Couresbury Paranormal Investigation Bureau

The Couresbury Paranormal Investigation Bureau (CPIB) is a Couresbury-based paranormal investigation 
organisation that investigates the various mysteries of Couresbury and the surrounding area. They first appeared in Manning's Meats.
== Location ==
They are located in Couresbury, over the new end of town, and are operated entirely out of Wren Candle's tiny apartment.
== Operations ==
They mostly find work around Couresbury, occasionally Slotham and New Trashton, regarding paranormal phenomena and unexplained events. While they mostly get their cases from civillians who want their mysteries solved, they also pick up cases from the newspaper and internet. It is common for Candle to bring a souvenir back from the case, if possible. It is unknown how much they charge, but it's presumably not much, due to Inspector Candle's somewhat threadbare quarters in the closing of Manning's Meats.
== Members ==
=== Inspector Wren Candle ===
Wren Candle is the head of the organisation. They are its founder and leader, and despite being a little strange, solve the majority of the cases they take on. It's implied in Manning's Meats that Candle uses the bureau to track the 'yellow butterflies' cases.
=== Deputy Penny Gaines ===
Penny Gaines is Candle's second-in-command. While she generally goes on cases with them, she sometimes stays at the base and 'holds down the fort', especially if it's particularly dangerous or if Candle just wants to go alone. She's the one to call for backup if something happens to Candle.
=== Sergeant Hadiyah Clattering ===
Although Clattering is a policewoman and not strictly a full-time member of the bureau, she is considered an honorary member, having been a friend of Candle's mother and frequently called upon for aid.
== Trivia ==
* The logo both resembles a will-o-wisp ghost and the flame of a candle, referring to the bureau's founder.
** The logo is also visible on Penny Gaines's t-shirt.
