10-Dictated

[jimfromit]

Saay I've got a fabulous idea whilst we're waiting for the next "crazy" thing to happen around here...a brain teaser!

Lets see which one of you brainiacs can solve this riddle the quickest.

For some I go fast
for others I'm slow.
To most people, I'm an obsession
relying on me is a well practiced lesson.

Go on...a little intellectual stimulation hurts nobody.

[ ...Kaito can't help the amusement he's feeling at how well that describes the four genius teenagers of Japan. He, himself would be the one always running, The Osakan would be the one that always eats, Hakuba might fit thirst with his unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and it is never good for anyone if Kudo Shinichi tries to sing. ]

[ Obviously, that isn't the answer and he, being a master of difficult riddles knows there's always a twist to them.They always have a simple solution. The descriptions alone tell him that the answer does not pertain to any kind of human. So what did he know of that could run and never stop? And Similarly what always ate but was never full? ]

[ If he can figure out one of those the answer should present it's self immediately afterward as it will relate to the other three. Something that runs and never stops... A river could be described as running-and for that matter a sink left on often was described as running water. Water huh? And brother that eats and is never full? If it's related to water the answer can only be fire. It can starve, but the more it consumed the stronger and longer it's sure to burn. Water and Fire are easily linked by the four elements. Four Elements-Four brothers. ]

[ It doesn't take him long to answer, just a brief mental check to ensure everything made sense with the riddle. If takes him a little under a minute to come up with the answer. ]

Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind, isn't it?

[jimfromit]

Very good.

Maybe there's potential for you yet.

[moonlightmagician]

To be fair, you gave me another easy one. [ He doesn't not feel impressed at all ]

[jimfromit]

You know...you're starting to sound like an old friend of mine.

[moonlightmagician]

Are they good with riddles too? Because I doubt if anyone can beat me at them.

[jimfromit]

Very much so. He's the best entertainment I have when he's not being stubborn and boring.

[moonlightmagician]

Hey, I know someone like that-two someones, actually.

[jimfromit]

...One of them doesn't dress in a long coat, and have hair that looks like it hasn't seen a comb in over a decade?

[moonlightmagician]

No- the one that wears a long coat takes good care of his hair-he has a weird habit of running his fingers through it when he's being particularly snobbish. The other one's just a brat.
