[Netbook] | Riddle Me This

[arbitrage]

[In neat, somewhat elegantly swoopy handwriting there is suddenly... A list of riddles!]

The man who makes me doesn't want me,
The man who buys me doesn't need me,
And the man who needs me doesn't know it yet.
What am I?

---

On my two legs I stand up strong.
I can be right, but can never be wrong.
What am I?

---

You pray for me when you’re desperate,
Curse me when I don’t show.
I’m blind, unfair, and unforgiving
Yet still, you chase me, bet after bet.
What am I?

---

What has a head and a tail, but is not an animal?

(Things have been kind of dicey lately. Figured at least some of you might appreciate a distraction ^^)

Ohhh no I've been listening to Add too much, I understand mathematics now...

[Ain—]

It's okay~ haha. I guess it's back to the drawing board with the other ones.

If you'd like a hint for the first one, I can tell you that it is in fact a physical object. Something that you can touch, something you can see.

Mm...

[taptapping his pen on the page... little ink blots to indicate that he's thinking. Eventually he starts doodling in the margins of the page while he thinks, cute cartoon flowers because his brain is not Doing.]

I'm going to be honest with you, my first thought when I read it before I came up with "time" was "shoes", which I immediately knew was dumb. But you know how people spend money on shoes that they don't need? Aaaanyway...

[Ain starts to doodle flowers, and Aventurine draws a little bee flying towards one of them. Art collab of the year--]

Bigger than shoes! You do tend to wear shoes when you get put into one, if that helps at all.

[The bee will shortly have a bee family while Ain contemplates. They are very round and fat bees, he does not know any better way to represent cute little guys.

He reads that hint, then goes back to read the earlier one he was left, hums...]

A grave...? Wait, no, a coffin? :O
