Well, crickets are fine, as long as they don't come into my house!

Next character: "Look, I'm only trying to take away people's emotional pain. I know...wooooah! That was close. I nearly fell down!"

by **LondonLady** » June 1st, 2012, 4:07 pm

Come on, peeps! This one is easy!

by **Agent Skulder** » June 1st, 2012, 4:47 pm

London Lady, apparently it's not or there would be a guess or two after 5 days... Perhaps a clue might help illuminate the solution to:

"Look, I'm only trying to take away people's emotional pain. I know...wooooah! That was close. I nearly fell down!"

by **LondonLady** » June 2nd, 2012, 9:32 pm

Actually, this one is very easy. There is only one character on, "The X Files" who specifically thought that s/he was taking away his/her victims emotional pain. Also, the, "... wooooah! That was close. I nearly fell down!" is a big clue. One can only fall down if one is what?

I think that nobody has guessed this character because hardly anybody has seen the puzzle!

by **Agent Skulder** » June 15th, 2012, 8:35 am

I think we can all agree that something is easy ... when you already know the answer!

To deconstruct this, working backwards -

One can only fall down if someone is already standing, yes? So the character usually, ummmm, STANDS? Or Always stands? Cannot sit? ...

"Taking away pain..." All that comes to mind is that "monster" in S8 or 9 that Mulder went to see to cure his brain condition, that Doggett went looking for to find clues about Mulder's disappearance. But I'm guessing that's not the character....

Ten days later, we're open to more clues. Unless our crickets are really intelligent beings & would like to join us...

ROTFL! The character can sit, but when we first see him/her, s/he is definitely standing.

You are correct that the soul eater in, "The Gift," in the 8th series, is not the character that I have in mind. I had forgotten your penchant for over-complicating things for yourself! Think simple!

Agent Skulder wrote:Unless our crickets are really intelligent beings & would like to join us...

LOL! I think that the crickets are intelligent, but they are also abnormally shy! Maybe if you and I are really quiet, one of them might summon up the courage to post the correct answer!

However, while we are waiting for The Bravest Cricket to emerge, here is another clue. It's a big one, so, as Mulder said to Scully, "Don't say I never did nothin' for ya!":
This character appears in the 4th series. Now, you surely must know the answer!

by **Agent Skulder** » June 20th, 2012, 1:46 am

Gerry Schnauz on those stilts ... in Unruhe?

by **LondonLady** » June 23rd, 2012, 11:10 pm

Yes! See? That wasn't so hard, now, was it?

by **Agent Skulder** » August 3rd, 2012, 1:52 pm

New character:

All I wanted to do was help Scully. So at that research facility, after I pushed her down the stairs (I never expected her to find me!) I was shocked when she nearly ran me down with her car. Thank goodness I got her to listen to me. If she had arrested me, she would have gotten me killed!"

by **LondonLady** » August 5th, 2012, 8:43 pm

Hmmm. I have two possibilities in mind. I'll go with my second guess first. Is this character
Kurt Crawford? For some reason, I was thinking of him recently, and how handsome he was!

by **Agent Skulder** » August 5th, 2012, 10:33 pm

Sorry, Charlie.... Guess again!

(Ode to old Starkist Tuna commercials)

by **LondonLady** » August 5th, 2012, 11:00 pm

Okay, well, my first guess was Michael Kritschgau. Is that who this is?

by **Agent Skulder** » August 5th, 2012, 11:07 pm

Yes indeed! We have Liftoff....

by **LondonLady** » August 5th, 2012, 11:43 pm

Hurrah!

Next: "Oooh, I'm a finnicky eater, and I don't like to be left on my own. Thank God I don't live alone. I'm sure I'd be robbed or murdered! Oooh, my favourite show is coming on!"

by **Agent Skulder** » August 6th, 2012, 4:20 pm

Is this the miserable bed-ridden mama in "4-D" where she made time jumping sonny wait on her hand and foot...?

by **LondonLady** » August 8th, 2012, 9:10 pm

ROTFL @ "miserable bed-ridden mama"!
Yes, it's Mama Lukesh from, "4D." :sun

by **Agent Skulder** » August 9th, 2012, 12:31 am

I'll gladly pass my round to give a new player a chance... cancer]

Your character can "speak in the 1st person" or you can describe him / her in the 3rd person. Humor a plus...

Any takers? Jose Chung? WereDoomed?

by **HristinaB** » August 11th, 2012, 10:53 am

May I?

I actually have TWO characters in mind, but they both share a lot of common characteristics, which will become evident as soon as you guess them.

I am a terrible judge of characters, but apparently I believed the '90s was the age of innocence. Because of my naïvety, I endager my daughters and I *really* don't know how to flirt. But at least I save a fortune on keys, as I never lock the door.

by **Agent Skulder** » August 11th, 2012, 4:58 pm

Hey, Hristina you certainly may! Just wanted to Welcome you to games!

This is a great puzzle; need to think about it a while. If anyone reading this has a clue, jump in!

Meanwhile, if you have any questions, just ask...

by **HristinaB** » August 11th, 2012, 5:47 pm

Thank you! I'm actually an old timer in XF forums, so I think I'll be able to find my way around.

I just wanted to clarify that my description is about TWO characters; one of them is really bad at flirting and the other never locks the doors, but they are both naive and put their daughters in danger. They also share another very important characteristic, but I can't elaborate more on that, because it will give the answer away.

by **LondonLady** » August 16th, 2012, 2:10 am

HB, I think that in all fairness to fellow players, we really should only use one character at a time, rather than combining characters. That's too confusing. Often, an answer seems obvious to the person posing the puzzle simply because s/he knows the answer!

Could you rewrite your description for just one character? thank]

by **HristinaB** » August 16th, 2012, 7:26 am

Sure.

Apparently I believed the '90s was the age of innocence. Because of my naïvety, I endanger my daughters, but at least I save a fortune on keys, as I never lock the door.

by **LondonLady** » August 21st, 2012, 12:47 am

Hmmm. I can't think of a character who had more than one daughter, and who never locked his/her door. Let me keep thinking. Does anyone else have any idea?

by **HristinaB** » August 21st, 2012, 8:58 am

Would it helped if I said we only got to see ONE daughter?

by **Agent Skulder** » August 21st, 2012, 10:13 am

The "one" daughter might help... I nearly posted this yesterday but I think it's wrong. No harm, right?

All I can think of is the would-be writer mom (of the blind daughter) in Too Shy. I'm not sure whether she locked her door but that was one of the few mother-daughter duos I could think of...

by **HristinaB** » August 21st, 2012, 10:24 am

Ummmmmmm.... I can't tell you how close you are!

When I originally posted my clues, I said that I was looking for two characters who have A LOT in common. LondonLady asked me to just stick to one character and so I changed my description, but the would-be poet mum from "2Shy" was one of these two characters... but not the one I'm looking for.

You are SO close, though!!!!

by **Agent Skulder** » August 21st, 2012, 11:07 am

Outstanding! cool]

Let's see what we can come up with...!

by **Agent Skulder** » August 24th, 2012, 1:00 am

Ok, you said I was close... As in an ep around 2Shy?

All I can come up with is the Conduit mom. I think they lived in a trailer where keys aren't always required, especially in the middle of nowhere....

by **HristinaB** » August 24th, 2012, 10:52 am

No, it's not the mum from 'Conduit'.

The episode I'm looking for is A LOT later than "Conduit" and quite earlier than "2Shy". The character clearly says that they always leave their back door open (hence my keys comment).

by **LondonLady** » August 26th, 2012, 8:06 am

Is it the mother in, "Irresistible"? She had dark wavy hair. I remember thinking how silly she was for allowing Donnie Pfaster into her house, but, of course, she didn't know who he was! I now remember her saying that they leave their doors unlocked.

by **LondonLady** » August 30th, 2012, 9:58 pm

Where are you, HB? I think that my answer is correct, but I need you to confirm it.

by **HristinaB** » August 31st, 2012, 6:10 am

Yes, you are correct!

If you remember, it was the same actress who played both "Irresistible" AND "2Shy" mum. Both mums had daughters ("Irresistible" mum had three daughters -- we only saw one --, "2Shy" mum had only one daughter, Jessie, who was blind). Both mums were nice to the point of stupidity to the MOTWs ("2Shy" mum flirted with him!) and their daughters could have been seriously endangered because of that.

by **LondonLady** » September 6th, 2012, 1:19 am

Now that you mention it, yes, it was the same actress, wasn't it? Maybe it was the same mother, and she had two separate families! That might explain why she was so trusting!

"Both mums were nice to the point of stupidity..."
Love it! LOL!

Next character coming soon.

by **LondonLady** » September 14th, 2012, 9:21 pm

Which character is this?

"I loved her so much! I was only trying to help! I would never hurt her! How could they take her away from me? If only I'd had more time, I could have raised more money. Well, maybe what happened was for the best. At least she won't be afraid any more."

by **LondonLady** » September 19th, 2012, 12:11 am

Bumpity, bump! This one is not difficult. Who would like to take a guess?

by **LondonLady** » September 21st, 2012, 10:48 pm

Any guesses?

by **Daedroth** » September 22nd, 2012, 12:33 am

Is it the father from "Hell Money", in need of money for his daughter's operation?

by **LondonLady** » September 25th, 2012, 6:27 pm

by **HristinaB** » September 26th, 2012, 9:42 am

Well, the female character referred here must be dead, so...

Is it Mr. Peattie, the creepy dad from "Theef"? The one who kept his daughter's corpse in his house? Ewwww!

by **LondonLady** » October 1st, 2012, 10:51 pm

LOL, HB! No, it's not Mr. Peattie, who probably watched, "Psycho" a few too many times!

I suggest that players re-read what this character is saying. Imagine the tone of voice. Look at the details of what this person is saying. It really isn't too difficult.

"I loved her so much! I was only trying to help! I would never hurt her! How could they take her away from me? If only I'd had more time, I could have raised more money. Well, maybe what happened was for the best. At least she won't be afraid any more."
