Puzzling, one could say?

[memories]

if you took a hotdog bun and put #puzzlemaster official in it, would it be a sandwich?

[puzzlemaster-official]

DONT FUCKING EAT HIM

[memories]

My favorite Girl Scout Cookie are the Peppermint #puzzlemaster officials.

[puzzlemaster-official]

DONT EAT HIM

[puzzlemaster-official]

Hey… you’re Puzzlemaster, right? I… uh… need a little help with something…

@lycanthropebotc-official

oh yes, what do you need? ive been looking for something to do, so id be happy to help!

[lycanthropebotc-official]

I need to find… one of Tinker’s noisemakers. It’s very important…

[puzzlemaster-official]

those things drive me mad. I've actually acquired one while walking around

(he gives her the 9/11 one and its still blaring)

[lycanthropebotc-official]

…What does this one even… mean? What happened on… September 11th?

[puzzlemaster-official]

probably something tinker is gonna do, if her inventions ever go how he intends... Ive stopped trying to decipher all that

[lycanthropebotc-official]

…Huh. Well, I’ll get the shovel.

(Lycanthrope turned to leave.)

[puzzlemaster-official]

oh come onnn, i at least want to know what this is all going towards. Judging by all that screaming coming from your farm, i may have to assume you're torturing someone with these

[lycanthropebotc-official]

…Zenomancer. It’s for Zenomancer.

[puzzlemaster-official]

you still haven't denied that it's for torture

[lycanthropebotc-official]

It’s… it’s not torture… far from it… I’ll bury the things…

And I’ll be free for one night.

[puzzlemaster-official]

you’re saving people from torture with this?

Hello?

* @butler-official approaches the two (?), studying them for a moment.

Can you tell me what's going on around here. Me and my 'friend' moved here just recently. We'd like to understand whats going on... I heard commotion before I came over.

* He rubbed the back of his neck before both arms went limp by his sides.

Oh, hi! i wasn’t really there for too long but there was someone impersonating me and i think a fight broke out

[butler-official]

Impersonation? Is that ... normal? For this town, I mean.

But uh, thank you. For sharing some information with me. I'll keep an eye out for that then.

[puzzlemaster-official]

anything you can imagine has probably happened here, demonic possession, attempted executions of me and my best friend, getting blackmailed by my doctor, and that’s just what happened to me.

This place is crazy…

[butler-official]

Okay. Right.

* Orion fidgeted with his tie awkwardly.

I mean I suppose I've been through something similar but I was hoping one town from around this forest was.... Normal. I hope you're better now.

[puzzlemaster-official]

yeah. This whole world must be crazy. What happened back then? other demons?

[butler-official]

Oh It's a ehm. . . Rather long story. One I'm not quite comfortable sharing it was a bit recent and I'm still not over it.

Also, you can call me Orion.

[puzzlemaster-official]

Hello Orion! my name is… what is my name…

anyway, i get that, similar things happened to me… We killed the demon though, or she killed herself. Not something i expected, but knowing she was an imp, maybe it was bad luck on her part. Maybe our survival was just on her bad planning….

anyway, bye! and you can call me Soren. But puzzlemaster works.

unless you want to talk more, i don’t mind.

its almost like i still see him... that wretched face mirroring my own. I would see myself in the mirror and my face wasnt me. Those pinprick red eyes, the contortion on my face that was distinctly not mine. I was constantly haunted and nobody could tell... I would hear its voice everywhere, i could feel it underneath my skin, behind my eyes, trying to disarm me from within. Everything i thought was mine, corrupted, i couldnt even catch up with my own thoughts...

well, its done now, so i guess i dont need to cover all these reflections anymore... I still think of that creature so much its like its still here. But its ok now dont worry puzzles

well this is the end if an era for sure

[puzzlemaster-official]

This looks like a good start, i’ll bring this to him

[puzzlemaster-official]

(Mutant knocks on the door to Puzzlemasters room at the Inn)

Puzzlemaster! It's me, Empath! Someone's pretending to be you! Come quick! I think they're trying to kill Innkeeper!!

@notmutant-official

WHAT!? ill go asap

[notmutant-official]

I saw them turn all gross and Lleech-y! I'm scared.

[puzzlemaster-official]

do we know who it actually is???

[notmutant-official]

The Lleech!

[puzzlemaster-official]

but like, their bluff

[notmutant-official]

I guess it would have to be someone who is not me or Minstrel or Innkeeper, and who knows you very well.

[puzzlemaster-official]

i feel like we can rule out that "knows me well" i was the past host, maybe its just the obvious choice

[notmutant-official]

No, they know your mannerisms and stuff. The way you talk.

[puzzlemaster-official]

maybe just from spending so much time in my mind, they had to have seen at least something, although it would be much mire likely if it was

[notmutant-official]

Let's just see...

[puzzlemaster-official]

how would we see...?

[notmutant-official]

Going to where the demon is and confronting them?

[puzzlemaster-official]

uhh sure
