So, I'm here as a third party, a friend of mine has some questions of the magical variety and you're the first person I thought of who might be able to help her out.
[/Felix]

[That done, Crowley has been busying his time by finding a labelling machine and dutifully labelling everything in the house. This little venture will prove why you shouldn't allow a bored demon loose with a labelling machine. He starts off small; 'TV' and 'Refrigerator', before moving onto more irritating and obvious 'Spoon' and 'Grape'. When he's labelled everything in the common areas of the house, he starts helpfully labelling his housemates things. You know, so they have something FUN to come home to.

That done, it's the matter of the housemates not on a stupid trip. Gale's lucky (largely because Crowley doesn't want Ino to get violent) only suffering an 'Ino's Piece of Ass' label on his and Ino's door. Tsuna, on the other hand, is far less lucky. Tsuna himself, while he's asleep, has been lovingly given the label 'Stupid Hair Kid' right across his forehead, which sets the theme for the rest of his room. 'Stupid Hair Kid's Wardrobe', 'Stupid Hair Kid's Toothbrush' and so on. It's a lot of work, really. Tsuna had best be appreciative of it. Now he'll never lose anything ever again.

Or forget that he has stupid hair]

[That hard work done, Crowley settles in his favourite chair with a glass of wine and his open journal]

Here, Paradisa, have a riddle. I feel it's a riddle sort of day.

A couple feared for the safety of their child, so they went out and bought four glasses and a bottle of vodka. Why?

[fanstheflame]

[Gale is in the middle of peeling the labels off his boots. he can tell right from left, you know]. That's easy... They figured it'd distract you from labeling him to death.

[onlyanapple]

[Gale no, he put those there for YOU]

Well, it would but that's not the right answer.

[fanstheflame]

But there isn't enough information. .... What are they afraid of? A lot of things can kill someone. Vodka doesn't stop.... well, most of them.

[onlyanapple]

Of course it's not enough information. If it had a lot of information it wouldn't be a riddle.

[not_mafia]

[From his room:]

What the heck?!

/dictated

[fanstheflame]

Labels.... And let me make it a little easier to guess: it wasn't me.

Dictated!

[not_mafia]

... why do I get this feeling that this didn't stop at my room?

[fanstheflame]

Ding ding ding.

[onlyanapple]

[Cheerfully calling]

Oh, is something the matter?

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna's door swings open, and he looks irritated.]

Did you really have to label my entire room?! Jeez!

[Yeah, he hasn't even noticed the label on his forehead yet, but he sure does notice all the labels, well. Everywhere else.]

... what the...

[ol_northy]

Well, you've stumped me.

[onlyanapple]

I wouldn't angst about it too much, I stump a lot of people.

[ol_northy]

I'm definitely not angsting. I'd like to know the answer, though.

[i_got_this]

I dunno, but I like their solution.

Filtered to Crowley

Go ahead and drag it out for this guy, he's my brother.

[onlyanapple]

I thought you might, somehow.

[South]

Ahhhh, the infamous brother. I'll see what I can do, seen as you asked so nicely and all.

Crowley

[i_got_this]

Hey, I have my perks, you know.

[asseenontv]

Protective wall of fire? Bribe for whoever they're afraid of?

[onlyanapple]

NO and no, but I like the way you think.

[asseenontv]

Well, they both seemed like good potential uses.

[revolter]

The television said it might help?

[ uncertainly. Look, her mother would do it as she does whatever the people on the stupid tv shows say ]

[onlyanapple]

Well, it is the sort of advice television will give.

[revolter]

And some people would believe it and do it. Even if it doesn't make much sense to me.

[Crowley]

[lord_wizard]

It's possible I can, depending on the nature of the questions.

[Felix]

[onlyanapple]

Okay, prepare yourself, this is a weird one.

So this...lets call her Lady. She's recently got abilities which make her very strong, very fast. She has a regular boyfriend and wanted to know if there were any spells that could stop her from...well destroying the Little Soldier during bedroom shenanigans.

[Crowley]

[lord_wizard]

...

I have to say, that is by far the most unique question I have ever been posed where magic is concerned.

I don't suppose this Lady could simply opt to go easy on him? Perhaps some less acrobatic positions?
