Riddle 027: All About the Game (And How You Play It)

May 27, 2011 11:15

[A - Action: 726 Anderson Lane - Morning

Edward Nigma isn't having such a hot morning. After searching his room in frustration for any trace of his familiar emerald suits or his trademark canes, he heads into his study, tearing into a letter he received in the mail this morning. His eyes narrow as he scans through the letter. He's being asked to ( Read more... )

ominous foreboding, class act, identity crisis, all it takes is one bad day, meticulous planning, event: population control

[Guess who's just raising his hand, Eddie.]

[Somehow, Edward isn't at all surprised.]

And you think they're capable of delivering whatever they've promised you?

godisachild May 27 2011, 18:22:55 UTC

Not at all.

But I think they're capable of delivering the penalty they've stated.

puzzlerprince May 27 2011, 18:29:48 UTC

Indeed. They've proven themselves more than eager to punish those of us who refuse to play by their rules.

[Mart's the new kid in class so he needs to make an impression.

Legs on his desk, leaning back and slouching, Mart raises his hand complete with grin.]

puzzlerprince May 27 2011, 18:24:22 UTC

[That's... a face Edward doesn't recognize. He quirks up an eyebrow.]

Your name?

jaws5sonofjaws May 27 2011, 18:30:15 UTC

[Mart just keeps on grinning.]

Name's Mart. Mart Vineyard.

I'm new, but I'm here to kick ass.

And I guess you're the egghead teacher?

Charming.

That would be me. Edward Nigma. The greatest mind Gotham City's ever known!

[Oh joy. Another student who loves to speak their mind. Wonderful.]

I wouldn't be so quick to judge, if I were you. It's to be expected, really. Many of us here have too much at stake to risk punishment.

[There's an uncomfortable twitch of Edward's jaw. A coward? He's a coward?! The Riddler rises from his chair, hands planted on the table.]

And I think you're speaking out of line. Sit down. Now.

[Outside the door to the study, Edward may here the sound of light tapping as if something is trying to draw his attention.]

puzzlerprince May 27 2011, 21:38:07 UTC

[Eddie flinches at the sound, having been wrapped up in reading the rules. Cautiously, he moves to the door, slowly pulling it open.]

strike_you_out May 27 2011, 21:46:40 UTC

[He will find his "son" standing just outside the door, his head held low and a wooden bat at his side that looks brand new.]

...Busy?

puzzlerprince May 27 2011, 21:57:30 UTC

Aren't I always?

[He opens the door wider, though, in order to allow Slugger into the study.]

What is it?

Why? Are you gonna fail us if we don't go around killing little kids?

[WOW she is uncharacteristically pissed off today. That wasn't even good snark!]

puzzlerprince May 27 2011, 21:41:04 UTC

Don't take that tone with me. It's a fair question.

brbgoing2russia May 27 2011, 21:51:35 UTC

How could you think this is right? How could any of you think this is right?

puzzlerprince May 27 2011, 22:11:48 UTC

Don't be naive. More often than not, it isn't a question of whether something is right or wrong. It's a question of survival. Of wanting to survive. You do want to survive, don't you?
