Henry Barthow
He cautiously patted the nose that had almost gotten slammed by a quickly revolving door, the opposite of oblivious to the loud conversation they were having while it was still cracked open. Was the girl just lazy, or a shut-in? If she didn't go out out of her house it would certainly explain the distracted sloppiness, but that was hardly the only answer. What was the right reaction to this...?
Henry grumbled to himself and headed in, putting his badge away while digging through his coat for the copies of the reports he'd read. He looked for a place that would be alright to sit as he follow, giving the second woman in the house a nod and a curt greeting.
"Thank you," he sighed, looking between the two. "As I said, I'm looking into the increasing number of incidents occurring in this part of town. At this point, there have been no serious consequences to them that we know of - I mean notable injuries or particularly grave felonies, but it wasn't for their severity that we had this inquiry opened."
He flipped through the pages of his notebook, looking over notes that were both of this and not (taken more out of necessary habit than anything), and clipped together complaint papers.
"As I understand, your neighborhood's crime rate fell tremendously in recent times, particularly supernatural crime," the detective continued, sneaking a pointed look at them. "But even more recently, people have been seeing a lot of offputting things centered in this residental area. If there seemed to be any follow-up or cause we'd have more to go on, but it's a common point that only makes them more suspicious when analysed as a whole."
He dropped the collection of heavily abridged reports on the nearest table and leaned forward, elbows on his knees and hands covering the lower half of his mouth. They only had as much as he could really tell to civilians, but answering the invitation to read would reveal each individual event was more specific and weird than the last.
"What can you tell me about this? Have you seen any unusual or frightening sight like these close-up? Seen anyone that seemed to be setting up... weird symbols, patterns, actions, whatever?"
