I cast light, but my purpose is not to illuminate
Though I allow illumination, if illumination is sought
My name says more about what I allow you to do than about what I am
Or at least one of my names, but as to the other, some would say I am more window than partition
Truth be told, that name is but something I contain.
After all, the face I project is not that which I am, but rather that which I carry
And alone, I am useless.

[Darvi]

Uh... a computer monitor?

Wait no.

[GlyphGryph]

Bluh bluh bluh bluh

[Draignean]

Uh... a computer monitor?

Wait no.

Dam you ninja!

[GlyphGryph]

He took it back, though!

[Darvi]

Wait I was right when I said a monitor?

'cause that's what I'm saying again.

[GlyphGryph]

Durn, I knew I added too many lines and made it too easy. What gave it away? It was the "projection" line wasn't it?

[Darvi]

I am currently sitting in a dark room, at my computer.

I figured it after the first line

[Evergod41]

Yeah... my second moniter provides most of the white light in my room... my lamp shines on my wall which is stained that musty yellow from age... My ceiling lamps have bad wireing...

[GlyphGryph]

Since no one is even trying any more, do people want additional lines/hints for my first riddle, or is anyone still chugging away at figuring it out?

[GlyphGryph]

My face is your face,
except never as is and rarely as was,
but rather most like what you've seen,
in your eye and the minds eye,
expressed as something else,
an imitation become its own thing,
skin of stone, or wood, or clay
but likeness unmistakable

[Darvi]

A reflection?

Or a bad 'shop.

A relief?

[GlyphGryph]

You're on the right track.

[Strife26]

A child?

[Darvi]

A photograph? Self-portrait?
