Blackness.



Two minds, hovering in the blackness; they believe themselves to still have a shape, and so they do.

"I don't get it," Ava murmurs to him, though she too sounds rather dry.

Maybe it's the face-making.
hadyougoing: (highly dubious)

[personal profile] hadyougoing 2012-03-21 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
"... In the sense of out-wit, or out-dumb?"

Ava's not actually sure which of those is the dicier alternative.
hadyougoing: (pull the other one)

[personal profile] hadyougoing 2012-03-21 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh," Ava says.

She nods.

"Okay. Great."

This place is ridiculous.
hadyougoing: (ruh roh roh?)

"Well, I can dance ...?"

Beat.

"Only with a partner, though."

"You're kidding," Ava mutters, a mutter which is only very narrowly not a whimper.

"Fine. You first. I'll try to think of something."
hadyougoing: (I've got my doubts)

[personal profile] hadyougoing 2012-03-21 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
... See, Ava knows that one! Or she thinks she does, anyway.

Too bad it's the home team's riddle.

(On second thought: they're the visitors.)

The Fool throws back his head and laughs. "Such a terribly difficult riddle! How shall I ever find the answer, in this place where the dust of its devouring lies all around us, and it has begun to turn and devour itself?"

Spreading his hands: "Time, good master, there's your answer. Have I struck the mark?"
hadyougoing: (don't make me go carrie on your ass)

[personal profile] hadyougoing 2012-03-21 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, buddy, nobody likes a sore winner.

Ava refrains from sighing-- and from glowering-- with some effort.
onlyplacethereis: (the fool)

[personal profile] onlyplacethereis 2012-03-21 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
The Fool bows with a ridiculous flourish, and flutters one hand upward.

"What goes through the door without bending, goes through the water without a wetting, lies flat on the floor and feels no shame?"

His glance, light and mocking, goes from Andrew to Ava and back.
hadyougoing: (still think you're nuts)

[personal profile] hadyougoing 2012-03-21 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ava considers, nothing more than absent thought in her expression.

But she'd rrrreally like to get this guy.

A glance to Andrew. "Any idea?"
hadyougoing: (headtilt?)

[personal profile] hadyougoing 2012-03-21 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
... Shadows, as in knight-of?

Ava glances to the Fool-- half to see if this is the right answer, and half in suspicion.
onlyplacethereis: (the fool)

[personal profile] onlyplacethereis 2012-03-21 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Indeed!" The Fool seems as delighted at having his own riddle guessed as he was about guessing theirs.

He whirls around, arms outstretched, and tilts his head back again to sing: "By a knight of ghosts and shadows, I summoned am to tourney; ten leagues beyond the wide world's end, methinks it is no journey ..."
hadyougoing: (I don't like where this is going)

[personal profile] hadyougoing 2012-03-21 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Why do they keep saying that?" Ava asks Andrew.

Calling him a scholar made sense, she guesses sort of.
hadyougoing: (two people can keep a secret if)

[personal profile] hadyougoing 2012-03-21 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Ava's lips quirk.

"Somebody who feels no shame. Thanks, guys."
onlyplacethereis: (the fool)

[personal profile] onlyplacethereis 2012-03-21 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Andrew gives her a swift glance at that, but the Fool claps his hands sharply. "Turn about, friends. Ask me your riddle."
