The action, since spliced
A head lost and wandering
The body, returned.

I've always wanted to try riddles within haiku. It's a poetry in itself, riddling, but when measured so precisely, so delicately? Simply sublime.

But it seems I have my chance after all.

Hello.

Eddie? What the hell is going on?

voice;

[enigmaestro]

[HOW EMBARRASSING. For Eddie.]

Don't -- It's nothing improbable. I was missing for a few days, it seems, I really thought it was longer but --

voice;

[meowminx]

...You weren't decapitated, were you?

[ That's what she got from the riddle, okay? ]

voice;

[enigmaestro]

What?

[Baww Selina.]

As far as I'm aware, I was not, no.

voice;

[meowminx]

And where's your head now?

voice;

[enigmaestro]

Some would say in a case.

voice;

[meowminx]

[ Head... Case... ]

Oh hell.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

I wouldn't believe such blatant propaganda, though.

voice;

[meowminx]

I did ask about decapitation first, if you'll note.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

Where are you heading with this?

voice;

[meowminx]

Very few reasons why people can't have private conversations on here.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

I'm not about to illustrate them all. You get to guess, now isn't that fun?

voice;

[meowminx]

And it's pretty obvious which. Seems a bit too sudden, though.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

Doesn't it? Seems rather unnatural, as if I've been unfairly judged.

voice;

[meowminx]

And who did the judging?

voice;

[enigmaestro]

What institution isn't corrupt?
