The sleigh is still there.

The boars are still there.

The smell is tisll there, and will probably be there long after they've gone.

The skeleton is still dressed in red, he's still there.

Have you been a good boy / girl / being this year?

This may not be the weirdest thing Bob's seen in Milliways so far, but it'll definitely make his Top Five list.

Hogswatch, he repeats. The mid winter holy festival that ensure the rising of the sun on the coming year.

Duh.

Bob frowns. "Wait, does this have something to do with that 'Christmas' thing everyone's been talking about? Because I don't celebrate Christmas, I didn't even know what it was until I came here..."

Similar festival, different world, he explains. Ho. Ho. Ho.

"Ah. So are you... Santa, then?"

It diden't look like the Santa he'd seen in Games, but...

Not quite, he admits. But I'm fulfilling the same aspect

"Oh-kayyyyy."

Pardon his lack of reverence. Bob has about as much to do with the Death of the Discworld as a single kiwi fruit has to do with the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

So, he presses on. Have you been a good being this year?

A year is a very long time for a sprite. Death The Hogfather has just asked Bob to account for about a third of his entire life to date.

"I think so..." he says hesitantly, after a long pause.

And will you continue to do so next year, and believe in the Hogfather?

"What's a Hogfather?"

Tonight, he says, I am.

"Ah."

Another long pause.

"Yes."

Although he doesn't see the point in believing in something that's, y'know, right there.

OK, says Death. What would you like for Hogswatch, then?
