Riddle 015: Even More Puzzling...

[questionauthority]

[First, a public call, filtered from drones/Grady/Mayor/Postman/etc.]

Riddle me this. When you have it, you'll want to share it, but if you share it, you'll no longer have it.

It's a secret, ladies and gentlemen, and it seems as though the Mailman's incapable of keeping one. I know others have said it before, but come now. Surely we're all smart enough not to victimize one another. Many have their reasons for wanting to return home, but I'm sure others have their reasons for wanting to stay here as well. Strange as that may be.

...though that is rather curious. Why would one decide to stay in a place like Mayfield?

[Then, a private call, filtered to Officer Grady.]

This is Edward Nigma. Are you in, Boss?

[Then, an action, for his housemates and whoever else happens to visit. It looks like Edward's been fortunate enough to get back one of his old outfits in the mail, along with his good ol' cane. Believe it or not, it's actually surprisingly comfy and warm. Almost like long-johns. Feel free to walk in on him and comment on his god-awful fashion sense.]

[There is now laughter. Sorry Eddie....]

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

[This face.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[Laughing...laughing...laughing...]





[Okay she's don-...no wait...

Laughing.]

[Okay. Done, just wiping her eyes.]

Y-you really wore that....?

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

I'm wearing it right now.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

What happened to the suit? [chuckle..]...an...an the hat...?

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

I've still got those. Sometimes, I just feel like changing things up.

...it's a lot warmer than it looks, you know.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

......

Uh, huh...

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

...everyone's a critic.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

That's 'cause it's weird.

Trust me Eddie. Stick with the suit.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

It's not weird. It's light. And it's comfortable.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But why are you wearing it? Do you fight now?

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

I wanted to make sure it still fit right. Considering how things went the last time Mayfield gave us anything, it makes sense to want to give these a bit of a test.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[She was more referring to, when do you ever fight though?]

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

...and if you really want to know, it's a goal of mine to become more skilled as a combatant.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah?

...I could help you, if you want.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

You would?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Sure!

It'e boring practisin' by myself anyway.

[Why yes she does practise Eddie...]

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

I suppose a sparring partner would help things considerably.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Great!

[You're doomed.]

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

[He's already looking forward to all the bruises from her mallet and limping home every afternoon. Except not really.]

Now that I've got my old cane back as well, I can work with that, too. It's the only weapon I've got at my disposal right now. Aside from my intellect, that is.

[Yeah, inflate that ego of yours a bit more, why don't you?]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[It'll be fun!]

Really, that's all still?

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Well, after all that Christmas chaos died down, I lost the car. And the belt.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

What about the credit card?

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

It appears to have vanished as well.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

That stinks.

[Was in no way planning to steal it...]
