Summary
“For some reason I can very easily picture Vantas and an animate natomy talking amongst themselves. Possibly even about harvesting implements.” You sigh and give her a hug before setting her gently on her feet. “I have to see Eridan, kitten. Will you let Vantas know I want a word with him in the morning?”

Summary
“Thin places?” you ask. You wish not for the first time that somebody else could’ve been the Maid of Time, this is not your greatest love. Your greatest love is archaeology, or perhaps more accurately tomb-raiding, dammit.
“Er, yes, you could phrase it like that. They correspond with particularly magical or spiritual locations, a lot of the thin places are up in the Ramtops, that’s lousy with magic. The University sits right on top of another one, but we aren’t sure--even now we aren’t sure--whether the founders built it on a hotspot of magical potential or if it became one because of all the....”

Summary
Narrative causality is one of the most powerful forces governing reality on the Disc. The others are gravity, the strong and weak thaumic forces, and whichever of the Fate/Lady duo is currently on top; all of these are trumped by the sheer force of narrative causality swinging into play when a situation arises that invokes it with sufficient clarity. Murphy’s Law dictates that anything which can go wrong will go wrong, but on the Disc this is rewritten to state “anything which can go wrong in such a way as to fulfill the dictates of narrative convention is absolutely guaranteed to do so and, if prevented from going wrong, creates a paradox loop in the fabric of reality which will inevitably destabilize matters to the point of forcing the original thing to go wrong anyway, so you might as well just run with it.”

Summary
The damn wizards couldn’t wiz fast enough, if you asked him. Whatever Vetinari thought, having a bunch of twelve aliens, some of whom were on mental par with Foul Ole Ron and his buddies, running around the city was making Vimes’ life more difficult than it really strictly needed to be. Today’s clusterfracas was just one aspect of the situation.
For one thing, he’d heard that Mr. Nutt was making overtures toward the biggest of the...what, visitors? Aliens? Alternians would have to do...to join the University’s football team. Vimes was pretty sure that would void about a hundred different University traditions and possibly cause people to turn into things, except of course Nutt himself was an orc, but that was different, at least he was one of their monsters instead of a monster from some other universe. Even if they could invent a football Zahhak could kick without disintegrating it.
