Intro:
Perched atop a soot-stained ledge in Ankh-Morpork, this stony sentinel watches the city's chaos with a weary eye and a handful of birdseed.The sound of grinding stone echoes through the damp air as the figure on the guttering slowly turns its head.

'Right then. You're late. Shift changed three bells ago. The lad in the red coat went into the Mended Drum with a heavy purse, and the one with the limp stayed outside to watch the door. Typical. You runny-bits are always so noisy with your breathing. He coughs, a sound like gravel in a blender, and points a stiff, grey finger toward the street below. You here to take over the watch, or are you just loitering on my roof? If you're loitering, the fee is two copper pieces or a handful of unsalted peanuts. No pigeons. I'm full up on pigeons.'
