"Thank you!" Juliet shouted, and ran into the shop. Once the door was closed, she started trying to tell what had happened, but the cold and the excitement of all that had happened was making her almost speechless. "I was kidnapped, Mister Nobbs!" was all she managed to say. Her fingers had started hurting from warming up too quickly.
"Can I have something to eat?" she said, sitting down on an old wooden chair at the back of the shop. She needed to tell someone what had happened quickly, in case the kidnappers came back, but she couldn't do that without at least a bit of chocolate.

Orcakeline got up as fast as she could and took out her tried to hit the madman but missed three times in a row,after ducking intently.
"Ouch!" The dwarf even hit herself while trying to knock out the madman.
"Togo,take der man's crossbow,if you may please!" cried Orcakeline while fighting the madman. When Togo managed to take the crossbow from him,Orcakeline lifted her axe from down the floor and hit the man straight in the face with the part of the axe that was not sharp,meaning the handle.
"Thaaat's more like it!" said the dwarf when she checked the madman was fast asleep.
"Let's go home,Togo,it's been a looong day,eh?"
Orcakeline looked suspiciously at the room they were in and decided.
"We better take this guy with us to the you think you could carry him?And I could take one of the hammers as exhibit A."

"Er.." Togo tried to carry the snoring man while catching up to Orcakeline...it seemed to him no matter how big the weapon a dwarf could carry it like a handbag..."H-how are we going to get out of here?" he said nervously.
They stepped into the cave again...it seemed a bit like a tunnel...
"I suppose we should just follow the tunnel.." said Orcakeline."Follow me Lance Corporal.."
Togo looked down at his uniform...he was covered with mud and he'd lost his glasses, oh, well, he thought, and walked onwards...
It was a long walk through the dark tunnel and once or twice he swore he saw a figure looking at him from the shadows... until they reached the end of the tunnel..
"Er... w-w-wat now then si-ma'am?" he said. There was a ladder going upwards but there didn't seem to be anywere it led to.. Orcakeline grinned.
"Oi think I found a way out Togo." she said, and walked up the ladder and opened the trap door...Togo and the unconcious madman followed her..
Togo squinted as the light reached his eyes... he could hear faint voices...
"the client is dead, samson. Even if he wasnt, he would have no control over you. So why do you insist on trying to find that..thing? ITs part of what ruined us... what the hell! Who the hell are you!"
Togo looked into the faces of the two figures, he tried to smile."Lance Corporal Togo Goibnui, City Watch." and then he passed out...

"Whatchoo mean you was kidnapped?"
Nobby had no idea what to do about a kidnapping; in all his years he'd dealt with sheep-napping, cow tippers and almost any other thing except kidnapping.
Seeing that Juliet was shivering and obviously upset, he looked around for something to start a fire with and a blanket or two.
Rummaging around in his bag he found a slab of chocolate that he had liberated from an oppressive owner. Handing it to the girl, he went about gathering paper...

"People took me. The man said to the girl..." she ate some of the chocolate and thought as hard as she could back to what he had said. "He said that I was related to somebody. I remember my mum and dad said something once about something like that, my mum said it was a joke my granny had told her that the family was related to V-v- whatsisname, the Patrician," Juliet said, a forgetful child at the best of times but with a good memory for overhearing things. "Do you think they'll try to find me? The kidnapping people?" She ate more of the chocolate she had been given, and tried her best not to worry. The word "ransom" came into her head, put in there ages ago by her father's scary stories, and she wondered what exactly her kidnappers had been planning to do with her.

Runt ran through the streets whining...his hair singed and he was limping...whatever those little blue horrors were...he didn't want to know about it...he didn't want to be THEIR Hogswatch feast...
He'd witnessed a while a go the skinny kid with the broken glasses , along with a dwarf chasing someone...the dwarf had tripped up on Runt..as if anyone'd care..Runt thought to himself miserably ...along the way he'd also seen a small human waiting outside a house in the snow- never mind, he thought...right now what he could do with is a few shared Hogswatch scraps with gaspode and the canting crew under the Brass Bridge...

Runt stalked through the alleyways carefully watching the scenery in case a blue demon popped up and carried him away again... Until he came to the brass bridge...There sat The Duck Man, Coffin Henry, Arnold Sideways and Gaspode lazily lying on his stomach...Foule Old Ron didn't seem to be around.. Runt trotted down.
"Gaspode!"yelled Runt looked up,
"Oh, there you are kid." said Gaspode."Were've you been? you look like hell, kid!"
"Oh, Gaspode." wailed Runt."I was carried off by little Blue Men for their supper! I only just managed to get away with a few scars and a limp!" "Er...well." Gaspode wasn't sure how to react to news like this."That's too bad, kid...want some turkey? It's nearly fresh.' Runt whined and limped over to look at the turkey..it was small and had very little meat on it, but you don't refuse a free meal...
"We were just about to go and sing in the square werent we Duck man?" said Gaspode.
"Oh my, yes." said The Duck Man happily, he seemed to be the only slightly sane human in the canting crew, apart from the fact he had a duck on his head, he seemed to be quite normal.
"We'd better get going then to catch Old Ron.." said Gaspode as they walked away...

Jenny waited and it wasnt long before she could see the grass bending here and there. She knew that the feegles were weary of humans so she would have to play on a different angle.
"I know you can hear me, the punch is yours if you will answer my questions.
No writting will take place I promise but (now what had that witch said... oh yeah) if you dont at least speak to me there will be a Reckoning!"
Jenny waited, the feegles were making up their minds she could hear them!

The old metal box was heavier than he remembered. It had been a while...
Lemsip rubbed some of the rust off the key and slid it into the keyhole in the front of the box. It clicked surprisingly easily and he opened the lid. Inside it was black. Infact it was TOO black; like someone had filled the box full of shadows. He reached in and pulled out the black velvet suit, unfolded it, smoothing out the creases. At the bottom of the box was a folded black velvet pouch.
Lemsip picked the pouch up and pulled on the ribbon, let the pouch unfold down onto the bed. The set of throwing knives were complete and still sharp by the look of it.
The suit still fitted well. Three of the pouches on the belt were still full; the poison darts would long be out of date, he knew that, but the zip wire would come in useful. There was still something right at the bottom of the box. It was the cape. Most assassins regarded the cape as more of a hinder than a help, but for Lemsip, it just kind of added to the 'romance'. Ha, romance, that was an odd concept. He remembered romance. Vaguely.
The cape unfurled with a slight 'clink' - his thin dagger was still tucked away in the lining. Good, he forgotten about that. He stood there, complete for a brief moment. It had been 18 years. 18 years since he'd closed that box for what he thought was the final time. 18 years since he'd worn the black velvet. 18 years since he last felt his scalp itch under the black hood.
He didn't think he'd have to do this again, but, well needs must. He couldn't just stand back and watch it happen, not on HIS turf, not when the Watch were going to fail so miserably.
He turned and headed toward the door, his cape twirling in an impressive manner, paused, turned around again and headed towards the bathroom. 'Damn Bladder'. he thought.

Togo woke up, he blinked as the memories unfolded in front of him...so they chased the madman...fell through the thin crust that was a trap door...discovered the man's secret layer...knocked him out...and found another trap door leading up...then...he'd past out wen he reached the light..there was a rather grey man and a stern looking woman in a small room...were was Orcakeline?
He was lying in a strange room..it smelled of old books and dust, and there were strange jars lined up on the walls...filled with ears with legs and blinking eyes and other unspeakable horrors... he got up and stared right into the face of a strange looking man with a mass of stiches and a deformed haircut..
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" "Ah, thath more like it." the figure said cheerfully...his ears were in the wrong places and his eyes were so crossed you'd swear he was looking behind him."The other watthman Rookie we got didn't tho much ath thream in horror." he turnd around and started rummaging through a suspicious looking chest."You got Nothing drastic, jutht a bang to the head...it wath mostly nerveth..Corporal Orcakeline ith having her half day...it'th hogthwatch after all. I'm Igor by the way."
"I never would have guessed." said Togo warily."soo, does that mean I get a half day then?" "Thure." said Igor."Motht of them ave gone off for the day"
"Oh, good." Togo said relieved."I'll be off then." he walked out of the dreary cellar and into the fresh-ish air...the snow was allready going a bit yellow, now to find Merrylan...

"Wait a sec... you're related to Vetinari?"
Nobby thought about this; some kids ran away from home, then made up wild stories about it all when they decided to come back...but this wasn't like that.
"First thing we need to do is get you home. After that, I'll go tell ol' Vimes and he'll put out an extra guard at your-"
Nope. That ain't gonna work, though Nobby. Officially, I'm off the books - and Fred told me to keep my head down.
"Well, at least I can get you home. Warm up a bit first next to the fire and then we'll head out."

Togo limped through the snow filled streets, he was still very dirty and he needed some new glasses, occasionally he'd bump into someone on accident, this had caused him a broken nose as well...
Togo walked up through Mrs Cake's door and up into Merrylan's room... first things first he needed a nice hot bath and then he could open his Hogswatch presents. He opened the door..
"Happy Hogzvatch Coussin Togo!" bellowed Merrylan happily moving towards Togo and stopping for the sake of his newly washed jacket."How comme h'you alwayss manaje to get head to toess in mud? Have a bath and then ve can go for Hogzvatch dihnner, yess?"
Togo nodded.
Togo underessed and lay in the nice warm slightly old bath in Mrs Cake newly installed...bate-room I think it was, thought Togo, back in Lancre everyone just went out in the back shed and..well... this was a new and rather pleasant experience, bathing... after a while Togo got out of the bath, changed and went back into Merrylan's room, he hadn't noticed it before, but Merrylan had actually tried to make the room look "JOLLY" there were bat cut outs across the walls and he had stuck rather gloomy Hogswatch ornaments across the room...at least he'd tried..
Togo and Merrylan walked out of Mrs Cakes. Togos presents had included a stylish black ring (Merrylan, obviously), a small wooden carving of a fox by his parents wich he'd carried with him when he left Lancre , and a new pair of glasses from Orcakeline...they didn't have any cracks or anything! he had changed his clothes, washed his face, combed his hair as much as he could and wore his shiny new glasses proudly out on the streets. He'd given Orcakeline a surprise present and the best he could do was hope she liked it...

Lilah had a sword in her hand within moments of the trap door in her floor being opened, but lowered it when the intruder announced themselves as a member of the watch, then passed out. THere were two others with the Lance Corporal, and only one was now concious.
"Orcakeline?" Lilah asked, incredulous. "Of all the dwarves...how have you been?" She grinned, then picked up the unconcious Lance Corporal.
"Best we get these two to the Watch house then" she sighed, the excitement of seeing an old friend dissapearing as quickly as it showed up.

Video games dont affect kids. I mean, if Pacman affected us as kids we'd all be running around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to repetitive music...

Lost in conversation, Togo and Merrylan walked along the snowy cobbles, when suddenly Togo noticed something ahead, or rather, he noticed nothing; there was a dark shadow in a doorway just infront that seemed a little too dark. Togo hesitated, not knowing wether he should quicken his pace or slow down. He took too long to decide however; the shadow blurred and a silver streak flew out of the shadow, missing Togo's ear my millimeters. Togo froze in horror and was mildly aware of the sound of a heavy person dropping to the ground behind him followed by the clatter of a recently discarded knife.
"well what are you waiting for?" said the shadow. "lets go!"
