I'm rereading Thud, and I've just got to the point where Chrysoprase and Vimes are having a meeting. When Vimes tells Chrysoprase Carrot is investigating the Grag Hamcrusher murder case, which Chrysoprase just assured Vimes definitely wasn’t a troll, and asked him to investigate personally, Chrysoprase first asks him to reconsider. Vimes refuses. Then Chrysoprase asks if Vimes trusts Carrot, and Vimes says yes. Then Chrysoprase says:
"Okay. He shiny. He a thinker."
And for the first time that word jumped out at me. Shiny. Diamond King of Trolls is going by the pseudonym Mister Shine at the moment, and the slogan "Mister Shine - him diamond", is popping up in Ankh-Morpork graffiti, literally the writing on the wall. The connection is so striking Vimes jumps straight to it. He doesn’t ask Chrysoprase what he means, he asks who Mister Shine is, because at this point he doesn’t know.
But. Troll kings are diamond, and we know from Thunderbolt the lawyer, who also has some diamond to him, (I wonder if he was ever in line for the throne?) that having any diamond in you means you can't lie. It makes you truthful and it makes you royal. It also makes you highly conspicuous. Diamond King of Trolls goes about wrapped in a cloak, and he is called by the use-name Mister Shine.
And what does Chrysoprase - a well-informed and intelligent gang boss - call Carrot, a hidden royal heir who hasn’t taken up his crown, and who uses the truth as a shield and a sword? Shiny. Chrysoprase calls him shiny. It's a compliment I can't remember anyone else in Discworld getting or giving.
While we wait for a second printing of my book, here's a new comic l've been working on in between other projects that I finally finished. This is actually my longest comic ever, at just under 40 pages. 😵💫 I'll be sharing more parts of it this week but of course you can read the whole thing early for just a buck! Here!
So I'm playing in a text only but scheduled Exalted game on Sundays and tonight we learned that not a single one of the players put any points in Larceny. As the Dawn caste Solar I'm already built into my specialties pretty well (Resistance Supernal and a focus on melee charms, while other folks are more social focused or leaning into sorcery so it's looking like I'll be expanding into the 'stealthy one' niche so we're covered on that front.
That's all well and good.
There's one small problem, in that my character is a nine foot tall giant in heavy artifact armor so he's the last person you expect to be good at stealth.
Fortunately, Solar Larceny is really good at making people go "Oh, him? I mean, he might have been there? Really, it could have been any nine foot tall guy, I can't be expected to remember his face when it's way up there?"
