Riddle 013: Spreading That Christmas Cheer [Action]

[questionauthority]

[Christmas Time is coming! Today, you'll probably find Edward in one of three locations.

A. At the Christmas Village, dressed in his little "Helper Elf" costume and freezing furiously. He does not look at all happy to be there.

B. Wandering through the town, dressed in a warm, green pea-coat, a jade scarf wrapped around his neck, just admiring the winter scenery.

C. Back at home, meticulously setting something up on the dining room table. Once he's finished, he'll call upstairs.]

Slugger? Susan? I'd like it if you could come to the dining room, please. ...Susan, you're free to call upon your Grandfather, too, if you like.

[Edward can sort of relate, constantly being shown up by a "superior" genius.]

And who was the biggest hero?

"There were a few of them. Captain America was one of the big ones though. Lead the best of the best super heroes out there.

Silver Surfer cheats, he's some alien force that can wipe out planets or something...

Captain Universe is pretty powerful too."

[[That last one soured his mood.]]

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

...with a name like "Captain Universe," I'd imagine so.

"Yeah.

So, it's not like they got the best we had to offer to try and take down this town. ☠☠☠☠, even if we had half of Nextwave this town would be in trouble."

[If they had their powers and this town didn't cheat reality that is...]

Sadly, my friends and I don't have much in the way of superpowers. If Pamela were still with us, perhaps she could grow some kind of a magic beanstalk we could climb out of. Heh.

[And as much as he'd hate to admit it:]

...if Batman were here, I'm sure he'd find a way out.

"Don't be like that. He doesn't have his money and reality doesn't work here. He'd be just as ☠☠☠☠ as the rest of us."

It would still be no problem for the "World's Greatest Detective."

[He chuckles, bitterly.]

"You know, you're almost as down on yourself as me."

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

[Oh god, he is, but he's not going to want to say that.]

...me? At the same level as you?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

"No, you're an egg head and I actually win fights."

"Happy?"

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

...filled with Christmas cheer.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

"Good."
