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.))

Technical difficulties.

[eyeforaneye]

That doesn't tell me very much.

[abstruse]

I'm not a baseball player. I can't be more detailed than that.

[eyeforaneye]

Then it does not seem like a good puzzle for you.

[abstruse]

((smirks.)) No, you're right. I prefer hands on puzzles. Puzzles with real application.

[eyeforaneye]

I would prefer that also. Sitting and thinking is pointless if you do not take action.

[abstruse]

Pre-emptively is fine.... and honestly, puzzles like these are just like exercise for the mind. I work my brain as much s you work your body.

[eyeforaneye]

If that is what you want to train your mind to do, I suppose.

I am not bad at math or literature, that kind of thing.

[abstruse]

What sort of books do you like...?

[eyeforaneye]

I have read some on history. Poetry.

[abstruse]

You never struck me as the poetry type.

[eyeforaneye]

It is basic. My family had some interest in the arts. Old works.

[abstruse]

Ah ha. Though do you enjoy it...?

[eyeforaneye]

[ Enjoy...? To enjoy something? ]

I haven't thought about it like that. I think it has value as long as it isn't all a person does.

[abstruse]

You haven't though if you've enjoyed something....?

[eyeforaneye]

[ ... ]

No. I haven't. It is what it is.

[abstruse]

Ah, I'm sure there's something, you just can't think of it.

[eyeforaneye]

Maybe.

Perhaps a long time ago I thought about it like that.

[abstruse]

How practical of you.

[eyeforaneye]

Trying to think about things a different way sounds challenging. [ For so long he's focused on his goal and nothing else; perhaps there's a part of him that misses childish things or seeking out enjoyment... and yet acknowledging that part is troubling. ]

[abstruse]

Implying that you may want to try enjoying something? ((A cockeyed smile.))

[eyeforaneye]

[ Whether it's a joke or not, Sasuke frowns to himself. ]

It's not necessary.

[abstruse]

...I'm sure we'll find something.

[eyeforaneye]

There's no need for it.

[abstruse]

Too late! I've made it my next puzzle to solve. I can't be stopped, either, Sasuke; the challenge is too tempting.
