In amongst all these awfully important questions, I think a riddle is in order. An oldie, but a goodie, in my humble opinion.

Everyone was on a first name basis until suddenly someone got something in his eye. What happened?

If you get the right answer, you'll get nothing but the satisfaction that you got it right.

[No, wait, he can make it fun for him, too.]

...That and a mystery gift.

Now I may have heard things another way. Rumour mill, and all that.

Why am I not surprised?

[onlyanapple]

Well, you know people. They oh so do love to talk.

[hasmommyissues]

Oh so true, so true.

It truly is like a knitting circle round here at the best of times.

It's been much the same since I arrived. Some things never change, it's just the gossiping grannies who are different.

[hasmommyissues]

Now that makes me sad.

You would think living with a vindictive magical castle would give them enough to gossip about already yes?

[onlyanapple]

You would, but alas. The private lives one one another are always far more appealing.

[hasmommyissues]

You know ... this place is just crying out for a gossip column.

I'm amazed one hasn't taken off yet.
