wouldn't be hard pressed to make my decision." Her eyes narrowed suspiciously at Lacey.

 

[Strider_Koln]

"... Allons-y!!"

Koln shouts, kicking the unlocked door back open.

"AND YOU!" Pointing at Lacey. "I DID NOT HEAR YOU SAY GRACE!"
