Right. So this 'christmas' is something from the City, right?

So why hasn't anyone mentioned Hogswatch yet?

[/Voice Post]

[[OoC: Ohgod, I nearly forgot this! Sorry! Assume that this was backdated to an appropriate time for her to have asked this question. But alright guys. *whips out Hogfather* LET'S DO THIS. YEAAAAAAH. And Happy Holidays to all.]

I reckon it's cos no-one knows what it is.

What's Hogswatch?

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
You're not having me on, are you?

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hogswatch. You know, jolly old fat man, distributes sausages to the good little kiddies.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Matter of fact, I don't know, I never heard of it.

[Voice]

[identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Or, I reckon you know what it is. If it's sommat an' you're not just 'avin' ME on.

[long pause] Where are you from?

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2010-12-28 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
No, it exists back on the Disc, it's just-

Well, basically, on Hogswatch night, the Hogfather drives his sleigh pulled by four little pigs throughout the Disc, giving people sausages if they've been good and generally delivering joy and merriment. Unless you've been [a slight pause here, as though it were tough to say these next words] a bad boy.

[Voice]

Pigs? Sausages? [Chris is not sounding very much like he believes this. It's too ridiculous and too close to Father Christmas.] ... An' what happens if you've been bad, then? Coal? Or sommat else related to 'ogs?

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2010-12-28 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
Chicago, Earth. And you?

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Coal? That'd be helpful, though, especially in the cold. Why would that be a bad present? No, you get a bag full of bloodied pigs' bones. [Although, for certain people that was a fun gift, too. Wolfgang always laughed and laughed whenever the bag came for him.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ankh-Morpork, Discworld.

I've never heard of Chicago, but a lot of people seem to be from Earth.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Discworld? Have to admit, I never heard of that.

[Voice]

[identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Euugh. Yeah, well, I dunno about the coal. S'just tradition. You serious about this Hogswatch thing?

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2010-12-30 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
No, most people here haven't. It's quite the change of pace.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I am.

What's Christmas, then, aside from coal?

[Voice]

[identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly the same. Only it's Father Christmas instead of an 'ogfather and 'e flies usin' reindeer, not pigs.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-01-02 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Most things about this place are a change of pace.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-09 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
That does sound pretty similar. Why the reindeer, though?

[Voice]

[identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com 2011-01-09 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
...maybe cos there's loads of 'em up north where 'e lives? I dunno.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-11 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's an understatement.

I don't think we've been introduced properly. I'm Angua.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-11 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that makes sense, then. Where does he live?

Cameron Lynde, nice to meet you.

[Voice]

[identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com 2011-01-11 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The North Pole.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Very nice to meet you, too.

So, you're working with Chief Beckett, right?

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't suppose that I should be surprised that I've never heard of it.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, to come up with a criminal code for this place and for the police force to work with.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a necessary idea. I'd say that it was surprising that no one's done it yet, but from what I've heard it's mostly been police in the City, and we're usually not too good at that sort of thing. Just upholding it.

[Voice]

[identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh....right. Well, it jus' means as far north as y'can get.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I heard there used to be some sort of justice system, but not anymore. If you feel like chiming in at any time with ideas for the code, just let me know.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Right. [What is this north? This is unhelpful. But she'll figure it out; look it up somewhere, so she can at least seem somewhat knowledgeable in case it comes up again.] Thank you.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-12 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well, alright. I suppose I could look it over.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-01-13 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'd appreciate that. You're clearly from a different background than I am and since I don't actually want to just impose my view on crime on the City, I think another opinion can only help.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-14 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, different is for sure.

I'm sure that you wouldn't be looked down on for asking around the rest of the force too, though. Especially as it'll be all of us enforcing it.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-01-14 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
Chief Beckett already mentioned that she'd like to be involved as well. I figure I'll come up with something first and then see what people have to say about it and modify it accordingly.

[Voice]

[identity profile] badhairlifetime.livejournal.com 2011-01-14 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a good plan. Better thought-out than some of the stuff I got back home.

[Voice]

[identity profile] heelsandlaw.livejournal.com 2011-01-14 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad to hear it.
