She nods and takes it, assuming it was handed out to her.

Yep, it was!

And they reach a medium-sized one-story house without much ado.

"So presumably we're not gonna break any windows or knock down any doors if we can avoid it…? Does anybody know how to pick a lock, then?" She looks at Sadde, then says, "Oh, wait, part of my curriculum, okay."

"I'm not pressed for time but you might be, I don't need to teach you that right now."

"Uh, yeah, probably don't need to learn it right now," she says.

"In that case, allow me."

Back door: meet Norma Lapère's years of lockpicking experience. It clicks open very quickly.

Sadde's kinda amazed by this.

Eva is likewise!

Theo frowns a little, but okay, sure.

"Do try not to disturb too much," she whispers, and makes her way inside.

Willow follows.

As does Sadde.

The interior of the house is... pretty ordinary. The back door leads to a kitchen, which opens to a hallway leading to a living room, and two closed doors. There's no evidence that its owner is dead other than the absence of people.

Well, that's somewhat to be expected since he died relatively unexpectedly. Probably.

Theo follows in.

Eva also follows in! (Woo.)

The place is fairly small, so it doesn't take them long to find the three tomes in the bedroom. One of them, is, in fact, conveniently open at a page detailing a summoning ritual, how helpful of it.

"Oh, wonderful," she says. "This looks like it might just possibly be related to this."

Is it in Latin? Or can she read it and work out what the demon is?

It is in fact Latin.

"Should we bring this back to the Library?"

"Probably easier than having to break and enter again if we need it for reference?"

"M-maybe we could a-also go home? And look into this tomorrow?"

"You can if you want, that's fine, but if the demon attacks every three days or something, I'd rather find that out soon so we know what sort of timescale to expect an attack on."

"Oh. Right. Yeah. Library, then, I guess."

Eva looks a bit apologetic, but moves to go back to the library.

Theo will follow.

Library! As soon as they arrive Norma grabs the book and starts reading it.

… Well okay then. "Should we test my demon thing then?" asks Theo.
