D.A.M.M. - Monday First Period - "Riddle Me This"

[bluewindbreaker.livejournal.com]

Byron actually walks into the classroom today and lets the students settle down.

"Greetings students! I trust you all had an... eventful weekend. Today we will discuss the sacred Riddle Game. No doubt most of you have heard or read about the Greek sphinx, who asks a riddle of all who pass by. Eating the ones who are unable to answer her riddle and throwing herself off her perch when a correct answer is given. Likewise the sanctity of the Riddle game is touched upon in more recent popular fiction such as with the character 'Gag' in There And Back Again and 'Mona the Monorail' in the Dim Highrise series. More traditional stories, such as Rumplestiltskin, hint to us that creatures which seem to be the embodiment of chaos are actually bound by a few, very ridged, laws. Esoteric though they may be to our minds."

Optional reading about riddles is passed out.

"In each case, the protagonist and the antagonist engage in a Riddle Game and the fact that the game is still ongoing keeps the antagonist from attacking. Since they don't dare violate the sanctity of the Riddle Game. This can be instrumental in defeating a malevolent creature, or at least buy you some time.

But it helps to be good at riddles.

So today, I would like you to pair up and have a riddle game of your own. We're going to have a little tournament. Winners of the first round will report to me and I will pair you off for the second round, and so on, the last student will face me."

This is important information he's giving you slackers, listen up!

Or not.

Wyatt? So not wanting to talk to anyone. He did keep shooting WTF happened? glances at his brother, and OMGWTFdidIdo? glances at Jo.

Door's looking oh, so pleased with the world as she takes notes today.

Except not.

Willow took notes, even as she held up her little sign that read "Weekend? What weekend?"

Hikaru wasn't in the mood for class. So he just stared as the lecture was being given.

Re: DURING THE LECTURE

Shawn actually got off pretty lightly in comparison to some.

Still, he's taking pretty intense notes, and trying not to remember the details.

Alanna? Was very pale and spent most of the class napping on her folded arms.

Setsuna is trying to take detailed notes as usual, but she's finding it difficult. She kept getting...distracted...by memories of her perfectly shameless pursuits this weekend.

Re: DURING THE LECTURE

Bridge? Is taking very, very detailed notes as well as occasionally glancing around the room and very carefully NOT LOOKING AT WILLOW. AT ALL.

Re: DURING THE LECTURE

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn took a great deal of notes, which also had the very exciting benefit of keeping her from looking directly at Sam.

Re: DURING THE LECTURE

Will was paying attention, but not taking as detailed notes as her fellow classmates seemed to be writing out. She still felt pretty god about helping to win that fight last night in the basement.

RIDDLE GAME ROUND ONE

[bluewindbreaker.livejournal.com]

Pair off and take turns asking riddles. First person unable to answer a riddle or think of one is not the winner.

Re: RIDDLE GAME ROUND ONE

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow looked for a riddle partner

Re: RIDDLE GAME ROUND ONE

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn glanced around in search of a potential partner. Preferably someone who hadn't met his ultra dorky alter-ego over the weekend.

Re: RIDDLE GAME ROUND ONE

[notajar]

Ironically, Door quite likes riddles. Any other day she'd be bouncing a bit in her seat. Today, however, she's just waiting about for a partner and trying not to look annoyed. Not very hard, though.

Re: RIDDLE GAME ROUND ONE

Hikaru had his eye on one person in particular, but he was pretty sure she wasn't in the mood for talking to him.
But he was looking for a partner he could slack with.

Re: RIDDLE GAME ROUND ONE

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Tannim was available for riddling. Eager, even. He may have read the riddle scene in There and Back Again a few too many times.

WINNERS

[bluewindbreaker.livejournal.com]

When you win a round, report here and you will be paired off for another round.

Re: WINNERS

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn considered his round a win, even though Alanna was half asleep and not really trying that hard.

RIDDLE GAME - subsequent rounds
