The VFD

Sorry it took so long to finally post something. It may take us a while to get in the swing of things.

Last time I mentioned the VFD from a Series of Unfortunate Events. This secret organization is responsible for putting out fires, both literally and figuratively. This may contain spoilers for anyone who has not read the series or watched the show on Netflix, which by the way was AWESOME. If you would like to be surprised by the series or the show, then Look Away.

First of all, most of my info is coming from the wiki page, which I linked in my last post, the book series/show, and Lemony Snicket "The Unauthorized Autobiography".

Now the VFD stands for Volunteer Fire Department, though not many people know what that entails, because their activities are always shrouded by codes and disguises. No one knows when it started, when it will end, or much of what happened in the middle. It is currently unknown if the organization still exists, or ever did exist.

If you are fortunate, or unfortunate for that matter, enough to be noticed by an agent, and picked out for recruitment, there are a couple of ways this will happen. The first is that you will hear a noise outside. This noise could sound like any number of things, from the howling of a wolf to the turning of a page. This sound will occur in the middle of the night, in the middle of the morning, or, in very rare cases, late in the afternoon. Should you hear this sound, immediately ask your parents, roommate, children, or anyone else that happens to be nearby, "What was that noise?". If they reply, "Nothing", and you reply with, "If there is nothing out there, then what was that noise?", the agents will be listening and know it is safe to act. That night you will be dragged, with parental permission of course, by the ankle into a waiting car.

Recruitment has also been known to be done through taxi drivers showing pictures of infants.

After recruitment, you will be trained thoroughly and rigorously in the codes and disguises of the organization. Though it is not my place to disclose the codes and disguises of a secret organization, a sample of said codes can be found throughout the book series, show, Unauthorized Autobiography, and wiki page.

I think that's enough for this post, so until next time, The World is quiet here.
