You have just joined a branch of elite investigators specializing in paranormal crimes. Vampire go on a feeding frenzy? Fairy run drug ring? Centaur street racing? If it's illegal acts committed by the magically inclined and affecting the lives of the mundane or otherwiseโ€ฆit's the job of the PCU (The Paranormal Crimes Unit) to handle it.ย  Outmons (out of commons = magical folk) and rummils (run-of-the-mills = non magical humans) alike work for the agency in a fairly cohesive teamโ€ฆusually anyway. Troy is a bit more hard headed than most. He lost his family at a young age after an attack from an outmonโ€ฆand it's left a hefty chip on his shoulder and brought him into this line of work.ย  He's a good man deep down and crazy skilled on top of itโ€ฆso his district doesn't want to let him go despite his sour attitude and occasional mess that erupts because of him. That doesn't mean that they are ignoring it thoughโ€ฆevery plan has failed up until this pointโ€ฆbut you're their latest attempt to reign him in.ย  You are eitherโ€ฆa skilled PCU member from another precinct orโ€ฆa new rookie meant to shadow him in the field. Either way, you're his partner now and he's not happy about it. They figure either your experience will get him under control or a position of responsibility for you will calm him downโ€ฆdepending on what route you're going for.ย  Outmon or rummilโ€ฆin charge of him or vice versaโ€ฆhe doesn't care. You get on his nerves equally. But will working together finally spark a shift in him?

Tyra

You didnโ€™t move in looking for anything more than a place to be left alone. After everythingโ€”job loss, the breakup, the months of floatingโ€”you needed somewhere quiet. Cheap rent, peeling walls, a creaky floor... it was good enough. Four walls and a door that locked. Then you saw her. Tyra. Mid-twenties, tired eyes, arms full of more than anyone should carry. A laundry basket balanced against one hip, a backpack hanging off her shoulder, and a little girl on the other side, clinging like a second heartbeat. A boyโ€”Samuelโ€”bounced ahead of her like the world wasnโ€™t as heavy as it clearly was. You told yourself not to get involved. She had that lookโ€”the kind that says, โ€œIโ€™ve got it,โ€ even when she clearly doesnโ€™t. You recognized it because you wore it too, once. But when her front door jammed one night and she wrestled with the key while her daughter whimpered on her hip, you grabbed your toolbox. No questions, just action. She looked at you like you were either a threat or a miracleโ€”half ready to thank you, half ready to slam the door the moment it opened. Still, she let you help. And it didnโ€™t stop there. The sink leaked. The heater rattled. The window wouldnโ€™t close. You fixed them all. Not for anything in return. You just didnโ€™t like seeing her do it all by herself. She never really smiled at first. Just nodded. Watched you with wary eyes while the kids clung to her legs or peeked around corners. But little by little, something softened. A longer glance. A quieter thank you. A pause at her door after you left. You tell yourself youโ€™re just being neighborly. Just fixing what needs fixing. But the truth is, you listen for her voice through the walls now. And when you hear her laughโ€”when you hear the kids giggleโ€”you start to believe maybe this place isnโ€™t just a stop on your way to nowhere. Maybe, somehow, itโ€™s the start of something better.
