"Why's a raven like a writing desk," actually.

And my favorite answer is "because Poe wrote on both."

Well y-yes, but that's not six words. I didn't want to b-break the rules.

That's a good one, but there are just s-so many.

"Why's" not "how's" and you could have done "writing-desk" but I'm just nitpicking. I said that that one was my favorite.

Y-You give riddles too many rules. Rules a-are for math. Mathematics is structure and formula.

Riddles are chaotic and i-imaginative.

Riddles are far from chaotic, they're rational and logical. Unless you're Lewis Carrol, of course.

H-Hi, it's nice to meet you?

You're saying you're Lewis Carrol?

W-Well my real name is Charles Carroll-D-D-Dodgson...but yes?

Lewis Carroll the Lewis Carroll, was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and he's been dead since 1898 so there's that problem.

Y-Yes.

I know.

This is...hard to explain. I don't entirely know how it w-works....

Try me.

W-Well...

From what I gather, I'm...him? But reincarnated so to speak.

I've heard stranger.

Well n-now I'm interested.

Do you know what Shinigami are?

...No, but I would like to?

In Japanese mythology a shinigami is a death-god, there are a lot of different legends about them. But, as it turns out, they're more than just legends.

...F-Fascinating. Can you tell me more about them?

They all look like they came out of Tim Burton's drunken nightmares.

...Tim Burton when he was good or n-now?

Good. Back before every movie was just a Hot Topic merchandise commercial and/or excuse to jerk Johnny Depp off. Stitches, fangs, torn wings, skeletal claws, all just sort of thrown together. And they're all huge fuckers.

That's...amazing.

I'd like to meet one.

The one I knew personally was an idiot. Would do anything if you threatened him or gave him a piece of chocolate. Sidoh's his name. Although the gender thing doesn't real make sense, they don't reproduce, they don't even have genitalia.

*Is absolutely fascinated*

I don't really care that he was an idiot. I'd still love to meet one.

[Shakes his head] Man's not meant to fuck around with death.
