It was her turn again. Trying not to let the Cat's subtle jabs get to her, Ace remembered an old one from a math class of hers.
"How many sides are there to a circle?"
"Two. Inside and outside," came the answer, and Ace couldn't help but groan in frustration as she awaited the Cat's next riddle.

It wasn't who he'd been hoping to see, but Robert still felt a sense of relief at seeing another of the familiar characters from the book when it appeared above the tree. It wanted to tell him a riddle, and he knew he was horrible at riddles, but he was supposed to be wonderful at them. So, of course, with a sense of dread that he hid well beneath that grinning facade, Robert listened to the riddle the cat gave him.
"What is flat but sharp at the edges?"
"Flat, but sharp? That just sounds like a sword. But it can't be that easy." Could it?
"The answer is a knife, for a blade is best flat, and of course sharp at the edges. Quite a simple question this one, it's almost not a riddle at all."
Close enough.

"A blade," Ace said without thinking, and immediately regretted it when the Cat grinned smugly at her. "Err, I mean--"
"The answer is death," announced the cat, "But I'm sure you don't need me to explain that one."
"...Right." She wasn't going to question him. She could be here all day.

This time, Ace paused for more than a few minutes, trying to think back through all the riddles she had ever possibly heard.
Finally, she thought back to one that her mother had told her once. It was more of a joke than anything, but she had a feeling the Cat knew all the conventional riddles. "How does the man in the moon cut his hair?"
The cat paused. Ace waited. The Cat guessed, and was wrong. "Eclipses it!" Ace crowed, pumping her fist up towards the sky.
"A surprising twist, but I love surprises. You are quite the..." The Cat cleared its throat, "Clever one, and for that, you deserve a small prize. Just this time, of course, just once."

He'd gotten it right! He had no idea riddles could be so easy. So it was his turn, and he decided if it was this easy, he could surely think of one.
"Uhm, okay." But all he could think about was the riddle he'd just been told.. flat.. sharp.. flat.. sharp..
"OHSHIT, okay. I got one! I can be flat too, or sharp, but I have no edges at all. What am I!"
He was just so proud of himself.. until the Cheshire Cat guessed it immediately. A music note, of course. Still, he felt a little clever.

"What turns around and around and around but quite rather slowly?"
The Cheshire cat had him stumped. There were too many things that turned around slowly. He had to choose one.. and he knew he'd be wrong.
"A Merry go Round turns slowly, is that it?"
But it wasn't.
"The answer is a time, it is eternally slow, though to those transient perhaps too fast.

And so it was Robert's turn to think of another riddle. The Cheshire Cat couldn't have possibly known how hard it was for Robert to think of anything.. and it was going to be a neverending struggle if he had to think of one that the cat would not guess.
"Okay, there's this really old, old invention, that was made long ago - and it helps people see through walls. What is it?"
Too easy, of course. It was a window. The Cheshire Cat was quick to guess it instantly, and Robert's ability to be proud of himself for even thinking it up was waning.

It was time for another riddle, one that Rex had to make sure would leave it baffled and in contempt.
"Ok, how about this one.
It's hard to give up. Remove part of it and you still have a bit. Remove another part, but bit is still there. Remove another and it remains.
What is it?"
It was tough to contain his delight as the seconds ticked away.
Time was fleeting must hurry hurry hurry, do not want to be late-
In the end, the cat was skinned, metaphorically. "is it, "it"?" it queried, unsure and this in turn made KingREX grin.
"Incorrect, it is Habit, remove a letter and you have abit, remove another and you have bit, and once more and there you have it."
"A surprising twist, but I love surprises. You are quite the clever one, and for that, you deserve a small prize. Just this time, of course, just once."
The cat vanished from view but in its places lay a chest.
Chests were much more favorable than riddles, he realized. No lies when it came to riches.

"What turns around and around and around but quite rather slowly?"
"Well now, if you're going to re-ask me a riddle, it's probably in your best interest not to tell me the answer the last time you asked it. It's time, you silly cat."
The cat seemed more pleased at this answer because of how silly it was that he'd been asked the question.

He didn't want to play this game anymore. The only thing keeping him going was that if he didn't stump the cheshire cat soon, he was going to be late for a very important date.
And that was unacceptable.
"My boot fits my foot. But it fits somewhere else. Guess where."
Though the Cheshire Cat still guessed this one, and thought him rude for something so inappropriate.

It was time to get serious. So Robert dug down deep, and tried to think up something that was Mimsy-level clever. That was the trick, wasn't it? The Cat wasn't going to let him go until he proved he could be as clever as the one person he considered the cleverest of all. He had to be worth it.
So he closed his eyes, and he tried to think like Mimsy. He tried so hard, it made his face squelch up and his nose tickle. He sneezed, and shook his head mightily.
And then it happened.
It was like a lightbulb had gone off - and then exploded - over his head.
"I got it." He whispered. "I GOT IT. What is something you can catch, but you can't throw?"
The Cheshire Cat blinked.
"Eh?"
Silence.
"EH?"
He'd done it! He'd stumped the cat! Robert let out a crow of victory, and informed the cat that the answer was a cold, thank you very much. He couldn't wait to tell Mimsy how clever he'd been.
She would be so proud.

Wow. She really was cute.
Like really cute.
She's super edible, hellrisen who was normally Van thought to himself, and his skin heated up. It was kind of like blushing. He started to laugh as she blushed and covered her mouth, and almost missed the Cheshire Cat's name as it introduced itself. "Sorry! Sorry! That's a great name, Cheshire Cat, a very right name. Not like, uh--" he glanced at Gabriel Santiago briefly and then back at the cat, hoping she hadn't noticed.
"Not like trees. What kind of a name is trees... for... a tree," he said lamely. Nailed it.
He listened to her riddle, and nodded in approval, leaning over conspiratorially: "We're gonna be the best party ever," he said under his breath, excited.
"Ooh, maybe I can figure out a riddle too..."
hellrisen massaged his temples, making his thinky face, and seemed very intent on the answer. Finally, he said the only thing he could think of that had 3 legs: "It's a stool, right!?"

Hellrisen was certainly a cheerful creeple wasn't he? Lute's silence was broken with a small giggle, the boys laughter too infectious. "Not like?" Gabriel Santiago blinked curiously not noticing the glance to her name as she waited for Hellrisen to answer. Tree, she supposed that was a silly name and for a moment thought of her own panicked username.
Thankfully this was just a dream.
Using the moment as Hellrisen thought of his own answer, Gabriel Santiago scratched her chin. What to make a riddle, how to make a riddle even she questioned herself as she looked to her party partner. His face causing her to giggle again. Silly boil.
"Ok-k...I have something.." She spoke up quietly before catching the cats attention and offering her riddle, "What is it that you can keep after giving it to someone else?..." After her riddle she waits expectantly for the cat to guess and when it is wrong she lets out a squeak of cheer before blushing and turning to see if the boil with her heard. "Th-that's incorrect..hehe.." Smiling she gives the real answer before her eyes widen as the cat leaves a chest for her. Trotting over to open it she hears the strange bing of leveling before pulling out a loot card.
