SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AT A PRIVATE RESIDENCE

At half past the Third Night Bell, a young woman named Suzy Dizoruin
entered the main Guardhouse and asked to place a report of suspicious
activity.

Ms. Dizoruin works as a flower delivery girl for a local grower, and
she was making a scheduled weekly delivery to the house of a Mr.
Loren, who she understands to be a magician of some skill.  Normally,
he answers the door himself, but tonight the door was opened by a
stranger.

The man was tall and thin apparently human, wearing black clothing.
His skin was a pale white, and had a pattern of blue veins at his
jawline and temple ((this is a description of Ixyxlo'xnx in one of his
guises)).  At first, the man blocked Miss Dizoruin's view of the
premises.  However, a loud crash of breaking glass echoed from the
back room, and the man left to go back there, inviting Miss Dizoruin
in.

Miss Dizoruin stepped inside and requested payment for the flowers,
and another stranger stepped out of the back.  She was a beautiful,
very fair-skinned, petite blonde human in a fine purple silk dress
with a "fancy-looking" hairstyle ((this is a description of
Isabelle)).  The woman inquired as to Miss Dizoruin's purpose, and
once told, informed the girl that Mr. Loren was busy and in no need of
flowers.  The woman dismissed Miss Dizoruin.  As the girl left, she
heard what sounded like a scream or shout coming from inside, although
she was unsure due to the intervening walls.

Miss Dizoruin appeared shaken by the experience, and was sure there
was something odd going on.  This officer recommends a courtesy visit
to Mr. Loren's house at ((address)) in the morning, and for other
guardsfolk to keep an eye out for the described individuals being
involved in any suspicious behavior.  Miss Dizoruin provided her
current address, enclosed, and is willing to answer further questions
should the need arise.

ALLEGED ATTEMPTED MIND RAPE

Mr. Bodkin of Terrace Crescent again reports an attempt by
Arms-Lieutenant Kirin Arnise to sexually assault him in his dreams.
According to Mr. Bodkin, Lt. Arnise appeared out of uniform and
performing a series of provocative poses, and could only be fought off
by creative use of a basin of clotted cream that was present in said
dream.  Mr. Bodkin demanded that Lt. Arnise be reprimanded, although
he said that an apology in person would cause him to drop charges.

It is this officer's recommendation that Lt. Arnise remain above
suspicion barring more conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, despite this
being Mr. Bodkin's twelfth report of mental intrusion by various
guardsmen and other armored/uniformed individuals.

NOISE COMPLAINTS

14 noise complaints, including one by a husband against his wife.
Details of each are attached.

Conclusion:

An unremarkable evening with the exception of Miss Dizoruin's report.
As it is the end of my shift, I am passing responsibility over to the
Morning Officer and returning home.

By my hand,
Spellcaster Peony Heatherdown of the Upper Darian
Night Officer on Duty
