Riddle 015: Even More Puzzling...

[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.]

Some of the guys here died before coming here, right? They might not have a home to go to if they leave.

Not just that, but others might actually think that this town is their home, I guess.

People dying before arriving in Mayfield? That's the first I've heard of any circumstances like that, though I can't say that's too surprising, considering the sort of crowds Mayfield drags in.

I suppose that would literally make this place a sort of Hell, wouldn't it?

Wrong icon, derp.

Hell is one way to describe it, although that doesn't mean we're gonna be trapped in it forever. [And by that, he means trapped under the terror created and enforced by Lucy Smith, the postman and the others]

Oh, of course. There's most certainly a way out.

Hey Eddie! Eddie...





.....what the heck are you wearin'?

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You like it? Granted, the coat is a bit of a newer touch, but I think it suits the overall package nicely.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[.....]





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

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[This face.]

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laughing...laughing...laughing...]





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

Laughing.]

[Okay. Done, just wiping her eyes.]

Y-you really wore that....?

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm wearing it right now.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
What happened to the suit? [chuckle..]...an...an the hat...?

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I've still got those. Sometimes, I just feel like changing things up.

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

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
......

Uh, huh...

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
...everyone's a critic.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That's 'cause it's weird.

Trust me Eddie. Stick with the suit.

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not weird. It's light. And it's comfortable.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. But why are you wearing it? Do you fight now?

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess.

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

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...and if you really want to know, it's a goal of mine to become more skilled as a combatant.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah?

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

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You would?

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure!

It'e boring practisin' by myself anyway.

[Why yes she does practise Eddie...]

[identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose a sparring partner would help things considerably.

[identity profile] crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com 2011-01-07 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Great!

[You're doomed.]
