Leo scoffed. Hypnotist huh? Better than saying she was actually practicing undead superpowers. "I had a lot of ambitions before.. things happened. It's amazing how one party can literally fuck the rest of your life up."
"Got a family Jim? Wife? Sumthin'?"

Jim- "Somethin'. Just take it easy with that thing, baby."

"Imagine suddenly being torn away from them, if you even can. No warning, fuckin' nothing. You're gone and they have no idea what happened to you. And they never will."
She looked out the window to see the stars, keeping the gun against his head. "Just to put things into perspective for you. Don't get me wrong, I was never close to what family I had left, exactly.."
"..Still, it hurts that they'll never know the truth." And then, "Ugh, why the fuck am I even telling YOU this?! Drive faster, my trigger finger's itching."

He did speed up, but quickly came to a red light, with cars moving through the intersection, preventing the possibility of running it. Jim- "God no! I hope you can get some patience, because I can't fly this motherfucker over downtown like a helicopter and I don't wanna die."
Jim- "Ugh."

((How doth Leo conduct herself on the rest of the ride there? We'll go to summary mode. Then you can describe her solo experience in the graveyard & we'll re-intro her at the party post-time skip.))

((She'd be quiet until Jim spoke to her again, but other than that she would just silently keep the gun to his head until they got there.))

((Dyamn that's cold. Guess she isn't afraid of accidentally pulling triggers like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. I was imagining he might chill by the time this was over, but it doesn't seem too likely now. Narytheless, ya gotta rep ur character how u will.))
Jim navigated through downtown in mortal terror, and pulled a little too quickly into the parking lot of the nearest business to the cemetery. The cemetery itself had vehicle gates closed for the night, and there was no street parking available.
((Now... Once he's out of her sight, he's not too unlikely to call the cops. This raises a bunch of issues and possibilities I'll let you puzzle out. Most immediate concern - does she leave him now, march him in and out again to make sure she has a ride back, or what?))
Jim- "Here we are."

((So many ideas.)) Leo nodded and brushed off her hood. "Good. Now gimme the keys. Your phone, too. Make it quick."

He complied, putting his hands up between moves just to be safe.
Jim- "Maaan, this ain't cool."

She took both and stuffed them in her pockets. "If only you knew, buddy." Quickly, she opened the passenger side door, got out, and moved to the drivers side, gun pointed to the window. "Hate to do this to ya, really I do, but it's time to go on a little adventure. Out of the car, nice and slow."

Jim- "..." The fact he didn't have anything to say probably meant he didn't think she was going to kill him. At least he wasn't begging and whining. Leo marched him into the cemetery. There was a gap in the iron fence easy to walk through, apparently the gates more designed to keep cars out after hours than people.
The grounds were fully darkened though, so as Jim's feet sloshed in the wet grass, he got very clumsy. To Leo the reflected city light, faint star light, and even the heat of the man's body were enough to see by.

((Heavy shiz ahead, yo.)) "Try not to fall, please." As they walked, Leo looked out for any gravestones marked with 'M' or 'MUN.' Eventually they came across a tombstone towards the back of the cemetery, hidden in the shadow of trees looking overhead. Plants had all grown around it."Here we go.." Leo crouched down in front of it and set the gun on top of the gravestone. She brushed away some of the shrubbery to find that the engravings were worn with age - It looked like her mothers gravestone hadn't been taken care of all these years - but she could just make it out.. TRI EO MU INGH M Moth r to Le M ningha , ife to Edmu d uni gham. The birth and death years had been completely worn out; leaving behind grooves in the stone where they would have been, but Leo knew her death was a little over seventeen years ago. She sat in the dirt and stared at it; tears filling her eyes.. "Hi, mom.." Why did this happen? More specifically, why did this happen to her? Was this God's way of punishing her for the delinquent lifestyle she had led until this point? 'No, don't be ridiculous Leo. You don't believe in God.' Nevertheless, the inevitable was dawning on her; Anyone she's ever spoken to, ever met or loved, (save the people in the film crew,) All of them, her dad.. They'll all grow old and die, without her. They'll never know that she didn't die in that bus crash, or that she was actually turned into a member of the undead for a reason that has yet to be revealed.
It all seemed like a dream. Up until now, she had just gone with the flow. But the flow was leading her to open waters, and Leo was without a paddle. "It's all bullshit.."
"..Such fucking bullshit. I wasn't always the golden child, but I sure as hell didn't deserve this!" Who was she talking to? Her mom? Jim? Herself? It looked like she was thinking out loud, if anything, and didn't realize it. She sprang to her feet, angry tears dripping down her cheeks. "You died because you weren't strong enough. Well not me. You hear me? Not fucking me!"
"I'm gonna train my ass off and become stronger than any of them! You'll see." She took a step back to regain her composure, scooped up the gun, and then tossed the keys back to Jim. Leo stared at the ground and flipped up her hood, hiding her face."Let's bounce. I don't want to be here any longer than I have to be."

Jim- "Yeah. OK. Er... shame your g-gun doesn't have one of those, er, flashlight things..." His eyes must have adjusted though because he was more sure-footed on the way back.
((Now the question - did she use him as a chauffeur, drive herself, how did she throw off trails for police to follow on the way back? Did she tie the dude up to slow his ability to get the word out to cops? Did she do something even weirder?))

When they got back to the car, rather than the backseat, Leo slid into the passenger side, being sure to keep her head turned away enough and her hood lowered so he couldn't see her face. She wasn't sure if he had already, but just in case.. "Renfrey, past 32nd. Let's go." She didn't bother to lift her gun; She had a feeling she didn't need to at this point.

Jim- "Back again, right." He just looked ahead, only furtive side glances every few minutes to see if there was a gun on him or not. On the trip back, traffic had lightened considerably, but was still pretty thick downtown. They reached the spot, several blocks from where she had initially picked him up.
