[ well this is new. there is no face to go with the name 'Jamie Moriarty' but there is certainly a name attached to this little greeting. ]

Good afternoon, Asgard.

This introduction is overdue and I fear I can do nothing about that fact aside of asking for your forgiveness. I trust you will all understand how busy and demanding times in this city can be.

I hear you are not overly fond of riddles which I do not find odd. What is Asgard if not a complex riddle? But I would greatly appreciate if you consider this one. I trust those who would solve it shall find themselves with an interesting subject to discuss.

Boy-Jamie or Girl-Jamie?

[Whale, that is not what you should take away from this...]

[considered]

[ whale why. ]

I must wonder if it is important, for the sake of the riddle?

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

Yeah, I'm not solving that riddle.

text;

[considered]

Because you cannot. You almost make it sound like a choice when in fact, it isn't; isn't it?

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

Look, I can spend precious time and hours wasting over that riddle in an attempt to solve it, or I can just cut straight to the chase and ask you what I want to know most: Boy-Jamie or Girl-Jamie.

[considered]

Why. Would it be less shameful to have been beat in a game by a woman more so than a man?

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

Of course not. It's just that I'd prefer to take the woman out to dinner.

[ oh no, whale no, why are you tangling yourself in? she considers it, though the urge to both laugh and strike is very existent. but then there is the need of a game. it has been so very long that she had one, after all. ]

And why would she say yes to someone who cannot even solve a simple riddle?

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

[LOOK, HE'S ALREADY FLIRTED WITH THE OTHER IRENE ADLER why not unintentionally make it two for two.]

I've got plenty of other talents that aren't riddle solving.

text;

[considered]

[ THIS ONE IS SO MUCH WORSE THO WHALE. ]

But what would be her condition, alas. Solve the riddle and perhaps she'll indulge.

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

Can I at least have a hint?

text;

[considered]

If you must.

the answer is a word not a number.

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

[long, long pause]

A...hymn?

text;

[considered]

Wrong. But not entirely off-track.

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

A poem then. Or, just a song in general.

text;

[considered]

do not remove the 'educated' out of the 'educated guess' option. a song and a poem are two different things.

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

Some poems are songs, though. [a pause.] Sticking with poem.

text;

[considered]

Not entirely wrong but then again, not entirely right.

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

Some kind of poem, then.

text;

[considered]

You will receive your answer, the moment I will receive a correct answer of my own. Consider it a lesson in literature.

:)

[ex_galvanist88]

[dammit Jamie, he doesn't know anything about poetry. he knows it's not a haiku, it's not a limerick, so what else is there...]

A...sonnet?

[he is straight guessing and it shows.]

text;

[considered]

Ah. Then there is a spark, still.

[ aka, right you are. ]

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

So, Boy-Jamie or Girl-Jamie?

text;

[considered]

You would have to take a risk and find out on your own. Tonight. The lake at geifon park.

voice;

[ex_galvanist88]

See you then.
