are you folks ready to be annoyed to the point of punching someone through your screen?????

[riddledwith]

No? Yes? Well, I hope I can play him with sufficient desire to slap the sideburns right off his face.

Hi, I'm Kirk, and I never know what to say in these things. I'm new, I'm attached romantically to the evil mastermind behind Kevin (and in the same house no less, so if you can't reach one of us, you can try the other), and I look forward to being here with you horrible people. (Don't look at me, I was under the impression this was like "Horrible People: The Game(s)".)

I try to crack a lot of jokes. Gomen gomen, maybe I should have apped the Joker (no not actually, never that).

So here I am bringing you Edward Nygma, in the flavor of the DCnU/New 52 that everyone who reads it pretty consistently loves or hates. Riddler has always been my favorite Rogue since childhood, but I never got into the comics because 1) money and 2) catching up to a media that has more than half a century of material is a lot to ask of a person. The new stuff has only about three years of history. Much easier to consume.

My plurk is assbanditkirk so feel free to add me! My (IC written) HMD is here, and my permissions post is here which includes a little form if you would be so inclined as to take a second or two to fill that out. Anyone who doesn't will be assumed as a "No, I would not like Eddie peeking around for weaknesses from past arenas or whatnot." I don't need any complete forms until the current arena is over anyway, so no rush!

I think that is everything so if you have any questions at all or just want to chat, you know what to do! o7

edit: oh yes, Eddie is District 6, which I hear is where they put all the nut jobs, which is appropriate, so. Yeah. Also it's funny because Vin and I share a living space and now so do our characters.

yesssssssssss

loki and riddler will talk. definitely.

i'm kj...i also play charles xavier and thane krios

[riddledwith]

advanceth towards my direction brethren

[onedirectiony]

he likes your suit...

[riddledwith]

the feeling is mutual (except the fur wow who are you trying to impress?)

[onedirectiony]

EVERYONE especially if it makes them like him more than Thor

too bad they won't have the green right away, man

SO SAD...!

[riddledwith]

They see each other from across the room at some Capitol celebration....

Eyes meeting, they look over and see a well dressed gentleman dressed in green. (So fetching, the best color ever)

and then Panem was doomed.

[onedirectiony]

yes, because the Lord of Lies and the Riddler have just bonded.

You, sir, are right. Panem is very doomed.

[riddledwith]

Vin: "and in that moment, no one ever got a straight answer ever again."

I got a good laugh out of that.

[onedirectiony]

Ahahaha that is the most accurate thing ever.

[revvinguptheharley]

Do you hear that screaming Eddie?

She's coming for you.

Prepare for hugs.

[revvinguptheharley]

I suppose I should follow up with asking if he's met NU52 Harley.

[riddledwith]

his body is not ready, it will never be ready

Considering that he's from when Joker was still just Red Hood, that would be a very sure no. Which is a shame but since the timelines are all over the place, I wanted to be sure I wouldn't have to retcon in history at a later date.

[revvinguptheharley]

Sounds like the safest bet.

when she sees him on TV she's gonna scream so loud. I expect she'll be keeping her eyes and ears open for him after his no doubt hilarious death.

Does Eddie have a favorite snack? Maybe she can treat him to something that the Eddie from her world would have liked as a "Welcome to the murderworld" gift.

[riddledwith]

Screams so loud that Eddie faintly hears her in the distance, and being in the horror arena...

Also I get the feeling that whatever his favorite food is, it's probably not finger food (he probably is one of those people who eats pizza with silverware). However, while sort of but not in the same vein, I feel like mixed nuts with dried berries (blueberries in particular) would probably be something Eddie munches on for a multitude of factors (brain foods, accessibility, portability). Snacks are excused from being finger food.

[revvinguptheharley]

Ooo clever boy! She'll bring him some as a good luck charm since the last Eddie never even made it to the capitol.

[riddledwith]

"Look, what you just went through was probably traumatic, but these mixed nuts should help you feel better! You like a good mouthful of delicious, salty nuts, right?" lewd stare...

[revvinguptheharley]

Exactly! Perfect logic.

[arrogantalloy]

Greetings, Greetings! I'm Otter, and I play Tony Stark!

I look forward to some very interesting CR between them. Admittedly I'm utterly canon blind to most of DC, but I'm not going to let that ruin our days when it comes to tagging.

[riddledwith]

It's nice to meet you, and oh man, definitely!! I'm only familiar with the Marvel cinemaverse myself so it balances out? It'd be interesting to see if (how) they butt heads and/or challenge each other, especially considering the competitive nature of the game.

Eddie is from a really early point in the Batman timeline, where Batman had only even been doing the cape and cowl thing for... I'd estimate 3-4 months. I actually deliberately picked his canon point because it makes it easier to cover important topics (most of which are not going to be immediate OOC need to know info so don't worry about being canon blind at all).

[arrogantalloy]

Ohh That should work out well!

Considering Tony gets on everyone's nerves fast enough I'm sure they're quickly going to get headbutty and challenging.

That's kind of an interesting cannon point. I like it!

[riddledwith]

The one notable thing about the reboot comics is that Eddie is actually Batman's first chronological super villian, which is really exciting.

A clashing of egos and wits!

[arrogantalloy]

That makes for an interesting change for certain.

A great clashing indeed!

[grimbiker]

Hey welcome to The Games. I'm Garshil. This guy is Sirius. I also play Nasir, a bloodthirsty murderer/nice person (it's an odd combination).

[riddledwith]

Thanks! Bloodthirsty murderer/nice person? So... like Kevin then (haha)?

[grimbiker]

Haha, no actually not like Kevin. He's not creepy just views this as gladiatorial combat and as long as you're not a Roman/slave holder he's actually rather thoughtful. Well, as long as he's not pissed off.

Nasir's the nicest person in his canon, basically but they all have uh very skewed morals.

[riddledwith]

Ahh, alright. I was mostly kidding around but that gives a good idea. Eddie also has skewed morals, so he's not really going to judge on that angle. As long as you're smart (enough), he could care less.

[calledmenasir]

Yeah, I figured you were mostly kidding but I thought I could go into more detail on Nasir: No One Really Gets What's Going On In His Head.

[riddledwith]

In this week's Tributes Weekly: Nasir - What Is Really Going On In His Head? We Don't Know!

[calledmenasir]

I can see that being an article, actually.

[aboveangrybees]

Welcome to the Games! I'm Campa, I play Steve Rogers.

Just to warn you, I added you on plurk. So, don't be alarmed. I'm mostly harmless.

[riddledwith]

Stranger danger!!

[nunpunching]

Hello Kirk! Super excited to see an Eddie Nygma here. I'm Lisa, and I play a ton of characters here, but most importantly Eddie's Districtmate Punchy, who can toe-to-toe with him for the most obnoxious character award.

[riddledwith]

Great television for the Capitol, horrible experiences for fellow tributes!
