Sap glared at the cat, her arms crossed, her job-class tail swishing behind her.
"Its a blade. Like of grass." she said. "And I'd better be right."

Correct purred the cat, Though it is more a knife than grass.
"Whatever." said sap.
Your turn. the cat laughed.
"All right." she said, thinking for a moment, "All right, how about this one?!" she said, cracking her woody knuckles, "What is sweet in two states of matter, but cannot be in a third?"
The cat licked its paw for a long moment, then purred. "A syrup. Though if you heated it enough, it would be a gas. But not sweet. Bitter."
"y-yeah... But which syrup?" the cat laughed, swishing its tail.
All syrups. Not one in particular.
"Ugh. Fine."

OuO didn't particularly notice when the trees began to look the same as she wandered through them, many trees did after all. It didn't make them any less neat and her head was moving about as she looked up at everything she could with a bright smile on her face.
Soon she found herself at that bent tree with the sly cat smirking its way down at her. It faded and pulsed as it purred its words at her. "Oh, you're a cat!" She exclaimed in awe and took a step closer, at first not even realizing that it was inviting her to a game of wits.
"What turns around and around and around but quite rather slowly?" It asked, not seeming to be phased that she hadn't even agreed to his little game. It made her pause though and blink up as owlishly at the cat in the tree. Not only stumped but perhaps hadn't even heard the question in the first place.
Perhaps that dumbfounded look was enough to prompt the cat to ask again, but still her expression remained the same. Until she just blurted out, "I can sometimes ~" She honestly told him, demonstrating with a slow little spin on the ball of her foot. "but my dad said the answer was tiiiime ~"
The cat only seemed to grin wider, perhaps amused the little ghoul actually knew the answer but from a chance of luck really. "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."

ATTEMPT 1 - GENE Reflect's normally chipper mood was intact, even if everything looked the same to her eyes. The mini-map was a huge help, and she was scrolling around the interface when the projection suddenly shifted onto a rather odd tree, which stuck out like a sore thumb in the midst of the homogeneous forest.
Putting the little tablet like card away when the cat made his appearance, Reflect was quick to agree to the proposed game. Riddles were fun, after all.
"What kind of plant grows, but never dies?"
The Dormouse tilted her head to the side, tapping her chin. Hmmmm.... that was a hard one. "A powerplant?"
The cat shook it's head, smiling. "The answer is poison, thick and prevalent in the heart, it will poison a soul for eternity and then move to the next." Oh, she thought, not too satisfied that she'd lost.
"Your turn."

[Try 3/3, part 1]
Purrr, your riddles are getting better. said the cat, Perhaps one more...?
"Oh you bet." said Sap, gritting her teeth, "Lets go another round, mister kitty."
mmm, in a sense. It was time, but your answer was more than an answer, it was a riddle in itself. But that riddle we will adress again and perhaps again. Now, you'r turn.
"All right, kitty..." Said Sap, shaking herself out, "I've got a good one for ya."
"What roars like a tiger and mocks like a bird? What speaks and speaks but doesn't really say a word? What relies on others but snubs them for itself? and what, above all else, likes its smelt?"
The cat stared at her. ... not a plant one...? Mrrr.
It rubbed against the tree. But of course, though. It is a cat.
"Augh!!!"
Mmmm... it looked her over again. you have promise, my dear, but you are still lost yet. suddenly the tree was gone, the cat was gone, and she was in the same stretch of forest she could swear she had been lost in for hours.
"Auuuughghghghghghhhh!" she cried out, frustrated.
Come back tomorrow! it said, laughter fading into the trees.
Trees, trees, so many trees! They all look the same right down to their shape and markings, and if WD had to guess they were probably the same right down to the pattern and placement of each leaf. This was getting ridiculous! He just wanted to find a nice place to rest and get his thoughts together, but no, no, he had to get lost in a forest. At least these trees weren’t talking to him and trying to hug him.
Sighing, WD continued on until he could walk no more. Then, well, there was a happy sight. It was a tree that actually did not look like all the other trees in the forest. No, wait, experience told him that the tree was most likely not a good thing. Nothing else that stood out in the land turned out to be a good thing.
Still…
"Hello," says the tree, "Have you come for a story?"
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nooooooooope!
“Do I have a choice in the matter?”
“Most likely not.” he thought to himself.
"Are you here for a story or a riddle?"
WD stood silent for a moment and then ran a hand over his face in annoyance.
“Fine, fine, let’s get those over with. Give me a riddle,…whatever you are.”

My character's username: SmellsLikeWetDog My character's level: 3 Character's HP: 30 Character's Job Class: Caterpillar Current party: Current Guild: Location: Small IC description of character: A lean boy who stands at just about 5'8". He is a tad on the pale side with a face full of freckles and platinum blond dog ears and tail. The most striking features about him are his head of wavy red hair and bright green eyes that rest against pitch black sclera. Upon closer investigation one may notice the snake bite piecing along his bottom lip. An expression of annoyance always seem to be painted on his face.
"You may call me a Cheshire cat," it said after finally revealing itself.
A cat who spews out riddles and stories? Well, there were weirder things in this land, so maybe this was a sign of some normalcy in this place. Or maybe he was just allowing himself to become too comfortable for his own good.
Shaking his head, WD turned his attention back to the chatting cat.
"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"
WD smiled at the thought of the reward. The more things to collect the better.
"Alright, let's do this, cat."
"What can I hide but always find?"
Okay, he could do this. All he had to do is take a moment to really think about this. Alright... DANG IT! HE HAD NO IDEA!
Okay. Okay, just calm down and think.
"Um, your thoughts?"

Her mouth fell open for a moment as her eyes went skyward, trying to think of a fun puzzle to give the cat. She didn't always play with them, since they were sometimes very confusing but her dad rather liked them.
"Whaaat has a neck but no head?" That was simple enough.
Simple indeed as the Cheshire Cat replied with no effort at all. "A bottle. Shall we try again?"
"Okay!"

Reflect waited for the Cat to propose his deal again, and she quickly agreed. She wanted to win this damn game, really badly.
"What is flat but sharp at the edges?"
"A blade." She replied rather quickly, thanks to the many Hunters she'd fought in the real world. Swords and blades aplenty, they had.
"Very good. Your turn."

"What can be everything, but is always the same?" She posed slyly, crossing her arms in victory. There was no way in hell the cat would get this right.
It stood there for a while, then shook its head. "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."

She waited patiently while the Cheshire Cat gave her another riddle with a small curious smile on her face. And then hummed when she received it, tulting her head to one side as she thought about it.
"Paper can be very sharp, and its very flat ~" She replied with a nod. Only to find out that no, that wasn't what he wanted to hear. A knife apparently. Well, that made sense.
"Your turn," he purred.
