A hounding color, silver's lesser sister
Has a breath along the way, a cease.
This public chariot yields a final pause
Like Schubert did in older annuals.
But this cross borne hit more than a note sooner:
And its travels are Frosted in path.

So another Gothamite leaves us with more questions than answers. I'm not sure if anyone could call themselves friends with Mr. Nygma, but he's gone, regardless. This was found carved into a table in his flat. He could have left a harder one, to be honest.

And yet, perhaps he's better off than us.

[And that's the closest he'll get to publicly acknowledging recent affairs.]

Feel free to solve it yourself.

But none of that makes any sense!

[To her. Of course.]

It's a riddle. The real meaning is concealed. That is the point of riddles, you know.

[voice]

[motioned]

It's not a very good riddle if you can't even figure out what it's asking, right?

A shame. Good riddles are hard to come by.

[deductives]

If you aren't looking hard enough, certainly.

It depends on the nature of riddles one seeks.

Pining for a challenge?

[deductives]

You'd be harder pressed to find me not looking for one.

Bored?

An interesting brain teaser.

[deductives]

A tickler, at best. But if you insist.

I must ask, though, why he thought it appropriate to leave the riddle in such a way?

At present, it seems merely like the senseless destruction of a perfectly good table.

[ She's new ok. ]

Don't worry, I got this, meatbags:

You take the first letter of each line, cos they're obviously nonsense: AHTLBA

Then you rearrange that into the answer, LAB HAT.

Solved it. You're welcome.

[W...hat... At the very least, he can imagine this infuriating Eddie, so it's sort of hilarious. Secretly.]

A wonderful display of being a complete moron, thank you.

[benderisgreat34]

[Missing the point entirely,]

Yeah, no problem. That's what I thought about it, too.

I mean, we are dealing with a guy that's stupid enough to carve his crazy ramblings into a table, after all.

[ john's attempting to solve the riddle from the couch. he chews the top of pen thoughtfully and rolls a few of the lines on his tongue. ]

Schuuuubert. [ he hasn't made a lot of progress and sighs. ] Well, he certainly lives up to his name.

[Sherlock gives a lighthearted scoff.]

Red herring. Proper nouns thrown among others to seem important. The first two lines are what are really crucial to deciphering the rest. His American citizenship shows in it, too.

[He's gotta say... at least The Riddler remained interesting, no matter what name he was going by.]

Not friends, no, but acquaintances. Not all Gothamites are questionable, so you know. Just most of them.

[deductives]

[Oh, he hasn't seen this coding in a while. Certainly not cryptic enough to be Bruce. Perhaps one of the other Robins Carrie had mentioned.]

Most of them that end up here, certainly. So which one are you?

[predominates]

Appropriate name for your friend. You must have liked him.

[deductives]

He was unjustifiably pompous and far too attached to the color green.
