So Iggy's the new hero for the day

((Dangit, and here I am still stuck at work -,-))

*kisses Iggy on the cheek*

So those were the numbers we were missing...

Iggy, you're a genius ... (without the elephant gun)


((so.. hard.. to concentrate at work... must... concen-... oh screw this!))

*knocks down the door, but falls through the barrier as soon as the secret words are said...*

Iggy?...

*stares at the room in awe*

Oh dear... what have we gotten ourselves into now?...

  • #2,440

Maybe she wrote letters?

Just give her a good ol' slap. That is what I did (well it didn't work, but it feels good).
 
  • #2,444
she needs one...cuz she isn't coughing anything up...everything i throw isn't working
 
  • #2,445
Omi!

*giggles and hugs him, avoiding the previously stabbed wooden stake still in his torso and then whispers*

...my wings aren't as shabby...

*straights up and tilts her halo forward and nudges Iggy*

Soo... maybe I was wrong about that elephant gun?...


*yells out*

OLD!

*meeps and gets struck towards the face, but brings her arm up in time to defend and gets scratched*

*steps back with the rest of the guys*

Okay... so.. calling her OLD wasn't it... (used the clues Iggy tried, minus a letter...)

*sniffles and cries, holding her arm*

  • #2,447
Only thing I see off of the picture is that it lies... looks more purple than ruby to me...

*whimpers, still holding her arm*
 
  • #2,448
well i love purple..its my favorite color...the letters in the picture seem weird...like they were cut outta a picture...but maybe not
 
  • #2,449
I'm more partial to green myself *grins as her wings flop*

She sure does sting...

Also, looks like she's holding a stick of some sort...

  • #2,452
*cries and sits on the floor holding her arm*

Wish Zarii was here...

*sniffles*

'least she's nice to me...

*mewls and wraps her arm up with pieces of curtain from a nearby window*
 
  • #2,453

Remove my stake and I will lend you my first aid kit...:wink: o:)
 
  • #2,455
*peers closer*

Hmm.. you're right Iggy, it does look like a leash... I guess it's one more lead for us to go by

*winces and sulks.. stands to walk over to Omi and pries the stake out*

You know... 'least you're not a vampire...

*sniffles and sits on the ground, tugging at her wing*

You did worse to me...

*squints up at the angel*

From a distance.. the mist around her looks like a face.. and the bottoms of her wings are the face's eyes or cheekbones...

*mewls and holds out her arm sulkily*

Health restored melodykitn...I'm sorry.

Again (and again, and again), we need to determine which oddities are clues and which are not. Not an easy task.

There has already been a couple of times when I expected to move on (well, maybe just guessed with confidence), but I didn't...:smile:

I wonder whether this is a one part or two part riddle. It would definitely impact my view of the riddle.
