It's getting so's you can't have an adventure in this town without a Barber sticking her nose in.

This is the part in a discworld story where we'd establish the characterisation of the good copper there.
Yay O'Malley!
===============
Hey - they're cute noses.
Every group should have its own Barber.
Well she's well named, seeing as how she's about to (metaphorically at least) scalp Fairbairn.
This is wonderful. ^^ A classic team of heroes-with-dirty-faces-at-odds! ... I should find a better way to put that.
I believe TV Tropes uses "Ragtag Bunch of Misfits": [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki...](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RagtagBunchOfMisfits "https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RagtagBunchOfMisfits")
She's going to make sure they don't get themselves killed? Hey, relatively speaking, that's quite a step up from wanting to hang Mal at the beginning of this arc!
The perfume causing malforms? CALLED IT.
It's not actually perfume, she just smells of the oil because she's been around it too much :) Got the idea though!
But I DID get the part on it being a spiritual-only scent! at least in part for it only causing wizards to get tired o/ I feel all perspective and stuff! Even if it was before the whole lamplights thing.
You totally did ^_^

Nicola...Vimes? Lord, please don't let there be a dragon about.
Aw, it's kind of cute how Ben goes "~we~ seem to be going". Doesn't even occur to him to let Mal walk into trouble on his own? That's a step up from how he seemed to feel when they were first introduced. ^^
If there's one thing you can say for Ben, it's that he doesn't back down from a challenge, if the challenge has been properly submitted through formal channels and signed for in triplicate.
Buried in soft peat for three months..
...and recycled as firelighters...
Just looked at this again, and Captain Barber's final speech sounds as if there's an unspoken "unfortunately" on the end of it...
💜💜💜 i am very aware of him! 💜💜💜
I was wondering if you would bring him up for this week! Love it!
<3 thank you <3
I don't remember seeing him look so unguarded before. I love how he's just gently fingering the grass. Enjoy your time to rest and wander, dear runaway witch!
Can we make him our mascot?
Keep it! Don't remove it!
i remove filler from the archive just so it doesn't break the story flow, but it'll remain on tumblr here!

💜♠️💜♠️ thank you for blessing us with this wonderful character
If anyone wants more Widdershins aceness, by my count 11/77 of the fics on Ao3 involve asexuality in some way 😊💜 https://archiveofourown.org.../works "https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Widdershins%20(Webcomic)/works")
Sweet I'll check some of those out!
Hope that's Mal chilling with an invisible (to us) PHOH there!
They're not invisible; they're camouflaged.
Thank you. And I hope you're having a great time at the con.
I think Mal would prefer as few people were aware of him as possible.
Not that he wouldn't appreciate awareness of asexuality in general. He just would rather not be the visibility personally.
Ace representation FTW! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
