A/N: Ach. Due to extreme ickiness, homework, tests, sicknesses, and such-like, not only is this chapter late, it's also SHORT. Many apologies; I like short chapters less than anybody. *weep*
Chapter 9 (woo!)
Shit. Shitshitshit. Susan pulled her hands away from the table as though it burned, which it just so happened to be doing. Bad thing.
Her hair was red. No. It wasn't supposed to be red. She felt as though someone else had taken over her life and she was just watching from the shadows, like a usurped king on the borders, waiting, always waiting.
It was not a nice feeling.
Susan staggered backwards, catching her heels on Io's arm and landing on something squishy. It turned out to be one of his eyes. This was really really disgusting.
"Ouch," mumbled Io, twitching.
Susan stared at him. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, no way out. They would wake up and do something horrificly GODLY to her just for being there, sitting on Io's eye.
Who did they think they were, anyway? Gods?
The Lady clenched her skirt tightly, willing it white and long and holy. Blast. Nothing was going according to plan. She had to be the Lady again. No more Susan.
"Bugger all this for a lark," the Dean griped, crossing his arms over his expansive torso and shooting self-righteous glances around the room.
"Shut up, you daft old fool," Granny said absentmindedly. The Dean looked affronted.
Death glowered patiently in the corner. He was used to being patient. Sometimes you had to wait. A lot of times.
Oh, drat.
Rincewind stared hopelessly at the granite ham sandwich. It wasn't changing.
The Luggage made some noise in the bushes. Probably killing something. A rabbit, maybe.
Rincewind brightened up.
