Honor Before Reason | |
| Work Ethic / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: Pixies seem to prefer taking food as a reward for a job well done instead of just taking the food. | |

Glamour: It's revealed that pixies only use the illusion of home repair instead of actually fixing anything. | |

Our Pixies Are Different | |
| Work Ethic / int_6fbf20e4 | comment |
Our Pixies Are Different: Pixies are a type of House Fey that can be bribed with food into taking care of one's home, Kristine bribing them with cookies and fast-food to do her house-chores for her. Though later it's revealed that they use magic to disguise the problems as home repair. | |

Protection Racket | |
| Work Ethic / int_a6ec25e4 | comment |
Protection Racket: While the pixies at first operate on a basic payment plan (Kristine gives them food, they fix and clean things), they eventually start purposefully break things just so Kristine can pay them to fix it. This is considered a natural progression of how House Fey operate, according to Monster. | |

Mage Born of Muggles: Kristine is a magically cognizant child born to incognizant parents, meaning, unlike most humans, she can perceive and remember magic and magical creatures. | |

Fantastic Legal Weirdness | |
| Work Ethic / int_f807e541 | comment |
Fantastic Legal Weirdness: Apparently there are legal systems in place that prosecute Cogs that try to take advantage of Incogs, Monster theorizing that Kristine's dad was sold a house full of pixies by a real estate agent on purpose. He then leaves them the number to an agency that will help reimburse them for the house. | |
