entry the first

[sensiblesusan]

Now that I've gotten settled here, I suppose I ought to introduce myself by what appears to be the customary method. I'm Susan Sto Helit, but please call me Susan. I'm from the Discworld, and I'm a Warden, as yet unassigned.

How fortunate for you, Warden Sto Helit.

[sensiblesusan]

Fortunate? How so?

[emptyyourself]

You're a warden without an inmate. Time for leisure is something you have in spades.

[sensiblesusan]

Though that's a state of affairs unlikely to last, I gather.

[emptyyourself]

And, as such, one to be enjoyed.

[sensiblesusan]

You sound like you speak from plenty of experience, Mr-?

[emptyyourself]

Snape.

I have no firsthand experience with such luxury. I have the dubious honor of being labeled an inmate.

[sensiblesusan]

Ah, I see.

Your place and time of origin, if you don't mind my asking?

[emptyyourself]

Late 20th century England.

I take it you are from the same place as Captain Swing; you seem acquainted.

[sensiblesusan]

Ah, another Roundworlder.

Yes, Swing and I are both from the Discworld. Though I come from a period a few decades on from him; I wouldn't say I'm acquainted with him so much as I've read about him in history books.
