A ten year old boy enters dragging milk cartons and a gasoline can.

Hello. I'm new in town. My name's *mumbles* Brown, but call me Encyclopedia.

He begins setting up- the milk cartons are chairs and a table, and the gas can is a dramatic device to make quarters clink.I am my hometown's pride and joy, not only as their smartest underage citizen

*smiles slightly, but sadly. She likes children, though they always remind her of her dead daughter, and her son and daughter who are forever lost to her* Greetings Brown...or Encyclopedia as you seem to prefer. Whatever made you choose such an odd name?

[the_knowitall]

Well, ma'am, everyone says that I have an encyclopedia in my head, I'm so smart.

[queens_revenge]

*very sadly* Your mother must be very proud of you.

[the_knowitall]

Oh, she is, ma'am. I help my father in the police department.

[trusty_sidekick]

*fond smile* A detective, are you?

[the_knowitall]

Yes, sir. Do you need one, by any chance?

*wants a candy bar, which one day's fee will purchase*

[trusty_sidekick]

Oh, no, I don't believe so. Not at the moment anyway. But if I do, I do believe I shall know who to call on.

[wonderfulboy]

What's detective?

[the_knowitall]

It's a very smart person who solves mysteries. Do you have a mystery that needs solved?

[wonderfulboy]

*shakes his head* I can solve my own mysteries! I'm Peter Pan!

[the_knowitall]

Suit yourself. Not everyone's up to my caliber of thinking. You've never been fooled by a scam artist? Or beaten by a bully?

[hellflowsover]

*slightly amused smile* Congratulations. That's quite a standing, young man.

[the_knowitall]

Thank you, sir.

I've never seen that river before. What is it?

[hellflowsover]

*smiles* That's the Acheron river in Greece.* Are you familiar with the name?

*At leasat, so says Google Image Search.

[the_knowitall]

Interesting. I thought the Acheron river was mythical, which is another word for fictional. I suppose the one in the mythical place of hell is, but the Greek river is not in my encyclopedia or world atlas.

*curtsies shyly* Good even--!

[the_knowitall]

How do you do, ma'am.

*figures she must be old fashioned, like... Elizabethian old-fashioned XD*

[fair_hero]

*well, yes, sort of? another quick curtsy, odear* O--well, I thank you. How do you?

[the_knowitall]

Very well, thanks.

Is this a black hole, by any chance? I mean, to see someone from so long ago here...
