Vampire: The Masquerade - Who Wants To Live Forever?

"Ah, that one... she was like you. Very, how you say.. "feral." Despite her heretical beliefs about our Lord, she was very devout, and strong. She was at my right side at all times... until she left it. Every sunrise, when I lay down, I hear her calling for me... I know that the Devil has her. She cannot go to Heaven, the Devil has her all the way down... And I will find her again, as Father wills it."

Meredith could tell Koln was talking about a fallen lover, something Meredith could understand all to well. "Ohh I'm so sorry for your loss, Koln. Do you think because we are all vial creatures now that we automatically go to Hell when we die? I don't think that, I think if she was a good person... well, as good as we can be in this new existence...that she would be in a place of peace..and not one of torture. But I can understand why you might feel that way, it's noble of you to try and save her soul." Meredith looks at Koln with some pain in her eyes, thinking back to the one she loved but knowing that her love was in a much better place.

"And again, I have to ask to closed ears, 'How am I ze 'crazy one?' What you ask is like Socrates asking me how do I know ze grass is green. It is God's Will. Refer to your Bible to Leviticus 17:10. Those who drink blood are cut off from God's people. This is our curse, as we are cast away from humanity like Cain. But I apologize, for we are not "going" to Hell, we are not "going" anywhere. We have shut ourselves completely from God's light completely, as a walking insult and perversion to His Creation. Hell, is all around us, now and will be then. When our ashes fall down it will be the Devil that waits with a dustbin."

Father Koln reads the pain in her eyes, but continues undeterred "I am not 'noble' at all. Such concepts as benevolence, charity, love, and nobility are completely lost to Damned Souls like us. However, I refuse to admit defeat, and will continue to fight Sin wherever I see it, so long as I have Spirit in my non-beating heart, a verse in my voice, and a single bullet in my gun."

"So why do your eyes mimic mine so closely?" Koln asks, wanting to know more about this person she lost.

OOC: So poor Clover has something to do...

Lacey stares blankly out at Clover's apartment building for awhile before turning to Clover and saying "Oh Kitten, are you still here? Say, how are you with a gun? When the pen fails does the sword come out?"

Lacey stares blankly out at Clover's apartment building for awhile before turning to Clover and saying "Oh Kitten, are you still here? Say, how are you with a gun? When the pen fails does the sword come out?"

Clover quirked an eyebrow, then gave a casual shrug, "Well, when I'm not busy throwing my weapons into storm drains, I suppose I'm a decent enough shot. I'm no expert. But I'm also not one for wielding pens. Too slow. Too tedious. No, I lash with my tongue."

As though that settled it, Clover moved quickly through the apartment to the little nook she called her room and began rooting through piles of clothes for something more comfortable to wear. Well... as comfortable an outfit as an unfeeling vampire would think to wear, in any case.

OOC: So did Clover just ditch Lacey in the car? If so, then Lacey will leave more confused than usual.

OOC: Sorry, I read your post wrong. I thought Lacey was just kind of staring blankly around the APARTMENT (like she's standing inside)

Meredith eyes widen slightly, surprised she'd been showing enough emotion about Deborah for Koln to notice, and then feels a wave of sadness she fights to keep back. Taking a deep breath, "Someone I loved...most dearly.." Her voice changes to one of anger, "was taken from me by an uncaring idiot of a vampire who doesn't know how to sire properly." She pauses, closes her eyes and settles herself, than opens them again with more determination in them. "Enough sad talk! So what do you want to do about what happened tonight? I can talk to Alex and see if he can give me anymore information about this guy you guys are trying to track down if you'd like?"

Clover's Apartment 4:00am

OOC: Sorry, I read your post wrong. I thought Lacey was just kind of staring blankly around the APARTMENT (like she's standing inside)

OOC: Well if that's the case then Lacey will do what I was going to have her do and she would go inside with Clover if Clover lets her as she would like to change too. So let me know after this post if Clover will let her go inside or tell her "adios" for the night. I'm going to start this post with Lacey and Clover back in the truck outside the apartment.

Lacey goes between the two front seats digging around in the back of the truck, not seeming to mind that her dress is riding up pretty high. "Where are you my little baby?" she says as she digs around. "Ah, there you are!" she says and pulls herself back up to sit in the seat properly. She produces a handgun and gives it to Clover. "It's not ready to party but I'm sure our good Father can help give it his blessing. You need to protect yourself in the city Kitten."

The handgun is a 9mm SIG Sauer. (The stats are the same as an Auto Pistol in the Monte Cook Book pg 226)

"Ah magnifique! Brilliant idea! Alex will definitely know where Satan is hiding! Maybe he might even know a thing or two about this other person we are to be looking for... Gilligan was her name I think? So ugly she had to live on an island... And as for you friend, I will pray nightly for them. You should too, if you don't already. Pray, and talk to them. Don't let ze fact that they are no longer here stop you. I talk to people all of the time that are not here, in fact I am talking to them right now. It helps me keep on ze straight and narrow... and not feel so lonely. That is your penance, sister."

Meredith smiled a little at Koln's mention of praying for Deborah and ignored the penance part. "Ok, so I'll talk to Alex tomorrow night and than call you, whats your number?"
