Just in case any Discworld fans are reading
this thread and wondering what the Hells is going on:
I made the decision on signing up here that Esk was going to be representative of a certain time on the
Discworld Timeline. I know that site isn't entirely accurate, as Discworld history is constantly plagued by the presence of those damn monks, but basically, Lancre is currently travelling through time, thanks to a certain three women.
It wasn't going to be an issue until Esk started remoniscing yesterday and realised that she hadn't heard from home for ten years. Which is a classic example of a pup getting out of the mun's control. She hadn't noticed earlier because of the nature of the witches' spell, which I imagine generates a sort of SEP field around the situation, which is negated by her presence in Milliways, or something.
So, yeah.
That's what's going on.
And if anyone who's familiar with the situation and wade in with any ideas, feel free to comment here or ping me later this evening on innerbrat (Y!/MSN[hotmail]) or lycanthrofaerie (AIM)
--edit--
The conversations Esk has had in that thread have very much helped me figure out how she's going to resolve this, at least sort of. Thanks, guys.
