Pen 13 Club

Step On A Crack...

Here's the thing. When you're talking magick, real magick, spells need to be secret. The more people who know a spell, the less powerful it is. 

Superstitions are remnants of spells that became too well known and lost their power. Well... mostly.

The Pen 13 Club is ostensibly an international organization of fountain pen enthusiasts. In reality, chapters of Pen 13 protect their neighbors from supernatural threats (guess what, vampires are real) and mundane ones (guess what, the Mafia is superstitious).

Being an initiated member of Pen 13 means you've been taught a secret technique (of course) to make certain superstitions work again. A little bit. Step on a crack, break someone's back... Actually, more likely a nasty sprain instead of a break. But it definitely puts a crimp in the style of that Mafia guy that's chasing you.

So that's you. The last defense of the weak against the supernatural and dangerous. When you're not at work, at least...

...Break Your Mamma's Back
