Twelfth Report; Father's Day

[abstruse]

((Audio;))
Father's day! Ah, a lovely day, I will say; remembering the male who, hopefully, raised us all with love and care. No, I'm not about to ask all of you about your fathers--I'm not really the intrusive sort, though...! I do have a sort of puzzle for all of you. It's one that I would love to tell my own father.


PUZZLE 011: Two masked men

The puzzle works like this. I'm going to tell you a scenario, and using yes or no questions you must deduce exactly what is happening in this situation. I can only answer yes or no--or other variants of those two answers--so make sure to ask the right questions! No limit to how many you ask, of course... Here's your scenario:

A man leaves home and, after making three left turns, he ends up back at home, and finds two masked men waiting for him.

So, can you deduce what's happening here?

((ooc; wow i forgot to add that this is audio. Okay whatever i just like my htmls.))

It will be for some, but I'm afraid that we aren't talking about the aftermath in this case.

[shortestfuse]

Why would he take three left turns? Sounds like an idiot.

audio; don't ask how text got there

[abstruse]

If you figured out the situation, he would seem quite unlike an idiot, I would say. But of course, a narrow field of vision will doom a person to thinking incorrectly.

[hullonurse]

How he ended up back at home is fairly obvious. Did he know the two men?

Re: Text

[abstruse]

Hmm!
I would say yes.

[kungfublackfrog]

Taking a shot and saying they're playing baseball.

The three left turns referring to the three bases, home meaning 'home plate' and the two men are the catcher and umpire, right?

Re: [Audio]

[abstruse]

Precisely that!

voice.

[dewebbed]

Hmmm. [ a pause ] Well, it's father's day, right? Maybe those guys are his parents!

[ he doesn't actually believe that, but he's thinking it over ]

Re: voice.

[abstruse]

It's possible, but whether or not they're his parents is completely irrelevant.

Who came up with a day like that? My so called 'dad' is a organic life form called a masu who was joined with my mothers egg cell to help create me. Hardly a father.

[Will never consider it one either. NEWP. Never.]

Other than he's supposedly going to get mugged?

[We are the best at puzzles.]

Re: [Video]

[abstruse]

I doubt it has to be your genetic father; celebrating one's adoptive father would be legitimate. Assuming you had one. Of course, it's not as though you have to celebrate.

And no, he's not about to be mugged.

The guy's blind and got home to find that his house was being robbed? Or perhaps the guy had some weird fetish and hired those two to have their way with him.

Re: (text)

[abstruse]

I'm afraid not! On both accounts.

{Audio} how do i spelling

[mysterycross]

Are the men thieves?

Re: {Audio} words are lame

[abstruse]

Thankfully, no.

Action or audio if he's not in the house?

[tapshoetomove]

Hmmm...

[Luke's thinking pretty hard on that puzzle! He's not quite an expert puzzler yet, only having been with the Professor for a short time.]

action!

[abstruse]

Puzzling?

((Oh yes this is a Clive. He has a calm sort of smile as he looks at Luke. My.... It felt so strange to see him so many years younger than he remembered...))

audio;

[waytoopatient]

[There's a giggle as the audio clicks on. It helps that this has given her rather fond memories of her own father, she supposes.]

Another puzzle, Clive? [It's been a while since the last one, anyways...she almost sounds excited.] I wouldn't mind giving it a shot this time.

Re: audio;

[abstruse]

What can I say... It's my favourite pastime! Tell me, what's your first guess?

[eyeforaneye]

It sounds as if the ANBU need him for an assignment.

[abstruse]

No, I'm afraid. ((He doesn't need to know what the ANBU are to know you're wrong.))


...Though, I wonder if the answer would even make any sense to you.

[fierybluebird]

Father's Day already, is it?

[Oops. He's feeling kind of guilty. He meant to make a memorial or something for his Pops, but oh well... he'll just set aside some sake for later.]

Were you close with your father then? [Yeah Clive might not be intrusive but oh well, Marco didn't say he wouldn't be.]

[abstruse]

Ah, yes and no. I respected him and his work, but he was often more dedicated to it than family matters. Still, he raised me well. ((when he was able to...))


((ooc; btw did you see the whitebeard reserve?))

[video] -- I couldn't resist this

[justicereigns]

Nice job to the hitter on scoring a home run?

Re: [video] glorious +_+!

[abstruse]

Haha excellent! I'm beginning to think some of you have answered this puzzle before!

[Voice; ... oddly fitting keywords.]

[crowsong]

He returned to the place he started, full-circle?

[Gin finds games a useless waste of time, but in a place like this, he could use something to keep his mind from slipping away.]

Re: [Voice;] omg they are hahahah

[abstruse]

Indeed.
