Selene was no longer a pure vampire, but she was still very much a creature of the night. Where humans needed lights after sundown, starlight was more than enough for her. What with the streetlights, illuminated signs on various businesses, and random light spilling from windows, the cityscape was as well-lit to her at night as it would be to a human under the noonday sun. Even the darker nooks and crannies of Ravenmoore where the city lights barely penetrated; her visual range went much farther into the infrared than any human’s. Her keen hearing, courtesy of the bat genetics in the ancestry of her original line, let her echolocate her immediate surroundings with the slight noise of her boot heels on the pavement, the slow beating of her heart. The heavier air of nightfall was full of the melange of scents that swirled on the slight breezes, dissected and analyzed by the equally keen sense of smell of an apex predator.
Her department-issued car was parked some distance away. It was only a few seconds’ run at her maximum speed, and Dispatch could always contact her on her cell. She walked with the appearance of someone going somewhere, not in a hurry, but purposely, although her path was more or less at random, leading gradually toward what was considered the shadier part of town. Her long coat flared open seemingly without concern, but it was an artful arrangement designed to look casual while still covering her twin machine pistols and the badge that was clipped to her gunbelt just in front of her left holster. Nightfall frequently brought out the all-too-human predators of the city, and there was the chance that what Councilman Holmes had referred to as the supernaturals might be out and about as well. That could be... interesting. And if nothing else, she could don the guise of one of the sheep, and troll for muggers.
