[ A sheet of papyrus is shoved under the door of House's room. Will has already tapped Mary to help spread some ideas, so House gets the call up for information spreading.
Avoid being sociable for the win. ]
Notes from the street.
Can confirm that the natives have no knowledge or experience of the deadly bird attack our Complex suffered. When I inquired if they had seen or heard anything they looked at me as if I'd fallen and hit my head.
Additionally, when I described the creatures, the natives appeared to be ignorant of any knowledge of them. Again, I got more than a few looks that suggested my sanity was in question.
This was something localized to us.

PS: This papyrus is expensive. Use it for any return messages.
[A day later--he's not going down to Will's room and back up unless he has to, and it's easier just to do it in the morning when he's heading out, anyway--the papyrus is returned with House's large, messy writing scratched on it. There's also a little drawing of an owl on a motor cycle. ]
Library says they're Strix (Boeus, Origins of Birds). Depending on the story, they're descended from a chick who pissed off Aphrodite and Artemis (Boeus) or they're descended from harpies (Ovid, Fasti). Known for screaming like banshees and sucking babies blood in the cradle.
[ When the paper is returned, there is no message on it. Will had gotten House's message and hiked himself down to the library to do some reading, but didn't feel a need to write about it.
House was a smart man, he'd figure out.
Especially since the owl was now sporting a pair of reading glasses and had a book set out across the handlebars in front of him. ]
