Well, as pleasant as this star system is, and as much as I don't want to say the 'B' word and incite horrible things upon us, I feel the need to fill my time a little bit. So I've decided to stretch your minds a little bit with some riddles. Because why the hell not. Answer as many or as few as you like.

RIDDLE THE FIRST:

There was once a wealthy old man with three sons. He was coming to the end of his life and instead of dividing his money up equally amongst them like a normal person would, he decided to set his sons a task. He gave them each a paltry sum of coins, and told them to buy something to fill a room with. (Before you ask, the room is the same one each time)

The first son bought some bales of hay, but he didn't have enough to fill the room with. The second bought a bunch of rock, but these, too, failed to fill the room. The third son bought two things with his coins, and together, they filled the room and he inherited his father's fortune.

What did he buy?

RIDDLE THE SECOND:

There is a dead man in the centre of a field. He carried with him an unopened package. Before he got into the field, he knew he was going to die. How?

RIDDLE THE THIRD (spoilers: this one is the easy one):

I'm at the end of time and space, at the beginning of the end, and at the end of life. What am I?

Oh well done, you got all of them but the middle one. I'm impressed.

[Don't be silly, Crowley doesn't give points.]

Thank you. I've been practising riddles all month.

Um...then the field was bear country and the package was full of meat?

Do I even want to know why?

Nope, afraid not.

For dates, mostly. It's easier for me to learn riddles so I can get into Spirit establishments than it is for Clay to learn how to brawl to get into Moxie ones.

Then...what is it?

That makes sense.

Why don't you ever have a date in my bar? :(

What, you expect me to just give your the answer?

Do you really want me to answer that question?

It's encrypted, it's not like anyone else will see!

I have a feeling it will be something to do with the actually delicious and not pig-slop food so probably not.

Okay, fine. His parachute failed.

Oh no, your food's wonderful. It's easily the best part of the best part of the place Dezel's an absolutely amazing cook. The fact it's not served on plates however...

Oh. I wouldn't have guessed that.
