"Er... yes, okay, I suppose I should tell you that if you're trying to reach me I'm not here, and if you're trying to reach me because you want to do something involving pointy bits of metal or otherwise painful objects, I'm never going to be here. So sorry."
Probably, yes. Not as well of course, but that is the price of friendship, isn't it?
[But before this call starts to sound too emotionally manipulative...]
Another thing, Rincewind, if you don't mind -- I require your expertise. Given how much time you've spent at libraries here, could you recommend a book of modern American politics? Something comprehensive but not condescending. Something you would enjoy, in fact, as you're also from a world built upon quite different policy.
you just maybe shouldn't get too deeply involved. surely temporary is working well enough? why tie yourself down? you could try other work then on the side and maybe find something better.
As long as they don't turn my skin blue or make me see things, I suppose. [pretending that jab didn't poke quite as hard as it did.]
Politics? [a pause.] I'm sure I could, yes. Running for mayor or something are you? Or is it for someone else? Only I thought your world was rather similar to this one already.
that's rather reductive, calling him the source of evil. he's an absolutely dangerous bastard but I wouldn't say he's the reason people drown cats or anything. he calls himself an angel but god is more apt.
[a frustrated snarl. It's bad enough Petyr throwing Chilton's name in Rincewind's face every time he wants to make a point, but hearing his psychiatrist (his friend!) drop the noble's name in return is absolutely unbearable.]
Right, look, the last thing I need right now is to be compared to that Grand Vizier in the making, thanks.

Date: 2016-05-20 04:19 am (UTC)I still think some sort of talk should be able to happen. [because it's bloody inconvenient.]
