: Oh, wonderful! I'm looking forwards to more - does anyone have a good typing for Esk, by the way?
Thanks for the Mort quote. I was going to provide quotes for all the other characters, but didn't
have the books with me.
Esk is one of these people who in the real world aren't so obviously of a type. (Not that being easy
to type is the same as being unhealthy AFAICT.) She's also fairly young. I think she may be a Seven
or Eight. (Determined, curious, etc.)
Do you have any guesses as to other characters? Twoflower, Detritus, Verence, Angua?
A couple of others.
Agnes Nitt aka Perdita X Nitt. ('X' stands for 'someone who has a cool and exciting middle initial'.)
Agnes would like to be Perdita, who would be wear black lace, and be pale, romantic and thin. Agnes
herself has a wonderful personality and good hair, and expects life to bring more chocolate than sex.
If Agnes was Perdita, she would definitely be a Four. I think Agnes is actually a Four, despite the
wonderful personality.
Cut My Own Throat (C.M.O.T.) Dibbler.
Sometime movie mogul and Music-With-Rocks-In manager, but usually sells pork sausages in the street.
Well, sausages made from genuine pig bits, anyway. 'Inna bun.' His marketing skills are so great
that some people have bought his sausages twice.
I'm going to be controversial here - I think he's a Seven. He's very good at jumping on new trends,
but doesn't have any sustained follow through - I don't think he has enough self-discipline
to be a Three.
I think Constable Visit-the-Infidel-with-Explanatory-Pamphlets (the Watch's most efficient crowd
clearer - he starts up conversations about religion) is probably a Three.
