What has two legs, flies, never tells a lie, can swim but can not touch water, and is found only in the dark?

Give up?











There's no answer to it. That riddle was nothing but a waste of your time, just like you making this pitiful attempt at "playing" me is a waste of mine. Leave being a genius to the real geniuses.

[Amaterasu knows the answer.

But she's not going to tell.]

[unriddle]

[ That's cool, he'd insist that she's wrong anyway. ]

[resolvere]

[Of course he would.

Mother knows all about him, he cannot surprise her.]

[unriddle]

[ Best be careful - that sounds like a challenge. ]

[resolvere]

[She didn't say anything, though.

Like that wolf could possibly look challenging. Just a regular white wolf, nothing abnormal here.

Though she is looking at his mask very closely. Green is a wonderful color.]

[unriddle]

[ Yes, well he's had some bad experience with animals in the past so don't mind that he's backing up a little. ]

A lone wolf - literally, at that. Why is it here...?

[resolvere]

[She'll sit, fluffy tail moving to wrap around her front paws as those focused eyes move from his mask to his suit.

Lots of green. Her Celestial Envoy was a fan of green.

And then she tilts her head and makes a sound. It's almost like she's saying: why are you here?]

[unriddle]

[ Really, there's no way for him to possibly know what this wolf is asking him. Animals make sounds all the time - not really his area of expertise.

But somehow he manages to respond appropriately. Maybe it's a lucky guess? Or maybe asking his own question just inspired him to reflect it upon himself. That's a riddle for you to figure out. ]

Why am I here? I suppose in the end the answer is the same as usual - seeking answers! In the end isn't that what we're all doing, really?

It seems I've answered my inquiry without your help. Not surprising.

[noncompulsatory]

Hah. Great minds think alike.

[unriddle]

Hmm! What's dumb, deaf, and blind, but always tells the truth?

A mirror, and it feels like I'm looking into one.

[noncompulsatory]

A bit unnerving, isn't it? But not an unwelcome sight.

[unriddle]

Quite the contrary - I shudder to think of what could be accomplished with not just one, but two Edward Enigmas.

[noncompulsatory]

Oh, but of course that, too. Two is better than one, after all.

[unriddle]

Except when there are two victims instead of one, anyway.

[noncompulsatory]

But it can be a bit more of a challenge that way. God knows I appreciate that after weeks of investigating which housewife's playing bedroom bingo.

[unriddle]

Too true! These things are always a matter of perspective, in the end. For instance, sometimes more victims means more clues left behind, which actually makes a case easier to crack.

[purrfectcrime]

A bit high-handed, even for you, Eddie.

[unriddle]

Yes, after a bit of reflection with... well, my reflection, I've decided to give the kid a shot.

Not that I care much for your criticism.

[purrfectcrime]

A shot or a chance to spout your hubris?


And you say that as if it's stopped me before.

[unriddle]

Hubris would imply that I think more of myself than I actually am. I prefer confidence, thank you, because I can back up my boasts with brilliance.

[purrfectcrime]

Whereas modesty has never been your forte.

[unriddle]

Given the way you dress, I'm not sure you're in a place to lecture others on modesty.

[purrfectcrime]

So you have been looking. Don't flatter a girl too much, Eddie.

What next? Sharing of trade secrets?

[batmobilethief]

Ah, come now! It's no fun if you don't let people at least try to answer. Heeheeheeheehahahaha!

[What turns everything around, but does not move?

Though this Riddler seems quite... giggly and excitable, for a mirror image. Perhaps he's more of a looking-glass sort of fellow than an exact mirror image...]

[unriddle]

[ Ah. Isn't this a trip down memory lane. ]

It seems this is the day of the doppelganger. I hope this isn't an omen.
