video; open to action for Hotel Castile residents
This - !
[is an angry wizard, actually, in a lovely little hotel room. A wizard who is only on his second glass of wine. But he seems to be referencing the movie he's waving angrily at his communicator.
It's "The Wizard of Oz".]
- This is terrible! An absolute mockery, is what it is! I've had so many people bringing this up, and I think to watch it for myself, and I find - I find - right, so, the wizard is a fake. Let's address that first of all, shall we? They all go on this big quest to get to the wizard, and he's fake, but how did the people not realize that in the first place, that's what I want to know.
He doesn't even have a pointy hat.
[Rincewind waves a hand.]
It's all a bad message, is what it is! Making wizards look bad! And look, the whole thing about witches being green - I mean honestly, witches are scary enough on their own without all that. That's obviously added. And the flying monkeys -
[he shudders. Never mind, not addressing those. Those were terrifying.]
But I've certainly never heard anything about them melting with a bit of water. Even trained hydrophobes don't do that. Bloody ridiculous.
The whole thing is ridiculous, is what I'm really getting at. We're supposed to believe a scarecrow which can talk and walk about is brainless? Or what about it trying to get everyone to buy that the strange man with ribbons in his hair is "a lion"? And ignoring that whole bit about how this Dorothy person could have just clicked her heels the whole time, enchanted shoes aren't what they're cracked up to be in the first place, the University can tell you. Half of her would have probably been teleported back to Kansas faster than the other half, and that would have certainly been a bloody mess. Very gruesome.
Anyway, it was hideous and I don't understand why so many of you reference it in the first place.
[two thumbs down, says newly self-appointed movie critic Rincewind; only one and a half poorly-sequined stars.]

I tend to walk right through them, usually. [He is a typical ghost when it comes to "fuck using doors." But there's amusement in his tone, he isn't unable to see where Rincewind might not enjoy this sort of ghostly behavior.] Did I frighten you, dear? I certainly didn't intend on that. Old habits die hard, as they say.
[Ha-ha-ha ghost humor always classic]

Rincewind blinks quickly, cycling through a list of emotions before deciding to be offended. What kind of question is that to ask, anyway? Of course March bloody well frightened him, ghosts walking unexpectedly out of people's bathrooms is frightening! (Although perhaps not to the Luggage, which has keyed back into March's presence after snapping up the additional treats.)
He supposes he shouldn't be surprised - all ghosts, in his experience, are bastards on one level or another. Mucking about with people's papers and curtains and things for a laugh, and then not even having a proper jaw to punch, it's just damn rude, is what it is.
But before Rincewind's mind can run off too far with thoughts of delinquent spirits, he reminds himself that March is allowing him to stay here, and in easily the nicest hotel room the wizard has ever been in, to boot. So he only folds his arms in a sour huff and waves the question away, tight shouldered.]
It's fine. Just maybe a warning next time. I mean, I could have been changing.
[...Okay, not likely given his obvious affection for his singular, mistreated set of robes, but that's not the point.]
Anyway, I don't suppose you've seen this movie I've been talking about, have you?
no subject
Rincewind would have to do so much worse than be offended and call March out on his ghostly bullshit to get in trouble.]
I certainly haven't! [He moves to lean against the desk, more offended by the idea of watching movies than he is by anything else so far.] Judging from your reaction, I don't suppose I need to change that any time soon, hm?

...We didn't have any of these where I'm from. [admitted after a moment. He finally takes an uncomfortable seat on the edge of his bed.] I suppose I can see why they're popular, but I think I still greatly prefer books. Even magical, dangerous ones.
[the Luggage takes a moment to give James a friendly bump to the leg as it passes him and disappears into the bathroom. Rincewind calls after it sharply:]
Don't you dare start eating all the privy paper again!
