Im deth. Currently working on a bot in C++. I learned basics of socket but hadn't dont anything serious and then i started seeing all these bots so i decided to write one of my own as a way of learning more about sockets and keeping myself in shape with C++.

Hi.

        GOOD EVENING.
       'Oh . . . you again.'
       ANOTHER CHOICE, ESMERELDA WEATHERWAX.
       'Light and dark? It's never as simple as that, you know, even for you.'
       Death sighed. NOT EVEN FOR ME.
       Granny tried to line up her thoughts.
       Which light and which dark? She hadn't been prepared for this. This didn't feel right. This wasn't the fight she had expected. Whose
       light? Whose mind was this?
       Silly question. She was always her.
       Never lose your grip on that . . .
       So . . . light behind her, darkness in front . . .
       She'd always said witches stood between the light and the dark.
       'Am I dyin'?'
       YES.
       'Will I die?'
       YES.
       Granny thought this over.
       'But from your point of view, everyone is dying and everyone will die, right?'
       YES.
       'So you aren't actually bein' a lot of help, strictly speakin'.'
       I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU WANTED THE TRUTH. PERHAPS YOU WERE EXPECTING JELLY AND ICE CREAM?
       'Hah. . .

Partial credit -- any idea which book?  Hint: it's the one where Magrat has a baby.

Wyrd sisters perhaps?

It's been awhile though, so I don't remember for sure.

hmm, im not much of a reader; i wouldn't know.

It's actually Carpe Jugulum.  It's a pretty good one, I think it's the only one where Granny is (seems) powerless to stop what's happening.  It's mostly up to Nanny, Magrat, and Agnes (and Perdita).
