cryptomancer Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 A Raven enters the carnival grounds, wearing a suit of green spandex, covered in question marks, of the purple sort, and with a tip of his tophat, and a twirl of his cane, he begins to dance and chant for the game...... Riddle me this riddle me that did you know that a bird can be friends with a cat (at this he jumps up onto the nearest passer by, dancing and chanting still) As cloak and sythe and bird all know raven and reaper put on a good show challenge announced and me did call to riddle for one to riddle for all (now dancing through the crowd gathering, or running..... whichever) if who i do riddle you cannot guess then ask it and by clue i shall bless magician of words i wish to become for i am the devil with the silver tongue beauty beyond all compare hidden deep inthe cloak she does wear wonderful words upon her tongue bright and sharp as the blade she own power and poise feline in part captured my friend with the love in his heart (landing atop the frame of a very wonderful picture in the kissing booth) mystery and magic beautiful blonde welcomed me as if to the pen i belonged curtious beauty has our applause for she wet the great lizard for the amusement of all picture perfect with rubbery friends juggles them too if it does not offend lord of location fourth of dimension could probably work while away on vacation (skips through the crowd to the dumk tank, dancing and chanting and twirling his cane) cloaked and dry to the bones we see if this were new york death of lawyers you'd be scales that weigh both arvice and hide pleasantly filled with power and probably pride bunnies do bounce not only a bit but can put out an eye with that big pointy bit older and wizer soft with his word interestingly protected i heard (dancing part the bachelor auction signup, skipping from shoulder to shoulder dancing upon the heads of the crowd) did not notice him at first sight but that sexiness gave my ego a fright shelly was right mighty ye be how mighty thy works i will have to go see many kisses for beauty making her blush then protecting her virtue as a gentleman must sly and cunning red by look cuddles for purchace but please do book (Dancing through the banquet room, along the tops of chairs) beauty wrapped in sorrowfull prose both note and thanked as she already knows chased by suiters caused lots of fuss missed my chance but only just questioned us all about new blood we suggested you post and await the flood (bowing low to the crowd, with all reverence) if you were missed pm me and see if you too can be riddled by me.

Salinye Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 *Salinye smiles becoming a quick fan of the poetic tongue of The Raven.* I guess I'll take a stab... beauty beyond all compare hidden deep inthe cloak she does wear wonderful words upon her tongue bright and sharp as the blade she own power and poise feline in part captured my friend with the love in his heart This I would have to say is none other than Mynx. *smiles* mystery and magic beautiful blonde welcomed me as if to the pen i belonged These kind and generous words, I think are about me. *blushes* curtious beauty has our applause for she wet the great lizard for the amusement of all This of course must be the wonderful Miss Ayshela. picture perfect with rubbery friends juggles them too if it does not offend This would be the ever-mysterious Zool Zoolio. lord of location fourth of dimension could probably work while away on vacation This one was a bit harder for me, but I’ll guess Xaious cloaked and dry to the bones we see if this were new york death of lawyers you'd be I’m going to guess “Death of Rats, The Grim Squeaker” for this one. scales that weigh both arvice and hide pleasantly filled with power and probably pride Hmm, I’m guessing the ever playful Wyvern? bunnies do bounce not only a bit but can put out an eye with that big pointy bit This one could be no one but Stick! (The Big Pointy One) older and wizer soft with his word interestingly protected i heard Master Peredhil…Interestingly protected, indeed. did not notice him at first sight but that sexiness gave my ego a fright *laughs* Orlan, I’m guessing. If not, he’ll want to know of his competition! shelly was right mighty ye be how mighty thy works i will have to go see You have stumped me on this one, Riddler… many kisses for beauty making her blush then protecting her virtue as a gentleman must This of course, would be Gyrfalcon. *mock glares at the ranger for making her blush so…* sly and cunning red by look cuddles for purchace but please do book This would be the best cuddler at The Pen-Daryl! beauty wrapped in sorrowfull prose both note and thanked as she already knows chased by suiters caused lots of fuss missed my chance but only just questioned us all about new blood we suggested you post and await the flood Alas, you stumped me again with these last three stanzas! Perhaps someone else will be smarter than me! I guess we’ll wait and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yui-chan Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 (edited) chased by suiters caused lots of fuss missed my chance but only just I'm going to have to guess that's Katzaniel. Who can forget the Love Notes? {Edit: Ah, on second thought... questioned us all about new blood we suggested you post and await the flood This would be Kunax-san, neh? } As for the rest... I'm afraid I agree with Salinye where she answered and am as stumped as she is for the others. Thank you for the challenge, cryptomancer.

Salinye Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 OH! Good call, Yui-Sama! *hugs her wise partner in crime* ~Salinye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yui-chan Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Thank you, Sali-chan. I think I might have a guess for another one. shelly was right mighty ye be how mighty thy works i will have to go see Well, I dunno who Shelly is, but this one puts me in mind of M'Lord Dreamer (or Zadown). He's certainly mighty, and the 'ye' in there seems like a subtle clue... And for the record, his works are indeed mighty, so even if this isn't about Zadown-san, you should go check out his stories! Movin' Along, ~Yui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katzaniel Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 No, no. Shelly is the author of "Ozymandias, King of Kings" and "mighty thy works" is a second reference to the poem. That's Ozy. I can't help with the last one, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptomancer Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 A spandex coated Raven circles the tent, chanting his chant as his wings he bent diving low above the crowd, hear some more, listen now..... Stately bird of myth legend and lore will not say the word ......(and neither will I) Last i saw like they lived in a cage these two are goons mighty and brave I read his two poems but not on this board vampiric discribed in well written lore. (stops and looks at the crowd, "need help?") clue is give clue is say it you still stumped that way you may stay as for the one that stumped you all i made a critique for all to endure. (flys off) If in my rhyme i did offend please complain and in triplicate send (circles back) the first you guessed true, but not the next part (quotes, and smiles) he captured my friend with the love in his heart... well done to all well done to all if i think of more a post i'll install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
