Cookie Thread Act 2: Silksong

[Magnus]

Waiting on Litten and Benguin to consolidate their thoughts into one post each.

[benguinedparbecue]

i think i have actually seen variations of this riddle before. but i choose to stick with my answers they’re better

[Litten]

My conspiracy theory is much more funnier than reality

[Litten]

You grew attached to this stranger, however, this stranger was going home and you were scared yoy were never going to see each other again

[Magnus]

@Litten

You didn’t want him to be out of fashion trends

This was the best answer.

[Litten]

I agree

[Litten]

Alternatively, they were already dying and you just killed them to get them out of life support

Who knows

[Magnus]

One post.

[Litten]

this was a lot funnier when I was trying to figure out why someone had funeral clothes before a funeral

[May]

Illness going around and you pull your cousin’s life support (not my answer)

[Litten]

@Litten

You grew attached to this stranger, however, this stranger was going home and you were scared yoy were never going to see each other again

We going with this one

[Hazardwaste]

i think the fact you are thinking this deeply to get the empathetic answer is worse then just saying the psychotic answer

[Litten]

It was either this or because the guy was a mafia member who paid yoy

THERE’S A RAISIN IN MY TRAIL MIX THAT I PICKED THE RAISINS OUT OF

[Magnus]

@Magnus

Imagine it’s a Christmas. A young child is visited by Santa and is given two presents: a Soccer ball and a bicycle, but the kid wasn’t happy. Why not?

@TodaysStory

easy. no limbs

@Litten

They found out Santa isn’t real

@benguinedparbecue

this is just a fundamental attribution error test. clearly the kid already has a soccer ball and a bicycle (or the bike isn’t their size and it’s clearly just for the parent who bought it)

@May

The child has undiagnosed chronic pain and all forms of exercise are deeply and intensely miserable and they assumed their whole life that other people who seemed to enjoy them were just particularly masochistic.

@Hazardwaste

Because he is in a wheel chair paralysed from the waist down.

@Magnus

You are robbing a house in the dead of night. The homeowner leaves their bedroom and sees you, and runs to hide in the closet. You see this happen, and you have a knife. What do you do?

Responses

Summary

@Litten

barricade the closet

@benguinedparbecue

if they didn’t see my face i’m just moving on and finding another house. not worth the murder charges i just came there to steal shit

@May

It’s the dead of night, the light is off, I’m smart enough to rob a stranger instead of someone I know. There’s no reason to upgrade this to a risk of a murder charge when them tattling won’t do all that much damage. When I leave the room, they’re likely to call the cops, so gotta be careful on the way out, but… like… I’m not gonna stab them LOL

@TodaysStory

leave, steal their car, ditch it in the woods and hitch hike home

@Hazardwaste

Leave him be. take what you need and destroy nothing of sentimental value and leave.

@Magnus

You live in an apartment on the fifth floor, still late at night. Before heading to bed, you look out the window and witness a murderer killing someone in an adjacent building. This killer sees you as well. Immediately, the killer points at you and flicks their finger up and down a few times. What is the killer signalling?

Responses

Summary

@May

Do they want me to not be a witness? Most people killing people have some motive and aren’t just doing it to kill people. I doubt it means I’m next. Turning out the lights doesn’t help me not be a witness, really, though.

@Litten

Why would they be flicking their finger up and down anyway

@benguinedparbecue

it might be a “you’re next if you report this” symbol but. how the fuck are they gonna get to me i’m on the fifth floor. can’t get to me by window. if i lock and barricade the door you’re not getting in bozo

@Magnus

Imagine that you and your family go to your aunt’s funeral. Everyone’s mourning, but while you’re there, you meet a stranger. You hit it off immediately, you become instant friends. This stranger has black hair and wears dark clothing, as befitting funeral wear. The next night, you kill your cousin. Why?

Responses

Summary

@May

Cousin’s fiance

@TodaysStory

see the stranger again?

@Litten

You grew attached to this stranger, however, this stranger was going home and you were scared yoy were never going to see each other again

@benguinedparbecue

it’s possible that you were just a psychopath already. may have even been the one to kill your aunt in the first place. and the guy’s just a red herring. maybe the guy was shinigami giving you the death note and you just really don’t like your cousin. as in the jd scenario the death could just be a complete accident. too many possible answers.

@Hazardwaste

if the stranger was a real person then I would have just asked for their number but the way this is set out you can only see the stranger at funerals in turn. You are committing a murder cause you want to see the embodiment of the grim reaper again.

[Litten]

This was an answer I had before I read the first sentence

[benguinedparbecue]

i love to overanalyze hypothetical scenarios and you can’t stop me from doing it

[Litten]

@Hazardwaste

i think the fact you are thinking this deeply to get the empathetic answer is worse then just saying the psychotic answer

hazard, I don’t think this is an empathy test

[Hazardwaste]

never said it was.

i am saying your thinking hard to be as empathetic as possible

[Magnus]

THE NEXT ONE IS MULTIPLE CHOICE.
