Ask Jervis Tetch (n gang!)

“An oaf that relies too much on his fists rather than his brain. A cheat, probably. That being said I do enjoy the battle of wits in the game we play, and I respect him almost as much as he respects me.”

“As a matter of fact, I do have other things I enjoy, although I’m self aware enough to recognise something of a theme.”

“It’s… anything that presents a challenge, to be honest. Jonathan has accused me of having a short attention span, but I’d argue that I’m just bored in a world of idiots. Puzzles of any kind that are well made are enjoyable, from old fashioned Sudoku to video games. I also like cats.”

"Not much of a riddle, then. Nice nickname, though, been a while since I’ve been called that one. Thank you."

"Jervis asks that you don’t give your life for us. Luckily Jervis is currently not the one answering questions, and I say wait for a call."

"Hm… I met Jon a long while before I met the Mad Hatter. He was entertaining, and intelligent, and infuriating to interact with. I… appreciated him, which I am only saying because neither of them are in the room. We weren’t on speaking terms until Jervis showed up, though. He missed me, obviously."

"Jervis was… Odd. Too happy to be in Arkham, but equally happy to talk to me, which was… good, I suppose. At the time I was collaborating with Joker, though, who found his powerset useful, and obviously talking to that man leaves nobody happy to remain in the situation they’re in. Jervis is kind, and confusing, and back in the room."

"Both of them are lucky to have me, and… I suppose I appreciate them too, perhaps."

"Oh. Good. A refreshing change of pace after the last ask. Thank you."

A pleasure to see one of you too, I suppose. And… yes, Jervis has posed that one to me… more than once. It doesn’t stump me as much as you think it would, much like everything else, given that it has so many answers; because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat, it is nevar put with the wrong end in front, Poe wrote on both… you get the point.

...That being said, I hate it and I hope to never hear it ever again. It is senseless and infuriating and- well.

In the words of the girl my friend idolises so much, I think you might do something better with the time than wasting it in asking riddles that have no answers.

Ok so the riddle is

"A mile from end to end, Yet as close to you as a friend. A precious commodity, freely given. Seen on the dead and on the living. Found on the rich, poor, short and tall, But shared among children most of all"

“A smile!”

Thank you so much for all this art oh my god youre so?? good???))

I'm not much of an artist but wanted Jervis to have something pretty to help him feel better.

"Well he at least seemed to appreciate them, so he thanks you for it! Well done!"

These are so pretty!! Thats such a pretty picture of flowers of my GOD!!! Truely a thing of the gods!))

"I choose the gun, for being posed a riddle that simple. If the murderer wanted to survive, though, they'd choose the lions. The cats were dead long before the killer ever got there. Try again with something a far more complex than that if you're trying to stump me."

“Do? Do? I didn’t do anything, it was that shit with his childhood that gave him the meltdown. And I can be kind! To people who deserve it, sure, but if you’re kind to everyone it doesn’t mean anything. 

Plus, uh, Jon kicked me out the room because he doesn’t think I’ll help, or something."

'My exact words were ‘you act like a dick when he cries and need to fuck off’ 

"I have never acted like a dick. And instead of doing that, I’ve chosen to take the time to help him with a project! See, question-asker? Kind.”
