edettethegreat:

you see two doors.

in front of one of them is elias bouchard. in front of the other is annabelle cane.

“this is exactly what it looks like,” annabelle says.

(what does it look like?)

“one of us always tells the truth. the other always lies.” says elias.

(oh.)

(oh no.)

you hear a voice from behind you. “yeah, they’re playing that stupid game again. wanna go this way instead? ☺️”

it’s helen distortion! (yayyyyy— wait. no—)

as per The Riddle, what questions do you start asking?

please guys. y'all are missing the point

you have a free pass to ask whatever you want to elias bouchard and annabelle cane

the doors are irrelevant. the riddle’s irrelevant. you already know who tells the truth and who lies.

wouldn’t you take full advantage of this opportunity??

I mean. elias is practically all-knowing. you can get valid info on anything from him.

and annabelle’s not gonna give you proper information,. but you can still try to sort out her deal by asking things and seeing how she answers.

she’s not all-knowing. which means she doesn’t know what you know. fire away asking questions you already know the answers to and see how she warps them.

better yet, find a private place to ask elias questions (helen’s door is right there 👀) and use those answers to sus out what direction’s annabelle trying to guide things to.

(best not to act on whatever information you’re given– that’s probably what annabelle wants. but keep that info on the back burner. for later use.)
