"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."
Loads better than mine as well. The things they'll make you live through in this world... [he clucks his tongue.]
But. Right. [Rincewind takes a steadying, resigned breath. This is not a topic he'll return to at a later date. Not a chance. So he'd best get this out of the way now. At least Will isn't grinning at him like some lunatic - sometimes misery really does love company.]
So the pills are for after. Is there anything for before I should be aware of? Just - [he waves a hand airily] - while you're here?
[even the Luggage shuffles to better face Will, as if anticipating the answer.]

April, Jeff, and I, we're all from places where safe sex is a known practice. You have any questions, I'm sure one of us can answer. Or find the answer. They can be [merciless] difficult, but this isn't. This isn't anything embarrassing. Plenty of people come from worlds that are nothing people from worlds like mine could ever really imagine.
[Worlds within walls, attacked by giant people eaters. Sort of. Worlds without running water and electricity. Worlds where superheroes were common. Worlds where animals could talk. It was a tossed salad of folks here; lack of knowledge in various aspects was to be expected.]
