Not one to give up so easily, she asked to try again, bracing herself for another confusing riddle from the cat--wait a minute, that was the one that she had just done.
And he had already given her the answer.
Staring at him blankly, Nightbloom narrowed her eyes at him in suspicion. "Death...?"

the0racle was sorely tempted to fire back her first stupid riddle, but she was beginning to suspect that if she did so, they'd just go around in the same stupid circle all night long. The cat stared at her expectantly, as if knowing that she was really tempted to stay here and ask the same riddles over and over again.
She kind of was tempted, but no. She kind of wanted to stare at a few different trees. Why did she have to get stuck with the retarded cheshire cat?
"Uh, okay, who was the first person to ring a bell?" try that, cheshire cat! The cat just stared at her, and for a second she thought she had broke it...
But then it announced she had stumped it, and well, the0racle was both relieved and a little confused. But hey, she'd take a victory and some free loot. Loot was always sweet. "Thanks. Have fun... and apples." She kind of wanted a nice rotten apple right now, she mused as she walked off.

And now that she had gotten the right answer this time, here came the moment of truth: trying to come up with a riddle to stump the kitty. Fidgeting nervously, the ghoul bit down on her bottom lip in thought.
"What...loses its head in the morning, but gets it back at night?"
It was a pretty good one, she thought...until the cat answered correctly with "pillow".

The ghoul was determined to do this. One more time! When she asked to try again, the cat offered a grin in response, firing off one last riddle for her to answer. This one...she wasn't sure if she was on the right track, but she decided to give it a go anyways.
"A clock?" It did go rather slowly, she supposed. At least, it did when she was in class.

The answer was "time", but she had been close enough. The cat seemed pretty excited that she had nearly gotten the correct answer, but honestly, he had been happy when she had gotten the wrong answer too so she wasn't really sure what to make of him.
And now it was her turn. This time, she had tried to think of something in advance, and felt that she had figured out a good one.
"Alright then, ready? ...Under what circumstance can you die, but still be alive?"
Staring at him, she expected for him to immediately offer her an answer as he did before, and was thus rather surprised when she was met by a thoughtful silence. When he finally offered her a guess, the ghoul smiled in relief and shook her head. Goodness, she had actually managed to come up with something he hadn't known!
Nightbloom had only just managed the utter a polite "thank you" before the cat abruptly disappeared. Shaking her head, she stooped down to collect her prize from the treasure chest.

[1/3] Sometime during her travels, she had somehow wandered to a very bent over tree and Lo! there was a cat up there grinning down at her. There was a prize being wagered over a game of riddles, and while she certainly wasn't the most clever person, it was a challenge she wouldn't refuse.
The ghoul furrowed her eyebrows, thinking hard about the riddle. She had seen people chew at their nails before, and it was for certain that some of that did get swallowed. The ends of quills and pencils? Almost anything could be swallowed if one's teeth were sharp enough and were willing to risk a stomach ache.
So what could not be swallowed? The ghoul unconsciously bit her lower lip, which gave her an idea -
<>Lips?> she guessed hopefully.
The answer was the tongue, though she thought her answer was arguable legitimate as well. Her turn next.

sweetm00n listened to the cat's story stoically enough, but quickly dropped that as the first riddle came out, her eyebrows locking into a fierce scowl of concentration.
"What is flat but sharp at the edges?"
Indu blinked at that ... she had been expecting something a little more difficult. I mean - as a student, what was the flat object that was always giving you damn cuts all over your hands? "Paper!" She rolled her eyes, this was sooo easy.

sweetm00ns mouth opened in protest at the reply to that riddle. Knifes didn't count! Butter knives weren't sharp at all, and most other kitchen knives were only sharp on one side. Plus some were thick, not - mrrr. Her answer was right as well, anyway. Huffing out her cheeks, her question came back grumpily.
"Whats smug and blue and wrong all over?"
When the cat answered, she shrieked with delight. "WRONG! It's you! Because you're wrong!!" Cackling just a little maniacally, she snatched up her loot and charged off into the forest.

The cat that had appeared so quickly was fascinating to Finitay; especially since after the trauma of three levels of hell she had been quite ready to find a nice stripey tree, climb it, and hide until she woke up from whatever coma she had to be in to be here... Even if everything seemed so real. Luckily, her mind snapped back into place just in time to hear the cat give it's riddle and she chewed over the answer carefully...not sure what a person would chew but -couldn't- swallow...
"Uhm... Gum?"
The cat seemed to mock her and the answer of 'a tongue' made Finitay want to stare at her shoes in shame -- instead she decided to just stay on the same playing field and ask the cat...
"What's black and white and red all over?" (The only riddle that she honestly knew)
The cat's smarmy and quick response made her shrug delicately and decide to move on. This hadn't been painful although not particularly fun either.... this place was absolutely mad.

BoiisonFIYAH approached the tree catiously and noticed that teeth were smiling above the tree. Just like before, in the forest. For a moment he considered going away, but suddenly the cat appeared and wanted to tell him a riddle. Boi wasn't... Smart. He felt nervous already, almost queasy at the thought of having to face off against another AI. Yet it was a challenge, and gosh DARNIT he would do it.
"Okay... Tell me your riddle."
"What kind of plant grows but never dies?"
... Huh? For a long time Boi stared at the cat incredulously. That was impossible! Something that grew would eventually die, right? If it was always growing and never dying then it would, like, take over everything. Shrugging limply, he went with the best answer, "A... I don't know... A fake plant?"
"The answer is poison, thick and prevalent in the heart, it will poison a soul for eternity and then move to the next."
It took a moment for him to register what the hell the cat was attempting to say. Seriously. Poison? Poison wasn't a PLANT. Then it made sense. Poison, or anger, in the heart that took root. Then it would be given to someone else. That had an oddly chilling effect.
"All right, now it is your turn. Ask me a riddle, and give me a second to think. If I guess right however, I win. If I don't guess right, then you win, and I will give you my treasure. Come now, ask me anything. A riddle is as good as a story."
Boi hesitated as he tried to think....

"What sort of house is made of wood but no trees were chopped down?"
The cat yawned and flicked its tail, answering immediately, "A treehouse."
"Oh... uh... Right." Embarassed, Boi looked at his feet. He'd failed. Twice.
"Riddles are my nature of course I would guess right. I guess it is still too early for you, too early indeed."
Was it trying to make him feel better? Or stating the truth? It was just an AI, after all. Sighing slowly, Boi nodded and decided to try again.

This tree was interesting. It seemed to go on forever. He thought it would be cooler if it were on fire, but... game schematics didn't let him correct this.
He found a cat, like his gear. "Hello." it wanted to tell him a riddle? "I like riddles. Hit me up."

"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."
replied the cat. Andrew thought his answer was a perfectly fine one. Oh well. but not the cat wanted one. hummmm.
Well.... he thought of one, one his mother asked him once as a training exercise.
"There are four brothers in this world that were all born together. The first runs and never wearies. The second eats and is never full. The third drinks and is always thirsty. The fourth sings a song that is never good."
He watched the cat and waited.
...
The cat took a long time to guess and wasn't quiet able to piece it all together.
So he told the cat the answer smiling as he wave his tail back and forth.
Water, fire, earth, wind. Of course I'm born from the second brother.
The cat was pleased and left him a little treasure. Score!

Coming up with a riddle was not as easy as she had imagined. The ghoul thought long and hard over what to ask of the grinning cat.
<What bites, but has no teeth?> Was that too easy? She grinned back at the cat, flashing her teeth. Hopefully that would serve to confuse it.
The cat thought long and hard, but could not come up with an answer. It rolled over onto its back, turning its smile upside down. A disgruntled purr conceded its loss.
<The cold~> she answered simply.
The cat cackled and disappeared into the darkness, leaving her with her prize to keep.

She still remembered how that dumb willow tree had whacked her, and for doing nothing too! Sure, she had certainly fought back, but the tree had initiated the first hit. She found herself staring at the ground as she weaved through the forest, attempting to avoid all the willow trees, and it simply ended up with her getting extremely dizzy.
Seal sighed and looked up, and found herself staring at a very strange tree.
"Oh." She said flatly. "It's you again."
It simply grinned at her, and materialized into a very blue, striped cat; a blue that resembled the hues she was wearing.
"You may call me a Cheshire cat," it said, fading into invisibility every now and then, "but just one of many. We reside here you see. This is a nice place, and we so very much do enjoy a good riddle. Let us play a small game, if you will so indulge me. I'll give you something nice of course in return. All right, here goes the riddle: What is flat but sharp at the edges?"
Seal did not answer at first, simply staring at the cat.
"Oh." She said at last. "You're actually staying this time?" She had thought, with her previous encounter with it, that it would simply disappear like it had.
"Isn't that obviously a knife?"
It was certainly a weapon she would like to wield. Especially on that dumb willow tree.
