Can anyone guess why the water tasted like this?

Ummm...was it from a mudpuddle?

That's a neat map...I'm not good at reading this type of essence map though.
Anyway, it does help me have an idea of just how interesting your drink of water was...

Are you implying something... o.0

Eh...no, I was just guessing!

If you want to, I think it would help!

Okay...was it from some sort of well?

All right! Sounds good! *needs to learn X+ someday*

You mean a bottle that you bought at the store, the water that was sealed in it? Or normal water that you got somewhere and put into the bottle?

How 'bout today? * hopeful *

Hmm....I could try, sure!

Sorry. Isn't it natural for water to come out of a well though?
I think I may have had a similar drink though, from a bottle. Pretty muchly bitter tasting, though I missed the part about strength...and seetness...maybe I haven't after all.

Cool, thank you. All right, I'll hopefully go read about X+ today and then my "[questions] will block the sun!"I appreciate your willingness to help me, since this is one of the things I've sort of wanted to do but been "afraid" of.

I was wondering if that was what you'd realized.

Eh...your tongue is hyper active? Or...someone tried to poisen you? *isn't getting great big hint*

* folds hands and waits for questions, suppressing eager bounces occasionally *

.... ...Okay I'll send you a PM with my questions to keep from cluttering this thread up.

I was partially quoting the persian messenger when he spoke to the spartan king Leonidas just before the battle at Thermopylae. It is said that it went like this:

Messenger tries to get Leonidas to surrender, Leonidas flatly refuses.

Messenger: "Our arrows will block the sun." to which Leonidas replied: "Then we shall have our battle in the shade."

Okay...whoa now wait a minute! You ate it?!

Um...and this was water? Are you saying it had no added ingredients or it did?

*agrees that the hint was definitely not great big and then goes to finish questions in PM*

You Lausers are good at stumping people with essence map riddles.

I'll move it to the X subforum in essence for you. I like it... You got my mind thinking here.

Edit: I put it in X+. Is that where you want it?

Yeah, I really thought those quotes were awesome...I was like " So this is how witty one-liners got started!"

Uh...*can't think of anything else to guess at the moment*

I'll PM you some useful thread tutorials to look over. Most stuff isn't that difficult.

Hmmm... Did you eat something spicy and then had to drink a lot of water, so it had mixed tastes?
