*Moist comes barrelling down the street and nearly collides with Angua*
Angua! You have to come to the saloon NOW! I think I'm being haunted!
@moist-von-lipwig-official
[Angua glances up from the book she is reading for a half second.]
Do you? What a…pity.
[She sighs and tucks the book away in her back pocket.]
What do you think is haunting you, Mr. Lipwig, and why?
Ted silently nods to angua.
"Oh come on he was found innocent at trial. 'Ectuniating Circumstances' or something like that"
[Angua nods. Then she turns back to Trimble.]
So. What’s going on here? Why do all the Watchmen we send here end up dead?
The younger guard stops. "Oh I got...nothing against lycanthropes in general of course just that Mutt killed a bunch of my friends s-"
Ted cuts him off.
"A Prisoner. Beat em to death in the cells"
"He's leaving out the fact said prisoner murdered 2 girls. One of which was his daughter"
"Still murder."
"He was being Hung in the morning!"
[Angua stares at Ted]
…you’re right. Murder is murder.
I’m sorry about your daughter.
The watchman has lowered the crossbow
"...Damn Kojote has got me jumping at shadows. Freaking werewolf has people shooting at me if I try and leave the watchhouse... And Ted's no help since he won't leave the cell"
"The two acceptable punishments for murder in aridia are death and life imprisonment. They won't hang me so I have to stay in here"
"They found you innocent"
"A miscarriage of justice"
[Angua schools her expression.]
A werewolf? How…awful.
[She glances back at Ted.]
Who’d you kill?
"...Kojote didn't send you. Swear it on your life?" He is lowering the crossbow
I swear. I don’t even know who that is.
"If I were as bad as him I would of just shot you in the back" The teenager is shaking as he holds the crossbow. "And you know very well that I'm Trimble. You know, the last actual guard in the city Kojote hasn't killed off?" The teenager's eyes are visibly surrounded by black bags as if he hadn't slept in days.
Well, as I said before Trimble, I’m one of two Captains in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. I am very good at watching my back.
[Angua smiles, which is never a pleasant thing to experience, but less so when you’re a sleep deprived teen.]
So why don’t you put down the crossbow? I’m sure we can just…talk things out.
"Nice try but I didn't ask for any more re-inforcements. I'm not letting Kojote kill off any more people because they got sent here." Angua would now realize she is in fact staring down something possibly quite dangerous...a twitchy, nervous 14 year old with a crossbow. Not silver tipped or anything at least. And he was wearing a guard uniform...but... "Now you can either walk back out without hurting me or Pete or I can put you out of my misery"
…uh…huh. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t you killing me just mean you’re as bad as him? I mean, you’re both killing guards. …what’s your name?
