They spend 1 bloodpoint to awaken.Clover goes upstairs to check on Mindy because she never got to see her after the events of the previous night. Clover knocks on her door and there is no answer. A girl who lives near Mindy says that she hasn't been back at her dorm room all day. Someone said they saw her at the mall earlier.Clover goes back to her room and convinces the group to go with her to the mall. They search the mall and don't find Mindy. Instead they find a group of kids wearing all black hanging out in front of the new Hot Topic. At first the kids act hostile towards Clover, Koln, and Ruby accusing them of being "vampire posers". When they are convinced otherwise they explain to the group that they are goth kids who have been tormented lately by the arrival of some annoying Twilight fans. They could care less about how kids are in love with everything Twilight, but the fact that people are lumping goth kids in with these freaks is really starting to piss them off. They tell the group that these kids tend to hang out at the local night clubs. Maybe they can find their friend there.When the group goes to the 24th Diocese they see a group of kids hanging out with Twilight shirts on. The group decides to approach them and ask them if they have seen Mindy. They admit that a new girl has joined their ranks and will be meeting with their idol, a "true vampire" named Valance (I think that was his name). Mindy shows up moments later and the Twilight kids struggle with Clover to prevent Clover from taking her away from them. They manage to escape leaving no sign of how they got away so quickly. The group decides to go back to the mall to tell the goth kids what they found.The goth kids confirm that the Twilight kids are always talking about some "pretty vampire" they come in contact with. The goth kids decide to move the conversation to a local diner that they hang out in often. They explain to the group that this "vampire guy" approaches young girls who wear Twilight attire in many locations throughout the city. They figure that a good way to catch this vampire in action is to have Clover and Ruby pose as young innocent Twilight girls in one of the more popular locations that people have been approached in, a meadow near a playground not too far from the diner. The meadow is a perfect place to stage a sparkly vampire encounter because it is of course the location of that all-too-famous kissing scene in the novel. So Clover and Ruby dress up in Twilight clothes and sit in the meadow idly talking to one another. Valance comes out of the shadows and approaches them. He acts friendly but suave commenting on how serene the meadow is and asking if they like to play baseball. When he is convinced that they have fallen for his antics he hands them a card with an address on it. He tells them to go there later that night to attend a meeting that the Twilight kids are having. Clover and Ruby report this back to Koln and the goth kids and they decide to drop in on this meeting.Clover and Ruby go to the address with Koln and the goth kids following behind. The address happens to belong to a large mansion with a theater attached.  Clover and Ruby sit with the Twilight kids in the theater as Koln and the goth kids hide in the bushes outside. The Twilight kids explain to Clover and Ruby that this is an initiation ceremony that all of them have gone through. Tonight is going to be Mindy's initiation into the group. Valance appears on stage with Mindy and a bowl of some kind of red concoction. Valance is about to have Mindy drink when Clover and Ruby jump into action, shortly followed by Koln and the goth kids breaking through the windows. In the confusion Valance escapes with Mindy. The group manages to capture one of the Twilight kids though. Her name is Jen and it turns out that she is a ghoul of Valance, and a rather cherished one at that. They pressure Jen into telling them that Valance has a lair under the mall. They let Jen go and return to the diner to hatch a plan.The Goth kids tell the group that they are experts when it comes to the secret underlairs of Denver. They explain how to access the tunnels under the mall through an entrance right outside. The group decides to go right away and they find the entrance without too much trouble. The Goth kids insist on going down into the tunnels with the group despite disagreement on Koln's part. They all go down as one large group and it isn't long before they find Valance's lair. The lair looks like a high school gym and is set up as if it is prom night. It appears that Valance has prepared for an invasion after Jen returned to him. He is near the entrance with Mindy being held in the back towards the stage. Valance tries to talk the group down but a fight breaks out and Valance calls upon his ghouls for help. Despite Heather and Jens help along with a dashing entrance by Keith swinging down from a chandelier with a cape on; Valance can see that the fight will not go his way and he quickly kicks over a can of gasoline and ignites the room before leaving out a back entrance behind the stage.All hell breaks loose and Keith is trampled by a bunch of panicking teenage girls as they race to get out of the quickly growing inferno. The group manages to save Mindy along with Valance's ghouls Heather and Jen. The lair happens to be beneath Hot Topic so the store is mostly destroyed by the fire. The event ends with the group saying their goodbyes to the Goth kids. The Goth kids thank them for their help and one of them hands Clover a pair of brass knuckles.For completing the event the group got the Achievement: The Undergroundables (worth 2xp). They also got 8xp for good roleplaying!Clover, Ruby, and Koln get 3 bloodpoints for feeding off of the spoils of war.The night ends with Clover escorting Mindy back to her room and then joining the rest of the group for a good day's rest.</blockquote>
