How much darling?
I'm no good at riddles.

What the riddle means is that while in Jumanji, we must be careful about things we see on the ground. Because these objects might be able to help us, we need to take care of them, and must not let them get damaged or anything.
Now come on, we're almost there!
*The group continues forward, and sure enough, the path leads to a small and well lit chamber with another pair of large double doors bearing the image of the sun (and causing Pulg to be set aflame while looking at it).*
Well took an age to reach I must say!
*Goes over to the doors and tries to open them.*
Great, it's locked!
I can enter Stephen Stills if I'm polite?
Non merci.
Honore! You're supposed to be on lockdown! Get back in your pyramid this minute!

*Looks at Comte de Malodor.*
So you made it. What were you thinking by disturbing that lion?
*Turns to the doors.*
It's so simple, this is what the riddle means.
*Knocks on the doors. And sure enough, they open.*
Alright, let us get a move on.
*Uncle Honore is suddenly flattened under a pyramid that came out of nowhere (along with yet another nameless adventurer) as the rest of us head onwards.*

It's like the whole speak friend to enter business. I may not know riddle but I know my Tolkien!
You must say yoah to open the doah.
Yar if you want to open the dargh.
YAAARRRRHHHH!
Thank goodness no actual pirates are here.
Because they would be really offended.
Arh, we be broadminded types.
'Owever, Comte, afore ye offers to do the Lightbulb Trick... not that broadminded.

Thought there was going to be more tests.
*Happily shrugs.*
No matter, let's see what's what.
*We're standing in a massive, well lit, room made from polished marble with a giant lion statue (also made of marble) in the centre of the room and it's eyes are large rubies. The walls are covered in an intricate decoration with words being written in between. It appears that there's another door on the opposite side of the room, behind the statue.*
*Checks out the lion statue.
It has eyes same color as my necklace.
*Looks at Comte de Malodor.*
So you made it. What were you thinking by disturbing that lion?
That wasn't me - it was Juliette. She's always wanted to get it on with a Thundercat.
Harhey, does that make her a Thundercat Ho!?
No, it does not.
Stand still, you little object, while I guide this flock of Abyssal stirges up your urethra.
Lion like a dog on the flora.

*While Lady Blackmoor brutally maims her brother and Chuck Les, I walk over to the statue, where Schism is inspecting it and looking at her necklace.*
Most intriguing, the statue's eyes should be shooting out beams of red light onto the walls to show us which clue we need to look at. Regardless of the relevance.
*Turns to Schism, who's still looking at her necklace.*
Please may I borrow your newly acquired trinket Schism?
“Here, I got this... “ *Produces a bundle of dynamite sticks, lights the fuse with a stinky cigar, and flings it to the base of the statue. Ka-BOOM!*
“That should do it.”
that sounds ominous.
What about Chumancheese?
Can if you want to. When jumanji kills you, it’s neither painful, nor permanent.
Like messin’ with Texas; you kind of have to.
I only use Texas as the name for one of my smashes because Texas is so large....
|
|
I bet it is.
*Looks at the group in a despondent manner.*
And for the record, Jumanji LIKES inflicting pain.
*Raises left arm to show that a large and vicious fuzz ball (that is literally no eyes and all teeth), chomping on it.*
Case in point, this berbalang.
*Manages to pull the creature off and throw it on the floor, then crush it with my foot. Revealing it's actually a machine.*
One of the many things Ibsen makes, hence why it bears no resemblance to what an actual berbalang looks like or behaves.
Only if you promise to give it back.
*Holds out the necklace.
|
|
I promise.
*Gently takes the necklace and holds it in front of the statue.*
Maybe if I can align the eyes.
*As the elephant comes in line with the eyes of the statue, two beams of red light shoot out of the statue's eyes, each one highlighting a section of wall. One beam on the left wall and the other beam on the right wall.*
There we are, thank you Schism.
*Returns the necklace to Schism.*
Now let's see what we have here.
*Walks over to the left wall and reads the highlighted clue:*
"For those who are chosen,
There's no lessons to learn.
Just survive for many nights,
And you'll end your turn."
*Goes to the right wall and reads the highlighted clue there:*
"Worlds apart, brought together,
Sure to bring stormy weather.
End your gripes, act as one,
It's the only way things get done".
*Moves back to the centre of the room, depressed.*
Guess that means we're all buggered then.
Eh I've been buggered before. Got to keep your head up.
Hmm. I wonder who would win. Allmight, or One Punch Man?
One punch man. It's in his name. It's all about their story. 1 punch man is written as being unbeatable. Plus if you go by feats of str the whole getting knocked to the moon without injury and then jumping back is way bigger then anything all might has done. I say while still liking all might a lot more.
Only a few heros I can think of that has similar feats as Saitama one being superman who has also been knocked from the moon to earth un-injured and has demonstrated speed and str even greater. Doesn't mean 1 punch can't do more but he just hasn't demonstrated it.
Eh I've been buggered before. Got to keep your head up.
Er, TMI?
Or maybe you just have a dirty mind? You'll never know.
Oh, I know I have a dirty mind, but is there a family-friendly definition for the word 'buggered', considering what it's generally supposed to mean?
|
|
There is, which is the definition I'm using.
Because, if the clues actually apply to us (and are not one of Jumanji's nasty little jokes), then we're going to be in serious trouble.
*Points to the clue on the left wall.*
That one is stating that Comte de Malodor, Schism (and her MANY personalities), Goattoucher and myself are stuck here trying our best to stay alive until Jumanji decides to send us home.
*Points to the clue on the right wall.*
And that states how all of us come from separate realities and that we don't exactly get along with the only way to survive is to work together (something that just won't happen, no matter how hard wearing try).
If Jumanji is talking about those of us transported here, then we have problems. Thanks Comte.
If by together it means me as a whole, I think we can settle our differences and do it. Provided I can do it one at a time.
I could always put Comte under a compulsion.
My f(r)iend Belphegor has been teaching me things.

Casts siren song on self while shifting personalities.

Who knows? It's anyone's guess really?
Either way, Jumanji ain't telling.
And do what you want to Comte de Malodor.
It'll help make the rest of us feel better.
No. Do not do vhat you vant to hhhusbant.
Do vhat *I* vant to hhhhusbant.

Put that giant yellow bird in a maid's outfit and we're good to go.
