lumpenproletariat Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 As the general crowd of the Cabaret room mulled over their drinks, and engaged in idle chitchat, there was a sudden boom from the entry doors. Every turned to see two identical men. Speaking in perfect unison, the two proceeded to say: Do you know the secret about the land of the doubles talented writers gathered here? No? Do you want to find out? We harken from this land, and if you can prove to us you know the secret of the land of the doubles, we will take you there with us for glory beyond your wildest imagination. We will give you four clues to start you, if you believe you know the secret, please post a response in the correct format of our clues. If you can proove more than once that you know the secret, you will be admitted to the land of the doubles. Now, for the clues There is blood but no wounds in the land of the doubles. There is sleep but there is no one that is tired in the land of the doubles. There are books but no words in the land of the doubles. There is darkness but no night in the land of the doubles. If you KNOW the secret, do not give it out to anyone else, they will have to figure out the secret themself to become a true member in the land of the doubles, and you yourself shall loose your entry. The two men sit oon identical stool next to each other, and order identical drinks, waiting for people to approach them with their answers *(OOC: This is a competition, I may think of some sort of reward if you answer correctly, though I don't know what yet it /*is* taken from my friend at an ultima online board, so I dunno if he took it from somewhere else - if you know the answer, just post your entry and be accepted, now, give the two men your best answers!)

lumpenproletariat Posted February 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Lumpenproletariat walks up to the two men, "There are employees but no work in the land of the doubles, There is atomic kitten but no Beatles in the land of the doubles" The two men welcome lumpenproletariat to their group (OOC: Either I, or another member of land of the doubles will welcome you into the group. PS. Tyrion, don't ruin this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Pointy One Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Mr.Bunny hops over to the doubles in a semi-drunken stagger. "..." A few minutes later, Stick shrugs and gets up. There are bunnies in the hutch, but no carrots on the door. There is lettuce in my hand, but no rabbit poo on the floor. OOC: I'm sorry, I have *no* clue.

Gyrfalcon Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 There are children but no parents in the land of the doubles There are gods but no worshipers in the land of the doubles Like Stick, I have *no* idea what this is about.

Impostor Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 ooh, lemme guess there are threes but no twos (oddly) in this land of doubles? In fact, you can say that there are odd numbers, but no even numbers in the land of the doubles. Then again, there are no fives. Impostor the land of doubles sucks 'cause they've got fucking Atomic Kitten instead of the Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Pointy One Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 *Stick realises he was chanting the Bunny Cult mantra by mistake, then gives a similar, but more correct answer* There are bunnies and rabbits but no hares in the land of doubles. There are carrots but no vegetables in the land of doubles. Ha-ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impostor Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 /me Is getting annoyed for being told he hasn't got it, when he clearly has. What did I do wrong? threes are in the land of doubles, and twos arent. odd is and even isnt. five isnt. (fifteen is, though) Which part of this isnt true?? And where did I give away the secret?? I have no idea why I'm suddenly so personally touched by this. Impostor anyway, there's no lumpen in the land of the doubles. So there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peredhil Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Peredhil consoles Imposter who cleverly diverted attention away from the fact he'd answered it so clearly. There are bookkeepers but no libraries in the Land of Doubles, which I find to be a trouble There are preeminent Hollywood stars but no galaxies in the Land of Doubles, but you won't need to look through the telescope of Hubble. There are patterns in the Land of Doubles, but no sewing at all There is no spring in the Land of Doubles, but definitely there is fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 (edited) Rune is totally lost but is gonna try and go with the flow. There is summertime, but no seasons in the land of doubles. There is love and devastation, but not a single emotion in the land of doubles. Rune boggles and waddles out of the room. There are penguins but no waddles! in the land of doubles! *giggles* ok ok, ill stop cause I dunno what im doing. There are deadlines, but no time in the land of doubles? There are duplicates, but no copies in the land of doubles. There are uncles..but no families in the land of doubles! There are ants, but no insects in the land of doubles..

Gwaihir Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 There are Meeps and Wiggly Cabbages in the land of the doubles, but no orangutans on another note There is an affection, but no love A happiness, but no joy Feelings, but no truth!

Kasmandre Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Ah, I understand now. I think that I've got one: There is beer but no wine in the land of the doubles. There are wigglies abounding, but no place for my shotgun. But despite both of these, in this land there's no troubles. The walls are all gapped, but the walls have no holes. But this I won't find in the land of the doubles. There isn't any money and there always are tolls. Beginnings, no ends, in the land of the doubles. I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.
