Riddles

[Starwhip]

Oh, are they mangrove seeds? (The shaft-things that you find in the water)

[Xannari Ferrows]

Oh for the love of...

Okay this is pretty painful. Like... It's always harder trying to resist giving the answer. How will I sleep tonight with this?

Halp!

[Starwhip]

I know, it's bad.

Uhm... ah...

"Hooks" is throwing me the hell off. Hints?

[Bill Phil]

Near the coastline?

In water or on land?

Barnacles? Starfish? An object that follows the riddle.

Barnacles? Starfish? An object that follows the riddle.

Not that close. But really, Barnacles don't hurt you? Umm... tell that to my grandpa. Face. Full. Of. Barnacles.

Time for some more hints: Still as unforgiving as Castlevania II

Answer 1:

Natures extraordinary creative display,

It's amazing what these things portray.

Life, giving, care, growth,

Through seeds it births, that is it's oath.

Answer 2:

My warriors rest upon my skin,

Ready to strike upon our ascension.

A vital importance for all of nature,

So once small switch will result in denature.

[Bill Phil]

Trash? Sand?

[Xannari Ferrows]

Trash? Sand?

I don't really think those fit the hints... And also, a bit too close.

Someone save me. It's hard. [Wait, no that sounds to wrong. Can we get that edited out? ...No!? Why not!!?]

[Starwhip]

Jellyfish?

(I'm lost)

[Bill Phil]

I'm not even trying anymore. It's just too vague...

Can repost the riddle on the newest page? That way I can read it while I type.

[Xannari Ferrows]

Oh for the love of god help me.

Do you just want the answer? I could PM you. If SOMEONE, be it here or on Crescendo does not answer it tonight, I will lose my mind.

Born from the same tree,

Yet destined for different fates.

We all bear children,

Who all have their waits.

The mother of us will die,

But we will not mourn.

Instead we cheer on

For our brothers will soon be born.

A scary sight, the first few looks,

But nothing to fear, we don't use these hooks.

An obvious answer it may seem,

But out of 2 correct ones, you find it's missing.

[Bill Phil]

Turtles?

Some kind of bird?

[Xannari Ferrows]

I need an aspirin. I'll be right back...

Vexx, how do you do it?

[Bill Phil]

Just be careful with vagueness. Some lines can refer to certain things. Others can refer to other things. the whole riddle can have thirty answers in some cases. It's a learned skill. For the most part.

[Xannari Ferrows]

Brenden just found the answer! He's a Crescendo buddy.

So, I guess the next riddle I get will be his?

Regardless, vagueness aside, I could probably clear up some of that right here:

EVERYTHING IS LITERAL

[Bill Phil]

So, what was the answer?

[Xannari Ferrows]

...What? Oh NO does that actually happen? Is this happening?

...Wait right here.

EDIT: Everyone is going to feel like an idiot when the answer is revealed. I swear, you'll all want my head.

[Starwhip]

I think he died. :evilgrin:

[Bill Phil]

He PM'ed me the answer...

It's all literal. And it involves a thing that has plant cells in it.

[vexx32]

I need an aspirin. I'll be right back...

Vexx, how do you do it?

I just laugh. It's very amusing how close some people will get without managing to make the final leap. Of course, that might be in part to me subtly misdirecting them in very small ways, but I don't need to do a lot.

Hmm... advice taken to brain [or at least what's left of it]

Another thing to ask: How would you rate the difficulty of this riddle? Mr. Bill Phil knows the answer now, and it's nowhere near the infernal hellhole difficulty of yours, but... say, 1-100?

[vexx32]

I'd say a solid 75-80 or so.

Not bad

[cantab]

Well I gave up on it. I couldn't even come up with vaguely sensible guesses.

[Starwhip]

I'm out too.

Unless it is a caterpillar.

[TheMoonRover]

Family?

Friends?

Trees?

Elves? (Or something like that)

Coconuts?

Seeds of some sort?

Leaves?

Blossom?

[Norpo]

Er, flowers? trees? grass?
