First Patrol - This is not my beautiful house

[knurdcopper]

Vimes awoke with a start. Last he remembered he was chasing one of Ankh-Morpork's many murderers down an alley and the next...well...he was waking up here. He looked around, not recognizing any of his surroundings at all

[Hears the yelling on the phone]

I'm not who you're looking for, but I can tell you you're in a place called Mayfield.

[knurdcopper]

[Vimes glances at the phone...he vaguely remembers something similar being set up in his office...not that he ever used it if he could help it. He picked it up.]

Mayfield? How far is that from Ankh-Morpork?

[the_wee_big_hag]

....A different world all together.

Also now that you're here there's five us here from the Disc. Most people come from other worlds and have never even heard of ours.

Everyone here just woke up in a strange house. We've been kidnapped. Though we're still trying to figure out the reason why and who's behind it. At the moment all we know is that they enjoy tormenting us.

[A million questions raced through Vimes' mind, but he settled on one of the simple ones to start with]

Who is this?

[hourai_branch]

Ow.

[knurdcopper]

Hello? Who is this?

[hourai_branch]

I'm Kaguya!

[knurdcopper]

Um...evening Ma'am. Sorry about the outburst.

[updollsdresses]

[That voice sounds... ingratiatingly familiar. Like he's heard it echoing off an alleyway before, shouting something like, "Stop, thief!"]

Sir? Are you... alright?

[knurdcopper]

[Vimes picks up the phone]

OF COURSE I'M NOT ALRIGHT! I'VE BEEN BLOODY KIDNAPPED!

[A pause, and then a calmer but still cold tone]

Who is this?

[updollsdresses]

My name is... Jonathan, sir. What's yours, sir?

[knurdcopper]

.....Sam

[Something about that voice....]

[working_is_hard]

[Why must all her fathers since she's been back be like this?

She's staying out of your way, peaking around a corner.]

Oh Afghanis-tan, you have the best daddy ever, I promise

[knurdcopper]

[Vimes turns as he senses movement behind him]

Who's there?

[working_is_hard]

A-afu!!

[She moves behind the wall.]

[knurdcopper]

[Vimes moves out into the hall and is surprised to see the young girl. He recognizes her from the family photos and kneels down]

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Were you kidnapped here as well?"
