    The cemetery saw some activities in the night. Folks cutting through. People driven by grief to seek out lost loved ones. It wasn't as active as other places. Quick movement might be the nocturnal animals going about their evening. As Mable was walking away from the victim that she had fed from, she can hear the solitary foot steps coming up this hill. Another late night visitor to a grave.
    A slight, nearly silent emerged behind her. Near the vulnerable victim that she has left behind. Surely, just an animal quietly moving on through...

    Mable stopped where she was and turned to see who was coming through the cemetery. She stood near one of the bushes in the area. She may have to go back towards the guy. She would pretend she was working. Wait, she was working. She stepped out from the bush to address the person coming through. "Hi." She said simply.

    Has Mable moved all the way back to her victim? Or is she just moving a few feet?

    She hasn't reached him yet. She was heading towards the path near where he is.

    Mable addresses empty air. There is no one coming down the path. Yet she had clearly heard someone! Turning around every which way to scan, she sees a quick movement out of the corner of her eye. It seemed like something very small and black. Perhaps an animal. Following the movement, she spies a solitary man in a letter jacket of a local college walking down the hill. He's clearly too far away to be the noise that she had heard. He had not even heard her address the air and was continuing on his way out of the cemetery at a brisk pace.
    At this precise moment, she hears a soft sound back where she left the victim. There's a sleepy grunt and a small 'what' emitted.

    She saw a quick movement...Damn. She needed to get faster. Was it someone with the ability to shift form as well as be fast? Where did that guy come from?

    Then the grunt ... she ran back to her meal. "Are you okay?" she asked as she approached.

    As Mable approaches her victim, she can sense something is wrong. She can see his legs lying still as he sprawls on the ground. Yet his chest and face are obscured, hidden in darkness. Mable cannot see his face or shoulders. He does not respond to her. As she closes the distance to him, she can see that the moon shines down on him clearly. There are no longer any shadows.
    Her victim is now a corpse. His eyes, a particular light shade of green, are open. They stare sightlessly up at the sky. His mouth is open as he appears to have been trying to speak in the end. One of his arms is stretched out, his hand bent into a claw shape. This arm has now fallen beside him, stretched over his head.

    Did Mable drink too deeply and kill this man? Or does another killer stalk this cemetary?

    Mable scans around quickly, checking for onlookers. She then checks him for signs of an attack or any traces of what did this to him. After that she snaps photos of the body and the placement of it. In her notebook she writes a description of the man leaving the scene.

    She then calls the police, after all she works with them regularly and will play this by the book.

    Mable needs to do some rolls for these plans. 1.) Give me a wits + composure at -2. 2) roll wits+ investigation for checking the body for signs of attack or traces. This is an extended roll that she can spend some time on, but each roll represents time spent with the body before she can call the police, for they won't want her examining the body. Describe how she examines the body, any way she moves the body or any tools she has to collect anything
    For example, does she use a flashlight to examine?

    Mable looked around for onlookers. Then snapped a few photos of the body.

    She glanced at the body and couldn't see anything wrong...

    2)

    She knelt down to check for a pulse. Then turned on the flashlight on her phone to get a closer look around him... She checked his neck and arms for marks before searching the rest of his body.

    Not wanting to waste any more time she called the police. Made some notes in her tree notebook about the guy she saw.

    While she waited she looked around for foot prints etc with her flashlight on her phone.

    failure


    Damn it. she should have tried her tracking ritual. "Damn, damn, damn." She said to the dark sky.
