What is it? (GAME)

[MBrittan]

I'm of the belief that you can't have too much of a good thing (trivia threads). Tribond seems to have caught on quite well so why don't we try this one? It's VERY similar to "Who am I?" except that in this game, all of the answers are non-living things (inanimate objects). Everything else will follow the same format (three clues to start, person who correctly guesses goes next, etc.). Just so we can keep this from getting TOO crazy (yes, XRay, I mean YOU - lol) let's keep it to tangible things only. In other words, don't use something like "Clark's feelings for Lana". They can be obscure (of course), but be prepared to steer people in the right direction. For example, if you're going to say "Jonathan's toothbrush", just know that it could go on for a looong time unless you provide really good clues. OK, I think I've covered the basics. Let's start.

-It appeared in two seasons
-It held ill-gotten gains
-Its owner kept a close eye on it

What is it?

[skully]

Was it the little chest that Lex kept the octagonal key in?

[MBrittan]

Was it the little chest that Lex kept the octagonal key in?

Nope, but not a bad guess...
-M-

[skully]

Did it hold Luthor ill-gotten gains?

[MBrittan]

Did it hold Luthor ill-gotten gains?

Good question. Actually, no it didn't.
-M-

[skully]

So was it owned by a main character?

[MBrittan]

So was it owned by a main character?

A reoccurring character.

[MrsK]

Bart's backpack?

[MBrittan]

Bart's backpack?

Yep, you're up!

[MrsK]

I have no ideas, and I'm about to walk out the door to pick up my son... How about if skully takes the next turn?

[MBrittan]

Where's your son at 1 in the morning?!!?
-M-

[skully]

I'll take the baton from MrsK. But it's gonna get quiet soon.

Try this:

It held something valuable
Normally the item would hold something else
I was handled by an uncredited guest.

What is it?

The cigarette case from Noir?
-M-

[skully]

Hmm, not a bad guess and it probably fits (did any of the cops handle it before Lois snatched it?), but not what I'm after.

Just checked Noir, and only Lois and Lionel handled the cigarette case.

My item is seen being handled by an uncredited guest.

[MrsK]

Where's your son at 1 in the morning?!!?
-M-
At his girlfriend's house. And it is only midnight here - his curfew for Saturday night. I will be so glad when he can drive - and yet, that thought also terrifies me!

Hmm. Is it ONLY handled by a noncredited character? Until I read that clue was going to guess one of the Veritas lockets...

[skully]

Not ONLY handled by an uncredited guest. A number of other people handle the item.

[MBrittan]

OK, time to discuss frequency. How often does this item appear?
-M-

[MrsK]

How about the flour cannister in which Martha hid the octagonal key? Didn't an uncredited DCA Agent handle that in Fever?

[MBrittan]

-M-It appears in several scenes in the one episode.

[skully]

Recapping:

It held something valuable
Normally the item would hold something else
I was handled by an uncredited guest (but was also held by more than one other person, including 2 main characters and a recurring guest)
It is not the cigarette case from Noir, the flour tin from Fever, or the Veritas lockets.

What is it?

[MBrittan]

Is this object owned by one of the Luthors? Does it currently still exist or has it been destroyed? Can we find it in Metropolis or Smallville?

[MrsK]

One episode, huh? That rules out my next guess, which was the tool/tackle box where Jonathan kept the octagonal key... hmmm.

----- Added 48 Minutes later -----

How about the jar of Clark's blood in Phoenix?

[skully]

The jar is the item I was after, MrsK. Dr Teng was the uncredited guess who held the item in Phoenix, when she tested the blood in Lionel's limo on the Metropolis docks to see if it was the real deal.

You're up.

[MrsK]

Wow. Okay. I am not prepared! I need a minute to think of something.

----- Added 4 Minutes later -----

A guest character used this to help with a decision
It was defaced by another guest character

No. This is something there is more than one of. We see it in multiple episodes (each clue above is from a different episode).So are the multiple versions of this item all identical? Or is it something more generic like a police record, a medical file or a LuthorCorp invoice or requisition?

[krewsaider]

Welcome to the club, Mark. :lol:

[MrsK]

Not Chloe's laptop - but the size is about right.

Multiple versions are identical.

[xrayvision]

Is it the computer in Magnetic that the detective who was helping Lex took from the Torch? What about the computer that was used against Chloe in Delete?

[MrsK]

No, it isn't a computer - just something about the size of a laptop.

[Karafan1]

I can't think of anything else that could be the size of a laptop...And good job on the posting pro MBrittan..You made it to posting pro alot quicker than I did

[MrsK]

The clues refer to an identical (or nearly identical) item in the possession of 3 different people. I've made them a little more specific:

A guest character used it to help her make a decision in S4
A different one was defaced by another guest character in S3
It contained a clue that helped Clark save several people in S4

[xrayvision]

It contained a clue that helped Clark save several people in S4

This sounds like the blueprint in Forever that Clark found of that Nash Construction building.

[krewsaider]

Is it a book maybe?

[xrayvision]

I was thinking the book in Krypto but that led to Clark saving dogs, not people.

[MrsK]

This sounds like the blueprint in Forever that Clark found of that Nash Construction building.

Not the blueprint, but you do have the right episode for that clue.

[krewsaider]

Is it a Smallville High yearbook?

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

Dawn used it to pick a date for the prom.(if I'm remembering correctly)
Alicia scratched out Lana's picture.
Clark figured out all the missing people were on the "Most Likely To.." page.

[MrsK]

You got it, krews. You're up.

[krewsaider]

This one is probably easy but I'm gonna do it anyways.

Was very special to a main character
Used to be a threat to a different main character
Has been borrowed on several occasions

[minerva73]

The Isis foundation computers?

-Special to Lana Lang
-A threat to Lex since Lana spied on Lex
-Clark, Chloe, Lois, and Jimmy all borrowed it when she was comatose

[MrsK]

Lana's necklace?

[krewsaider]

Lana's necklace is correct, MrsK. Your turn.

[MrsK]

Okay. I have no idea if this will be tough, or really easy!

Appeared in 3 episodes.
Associated with one death and 3 near-death experiences
Associated with the dreams/desires of 2 characters
What is it?

[Karafan1]

Meteor shower?

[Québec]

Okay. I have no idea if this will be tough, or really easy!

Appeared in 3 episodes.

What is it?

Crater Lake?

[MrsK]

Neither the meteor shower (which is not just associated with but actually caused the deaths of way more than 1 person) nor Crater Lake. I'm thinking of something that is man-made.

[krewsaider]

Windmill in Chandler's field?

[MrsK]

Right again, krews.

[krewsaider]

Got stolen twice
Was used as a weapon even though that is not its purpose
Provided as a clue for a main character

[minerva73]

The chisel?

-At first Lana stole it from the barn in "Crimson" and Lex basically stole it back in "Trespass"
-It was used as a weapon when Lex tried to stab Clark, but it backfired.
-It provided a clue to Lana about Clark's powers which later led her to go snooping at the farm in the next episode (Trespass)

[krewsaider]

Yep that's it.

[minerva73]

-Used in only one episode.
-A female character took it after thinking about it for a while.
-It could've been used again, but a male main character was afraid to make the choice to use it again.

[krewsaider]

Is it a vehicle of some sort? Or a weapon?

[minerva73]

Nope, neither of those. It's smaller than both of those actually.

The engagement ring Clark gave Lana?

Nice work, MrsK. That's it.

-He only used it in "Reckoning".

[Karafan1]

Same here..It's yet another "I should have known that" situations for me

[MrsK]

It was handled by a guest and a main character
It belonged to the parent of a main character
It was used by a guest character against a main character

[minerva73]

Jonathan Kent's watch?

[MrsK]

No, not Jonathan's watch.

[xrayvision]

Those farm tools that Lois magically used against Clark in Spell when she was possessed & a guest character?

[MrsK]

No. Not the farm tools. The item I'm after is a more unique item than those.

[Karafan1]

I wanna say the knife from the fortress with the kryptonian symbols on it. It fits the 1st 2 clues but I don't think a guest character used it against a main character.

[skully]

How about the House of El crystal? Or is there more than one of them?

It was handled by Raya, Zor-El and Clark (as well as Zod-in-Lex - "My father sends his regards.")
It belonged to Jor-El
And it was used by Zor-El against Kara in Lara.

[MrsK]

Not the crystal or the knife, but you're getting closer.

[nothingwithoutchloe]

All I can think of is Lana's necklace but that didn't belong to Lana's parents

[MrsK]

Not the necklace.

[skully]

How about baby Kal-el?

He was handled Lara in Memoria and Clark in Apocalypse
He belonged to Jor-El and Lara
Brainiac tried to use baby Kal-El (by attempting to kill him) against Clark

Or failing that, how about the blue crystal?

It was handled by Agent Carter (and Zor-El?) and by Clark
It belonged to Zor-El, father of Kara
It was used by Zor-El against Clark.

[MBrittan]

[quote=skully;3911305]How about baby Kal-el?

This goes against the format of the thread which is "non living things". With that in mind, I'm going to guess Shelby's collar. lol ;)

Not baby Kal-El or the crystal, but you're still close. It is something Kryptonian.

Jor-El's memory pendant?

[Dr. Walden]

Is it one of the stones of power?

[krewsaider]

Oh I never thought of that, Dr. Walden. Maybe it is.

[Dr. Walden]

I think the Crystal of Air comes closest, but I can't see it fitting...

[krewsaider]

What about the spaceship? (I'm trying to think of more kryptonian objects)

[MBrittan]

I think the Crystal of Air comes closest, but I can't see it fitting...

Probably the water stone actually since Lionel used that to steal Clark's body. By the way, did they ever establish that these stones belonged to Jor-el?
-m-

[krewsaider]

I don't think so. Some Kryptonian put them on Earth centuries ago.

[MBrittan]

Could it be Clark's spaceship? Although I'm not aware of any instance when a guest used it against a main character...
-M-

[Dr. Walden]

Or, how about the altar in Quest?

Belonged to a parent of a main character (Edward Teague, father of Jason)
Handled by Edward Teague and Chloe? (the episode is fuzzy, only seen it once)
Used by Edward Teague against Clark.

Not sure how Kryptonian it is...

It's very Kryptonian (at least if you count the design and the symbols - the actual material might be terrestial). But I'm not sure if Jason fits the "main character" or "recurring guest".

Are we on the right track with a Kryptonian item? Or have we deviated off on a bogus tangent?

[Dr. Walden]

I was thinking one of those bracelets that banish someone to the Phantom Zone, but not sure how those belonged to someone's parent, unless we're assuming that Jor-El made them when he created the Phantom Zone.

[MBrittan]

OK, I'll bite. Early, middle, or late? (I guess someone had to ask, lol)

Once again another "Oh duh I shoulda known that" answer that shouldn't have taken this long to get..lol

[Dr. Walden]

This item was never seen.
It held the answer to a question demanded by a guest character.
It was owned by a boyfriend of Lana.

Should be fairly difficult, so I'll be very generous with hints.

[skully]

Are we talking longish term boyfriends i.e. Whitney, Jason, Clark or Lex. Or do you include the likes of Seth Nelson and Adam Knight?

[krewsaider]

Is it Whitney's father's war medals?

[Dr. Walden]

Its a long term boyfriend, and I'll go ahead and eliminate Clark and Lex, since that narrows it down to being reasonable.

[Dr. Walden]

Nope. The guest character is not Alicia or Genevieve. The question is being demanded of another recurring character. The item is directly referenced, so its not, like xray suggested, something that is just assumed, like the assumption that Jason mailed the stone in a box.

[skully]

How about the sticker on one of Whitney's old school books?

In Visage, Tina-in-Whitney demands that Mrs Fordman tell her/him the right radio station to have playing when Lana gets in the car. Mrs Fordman says "It's the one that plays loud rock. I think that there's a sticker on one of your old school books."

How about General Macarthur's pistol owned by Lionel (he was brandishing it in his LuthorCorp office and he told Lex it was given to him by a grateful overseas partner) as seen in Vengeance?

[MrsK]

No, not the pistol.

[skully]

Damn, I thought I had it. Just trying to think what else would be 60 years old when first presented to someone.

[MrsK]

It was a good guess. This is something from an earlier season than that, though.
I'll edit the second clue to say it was a gift from one MAIN character to another, if that helps.

[Dr. Walden]

Did it originally belong to Hiram Kent?

----- Added 46 Seconds later -----

How about the Kent Farm?

[MrsK]

It did.

[Dr. Walden]

Nevermind.

[skully]

Hiram's leather jacket?

[MrsK]

No, not the leather jacket. This item wasn't passed down to someone in the family; well - I guess it sort of was, but then it was given to as a gift to someone else.

[Karafan1]

The watch Johnathan gave Lex before he married Helen??

[krewsaider]

I was gonna guess that but I thought it was a brand new watch Jonathan bought Lex.

[MrsK]

It was a compass, and I think it was new. Still not it!

The episode in which the item appears is in an early season, though, so you are getting closer!

[Karafan1]

Yeah it was a compass..I don't know where I came up with watch..To much sun while I was fishing must have fried my brain..lol..

[skully]

It belonged to a main character's father
It was gift from MAIN character to another
It was 60 years old when it was given to someoneBouncing the question.

So it originally belonged to Hiram? And it's not Dr W's edited guess of the Kent Farm?

[xrayvision]

So it's not the compass?

[skully]

No, we eliminated that. Jonathan followed Kent tradition by giving a compass as a wedding gift but it was a new one that he gave Lex.

[xrayvision]

Something tells me it's something from Relic that was Hiram's and Jonathan gave it to Clark. It's either between Clark and Lex or Clark & Jonathan. I don't think it was that Battle of Troy playset seen in the pilot. It definitely wasn't the box made of St. George's armor and was not the sword Lex gave to Clark in Stray.

I don't remember anything being given to another main character that was from Martha's father, Lois' father, Lana's father, Pete's father, Jason's father, or Whitney's father.

[skully]

Maybe Clark's telescope? Near the end of Pilot Jonathan says "Your grandfather gave me that telescope when I was about your age." So not sure it matches the 60 year old clue but it was Hiram's and it was gifted to Jonathan and presumably then passed onto Clark.

[AdamTyree]

Is it hiram's shotgun?
it belonged to jonathan's father(we see it in relic when clark touches it)
jonathan gave it to lana in crisis
and in crisis i assume its 60 years old

[Karafan1]

If it is the shotgun I'm gonna kick myself..I thought of that eariler but I went with the compass instead..

[skully]

Hehehe, I actually typed Hiram's shotgun and belt bucket then thought "nah" and didn't post it. That might be a good catch Adam. I forgot about Crisis. That's typical MrsK deviousness!! :)

[Karafan1]

Ok well I'll say the belt buckle then..*steals idea from skully* lol

[MrsK]

It is not the farm, the compass, the belt buckle, the jacket or the shotgun. It is not something from Relic or Crisis. The episode in which the item is given to another main character is in an early season. The item is actually gift wrapped, if that helps, and dates to sometime in 1941. If that doesn't give it away, I don't know what will!

[skully]

Oops, scrub that!! :)

[Karafan1]

It belonged to a main character's father
It was gift from one character to another
It ws60 years old when it was given to someone


Just putting this on the new page

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

60 years from 1941 would be 2001 so would it be an early season 1 episode? That might also give to much away though..

[MrsK]

Right, both of you. It is not the telescope, and it is in S1.

[skully]

Hehehe, we are all having trouble with sore thumb items today!!

[Karafan1]

I think I know what episode it is but I haven't seen it for awhile and no dvds to check at this time so skully you should get this

[MrsK]

Hehehe. That is what I like about this thread - the answer is always so obvious when someone finally figures it out; makes you wonder why in the world you didn't see it sooner!

[skully]

I think I know what episode it is but I haven't seen it for awhile and no dvds to check at this time so skully you should get thisHehe, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm just not seeing it right now. I'm sure this will be a Homer Simpson "D'Oh" moment.

[Karafan1]

Well I could really cheat and tell you what I think the episode is..

[MrsK]

Please do! I'm getting tired of this one!

[Karafan1]

Ok..I think it's "Hourglass"..but if I'm wrong I have no clue what else it could be..

[skully]

Well, I thought it had to be Hourglass or Relic. But Hourglass isn't ringing bells for me.

[MrsK]

No, it isn't Hourglass. :( It's later than that.

Okay, I think we established that the item was originally Hiram Kent's. It was later given away by a member of his family to another main character. Does it help if I reveal that the person to whom the item was given is Lana?

[krewsaider]

I just thought of this but I don't think it fits the clues. The pocket knife Jonathan had in "X-Ray."

[skully]

Ah, how about the old photo of the Talon that Clark gave Lana to commemorate the opening of the new Talon - in Zero?

[krewsaider]

That sounds like it could be it...

[Karafan1]

If it's that, it will be a Homer Simpson D'oh moment that skully talked about eariler

[MrsK]

skully has got it!

The photo that Clark gave Lana to commemorate the re-opening of the Talon was a picture of the old Talon that had belonged to Hiram, and Clark found it in the attic. The marquee showed two 1941 movies playing - "The Devil and Miss Jones" and "Thieves Fall Out."

Good job! :)

[Karafan1]

D'OH!!

[skully]

Great question, MrsK, and remarkably UNobvious!!! :)

Thinking of a worthy question.....

----- Added 7 Minutes later -----

A colourful item
The item was disowned by a main character
The item made another main character uncomfortable.

[MrsK]

Is the item red?

[skully]

Yes, I knew it wouldn't take you long. Come on, out with it!! :)

[MrsK]

I'm pretty sure I know what it is, but I'm heading to bed and I was thinking I'd see if someone else might guess it. :)

Is it in S4?

[skully]

Stop teasing MrsK. Yes it's in S4. I knew the word "uncomfortable" was the wrong choice. Should've gone with "scared"!! :)

----- Added 5 Minutes later -----

Right. MrsK has narrowed this down but left it open for others to solve:

A colourful item (MrsK confirms it is red)
The item was disowned by a main character
The item made another main character uncomfortable.
It's in S4.

What is it?

[xrayvision]

Chloe's cheerleading uniform in Devoted?

[skully]

Not Chloe's cheerleading outfit in Devoted.

[minerva73]

The blanket-ish thing that held the Crystal of Air in "Sacred"?

Big guess...

[AdamTyree]

big guess but,
Barts Backpack(even though bart isnt a main character)

[xrayvision]

What about Clark's football jersey that Chloe was wearing in Devoted when she had nothing else underneath it? I thought Clark felt uncomfortable then.

[AdamTyree]

that sounds a heck of a lot better than mine xray,
your probably right

[xrayvision]

If not the jersey, then maybe the lipstick of that girl in Devoted who was all over Clark (if it got on Clark)?

[skully]

Good Heavens, I thought this would go in no time.

It's not the red cloth that held the Air stone, not Bart's packpack, not anything Chloe wore in S4, and not Mandy's lipstick in Devoted. The item is not in Devoted.

[MrsK]

Okay, I'm thinking it is the pair of red panties Clark found in the barn after the party in Spell. He is holding them up looking uncomfortable when Lana comes in and says, "At least those aren't mine."

[skully]

Yes MrsK. Well done. The boys were struggling to identify the red item but I knew you knew it last night.

You're up.

[MrsK]

I'm surprised that didn't go faster, too! Since I figured someone would get it today, I don't have a new question ready, so give me a minute!

----- Added 7 Minutes later -----

Okay here's one:

The item appeared in one episode.
It contained two items, both of which were related to a secret
No one (except the viewing audience) saw either item

What is it?

[skully]

Does the item hold physical items i.e. they are not electronic or etherial?

Is the secret Clark's or someone else's?

[xrayvision]

This sounds like something that the camera focused on at the end of an episode or at the end of a scene like that cave picture of Sageeth in Skinwalker (which is not my guess).

[MrsK]

Does the item hold physical items i.e. they are not electronic or etherial?

It holds physical items.
The secret is not Clark's - it is a main character's secret, though.

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

Could be... ;)
Obviously not the cave picture.

[xrayvision]

Something tells me the item is either from season 4 or season 6.

[skully]

So the viewer sees the two items in the object you are after? Is the item you are after (that contains the two unseen items) seen by people in the SV world?

[MBrittan]

Great question, MrsK, and remarkably UNobvious!!! :)

I'm late to the party but I was going to guess Clark's cape from Jordan's vision in Hereafter...

[skully]

Hehehe, MrsK got it almost immediately but strung me along and gave others a chance. But she nailed it in the end.

[MBrittan]

I'm surprised that didn't go faster, too! Since I figured someone would get it today, I don't have a new question ready, so give me a minute!

----- Added 7 Minutes later -----

Okay here's one:

The item appeared in one episode.

No one (except the viewing audience) saw either item

What is it?

OK, I've got a few questions. First, is the item lost (to the characters on the show)? Are the characters on the show aware of its existence? Even though it only appeared in one episode, is it mentioned in others?
-M-

[skully]

Bouncing this to a new page:

The item appeared in one episode.
It contained two physical items, both of which were related to a main character's secret (not Clark's)
No one (except the viewing audience) saw either item
But the viewers may have seen the two items at the end of a scene or episode.

[MrsK]

OK, I've got a few questions. First, is the item lost (to the characters on the show)? Are the characters on the show aware of its existence? Even though it only appeared in one episode, is it mentioned in others?
-M-

The item is not lost.
The character whose secret it holds is aware of it's existence.
It is never mentioned - only seen, but it is directly focused on.

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----


So the viewer sees the two items in the object you are after? Is the item you are after (that contains the two unseen items) seen by people in the SV world?

The viewer sees both the item and its contents. It is not seen by anyone in the SV world in the episode in which it appears, but it is safe to assume that the item's owner has seen it many times.

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----


Something tells me the item is either from season 4 or season 6.

No, neither S4 nor S6. I'll help you out and give up that it is in an early season.

[MBrittan]

does it belong to a main character?
-M-

----- Added 33 Seconds later -----

Does it belong to the person whose secret it holds?
-M-

[MrsK]

Yes to both questions.

[skully]

Is the secret still a secret? Or only a secret at the time we see the item?

[MrsK]

A secret at the time - revealed in a later episode.

[Karafan1]

This might give to much away, but is the secret Clark's secret?

[MrsK]

No; it isn't Clark's secret.

[xrayvision]

Without looking at any other clues that may have been posted, my answer to MrsK's question (hopefully nobody got it yet) is Lionel's pendant in Prodigal.

It appeared in one episode.
It contained the hair & a photo of Lucas, both of which were related Lionel's secret.
No one saw either item because Lionel was blind

[skully]

Very nice, xray. But I think the pendant was in Lineage. Should've twigged that blindness had to be involved for no-one to see the item.

[xrayvision]

Oops. That's what I meant. I was thinking about Lucas and accidentally mentioned the episode where he actually appeared.

[MrsK]

Well done, xray - you've got it! :)

[xrayvision]

This thing made quite a bit of noise.
Its owner died.
It had the same name as something else that appeared a few seasons later.
What is it?

[MrsK]

Was this thing alive?

[xrayvision]

Nope.

[MrsK]

Hmm. No ideas at this point, and I'm too tired to think very hard, so I'm off to bed. I imagine skully, krews, or KF1 will figure it out by morning.

[xrayvision]

Nighty nite MrsK.

[krewsaider]

[xrayvision]

Not a place.

[krewsaider]

----- Added 48 Seconds later -----

Is it a car or a vehicle of some sort?

[Karafan1]

I think I know what scene this thing is in but I don't know the name of the thing

[sil3nt]

The octagonal key?

This thing made quite a bit of noise. - to jonathan
Its owner died. - jor-el died
It had the same name as something else that appeared a few seasons later - kryptonite key, well not exactly the same name but hey might as well give it a try.

[Karafan1]

Is it the machine Johathan turned on in "Whisper" when he trying to get Clark to focus on his voice? If that's right I don't know the name of the machine but it's worth a try..

[skully]

So it's not alive and it's not a place. Did it originally appear in only one episode? Or multiple episodes? Does the same-named thing from a few seasons later appear in only one or multiple episodes?

[xrayvision]

Nobody got it yet. It appeared in 1 episode and the same named "thing" also appeared in 1 episode.

[skully]

And are we talking real decibels, or something like lots of electronic gibberish? I must admit the word "siren" popped into my head, I police siren, sporting siren, compared to the later Balck Canary Siren, but I don't think that's it.

[nothingwithoutchloe]

Did the knife used in Talisman and Zod have the same name, don't remember if it made a noise or not though

[xrayvision]

By noise, I meant it was heard making noise quite often for the duration it was seen. The noise levels weren't loud.

The thing it shared its name with is either an item, a person, or a place.

It's not a siren and not the Starblade from Talisman.

[Karafan1]

The black ship?

[MBrittan]

Skully, FYI - Answers on this thread cannot be alive. Non living only.

Really? I thought animals could be used as a "What am I?". Not that the current question refers to an animal.

[Dr. Walden]

I almost considered using something living. It was going to be the parasite from Rush, which pops up again in Lex's secret room, so I thought I could make some clever clues. Unfortunately, I wasn't sure if that would break the rules.

[skully]

Meh, the "rules" of these threads inevitably morph a bit. I don't think anyone is gonna take you to task about whether your "thing" should be in the "What it is?" thread or the "Who am I?" thread.

[MrsK]

Is the owner who died a character with a name?
Do we see them die, or just know that they are dead?

[xrayvision]

Yes the owner who died is a character who does have a name. Technically, we don't see the person, but do know and even see evidence that the person is dead.

[MBrittan]

The only potentially "sticky" situation you run into in using living things on the "What is it?" thread is that you may have questions go on forever because people don't realize they're allowed to guess living things. I think it probably makes more sense to just keep them separate. But, no, I'm not gonna "take you to task" lol

How about the barn, all sorts of noises come out of it.
It still belongs to the Kent's but the original owner has died
Jonathan called it Clark's "Fortress of Solitude"

[skully]

Yeah but this "it" and the same-named thing each only appeared in one episode. So can't be the barn.

Another hint that I gave earlier:

The same named "thing" could be an actual thing or it could be a place or a person.

[skully]

How about Lionel's word scanner in Duplicity? The one that voiced the words as Lionel scanned the page ("These fragment vary in circumference from 24 microns to 562 millimeters."). But I think he used that in more than one episode (also in Nocturne in the garden when Martha showed up and read the paper for him, I think).

[xrayvision]

Not the word scanner. By the way, do those things really exist?

[MBrittan]

Yes, I believe they're made to read Braille. The words are "coded" on the page.
