 My dear miss, and please, call me Moist if you will, I don't mean to bring attention to any sort of ignorance but...surely you're aware that there are characters out there with far more development? Yes, it's true! A whole plethora of sorts, all with varying degrees of wit and charm and, more importantly, credibility. Why, I've heard there are some who can even fire lasers from their eyes or turn things to gold with a single touch! Surely a simple former postmaster pales in comparison to such debonair sorts? 

No, no. Don't feel pity for me at all. I promise you, I will find a way  to make due as you search for a more fulfilling avatar for your ever-dwindling well of free time. For free time is such a precious commodity, isn't it? Of course it is. Yours most of all. 

So yes, I insist that you have all sorts of adventures with your superheroes, your mages, and your talking animals. I will be perfectly content to sit on the side and continue on as things are.

Clever.

Unfortunately the Mundane sort aren't particularly keen on listening.

I mean, yes, it was a good effort and all that, but probably futile. I expect you'll find yourself thrust into something New and Unpleasant before too long.

SUSIE!

[stampofaccrual]

Hardly, I assure you.

Futile. [ hm. a word he doesn't like much. Moist puts on his most charming of grins ] Is that so? Spoken from experience?

[no_nonsense]

Yes, it is.

[Honestly, Lipwig, does this look like the face of a person who takes things on faith? Susan is very nearly the patron deity of Speaking From Personal Experience. (Technically, the title belonged to the Wizzard Rincewind, despite the fact that his experience with most things involved him, personally, running away from them.)]

You'd have better luck talking a Wizard out of his hat, frankly.

Sitting on the sidelines doesn't seem your style, Mister Lipwig.

Are you implying that you have to shoot lasers out of your eyes to be Credible? Why if you believe that, you must be incredibly dull. [Teatime's cocked eyebrow and overall unimpressed demeanor say all that needs to be said on that front.]

[piecemaker_detritus]

You are gonna have to pull the other one, it is having bells on. If there is someone touchin' fings into gold, we would've caught 'im by now, on account of having to protect him from a mob, see.

[ Ankh-Morpork being Ankh-Morkpork, of course. ]
