Congratulations, I am now sealed within a miracle.
Of course, my congratulations go to the ones capable of such a thing.
Witches should be able to summon and control gods, not the other way around.
So bravo. My heartfelt feelings of applause go out to you, divine captors.
I’ve been truly shamed.

With that out of the way, may I pose a riddle to the rest of your captured?

I am a baldfaced liar, tinged with reddened shame.
You’ll never know me for who I am, for that is just my name.
Astutely bold, encased in gold, I am the one to blame.

I hail the northeast seas as home, but I have not forgotten,
The Swiss mountains I was born, from a time long dead and rotten.
If you’re lost, I’m sitting on the tip of your tongue, it’s…
Who am I?

For who solves it… I will return something that I have taken in this City that everyone needs.
Good luck.

[ ooc; Though I’d love for you to OOCly give it a try, if your character is smart enough to figure it out, PM me ahead of time and I’ll give the answer. I have no intention of giving a riddle too hard to solve when characters ICly can! ]

You know, most people would just have a housewarming party when they move somewhere new.

Can't say I saw anything missing when I went out today. You sure you got the right 'something'?

[mirakills]

I'm very sure I have something everyone needs.
In fact, it was one of the first things I took when I got here.

[timmers]

Don't tell me: you took a road sign.

[mirakills]

Right line of thinking, wrong 'thing'.
I'm very saddened people thought it was a threat and not another riddle.

[timmers]

Nobody's screaming, you could say I'm used to a lot worse.

Alright, is it something I can touch?

[alchemyfreak]

we're not captured.

As far as you taking something, that's not really how you make new friends.

[He's not even remotely amused.]

[mirakills]

Oh? Then what would you describe this as?

That's a shame. I'm just curious if someone can solve my riddle, and I felt people might be... unmotivated with no stakes.

[alchemyfreak]

The people here describe it as an accident.

I've been captured by gods and sent through portals by witches, and I've spent a lot of time trying to poke holes in this place's story. There are none.

[Dante's not... technically a witch, but details.]

Your riddle makes no sense, but maybe that's because there aren't any Swiss mountains here.

[Or where he's from, for that matter.]

[mirakills]

So you're not going to try the second riddle of what I've taken? How boring.

[ She files away the former information for future use, but for now is content with the topic at hand. ]

No gods or witches took us. Science did.

[mirakills]

Ah, of course.
In that case I'm not very surprised. To rip a magical entity from its plane of existence and reality...
Is probably only something mankind can do.

[apt666]

Mankind does try to push the limit, doesn't it?

[mirakills]

It does.
In the end, they're the only thing that seems to make a difference.
... I should say sapient beings, given where we are though.

Doesn't seem real fair that you took something from all of us but your shitty riddle looks kinda Earth-centric

[mirakills]

There's two riddles in the post.
The 'Earth-centric' one as you put it, and the thing that everyone needs.
I assure you everyone can solve the latter.

[spellslots]

Something that everyone needs, huh?
Well I've still got my dick so it's not that 🤔🤔🤔

[mirakills]

Rest assured.
And as a hint, obviously not oxygen or water.

@lightemup

[umbrastaff]

Did you not get a briefing like everyone else did or what?

[Ignores the riddle, whoops.]

[mirakills]

My first action upon gaining consciousness was to return to the sea of kakera.
It did not go so well.

[umbrastaff]

Guess you should hop back and get yourself some info before you go threatening a whole place of innocent people, huh?

[mirakills]

It's not a threat, it's a riddle. 'Something I have taken in this City that everyone needs'.
It doesn't mean air, or food, or the secret mechanism keeping this place running. Think outside of the box.

This is a good riddle. I'll have to think about this. I do love a good word challenge.

As for what you took, assuming its not like the nuclear reactor to the city.

[mirakills]

Precisely.
Think of it as a second riddle, not a... threat, per se.
What I have taken is needed by everyone but not a threat if one takes it.
That's your hint.

[holds_up_walls]

Well needed by everyone but not a threat.

Let's go with a business sign. People may not be able to find the business without the sign.

[mirakills]

Not quite. I’ll give you a chance to try again.

[ or as many chances as he wants, really ]
