~ Horrible Gremlin Geralt Chronicles ~
- This Is Why People Hate Witchers: Walking Right Into Houses, Stealing Everything -
"That witcher," an old man says, shaking his fist. "He walked right into my house. I heard him banging around in there. 'Why are there so many broken rakes in this house?' I heard him say to himself. 'Who needs this many broken rakes?' And then he comes out, and you know what he's got? All of my rakes! All five of them!"
"Calm down, grandpa," says a much younger man. "Weren't they all broken anyway?"
The old man continues ranting as if he hadn't heard his grandson.
"What's a witcher going to do with all my rakes, anyway? Probably couldn't get more than a few crowns each for them if he was going to sell them. And it's not like I could have done anything to stop him. He probably would have killed me if I tried. And the guards don't care what happens inside our houses. If they didn't see him stealing anything, then they don't care."

A/N: As you may have noticed, there are three different types of chapter headings - one for each point of view: Geralt writing about his adventures in his diary, guards' running commentary on what they see him doing, and civilians complaining about things Geralt has done after he's gone.
