There's actually a note? Is the hiding place in my cabin? Narrowing it down isn't giving the answer away.

From:

forensicks

It's in a public location that is accessible to inmates!!

From:

abrightboy

And the flood is coming? Is it in the pool?

From:

forensicks

That's not part of the riddle, that's me becoming increasingly alarmed that you won't find it before the breach flood.

From:

abrightboy

Well, I wouldn't have if you hadn't said anything because I stopped trying to solve it when I realized you were just playing a joke on me. What does the note say? "Ha ha made you look, loser"? Or something simpler like the classic "I hate you"?

From:

forensicks

No... it has serious info about what I want you to do for me during a flood and such from now on, which I acknowledge is immature and even unkind, but at the same time I remain confident you have made zero progress on the riddle and therefore are not passing the test.

From:

abrightboy

If it's a real note, then I want to read it. Can I have a clue?

From:

forensicks

Maybe :) I'm also not above cracking if you get even a bit of the basic idea, because I have to admit it's a bit kludgy.

From:

abrightboy

If I can "maybe" have a hint, then how to I get the hint?

From:

forensicks

do you legitimately think you have considered the riddle from every one of the basic angles?

From:

abrightboy

Do you genuinely want me to solve it or is it actually a practical joke? Because the answers I gave you before I thought you were joking should tell you the answer to your question.

From:

forensicks

you were trying to solve it but if you were being forthcoming with your process, there's something you obviously haven't tried...

From:

abrightboy

What's that?

From:

forensicks

:)

From:

abrightboy

[He still feels like he's only being toyed with. It's as familiar a feeling as it is horrible. And here he didn't think anything could put a damper on his good mood.]

Okay. Give me the original clue again, please.

From:

forensicks

[ :') wym you didn't memorize it]

Speak of jail, and you know something is missing. It's me! I belong between those bars. I am very bad for the environment, but you still reach for me every day. What am I?

From:

abrightboy

Is it in the library?

From:

forensicks

No :( I am slightly disappointed but I have to admit that manually searching that place would be very inefficient

From:

abrightboy

I’d suggest in between the liquor bottles in the Lounge. You know: bars. Missing from jail. Bad for the environment. People really do drink every day here. But that’s not a common area open to all inmates.

From:

forensicks

"People" drink alcohol every day here but I wrote the riddle just for "you"! ;)

[oh my god Malcolm might actually get it. this is the first time Walter has had any hope]

From:

abrightboy

The medicine cabinet in the infirmary? Not inside it obviously, since it’s even locked from Wardens, but… it would reference my medication and also tie in with the whole Hilbert thing that I’m pretty sure you’re still mad about.

From:

forensicks

Colder :[ Maybe my punchline really is not that good. I'm not a comedian by trade. Jack of all trades, I guess. But I really will be sad if it goes unappreciated forever. When you get it you'll get it!

From:

abrightboy

So give me a hint. You said I could have one.

From:

forensicks

Then you should do everything the riddle tells you to do. (There's an English language component to the riddle! It's not just linking concepts together!)
