What is it? (GAME)

[MrsK]

Hmmm. None of the female, non powered, alive, not incarcerated, not comatose, human, much older than Clark SEGs I can think of appear between Jonathan and Lionel's death...
Is the SEG named? Do we know her profession? Does she have a non-background speaking part?
Is it seen at the DP?
Any mains in the scene? Do they interact with the SEG?

The SEG is not named. We do know her profession. I think she has one line. She does appear in the foreground of the scene in which she appears.
It is seen at the DP
There are two mains in the scene - Lois, Chloe - both interact with the SEG

[MrsK]

Is it the mail lady at the DP in Gemini?

If so, is the "it" the mail cart?

[ReignoftheSupermen]

That would be it Mrs K! Here "it" is...

[skully]

Nice work, MrsK. :)

[MrsK]

It (or a similar one) is seen in 3 episodes
It is seen in both Metropolis and Smallville.
There are 2 mains present each time it is seen. (Not always the same mains)

What is it?

[skully]

Who are the two mains present (as a pair, please :)), at each of the 3 instances?

Is it tangible?

Can it be held and lifted in one hand? A closed fist?

Is it made of hard material?

Is it alien, edible, organic, electrical/electronic?

Can it be worn? Designed to be?

Is it colorful?

Is it functional or decorative?

Would the item be seen in a residence? An office or place of business? A place of recreational or entertainment? A medical facility?

Do we see it at or near a common series location? Indoors? Day or night?

[MrsK]

Clark/Lana
Jimmy/Chloe
Clark/Chloe

It is tangible
It is made of a hard material
You might be able to lift it with one hand. Would not fit in a closed fist.
Not alien, edible, or organic. It is electrical.
Not colorful
functional
It could be seen in a residence, possibly a place of business, and a place of recreation
We see it in 2 common locations. 1 is in Metropolis, indoors, once during the day and once at night. The other is in Smallville, outdoors at night
Can't be worn

[skully]

Is it made of metal, hard plastic or synthetic, wood, crystal/gemstone, glass, ceramic, ice, wood, bone, brick, or rock/stone?

Is it seen at the DP? LCHQ? Isis? AoC? MGH? - in Metropolis.

Is it seen at the farm? Mansion? Talon? SV High? SMC? - in Smallville.

Seen before or after JK's death?

[MrsK]

Metal
DP after JK's death and farm before JKs death

[skully]

So presumably the scene with Clark and Lana is at the farm and the other two are at the DP?

Is it seen on the farmhouse porch? On the drive? In a field? Outside the barn?

[MrsK]

So presumably the scene with Clark and Lana is at the farm and the other two are at the DP? Yes

Is it seen on the farmhouse porch? On the drive? In a field? Outside the barn? Outside the barn

[skully]

So for the farm scene - before or after RN's death? Kyla's? ME's? AB's?

[MrsK]

before RN's death

[skully]

Ah, how about a film projector like the one Clark used to show Lana's birthday present (Loony Tunes cartoons) on the truck at the end of Craving.

Jimmy used one to play The Big Sleep as a surprise for Chloe at the DP in Noir and Clark and Chloe used one at the DP to look at the old footage of the persecuted members of the JSA in Absolute Justice Part 1.

I think we also saw one in the sex ed. class in Heat. :)

[MrsK]

Well done; that's it. I had forgotten about the one in Heat.

You're up!

[skully]

OK, another soonish.

[skully]

This is a very common item.
This specific version was used as a weapon.
It is seen in a one episode location.

What is it?

[skully]

*Ahem*

[MrsK]

Sorry. It's looking like it's gonna be one of those weeks...


So - one-ep location, I guess that means this specific item was seen in just one episode? More than one scene?
Is the location indoors? Is it a residence? Somewhere open to the public? A business?
Is it in Metropolis? Smallville?
Mains present when it is seen? Is it used as a weapon by a main/RG/SEG? Against a main/RG/SEG?
Would it normally not be used as a weapon?
Is it tangible?
Can it be held and lifted in one hand? In a closed fist?
Is it made of hard material?
Is it alien, edible, organic, electrical/electronic?
Can it be worn? Is it designed to be?
Is it colorful?
Is it man-made?
Is it bigger than a table?
Is it functional or decorative?

[skully]

The specific version is seen in just one scene of one episode.

The location is indoors, not a residence, not open to the public, not so much a business as a service.

The location is not exactly known but likely to be somewhere near to either Smallville or Metropolis, probably Smallville.

Clark is present when it is seen. The weapon is used against an RG.

It would not normally be used as a weapon.

It is tangible.

It can be held and lifted in a closed fist.

It is made of both hard and soft material.

It is not alien, edible or electrical/electronic but part is organic.

It is functional.

[MrsK]

Is the RG male or female? >2, <5? powers? alive? incarcerated? comatose? Clark's age?
Is the person who uses the item as a weapon Clark? an RG?SEG?

[skully]

The RG is M, >5, powers, alive, not incarcerated, not comatose, considerably older than Clark.

Clark does not use the weapon. A male SEG does.

[MrsK]

Is the RG human? ever a main?

----- Added 32 Seconds later -----

Is the SEG alive? human? powers? Clark's age?

[skully]

The RG is not human and was never a main.

The SEG is alive, human, no powers, older than Clark.

Yes. :)

Is it the lighter that one of the orderlies threatens MM with in Labyrinth?

[skully]

It is indeed, MrsK, Well done. :)

[MrsK]

All right. Another in a bit. :)

[MrsK]

It was seen only once
It was handled by Clark and Chloe
It was destroyed

What is it?

[MrsK]

It is tangible and can be held in a closed fist.
It is made of hard material(s)
It is not alien, not edible, not organic, but I believe it is electronic.
Not worn; not designed to be worn
Not colorful
Functional
It could be seen in any of those places.
We see it in Smallville at a common series location, indoors, day

[skully]

So being electronic, is it safe to assume it is made of metal and plastic?

Do we see it at the farm, school, mansion, Talon, or SMC?

Do we see it before or after RN's, ME's, AB's, JK's, Lionel's, Jimmy's or OLC's death?

[MrsK]

Yes - more metal than plastic,but there are probably plastic elements.
Talon
After JK's death and before Lionel's

[skully]

A bit of a stab. Is it the GPS device that Clark removed from Chloe's shoulder and squashed in the Talon apartment in Freak? Great, great scene. :)

[MrsK]

Good stab! That's it. :)

[skully]

OK, another soonish. :)

[MrsK]

[skully]

Knock knock. :)

[MrsK]

Sorry! Another crazy week!

It isn't terribly important to the plot.

Is the SEG alien, or not human because of a meteor infection or some other power to make them a metahuman?

After some thought, I think he actually might be human - with a power, but not from meteor rocks

[skully]

Before or after Titan's death?

[MrsK]

After Titan's death.

[skully]

I'll have to think about this.

[skully]

Is it maybe Dr. Curtis Knox's respirator thingy seen at his "surgery" in Cure when he was going to cut Chloe open to transplant her green-K enhanced heart into his beloved Sophia?

http://www.homeofthenutty.com/smallville/screencaps/displayimage.php?album=136&pid=143569#top_display_media

[MrsK]

It is something that belongs to Curtis Knox, but not the respirator thing.

[skully]

OK, will have a look after the re-watch. :)

[skully]

Maybe Dr. Knox's phonograph, seen at the beginning of the scene in Cure where he cuts up Sasha Woodman.

[MrsK]

Before RN's death (but that should narrow it down plenty...).

[fantom zoner]

Could it be Chloe's bag from Obscura? Or onw of the stuffed bears in the warehouse?

[Lucky Luke]

Could someone please tell me who you guys are referring to when you use initials? So far I've only worked out Jonathan Kent for "JK".

[fantom zoner]

Could someone please tell me who you guys are referring to when you use initials? So far I've only worked out Jonathan Kent for "JK".
I think it's Roger Nixon, Morgan Edge, Alicia Baker.
Anything else?

[MrsK]

Could it be Chloe's bag from Obscura? Or onw of the stuffed bears in the warehouse?Yes! It is Chlloe's red bag with the butterflies from Obscura. You're up, fz! :)

And you are right about the initials:

RN = Roger Nixon
ME = Morgan Edge
AB = Alicia Baker
OLC = Old Lex Clone from Lazarus

Sorry if that confused anyone! We've developed a sort of shorthand on questions we ask frequently.

RG is short for Recurring Guest, and SEG = Single-episode guest
SMC = Smallville Medical Center, SVH = Smallville High School, and DP = Daily Planet. MG = Metropolis General Hospital.

Trying to think if there are any other abbreviations we use frequently... Never hesitate to ask!

[skully]

Nice work, fz, and welcome back. :D
