I've tried tagging on the usual .jpgs and .mp3s.. not getting anything from that so far...

*mewls and tugs at her bandage.. seeing that it's exceptionally bound she cheers up and hugs Omi*

Okay, I guess you're forgiven.

*tugs at her halo* The halo and wings are sort of nifty...

*sits back on the ground and peers at the angel*

Well, the only other difference I see is that there's a 'The' in the title and there isn't one in the picture name...

*leans her head on one hand as she stares*

Iggy's right... after all these.. can you imagine Dracul's castle?

*stares up at Omi*

Oh well, 'least we have each other!

*grins sheepishly as she calls behind her*

Greeeeeg, c'mon! We need you!

Pretty much...everything you need is right there. I can't believe I didn't get it earlier.

As for hints, there aren't any I can give without practically telling you the answer. Just think about the riddle for awhile.

*leans against Iggy*

I know.. I know... he's super brainy, and the uber hero of the story, and we're the sidekicks in the back...

Iggy, I'm heading home soon, so I should be seeing you on AIM in 30 minutes.. I'll write down what I can and think about it on the busride home...

But like I told Zarii... I'm the worst at riddles... and math... and navigating... yes.. I'm terrible..

*sighs*
