Not down on any map
Welcome to a Halloween story with my police sims! It starts out with a murder case, and ends as… time travel? Or are things not as they seem? This chart shows the characters with their current life...

The investigators drive to the suburbs…

According to Daniel, Pip’s home is the Dreamer residence at 215 Sim Lane. The girl lives here with her parents and maternal grandfather. There are also an aunt and uncle, about whom Daniel doesn’t remember more than that they exist, and a paternal grandfather, who lives elsewhere in Pleasantview.
The house looks no different from all the other homes in town. It is kept tidy and decorated for Halloween. A garden in the backyard is testament to at least one resident’s nature enthusiasm.
Nothing on the outside indicates that nefarious schemes are happening here.

Gavin takes a quick look at the surroundings in batform. He gives his report in a chirpy fruitbat voice, clearly having trouble to speak as a bat. In fact, to anybody outside the DPD Gavin the bat sounds completely unintelligible.
“There are still so many questions”, Hank says. “Pip has more or less confessed that she is behind the whaling scenario, but how? Children cannot split their souls. Even if she’d been the most powerful spellcaster or vampire in a previous life, now she is stuck in a pre-pubescent body that simply cannot access occult powers.”
“Other than lava bombs.”
“Other than lava bombs, correct, Tina. Let’s hope we won’t have to face some tonight.”
Hank’s total lack of sarcasm when he says this doesn’t bode well…
“Enchanting is the rarest and most complicated magical art”, Hank continues.
“In Detroit only two persons are trained in it.”
There is a moment of silence, when this truth fully sinks in. Because the two enchanters in question are Daniel’s goddaughter and Sigstein Connor. One or both men may still play the DPD for fools. If it turns out to be Sigstein, the investigators are equipped to deal with the betrayal. But if it’s Daniel, then Hank and Gavin, who have put their careers on stake for him in the past, are guilty of the worst of misjudgments.

“Good evening, Mr. And Mrs. Dreamer…”
“Mister Reed! Is this a home visit? Lotti isn’t in trouble…?”
But what are the chances of that, if their daughter’s teacher is accompanied by not one policeman, but a whole squad ranging from beat cops to paranormal investigators?
“Uh… In what ways is Lotti in trouble, Mister Reed?”
While Daniel talks to the Dreamers, Gavin assigns tasks to the rest of the team. They agree to let Hank to the talking.

“We’re investigating a case of artifact misuse and have reason to assume that your daughter has come into contact with – or possession of – an enchanted book. But first tell me, are any of you spellcasters?”
“No, Officer.”

“We shouldn’t take their words on that.”
With these words Sigstein takes a potion bottle out of his backpack. What he needs now is the ability to spot magic auras. There are various ways to accomplish that and gulping down a potion in the background is the least intrusive one. Unlike a spell cast on the Dreamer couple it doesn’t require their consent either. Hypocritically as that sounds, thus is the law.
After having imbibed the bottle’s contents, Sigstein looks around. But the only golden aureola he spots is the one around his own head.
“Stupid potion”, the spellcaster mutters. “I know I am magical. Who wouldn’t be aware of their own magic powers?!”
“Pippilotta Dreamer, apparently”, Gavin remarks.

Because it’s a custom/modded skill ;-)
