Indeed!

"Okay, so, uh... We need a plan of attack."

"… To get ahold of the librarian's body and do magic to it, or to get to the gym teacher, or what?"

"Yes."

"Okay, well, depending on what you can find out from the body – like what sort of demon decided to rip its face apart – we'll probably want to do that first and work out some sort of countermeasure for going against the gym teacher. Right?"

"Exactly! But it might also be a dead end, so..."

"So you want us to research possible face-eating demons," Willow completes, grinning.

"Lovely," he says. "Any books in particular that might make reference to it? Because I thought we'd decided that the applicable information was probably in that book that wasn't at the library."

"Probably, yes, but it'd be very remiss of us to not even check. And besides, even if I do get a magical signature out of the body, that doesn't mean I'll be able to recognize it as anything, so knowing more won't hurt."

"I—I could help! With the magical signature."

Sadde eyes her. "Thank you for reminding me, what the heck was that the other day at the Bronze?"

"What was what?" she asks innocently.

"So," he interrupts. "All the books, or is there some book that's probably better for 'face-eating demons'?"

"B-but it kinda looked like something had left his face from the inside, didn't it? M-maybe it's not face-eating d-demons."

"Oookay, is there a book that's better for face-related demonic such things or whatever?"

"Not that I know of!"

She grabs one about magic and starts leafing through it to find the appropriate spell for magic signature detection.

"I still don't know how to read Latin, so I'm pretty sure I can't help here, at least not much."

"Some of these are translations, actually, you can do those."

"Oh, okay."

So should he get to reading for face-eating or face-destroying demons? Does it look like that's what they're doing right now?

Well, Sadde's reading magical tomes and Willow has something with grisly images open but is eyeing the books on magic covetously.

Okay, so, getting to reading the books on evil demons it is.

It was probably written by a crusty old man who did not know what the word 'fun' means.

Probably was.

Theo's used to some books being pretty boring, though, and he can still read it anyway.

Demon that eats hands, demon that eats arms, demon that doesn't eat but likes eviscerating people for fun, probably harmless demon the author had to really contort themself into making sound dangerous, this might actually be a fairy, this is probably mythical...

Lots and lots of fun things.

Anything else?

No demons from that book seem to immediately jump out at him as particularly face-destroying.
