Puzzle 005 - [Audio]

[hintcoinplz]

[A miserable, cold, and soaking wet Luke Triton currently found refuge from the storm in Dark Cave. He turns on the audio function, since it’s impossible to see anything other than the raging storm outside. A loud sniffle and sneezing can be heard from time-to-time.]

D-does anyone know how far the next town is? I’ve walked for about five days now- [another crack of lightning causes Luke to flinch.] - a-ah! I really hope this storm passes soon. I don't want to spend the night in this cave, I can hardly see my own hand in all this darkness! And I keep hearing weird noises...

S-since this storm might last for a while, would anyone like to hear a puzzle...?

"A snail is at the bottom of a 15 meter tree. He tries to reach the top. Each day, he manages to climb 4 meters, but during night, while he sleeps, he slips back 3 meters. How many days will he need to reach the top?"

I wish I had some hot soup right about now...

So about two to three more days, brilliant.

You're the one who tied up that kid and beat him up!

[There is a pout in her voice]

I did what? I never did such a horrible thing! It's terribly mean and unladylike. Besides, why would I want to do such a thing?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

I don't know, maybe you could tell me why you bullied that kid. Don't think I would forget about something like that so easily!

[dementeddream.livejournal.com]

I am telling you, I have done no such thing! [You can hear the sounds of her stamping her feet] Why are you accusing me of a crime I haven't committed.

I would never bully anyone!Well, maybe Devitt but he's annoying.

[ooc: The strike part is mumbled. And, yes, she pretending to be naive.

[ooc: S-so cruel, Rhode. D'=]

I know it's you! I recognize your voice when I last talked to you! If you think you and that criminal organize you work for can keep getting away with doing things like that, then you're wrong!

[Of course, Luke could stop Rhode about as well as the Youngster she stole from before could, so perhaps yelling at a Rocket member isn't such a hot idea. Unfortunately, this doesn't stop him from trying.]

[ooc: Cruelty is what Rhode does best. Besides, it be worse if she being..."nice"...I feel so bad for Luke D'8 /huggles the boy]

I don't work fork for any type of organization...But, since you are set in your belief of me being evil...How about we have a battle to prove my innocence. Hmm?

[In reality, Rhode is amused by this boy's ire. But, she cannot let Luke run around and tell everyone she is Team Rocket. It would ruin all her plans to have fun!]

[ooc: Oh dear. ='D He does seem to have a knack for getting himself into trouble.]

Fine, we'll battle then! If I win you have to stop picking on other trainers!

[dementeddream.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Aww, poor boy. ]

Fine~ I accept the challenge! Do you wish to settle the day and time of our battle?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

I should be in Violet City in two days, we can settle it then!

[ooc: Technically he should be arriving in Violet by Saturday night, if you'd like to plot this? =3]

[dementeddream.livejournal.com]

Fine~ I'll be waiting in the Inn by the Pokemon Center~ See you then!

<Small?[Ooc: Sure, I'm up to plotting! AIM?]

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Fine! I hope you'll be ready by then!

[ooc: I'm TheIrradiated on AIM! =3b]
