Magrat Garlick, Discworld

[wethen]

((I'm taking Magrat from the very end of Witches Abroad, mostly because that's my favorite of the Witch books and because it has KUNG FU MAGRAT woo-cha!. Sooo... yep. Magrat before she marries Verence and all that. Feel free to recognize her as the queen of Lancre, she'll just be very confused!))A worried-looking young woman with wild, frizzy hair

*Demyx, fresh from his own Sorting, wanders over.*

Who or what is Greebo?

[wethen]

Greebo? He's Nanny's Ogg's cat. Well, most of the time, anyway. Um... he's more of a destructive force in a cat-shaped body, really. He's the reason wolves and foxes don't bother chickens or livestock back home.

*Demyx snickers.* That bad, huh?

Name's Demyx, by the way. And you are?

[wethen]

*nods* That bad. Possibly even worse.

I'm Magrat. Magrat Garlick.*looks a bit sheepish at the name* It's nice to meet you, Demyx.

"Cosmic harmony death kick?" May asks. "I like the sound of that."

She inspects the jewelry with some curiosity. "Do any of these pieces have special properties? Any good for protecting the wearer against danger, or, uh, mind-blowing headaches?"

[wethen]

*brightens up even more - two people interested in the Death Kicks! A new record!* Oh, they're very invigorating! Gets the energy flowing and such.

Um... as for the jewelry, in theory, yes. But it might be better to carry a bread knife and a bit of medicine with you, just in case.

May grins. "And they surprise the daylights out of any robber who thinks he's found an easy target, I'm guessing?" This is the voice of experience talking. "I've been training in self-defense too. It'd be nice to compare notes."

She smiles ruefully at the jewelry answer. "Yeah, I was afraid of that. Unfortunately, it isn't a normal headache, it's a certain-person-induced headache, I think - well, it's a long story and I'm not quite sure about all the details yet." Hoo-boy, is that the understatement of the year.

Time for a subject change. "So did you come here totally by accident, too?""

I've never had anyone try to rob me before, but the pamphlet says that you should be able to kick your opponent's teeth out through their nose after a few practice sessions. *this is the voice of enthusiastic inexperience talking - Magrat's mostly just been practicing the moves in her dining room, and has only punched a few people in her lifetime* Really? That would be... that would be wonderful! Would you like a look at the pamphlet?

*nods sympathetically at the mention of person-induced headaches - she usually needs a lie-down after dealing with Shawn Ogg*

Yes, it was completely by accident. I opened the door to my room at the inn, and then... *shrugs and gestures around at the sorting hall* Then there was all this.

[ugly_old_hat]

How much of that jewelry are you willing to part with?

[wethen]

Um... most of it, I think. *has another box full of jewelery back home* How much would you like?

[ugly_old_hat]

Oh, if you have one particularly BIG piece, I can content myself with that as I'm running out of surface area for my bling!

((so sorry for the lag on this -- Hat changeover + holidays! ))

[wethen]

((No problem! :) ))

... Oh my. You've got quite a collection! Would this work? *pulls out a large, silver anorankh pendant and holds it up for examination*

[ugly_old_hat]

Bling is a Hat's best friend!

Your bribe has been accepted.
