Chapter 3:  Power
(Dealing with the LARP at 13th of September 2008)

Rose came back the other night after a visit with the Eldest of the Malkavians, Lord Rufus Watson. He is like the Uncle of all the Malkavians, it would seem. As soon as Rose talk about him, She calls him Uncle. Her Sire, the one that created Her still lives in Great Britain where She is from. When She talks about him, She calls him Daddy. I can see why, in a certain sense. Rose and Lord Rufus are both Malkavians, and he is older then Her. In a sense, he is Her Uncle. And Her Sire created Her, so in a sense, he is Her Father. It takes a bit to wrap your mind around.

Anyway, to Rose family is very important. I guess that is why She has created two Childes. Thats what they call the one they have created. One Childe. Several Childes. Joy is just one of them. She has created another one, many years ago during the 1920s called Johan Ulenius. He is a doctor, and runs one of the mental hospitals in the city. It's an impressive building, although it appears to have a curse on it. The weather is always bad there, raining and such, even when the weather is nice down-town. Anyway, Rose and Joy were worried about Ulenius since the stress over all Malkavians what with the Madness Network being broken. Rose asked me to drive her and Joy to Ulenius's hospital, since Kim wasn't at home. Of course I did. I wasn't allowed inside though. Apparently the whole thing is maze-like in the construction and the locks on the doors aren't regular locks but inventions that Ulenius has made. On the top-floors is a regular mental hospital, a bit more depressing, but still. The bottom-floors though are Ulenius's personal experimentation floors. Rose is often there playing with the patients staying at those floors. Makes me jealous. She should play with us! I want to see that smile of Hers! Anyway...

I had to wait quite a long time before Rose and Joy came out of the hospital, and became quite worried. One of Johan's ghouls came out telling me that they were having an argument, Rose, Joy and Johan, but that I shouldn't worry. They're family and should be alright. I noted though, how nervous he was. It got me nervous too.... I asked him to take me inside to find Rose. I was desperate for it, but he had been ordered from Johan, his Master to keep me there, so every time I tried to get to the door, he stopped me. I am not a strong ghoul; that is not my... thing. But I tried, oh did I ever to get to Rose. Just as we were about to fight over the door, I think he would have hurt me seriously then, Rose and Joy came out of it. They looked pleased with themselves, and not hurt as I had feared. Rose just patted me on the head and we left. I was so scared I might lose her. A constant fear. Without Her, there would be nothing, and I'd die.

To amuse and distract themselves, they ordered me to drive them to Joy's club. She owns a club here in Borås, called Torture Garden. Rose loves to visit this place, and is very proud of Joy. Joy isn't the only one owning the club though. She co-owns it with another Malkavian vampire, that Rose has taken under her wings as well named Celene de Clair. Small, looking innocent with big eyes. A classic goth girl. Sometimes I wonder what lingers under Celene's innocent long eye-lashes... When a Kindred who is released and free, is still in need of more learning a mentor is named for him or her, to take care of said Kindred instead of the Sire. So, Rose has taken Celene de Clair as her adoptive daughter almost, being her mentor. Seems that she is quite fond of Rose to... She greeted us with a big smile. The theme for the evening was burlesque and there was this gorgeous dancer there looking very much like Dita van Teese, and a lot of guests already even though the evening was young.

This time I didn't have to stay by the car, Rose told me to go in as well and enjoy myself, taking the evening off as She and Joy planned to walk home. She patted my head and told me Her good girl had earned an evening of fun. Oh, how happy and proud it made me feel when She did that! Celene giggled and said I was glowing. Then she disappeared in the club to make sure everything was alright for the evening.

Such an interesting evening it was. I was let loose for the evening, a night off. Amazing! And it was only me. Bosse and Kim were somewhere else, I wasn't sure where. I spent quite a bit of time at the bar, finding the best drink for the evening. Something colourful and tasteful... The other guests and employees didn't know they in fact worked for vampires, and it was fun to walk around in such a... human environment... The liquor bubbled in me and I felt like I could take on the world. Dancing was wonderful, so many bodies grinding against each other... It was sooo arousing. I saw Rose and Joy too on the dance floor. Rose tall and towering over Joy, who is much shorter, dancing close to each other... Seeing them dancing, I was desperate for a fuck, quite frankly and whispered a suggestion to the man and woman I was dancing with to come with me. Two gorgeous goths the woman looking very much like Rose, they eagerly agreed. When we left the club, I saw Rose in the corner of my eye looking at me, giggling.

We have a credit card each us ghouls and with this I paid for a hotel room at one of the hotels in town. Not one of the sleazy ones, but a regular one. The evening was spent in an erotic haze in the bed. They were good. Both of them. It was clear this was not the first time they had picked up a third person to join them. Well, this time they got picked up instead. In the morning I left, before they woke up, only paying for the room. I never found out their names. I left feeling empty, only having the itch scratched. And I knew, and still know, the only thing that can ever sate me is Her.... And She'll never let me.

I walked back to Torture Garden. A different place in daylight. Quite and empty. The employees gone, and Celene in her haven somewhere in the house. The car was still there, luckily. And I drove home. Coming home, I saw I was not the only one having a wild night. Kim had one too, and looked somewhat ruffled. Bosse on the other hand, always looking spotless having his morning coffee.... Damn him. Walking past him to get coffee to, there was a sparkle in his eyes when he looked me over.

From that morning onwards, we help each other, Bosse and me... to scratch that itch that can never fully disappear. There is a desperation in it. We don't love each other. We just... need it. Badly. This seems to amuse Rose too. Everything human, so to speak, that we do amuses Her.

She went to another social gathering that Saturday. Was pleased as you can be when She went there, but not so much when She returned. She looked worried too. This Silence that earlier has just been rumours has turned out to be much much more. There must have been some truth to the sight that Joy had. Apparently all Kindreds has disappeared from the southern parts of Sweden. There used to be plenty of them before. Now they have disappeared without a trace. Rose was talking with the other Kindreds, to find out information about this Silence. Considering the silence in the Malkavians heads, the broken Madness Network, Rose figured it might be connected as She told us. I can see that. An armed force of quite a few of the Kindred in the city, the ones good at fighting, was sent south to investigate. One of them died there, turned to dust. Seems like this Silence is connected to water and all the monsters and other things that you can find there. Water-zombies and other things... that apparently wants to kill every single Kindred they can find. I have never ever meet a zombie, and sure don't want to. Rose was quite disappointed that the discussions about how to deal with this Silence, whatever it is, postponed the decision about who was going to be Chief-Harpy of Borås still. She has done all the Chief-Harpy duties, without getting any credit for it, for quite a few weeks now... Well, even though the delay annoys her, She toowants to prevent the Silence from reaching Borås.

I hope the Kindreds succeed. I do not want to meet a zombie, or be eaten by these water-monsters... We, us ghouls, might be asked to fight for them, the Kindreds. Bosse's wife did once, and died. I hope it won't come to that. But if it does, I'd do it, I'd die for Her. I would.

This really fleshes out the larp, putting it all in order so to speak. I might consider doing something similar. Very nice!

I am having way to much fun writing this. :-P It is what keeps me sane on boring days at work... X-D And, whenever that LARP comes and Rose dies, I'll have this as a memory of her adventures. :-)

I am especially happy you like it, considering how much a part of Rose story Joy is. So, your praise means alot. Thank you. :-) *bows*
