Curwen sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose as he examined busted trap, searching his mind through all the grimoirs he'd read about what sort of demon this binding was meant to entrap. "I seen one worse than this, once." he said. "Some young idiot stole the bones of a distant ancestor, a magician, and decide to bind him for tutor. 'Course, he didn't make the logic leap that the shade might be able to call something up against [i]him[/i] and the whole thing turned into a shitshow." He stood up, back cracking from leaning over that long. "To this day I'm still not sure if I truly put him back in the ground."

"Point is; this missing girl, Sage, might not be malicious. I hope that she's just stupid, and I hope that demon didn't make he pay too hard for it." He walked to the edge of the hole and called up. He knew that the agency man was still up there but he honestly didn't care about his reprimands at the moment. Not when he still had a job to do. Not if a girl was missing. He shouted up to them, "Put out an APB for this Sage girl. Not as a suspect, that'll just make her friends protect her. Say she's wanted as a witness." It wasn't a lie, she was an incredibly important witness. "And pull her file from the school computer, I want to read it and can't work the blasted things. We need to know where she lives. That girl is our only hope of beating this demon before it harms someone else.

He turned back to the others in the basement. "If we can get this demons name from her, I can put it down no matter how well hidden it is."

(Was it a professional sort of trap that Curwen had encountered before in his studies, or does it look like something that was put together using elements from multiple sources? Are there any elements of the design that give any cues as to what type of demon this was meant to contain? Finally, which part of it failed? What did she do wrong?)
