  • The Narrative Laws or Laws of Narrative as known to the PPC are conventions by which certain things must always happen in certain situations in works of narrative fiction. The Legal Department is in part tasked with making certain these laws are adhered to within the PPC, a fact which most agents are keenly aware of any time they try to get from one place to another, or when that one wheel goes rolling off to the side after a catastrophic wreck—even if a wheel had not previously been present. It is not surprising that the narrative laws most cited (and most cursed at) by PPC agents are the Narrative Laws of Irony and Comedy. So much so, in fact, that the two are often used synonymously.
