There is no writing at first, but there are a series of dots and squiggles. It's finished off by a long, dark, violent dash through the middle of the page. In the margin, he etches, magic? wizards There is a long pause as Vimes accosts some poor passer-by to ask to see his journal in order to

What happened to your house, sir? But if you need someplace else to live, you can stay with Gai and me, or in the newborn's Temp Housing.

[Although Bell has the sneaking, depressing feeling he knows what is going on here.]

[stonyfaced]

So there's Temporary Housing instead of inns here. Where would that be?

[grab_my_bells]

[A basic map is drawn and temp housing circled.]

[stonyfaced]

Thanks. What's your name?

[favorthebold]

Off to hide something, capitan?

[stonyfaced]

If I wanted to hide something, I'd have enough sense not to say so where everyone can see me. I just need a place for the night.

Capitan?

[favorthebold]

Surely I haven't mistaken the handwriting. You are Stoneface, captain of the Watch.

[stonyfaced]

[Captain of the Watch... all right, that sounds familiar, but he'll ignore it for now.]

No, you have mistaken the handwriting. My writing might just be a bit similar.

[ice_echani]

There are no such establishments here. But I can find you a place to stay if you need assistance. [taking a guess in the order of "I have a bad feeling about this..."] My name is Brianna, one of the Watch in this place.

[stonyfaced]

None? That's odd. Even the smallest towns have got at least one. Someone above [an arrow to Bell's comment] told me that there's Temporary Housing here instead, so I'll be seeing what that's like.

Thank you for the information, Brianna.

[ice_echani]

Very well. Where are you now? I can draw you a map for directions.

[And head over there to help him out.]

[stonyfaced]

In some sort of park, I think. Loads of trees and grass everywhere, though from the looks of it, that's not exactly uncommon.

[Sky has an oh-shit moment, but he's not sure if Vimes has lost his memories, or...]

... sir? Can you not get into your house?

[stonyfaced]

[A short pause--Sky is the second person to ask him this. Hmm.]

I haven't got one.

[blue_shields]

[A pause as Sky reads over the other replies, realizes what has happened- Bridge is the same way- and can't think of a way to reply.]

[stonyfaced]

[Baww, poor bb :c]

NOOO NOT THE OLD MAN!!

[man_genius]

Not you too.

EVEN THE OLD MAN!

[stonyfaced]

Are you going to explain what you mean by that?

bawl! Back to therapy for him :|

[man_genius]

Er--you've forgotten who you are. Haven't you?

COME TO CALKINS, GENIUS~

[stonyfaced]

How did you know that?
