Riddle 026: Raining on Prom Night

May 06, 2011 16:55

[A: 726 Anderson Lane - BACKDATED TO THE DAY AFTER PROM.

Riddle me this: Who's as green as his suit and just woke up with the worst hangover ever? Answer: Edward Nigma, of course. Family members and unexpected visitors will find the Riddler downstairs at the breakfast table, dressed in a green bathrobe, half-heartedly fumbling with his daily ( Read more... )

post-event trauma, listening to himself talk, awkward turtles, family matters, investigations, class act, all it takes is one bad day, meticulous planning, backdated, hunting for clues

[Popping up behind you.]

Whatcha' doin?

puzzlerprince May 7 2011, 04:17:03 UTC

[Oh hey Harley.]

Being productive for a change. I've been slacking.

crazyclownwoman May 8 2011, 01:08:57 UTC

Yeah? Find anything?

puzzlerprince May 8 2011, 02:52:13 UTC

Not yet. But I'm far from finished, believe me.

[Lex walks up to Edward.]

Still trying to solve the riddle that is Mayfield?

puzzlerprince May 7 2011, 04:19:41 UTC

[A condescending smirk.]

You don't have to be the smartest man in the world to see that, Lex.

greatestmanll40 May 7 2011, 05:13:06 UTC

Of course.

And I don' suppose you'd be willing to share your findings so far?

puzzlerprince May 8 2011, 01:02:46 UTC

I would, if I had anything to share.

You're taking notes, too? Tell me there's not some new clue hanging around that I've overlooked; Mayfield can't have dulled me this quickly.

puzzlerprince May 7 2011, 04:22:44 UTC

[Edward nods, flipping through his notepad.]

So far, nothing out of the ordinary.

buildstherobots May 7 2011, 05:09:53 UTC

Yeah, the Major was doing the same. Is there reason to think there would be something different?

puzzlerprince May 8 2011, 01:01:25 UTC

[So, the Major's up to an investigation as well? ...that furthers his resolve a little bit.]

You never know with this town.

Ah. The sight every woman wants to wake up to see.

A beautiful morning, Edward, isn't it?

[Susan will lightly sweep towards the windows and draw the curtains wide to let the lovely morning sunshine in.]

puzzlerprince May 7 2011, 04:09:40 UTC

[THE LIGHT. IT BURNS.

Edward shields his eyes with his hands, hissing in irritation.]

deaths_heritor May 7 2011, 04:12:53 UTC

And shall we brighten up the house with some rousing music?

[Susan will head for the radio.]

puzzlerprince May 7 2011, 04:15:17 UTC

[Damn it Susan, are you trying to kill him? He raises a hand to try and stop her.]

No! [A beat, then softer.] No, no. That---that won't be necessary.

[Bruce is making his usual rounds, clipboard in hand. He's scrawling something with a fountain pen, when he just so happens to look up.

Oh. And now his eyebrow is trying to meet his hairline.]

Nigma?

. . . Is there something you need?

puzzlerprince May 7 2011, 06:05:54 UTC

[That's a voice that the Riddler isn't expecting to hear. He gives Batman an appraising look. A bit of confusion.]

...you work here?

beyondthecowl May 7 2011, 06:16:08 UTC

[Bruce shrugs.]

Don't be so alarmed. My father was a surgeon. Now, is there a particular reason for your visit? Few people come here for the breathtaking scenery . . .

glowing_science May 8 2011, 01:28:04 UTC

[Unless that breathtaking scenery is a certain brunette?

Ema comes up behind Bruce and taps him on the shoulder.]

Mr. Wayne, can you sign a few things for me? It won't take...

[She notices who he's talking to and stiffens slightly. She's at work, so she needs to stay professional. Even so, her tone is chilled at best.]

Do you have an appointment with someone? If not, the ER's back that way.
