Argenti's Palace

[beautifulknight]

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[...Well, he's not wrong?]

In that case, it would be silver, no?

[We're 'yes, but-'ing the answer. The riddle was 'tarnished', not 'oxidized', Eli!]

[fullmoonmutt]

Huh? Silver? I mean, uh. Maybe? But doesn't the copper thing count, too?

[cirquedesang]

On appearance, perhaps, but not on verbiage.

[Look, several of his coterie members are supremely pedantic...]

[fullmoonmutt]

Oh...

[ That means his answer is wrong. Now he looks down about it. :( ]

Well, at least I gave it a shot. Someone smarter will figure it out, I'm sure.

[cirquedesang]

[..........He said he wouldn't headpat in public anymore, Eli, so he doesn't. But oh does he want to.]

You started the guessing for us instead of letting us have a chance to argue.

[fullmoonmutt]

...I guess, but with how dumb most of these answers are, maybe we should have argued first.

[kandata]

You did right.

[Not that she thinks it was a smart answer, but still, you did right]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Even Kirumi?!?!?! ]

...er, thanks.

[cirquedesang]

Hm... perhaps...

[Try to think like Argenti--]

But arguing is decidedly not beautiful, when, ah, companions conversing and trying to figure out a riddle together... is? Perhaps?

[IS THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE JUST YAKETY SAX FOR A WHILE, ARGENTI...]

[fullmoonmutt]

Ha, maybe the answer is friendship or working together or something. Can't say everyone's friendships here aren't a little tarnished, but... They're still good. Sort of.

[ledbythewind]

Tarnished silver does have a uniquely attractive appearance...

[He can't even argue this.]

[goei]

If it did people wouldn't pay fer silver polish, idiot.

[ledbythewind]

[WOW, RUDE.]

Some people find the aged look to be appealing.

[goei]

[A beat, before he grins.]

I see. Yer into older women, huh?
[IZOU NOWS NOT THE TIME FOR BULLYING]

[cirquedesang]

[A Look at Richard.

An eyebrow raise at Izou.]

Older men, perhaps.

[goei]

Hey, fancy poofs like that don't have ta be gay.

[DON'T STEREOTYPE, CELESTE.]

[cirquedesang]

No, but given...

[Gestures! When Richard responds with that 'absolutely not' to Izou!]

[ledbythewind]

[YOU. YOU GET HIM, AT LEAST.]

[ledbythewind]

Older women...?

[WHAT. HOW DID HE EVEN MAKE THAT LEAP does Richard seem like someone who is into women, sir]

... absolutely not. And I don't see how that's relevant to this particular topic of discussion...

[goei]

Oh, so Celeste was right after all!

[IZOU THAT'S NOT THE POINT.]

[ledbythewind]

That's also beside the point.

[HELP. WHY THIS.]

[imperiosity]

Hey, that just means he'd have good taste!

[like, in the hypothetical scenario richard was into women]

[goei]

Right?? Like, if ya want someone who knows what they're doin' and what they want, Older ladies are where it's at.

[MILF enjoyers club impromptu meeting.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ eli looking like what ]

Dude. Don't admit to liking grannies.

[imperiosity]

Hell yeah, my man here knows what it's all about! We oughta head out to the red-light district one of these days, get our pick of ladies for the night.

[he will even wingman for you izou itll be great]
