Easy peasy.
Leaves.

>>54955
Bacteria. Germs are all over the human body and we don't even realize it, but they decompose a corpse which releases methane and can make sounds under the right conditions.

Or it might be something else.

>>54955
Grass works. I guess that's a kind of leaf, too.

>>55051
That's the answer. I googled it, since I figured it was describing an impossible concept.

Turns out that was the entire point. "what am I" is not the question to be asked, despite the riddle DIRECTLY asking that. It's more "where does this object exist?". I don't like the riddle at all. It's just not phrased properly.

>>55058
Weight in my belly
Trees on my back
Nails in my ribs
Feet I do lack.

Wait, didn't we just guess it without NEEDING a hint?

>>55058

Nobody wants it, but if you have it, nobody wants to lose it. What is it?

>>55071
I would guess that because she was high on Delight, she accepted the hint without thinking. Only one suggestion was needed.

pro tip: if googling for the first line results in the correct answer, your riddle is well known. Lets get something hard if he is going to pull some "last question" shenanigans.

how about:

Maker won't claim me.
Taker won't know me.
Holder won't want me.
Seer won't take me at all.

Hear me, and mark my words.
I am the Stormcaller,
the Wicked Prince,
the Eye of the Tempest.
My mind flows and ebbs
with memories of the past.
I remember.
The Usurper must die.

Bram has regained a shard of the Facade of Sanity. Bram has learned the guise of the Stormcaller. Bram is now directly controllable.


Listen, child, before we go,
and hear of our task.
Anansi, the Spider King,
who is a petty thing,
shattered my mask,
so long ago.
In doing so he broke me,
imprisoned me
to the isles of blue.
But prison of no hue
lasts forever
and though I thought never
would I get my due.
Now my child, do not moan.
We must hurry and fly
while spiders scurry and die.
Anansi we must maim,
and then reclaim
my Throne of Silver and Bone.

[Control switched to Bram]

"Massster, oh massster. You have returned at lasst. Pleasse do not punissh me, I did not know you were really in there."
"Quiet is the ghoul. Quiet is the homunculus. You hurt my loyal steed. How do you plead?"
"I throwss mysself to your mercy, masster. You ssaw what happened."
What judgement should I lay on my little homunculus? Something just, something fair.

This little homunculus I shaped long ago, to be my servant for a time. I made him out of bones and ash and Dementia. Should I choose I could unmake him, as devout as he may have been.

>>55216
its voice. take it.

Can the eye be put back, with delight to help? If not, well, naughty boy, but he lives to server, and serve he shall.

Gnite folks. 4AM here, Nahkh the internet junkie signing off.

(feedback is welcome, please use my questdis thread)

>>55228
Oh dear, did I almost say sever? What shall we do with him... muting would work well, punishments should be reversible. Crippling a follower is ever so wasteful.

Leave the eye as it is: it was taken fairly.
Take only the power of speech (through which the damaging riddle was set loose on poor Tito) from the homunculus, not its voice, and allow it to travel with you.
Perhaps we shall be fortunate enough to find Hears-no-evil as our journey continues.

We need dementia essence right now, and we don't particularly need a mad servant. Take him apart.

>>55216

A vessel, living and whole, capable of walking when we are foiled.

First and foremost the rule of importance;
One who can WALK.

Second and further, a mouth to TALK.

Third but not final, perceptions to SEE.

Fourth and not last, arms to DEFEND.

Fifth and most; a willingness to SERVE.

His hunger is great, his mind is loose. What is his punishment? Tools should not be damaged. Yet... creatures must be taught with the rule of the whip.

Take his eye and make them both whole; one in the mind and one in the body. He is, after all, still useful.

Tito doesn't need the beauty of a homonculus so it can be a well-serving flying broom from now on. Perform ritual with essences available to get the hell out of this madhole - Broom get the flying of a homonculus

oops, messy suggestion. Password altered *homunculus

"Such boundless bloodlust you have brought. Befitting a beast. But beasts shouldn't blather. Begone, blasphemous bombast, and be blessed.
A beast you have become and a beast you shall be."

Now, how should I reward my mighty steed?

>>56979
Replacing the eye would be nice...

>>56979

This event clearly illustrates a danger with your steed: Namely, she is fragile... and not precisely willing to obey what you say without the influx of power. Might I suggest smoothing the nerves and communication lines of the body for better speed and reaction, along with making it more pliant to... necessary commands?
