OOC: "What? It was just an idea."

MEANWHILE, ACROSS TOWN....

The man backs off saying "Alright alright, I'm leaving." He walks back to the bar muttering "Geez, what a bunch of freaks."

Clover shrugged off the comment as though she hadn't heard him. Eying the waitress they had seen upon entering, she gave the woman a polite get-your-butt-over-here-and-serve-me kind of look to indicate that she and Lacey were ready to order. While she waited for service, she turned back to Lacey and kept her voice low, her gestures conversational, "Hey, is it just me, or does it seem like this place is kind of... devoid of our type? I was kind of expecting more... I don't know... undead."

The Brewery 2:35am

Koln thanks God under his breath that the shotgun blast wasn't immediately followed with a pained scream and fleshy "Thud." He uses his Heightened Senses to make sense of the chaos around him, and manipulate his ability to see auras to get a sense of where everyone is.

[sblock] The lights all flicker and converge as the smoke lifts and fills the ceiling. It isn't long before Father Koln only sees colors, and the individual forms of those around him completely fade away. The fleshy vessels all dissipate, leaving only everyone's life-lights apparent.

The touch, sight, taste... oh God the Taste... sound, and smell all overlap, like water-colours leaking through the paper of reality itself, and getting all over the dirty dirty table underneath. Got a little bit of red on my sleeve. What Koln now Sees is a caucaphony of sensory overload, that coil and constrict around his limbs, envelop his face, and violently beat him nearly unconscious until he finds himself in a gray abyss.

Perhaps "abyss" is the wrong word for it. When you think of an "abyss" you think of a void and ironically, when the abyss thinks about you, it Sees the exact same thing. But in this case, the void that Koln finds himself in has "matter"... there's ground, sky, trees, and even snow. However it is all behind a thin veil of gray, completely robbed of all texture, color, and other sensory adjectives. Try closing your eyes and rubbing... there ya go. It's like that... do it Harder next time.

Not taking the time to think it odd that his footprints lack the satisfyingly audible "Crunch" that they should in such thick snow, the priest hurries to the horizon.

"I am looking for Her....I WILL have her back."

"Funny, it is He that has been seeking you. Or have you forgotten?"

Koln ignores the warning, and reaches out for her arm... [/sblock]

Snatching Meredith's wrist tightly, Koln struggles to look for the nearest way out of the room.

Koln
[sblock]
You see a mess of people in the middle of the room struggling to get out, many of them are trying to break down the front door, ripping off boards and breaking chains.

There are clearly two figures running up the stairs and escaping through the roof, no one seems to be following them, probably in fear of being taken out by the shotgun.

Aside from the stairs, there is a small ladder on the back of one of the giant tanks. You might be able to jump from the top of the tank to the second level.

I was kind of expecting more... I don't know... undead."

Lacey crosses her arms again and says "Undead...yes...they must pull strings here. These are their puppets and we are in the theater."

Lacey starts giggling "Hey Clover, can I ask you something? Have you ever...had a boyfriend? I know we're practically the only women in the room but your words seem so bent out of shape for someone with such straight lips."

The waitress takes notice of Clover and starts to head over to the table.

"Follow me mon ami, I will get you through this, as Our Lord in the valley of the shadow of Death..."

He tugs her over in the direction of the ladder. There, he attempts to jump from the top of the large tank up to the second level.

"Follow my lead, and God be with us!"

Poor Father Koln jumps up almost vertically and falls in the gap between the tank and the ledge. Thankfully for him it's not high enough for him to take damage, but it looked pretty stupid.

Clover continued to watch the waitress approach their table, arms crossed and leaning on the table, as she answered Lacey, "Boyfriend? No. But plenty of ******* men in this world have wanted to get their hands on a beautiful, innocent millionaire's daughter. I'd rather just keep my distance from the rabble. So, you're saying what, exactly? That these people are ghouls? Does that mean our undead kin aren't far behind?"

Tries again

Meredith does a face palm at Koln's first attempt, expecting to see something a little more...fluid.

Meredith tries jumping up herself.
