Twelfth Report; Father's Day

((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.))

No.

[ This is going to go on forever. ]

Masks... are they hidin' somethin'?

((brb setting up a tape recorder that says 'no' on command... any command.))

Nothing at all!

[ Wow rude. ]

Then are they workin' with this house-owner guy?

Edited 2012-06-18 18:00 (UTC)

No, not even remotely.

So they're against the house owner guy.

Yes. Or rather, one definitely is; the other is a "frienemy" you could say.

[ Seems to brighten a little. ]

Uh. Debt collectors.

[ Nope... ]

((/Shatters his dream.))

((Clive laughs, though only in jest.)) If it were debt collectors in this situation, I don't know if "frienemy" is the word I would use for either of them!

In any case, no; no such thing in this situation.

Debt collectors can be frienemies. [ Example: Tom. ]

Alright, uh. Is it their job to be there?

It is, yes.

... If it's not firefighters...

You sure it's not Halloween?

I am sure. Besides, who's heard of trick-or-treating as an actual job?

It's a job?

Then they are firefighters.

Why didn't you just say that the first time.

You asked if it was a job, and I said yes.

Then you asked if they were trick-or-treaters, and I say no.

You've already asked me if they are fire fighters, which they are not.

So, more or less, you're disregarding your own questions and asking ones that have mild connection, which, in the end, bring you right back into a circle. Tiptoeing around the answer, instead of spiralling toward the centre, and eventually, to success.

Then again, that's just my take on it.

Look, if you don't help me I can't help you. If you already know the answer, you should just spill.

'Cause I'm just gonna leave you to figure it out yourself. [ Oh yeah, Clive. You'll be on your own. ]

... ((laughing.)) Oh, heaven forbid I can't answer my very own puzzle.... what a conundrum.

[ Scowls. ] I hate sarcasm.

Well, what do you expect? I know the answer to the puzzle, and I've known it even before I told it, of course, and assuming you're the one helping me solve it..?

((sighs!))

[ Shizuo scratches the back of his head, giving an impatient huff. ]

Don't expect any help from me later on, then. Ingrate.

Ah, I wouldn't trouble myself asking.

[ It's a good thing you can't see his face. ]

Good!

Fine!

[ Grumble grumble... click! He hung up on you. ]
