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.))

That isn't a yes or no answer.

[abstruse]

I did say you might receive some variant of the two answers. Unfortunately, or perhaps due to good fortune, the world is not black and white. Asking if he's "pleased" to see them is not going to get you a black-and-white answer.

Perhaps if you don't like the answer I've given you, then the question itself was not something that needed to be asked?

[hullonurse]

Very well. Was he expecting to see them there?

[abstruse]

Yes!

[hullonurse]

Were they expecting him?

[abstruse]

Hmm...
Likely, yes.

[hullonurse]

[Well, that probably rules out thieves.] Are the masks part of a costume?

[abstruse]

Not a part of a costume.

[hullonurse]

You're bad at this. [That wasn't just "no"! England is the worst at taking hints.] If it was a disguise he wouldn't have known them so... Some kind of protective wear?

[abstruse]

Careful about blaming others for your own faults, dear.

And yes, it is protective gear.

[hullonurse]

[...] Is "home" the building where he lives?

[abstruse]

No.

It seems you're getting close.

[hullonurse]

Is "home" the name of another building?

[abstruse]

No, it isn't.
