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.

Comments

[sensiblesusan]

The Disc is a big place, but I might. An inmate?

[An awful thought strikes her.]

Please tell me he hasn't got a glass eye.

[sensiblesusan]

Oh, wonderful. I hope it's not one of our former Patricians. I don't suppose you know his name?

Swing can spot a name check miles off.

[pleasesmirk]

Ah, I see my reputation has already preceded me. Although 'attack dog' is hardly fair or accurate.

No matter of your thoughts on me, it is good to see another from the Disc. Sto Plains, I presume?

[sensiblesusan]

Captain Swing. I've read about you.

Duchess of Sto Helit, in fact, but I generally prefer not to stand on ceremony.

[pleasesmirk]

Have you? Where?

Very well. Do you, though, know Ankh-Morpork?

[sensiblesusan]

History books.

I've lived in Ankh-Morpork for several years, working as a governess and schoolteacher. I know the city quite well by now.

[emptyyourself]

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.

[wichita_kansas]

Susan -- I'm sorry I'm late in welcoming you.

Welcome aboard. I look forward to getting to know you.

...and thanks, again.

[sensiblesusan]

You're welcome, of course. How are you feeling?
