"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."
Right. Carrie. Absolutely. I'll look into that and get back to you.
But you know I'm actually about to cut hours back at the library to a few weekends, I've got a second job. I'd happily give you some other librarian's numbers.
[would Rincewind really throw other innocent bookkeepers under the bus just to possibly avoid any possible threat of interacting with the Scarecrow himself?
["take from you", oh, that's the sort of phrasing that makes a wizard nervous.]
Right, absolutely, only as I've mentioned, I am starting the second job. At the new mental hospital, actually, so I expect to be very busy, and I just thought maybe you'd appreciate someone more devoted, time-wise.

Why, yes. Yes, he would. In a heartbeat.]

[He has a captive audience. It's great.]
I expect we'll bump into each other whilst you're working. But I understand. You'll be busy. Don't worry, though. I won't take up much of your time.

You know Harleen?

[It's a Gotham thing. You're not a member of their special Arkham residents club.]

Date: 2016-12-02 06:27 am (UTC)The house Rincewind has been to?]
I don't know any Arkham, no.
But what do you mean you live together, have you always lived together? [Harley could have mentioned that!]
