P. D. F.

TLC 02/3

The sign that hung on the door to the large, open room said PDF in large black letters. It stood for Paranormal Defense Force and was comprised of a small group of hand-selected magical creatures whose ancestry went back to Oriceran. In a grey brick building, in a run-down manufacturing area in Arlington, Virginia. On Earth to track and monitor unregistered use of magic. Not associated with the Silver Griffins.

Each hire had to have been born on Earth, and to have some % of Oriceran heritage in their DNA. Magical beings made ordinary human beings very nervous, in general. It was why they kept the small department off the books. The PDF was the ultimate black-op. There were jokes around the department about what PDF actually stood for. On bad days it was joked the PDF stood for put down fast. A reference to the days when human beings liked to dissect anything they didn’t understand. On better days, PDF stood for presto digitalis frenzy, an incantation every magical child learned that made someone cluck like a chicken.
