You have to know Orson Scott Card's book The speaker for the dead, I think Orual's title is speaker for the dead.

Yes the hint was Card's Ender which is of course related to the series Ender's Game. A later book was Speaker for the Dead and his PT is Speaker of the Dead. Sorry for having such an awful clue.

It wasn't an awful clue morm, we're just not well-read enough to know the answer

I thought it was a good clue! I never even thought to look at peoples titles, from now on I will! Good job Morm for the question and good job to Jenny for getting it! Nice to see another person who has read the books (besides me and Jenny)

*hits self in head* I adore that series, and I didn't get it.... I must be losing my mind. So Jenny's clue is up next?

Yes, as soon as I come up with a clue. I was so pleased with myself for coming up with an answer I ignored the little man in my head saying "But you'll have to have a clue! You don't have a clue!" I just shushed it with the tried and true "Why start now?"

Ok, now that I think of it, that was to simple. But I thought it would have been a little more cryptic...hmm...Jenny?

Diamond has it. It was pathetically simple, I know...but I really didn't have a clue.

I really appreciated the simple clue after Morm's brain soupifer. (Which was really clever, and I SO would have gotten if I'd read any Orson Scott Card. Or worked in a library and saw his books daily. Oh, er... nevermind then.)
Anyway, Noggin's Meteor Dialler

Silly question, does it have anything to do with Noggin Television Station?

It'll have to be easy. There's a reason I don't often reply to these!
As cold as death.

symestreem! I've heard many good things about you
However, you're not right.

Hookbill the Goomba perhaps?
"Alive without breath" is another part of Gollum's riddle about fish as I recall. |

B-W comes to mind...yet I think it's probably more cryptic isn't it?

Crystal Heart comes to mind, being an RPer and having "risen from the dead".

Actually, come to think of it, you're on the right track with the second part of your statement, too. |

What in Arda are you doing here, symestreem? (And yes, I'm not used to calling you that - not anymore.)
Anyways, Diamond18? A way wild guess here. Well, she's an RPer, and she has just lately roamed around the rest of the forum again. |

Nope, not Diamond18. Here's a hint: the clue refers to a personal title. |
