hogfather ch 5 and 6

Ch 5
The wizards make something that sobers up the God of hangovers.
There seems to be a bit of that thing where a thing becomes real because enough people believe in it.  For example,  there's a little elephant 🐘  that eats socks.
There's a thing with the wizards and the computery thing turning dumb and being cured of dumb Ness.
In talking to the computer they discuss how these things people imagined like the God of hangovers and the sock eater seem to be coming into existence because enough people believe in them.
Albert and death have a really real conversation about the meaning of hogsmass.  Albert says it's the winter solstice and a celebration that this is as dark as its gonna get and the suns is  gonna get back to doing an honest days work again.  Death tries to argue something else, but Albert isn't having it.

I'm declaring page 207 is the end of chapter 5 and the beginning of chapter 6

Ch 6
Susan can feel death stop pretending 2 be the hogfather and doing some death business. 
The God of indigestion just drops onto the table Susan's and the God of hangovers are hang8ng out near.
Right before he stopped being a floating consciousness and became a human shaped manifestation the God of hangovers says he had this experience with teeth.  Lots of small teeth.  DEATH of rats knows EXACTLY who this is.  The tooth fairy.
Death finds a dead tooth fairy guard in the snow and sends him to the great beyond. 
Susan goes to igor's bar with the raven and the Death of rats to get intel on the tooth fairy.
There's a neat thing where an old poor man is getting ready to eat his hogswatch beans and potatoes.   The king shows up and offers him awesome leftovers from his table.  The old man isn't interested because he doesn't wanna be beholden to nobody.  His beans may be bad and his potatoes may be a bit mouse bitten, but they're his and he don't owe nobody nothing.  Death shows up and tells the king to fuck right off.  He gives the old an a pigs head.
Susan learns that some of the tooth fairy's 🧚‍♂️ subcontractors have gone missing.  A girl that collected teeth and guy that collected teeth to take them somewhere. She asks the God of hangovers (who is trying beer for the first time.) If he knows how to ride a horse.
