The City of the Specter, Atem's Palace

The corpse sinks to the floor
Even the brightest gold, even the sharpest blade
Becomes sand, becomes dust

Hold on, like the--the riddle!

[Jesse's eyes light up in recognition, but that quickly dims.]

I said the answer was "Balls."

[moodwrecker]

[Just. Staring.]

[privatedomicile]

As in, you know, courage! You can't flash somebody, but you can prove you got balls with actions and shit!

[beathollow]

... Might I suggest "Courage"?

[privatedomicile]

...okay, fine, next time I'll just call it courage since apparently it ain't above board to tell somebody they got balls.

[He is only slightly sulking.]

[metagame]

Mana sees Jesse sulking, and she can't hold it in any longer.

"No, don't be sad! The Prince loved how you answered his riddle the first time. He says it too!!"

"Mana!"

[privatedomicile]

...wait, for real?

[Jesse does perk up at that validation with a small chuckle.]

[metagame]

"Yeah! Yeah! If you have no balls to do what needs to be done, then you're definitely a huge coward!"

[finalmix]

I would have accepted that answer, though.

[ he thinks it's Funny ]
