    Another night.

    Cold shadows of winter. Thick darkness cut by harsh blades of light from the new shed and warehouses of the rail yards. Clank and rumble as a train - this one a goods trail - pulls away: slowly winding across the landscape like a serpent, picking up speed like the wind.

    Off in a corner the spoil heaps and debris piles shape the land into a simple amphitheatre. Shadows cling to it and, given its general shape and direction, it is ignored by the few Herd who hurray about on their night time jobs.

    Ignored and unobserved, the Uratha can converse in their territory with reasonable safety.

    Viola-once-and-again-a-wolf, yawns toothily, paw over paw, as she her tail curls up around her rump.

    Mouth stays open, pulling in the growingly familiar scents of home and ears flick catching the same for the sounds.

    Even with the not so undercut scent if rust-industrial decay it was a million times better then the think cloying scent of the Cat Thing that had invaded their territory.

    A moment more and then Viola-wolf with get up and look for the half moon and find out if his cop buddies figured anything else out.

    Keeping the balance is as much an internal struggle as it is a responsibility. Too much time on two legs and you squander your predatory strengths. Too much time as a wolf and you forget to stay sharp. Intelligent. But something has been bothering Tristan. In his restlessness, he's been tearing away through the rail yards in his wolf-skin.

    Viola would probably be around. Her smell still lingers on the property. He'd need to find out what she saw. More importantly... he'd need to find the cat-beast again. Spotting her in her wolf-skin, he pads over to greet her. The grey wolf's tail is held high as he approaches. Perhaps less in dominance as it is in lack of submission.

    Viola-wolf huffs at the sight. Not risking to meet him. But acknowledging him with a flick of her ears, and a swish of her tail.

    <<Found cats. Many cats. And cat-blood-scent-man-made cat skin.>> she begins without pleasantries or greetings. Why waste the time? <<What found at cat den?>>

    His first response is an uncertain stare. Some kind of man-made cat suit? Yeah... that's normal. Then he finds his own words.

    <<Ritual. Woman blood. Cat blood. Same cat blood.>>
    The Tristan-wolf paws the ground, ears flattening just a little as he struggles to convey his message. He lets out a thin whine. <<Wolf was there! Claws to kill woman!>>

    It had bothered him much more than the unfortunate sight of the bloody ritual; that he was almost certain Uratha had been there. In that very house. Frustrated, Tristan shakes free of his wolf form. Slowly, the man pushes himself upright. Dusts himself off. The look on his man-face is no less concerned.

    "Fuck! Much as I like feeling the wind through my fur, I can't tell you what happened with a wolf's tongue."
    He shakes his head. His main-poise is lacking it's authoritative edge. This shit has been eating at him. "Woman got mauled in her bedroom. She was on her knees, doing some kind of ritual. Door closed and everything." He frowns. "But it looked like one of us had been there to do it."

    Tristan paces off to the side, not really looking at anything. "Oh... and something else didn't make sense to me. I tasted the blood at the scene. Viola..." turning back to look at her, "It was the same blood as the one we killed. Like one creature in more than one body."

    The incredulous look on Tristan's wolfy face has Viola offering her own wolfy laugh in return which shifts and morphs as she dose, into a human chuckle.

    "Like a bloody cloak. Found it and another one in the basement. Smelled fuckin' awful down there." she explains, sitting up and crossing her jean clad legs.

    Her attention zeros in as he whines out. Unable to convey his meaning, "Figured there'd be a ritual. Cat things ain't natural. But...Uratha...." that thought freezes, as Tristran-wolf sheds his fur for skin, the rest of his words have her rooted.

    "What the actual fuck." it's not really a question, more of an exclamation. "How the fuck is that possible?"

    Body jumping? Twins? Clones?

    Viola presses her back against the twisted metal at her back, "Fuck. Is this gonna be like a we hafta kill 'em all thing? Or is gonna be more of those stupid vampire movies about killing the head vampire only with these cat fuckers?"

    Dead eyes follow the elodoth as he paces, "Hector...mighta heard something if your drawin' a blank."

    Viola didn't even try to wrack her brain to see if her da left an impression of this shit in his tales. This shit woulda stuck out.

    "So they'd, what, put that skin on and go out human hunting as some cat monster?" And would that even work? He could pry through every notebook he's taken - on the force and on his own - and not find a single clue to that puzzle.

    "Asked myself the same thing." he says, frowning. "This isn't my area of expertise." He can only imagine how she'd take that. She probably expects a Bone Shadow to be a a walking library for mystical nonsense. Rubbing at his jaw and looking none-too-certain, he finally nods. "Worth asking. If Hector doesn't know, it's gonna be a big bloody mess trying to track them all down."

    But they had that, didn't they? He could, at least, track the creatures wherever they go. He'd tasted its blood... and wearing his Urhan form he could probably track the thing through a filthy truck stop.

    "There's is a lead I should follow up on: the lady performing that botched ritual. If she survived her trip to the hospital, anyway."
    Tristan fishes out his phone."One way to find out..." he says, as much thinking aloud as for Viola's benefit. He punches in the number to the local station. "This is officer Hardt. I need to follow up on that mess from [address]. Did the victim make it to the hospital?"

    Yumyumcrow I figured this wouldn't be particularly sensitive information to give out, but if a social roll is required, let me know.

    Tristan is a Sworn Officer. He was also at the scene. Under such circumstances, liberties are given.

    The victim did indeed make it to the hospital. Just. She is still there, in fact, comatose and on life support and somehow hanging in there by some miracle. No one knows if, or when, she will awaken - or indeed if she will recover should she wake. They were able to save her jaw.

    So far the investigation has confirmed that there were two student's living in the house: Saskia and Rhonda. Well to do families, related by blood and marriage. They were renting (or rather, the parent's were). No enemies, family or otherwise. A couple of troublesome relatives but long out of contact and besides, not in town. Rhonda and Saskia were relatively normal people - studying art and business; a normal set of friends and associates. Did have some unusual hobbies, running into the neo pagan scene but no concrete associations with any group.

    The investigation has stalled for want of material evidence. Only Viola and Tristan seem to know of the 'cloaks'.

    She deadpans. "But you're supposed to be a walking library of mystical shit*"

    "I don't fucking know." hand rubs at her scalp before dropping back to her lap. "It's probably possible. I mean look at the world. Someone sees something or fuck-a wolf's panting after some done bitch. Lets something's slide. Then bamb. All it takes is that bitch bastardizing a ritual. Something likes it. Or's offended and boom. Cat monsters." which is seriously the best guess Viola has.

    Tristan dose his cop shit and Viola being the paragon of trying new things, dosen't kick a rock, but finds a pebble and flicks it.
