Beware of the Guardian Loafs

@catsalad

Ah fuck. They're going to ask me a riddle and eat me slowly if I fail to answer correctly.

@catsalad The password is pspspspsps

@catsalad when two cats are loafing and facing each other, that means there's an invisible trip wire between them

Thems is just tha facts

@catsalad The transit permit will be expensive.

@Erik2485 @catsalad

Will I need Letters of Transit? Signed by DeGaulle?

@catsalad we have ones like that. Stripey and black. And a third very fluffy.
@catsalad one guardian always lies. The other ignores you and won't respond to any provocation
@catsalad Gate to the Southern Oracle.
@catsalad no ankle is safe
@catsalad one tells only the truth and tells only lies
The one on the left always lies, and the other one always tells the truth?

@chuff @catsalad

β€œNo problem, I know what to do here.”

β€œIf I asked the other cat if you were a tabby, what would they say?”

(tabby): meow
(not-tabby): meow

β€œCrap, which meow is β€˜yes’ and which one is β€˜no’, again?”

@catsalad behold, two guardians. one always tells lies about the last time they were fed, and the other also always tells lies about the last time they were fed
@catsalad can you get them with wings? Everybody fears a flyin' lyin' lion. Ain't nobody getting into that rumpus room

@catsalad

Earlier

@dianea @catsalad There's a stargate in the basement.
@dianea Those are psychopomps hard at work. @catsalad
@dianea @catsalad I would not go into that basement for love or money.
@dianea @catsalad There's an Egyptian god down there. It's going to eat you or give you vast cosmic powers. Choose.
@dianea @catsalad I totally see where the Egyptians got their β€˜cat style’ from.
@dianea @catsalad Thoth is down there weighing hearts. Do not disturb.
@dianea @catsalad
You have to ask the one on the left "what would the one on the right tell me?".
@catsalad lions guarding the stairs to a library
@catsalad the invisible level 50 loaf is the one you gotta watch out for

@catsalad
"None may venture through unless they answer our riddle true...

Is there food in our dish?"

"Yes."

"Incorrect. You may not pass."

"But look, there's lots of food in the dish, just not in the middle."

"SO, YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH!"

@catsalad You must appease with pettings three.

@sindarina @catsalad

What...is the moment you should stop petting?

I don't know that! Aaaaaaaaaah! [bloody hand flies into the gorge]

@catsalad One speaks only lies, and the other's food bowl is empty
@catsalad one of them only tells lies and the other only truth
@konstruct @catsalad oh no wait, they're talking about their food bowls. They both lie
@catsalad Nice stairway you have there.
Would be a shame if something were to happen on your approach.
@catsalad No passing without skritches.

@catsalad

Stop!

Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see!

πŸ˜‰πŸ––

@catsalad

Perhaps these should be the Stairs of Slight Misfortune? πŸ˜‰

@catsalad to enter the sacred realm of the great downstairs, you must solve a riddle. Solve it and pass. Fail and you shall be meowed at. Loudly.

(The riddle is "where snack?". Always. So bring kibble)

@catsalad Anyone can pass …but you will be judged and found wanting.
🀣 🀣 🀣
@catsalad one of them always lies and the other one always tells the truth.
