What loses its head in the morning and gets it back at night?

[text]

[justiceerror]

Hah! What a classic.... I know this one, for sure. It's a pillow, yeah?

[text]

[offwithhishat]

Yup.

Another: there is an ancient invention still used in some parts of the world today that allows people to see through walls. What is it?

[text]

[justiceerror]

Final answer is.... a window!

Hah- are you really that bored that you want to message me riddles now? I mean, I'm not complaining.

[text]

[offwithhishat]

I think I might have to stop going easy on you at this rate.

Little bit of boredom, little bit of enjoying that someone can actually answer the riddles I pose.

[text]

[justiceerror]

I see I see. Yeah, it is fun to have someone else around that understands how great puzzles and riddles are!

I've been reading and studying up on riddles and mysteries for a really long time, I'm not that easy to beat.

[text]

[offwithhishat]

Exactly. So many people just don't get it.

Yikes. Should I pull out the big guns then?

[text]

[justiceerror]

Maybe. But... I'm also not in the mood for the big guns, sorry.

[maybe, just maybe.... he can use jefferson to his advantage. he wasn't going to tell anyone about his 'big breakup' but maybe talking about it will make him seem more real, more.... like battler....

it was worth a shot.]

I have some girl troubles.

[text]

[offwithhishat]

[ That was unexpected. Jefferson wasn't even sure if they were beyond acquaintance status yet, but maybe Battler didn't know who else to talk to about it. He was already trying to help Airy with her boy troubles, so helping out Battler with his girl troubles wasn't really out of the realm of probability. Though... did he have a sign taped to his back that read, "Hi, I'm a dad and I will be your father for zero dollars"? ]

Ow. Sorry to hear that.

Did you want to talk about it?

[swordprincess]

[In some of the rare moments when Karla gets to relax in between her two jobs, she fiddles with her communication device. She should probably talk to people more, and yet she doesn't feel quite up to it either.]

[As she looks on for any broadcasts, she begins to hear the crackling of the static, and she raises an eye. Was her device broken? She taps it with her fingers to get it working again.]

Huh...strange...

[justiceerror]

[when he heard a voice coming from his device, he grabbed it and talked into it.]

Hm.... I know that voice.... is that you, Karla-?

[swordprincess]

[Karla blinks at the device as she instantly recognizes the voice. Her heart starts racing as she glances away.]

...Oh, it's you.

[Her voice is flat, much like it was when she had first woken up in that cabin. Her finger hovers over the button to end the feed right then and there, but falters. She could stand to learn more about him. After all, she had agreed to speak with Fai later. Any information she could gain would be useful.]

Battler...

[She has trouble starting a conversation, though.]

[justiceerror]

[she will not be gaining any useful information, after all. battler sighed on the other end, but he was still smiling a little.]

If you're calling to ask where I am.... then it definitely isn't that simple. However, I can answer any other questions for you....

[swordprincess]

[She "hmm's" at that. She's not so dumb to ask bluntly for sensitive info like that. But any information she can learn about him would be useful, in her mind.]

I don't need to ask you where you are. It's only a matter of time.

...It was not my intention to call you, but since we're here...what did you hope to gain by torturing all of those people? Was it really just for fun?

[justiceerror]

I was created for this.

[people have already called it boring, a silly answer, but it's true.]

I am.... simply a tool for this kind of torment. The witches back home, the ones that made me.... I am the manifestation of a theory, of a thought, that perhaps Battler.... really did kill his entire family.

I must carry out the same here.... all in order to exist. Without being a culprit, what am I, then? Nothing. I will vanish.

[swordprincess]

[It makes enough sense to Karla. She takes in the words carefully.]

So, you would literally vanish if you don't do this? I wouldn't mind that one bit, actually...

[She's just going to be blunt there.]

[justiceerror]

Hm... yes, of course you wouldn't. I do not care about your needs, however.... how do I describe myself...

Ah... everything I am... it is like a craving that won't stop, a throbbing in me, and the only way for it to cease is for me to kill. I have already fulfilled my duty as the culprit, so perhaps I will just kill for sport...

[bye bye npc's.]

[unhappy]

Hey you.
Meet me at Pawn Takes Queen.

action;

[justiceerror]

[she doesn't need to say anymore. as soon as he receives the text he is already on his way. wherever she is at the pawn takes queen he will suddenly appear in a burst of purple magic and butterflies.]

You called for me, Emerald?

action;

[unhappy]

[ She looks surprised to see him so quickly. ]

You're like an evil genie.

[ Anyway... ] I think Torchwick disappeared. I'm taking his pawn shop so it won't get shut down, if you still needed somewhere to stay. There isn't a bed or anything, but no one's going to think to look for you in Nova City just down the street from the Guardian's office.

action;

[justiceerror]

[he is like a genie, especially since he is going to grant her a wish for helping him anyways.]

What an interesting idea.... hiding in plain sight, then? Yes.... this will work nicely. I don't need a bed- I don't need to sleep or eat, I simply needed some sort of shelter.

Aahh.... I thank you yet again, Emerald.

action;

[unhappy]

[ For a brief moment she considers renaming him the world's best pet. He just needs space and he's got a hell of a bite. ]

Just don't sell any of the stuff. It's mine, so I don't have to work. If you find something you really like you can ask though.

action;

[justiceerror]

[he tilted his head, looking confused for a moment, before he just nodded at her.]

I have no use for your items, so I wouldn't dream of selling them.... you humans are the ones obsessed with money, after all.

....Hm. Do you own any... books?

action;

[unhappy]

I don't know, but you're welcome to look around here. Who knows what that creep had.

[ She shrugs. ] I mostly just want food money and clothes. It gets cold in the winter and I need something to change into. The amount of crap in here will last me a while.

action;

[justiceerror]

....Hm. I haven't been alive long enough to experience a winter.... that will be interesting.

[what is snow when all he knows is rain.]
