Is this like the one about the mail man?

[text]

[nodice]

Well, can you take a mailman's parts off?

I suppose so. A mailman without his leg is still a mailman. A mailman without his arm is still a mailman. But by the time he lost so much that can't do his job anymore, what is he?

[ But you caught him, that was the basis for this thought play. Congrats, point for you. ]

... actually, I meant the one where you take his letters.

[nodice]

That one's too easy, isn't it?

[text]

[starcharted]

Depends on who you ask. Some people aren't very good at riddles.

[text]

[nodice]

Isn't that for the better? If you can just solve it, it isn't very puzzling. That might be missing the point of a riddle, if you ask me.

(゜-゜)??? Is there really an actual answer to that?

[text]

[nodice]

Well, what do you think? (￣■￣;)!?

[ He's only ironically emoji-ing back. Surely.... ]

Re: [text]

[yokubo]

(」゜ロ゜)」 I-I don't know!!!

[nodice]

Are you even thinking or are you just typing out random nonsense to let your fingers moving disguise the fact that your brain won't do the same?

[yokubo]

Just because I haven't answered yet doesn't mean I won't! I might just have to think about it a while...

[nodice]

If that's what it takes for you, then suit yourself.
Time, we have enough of here.

Re: [text]

[birdinhand]

I like you already.

"Freedom."

The only difference between here and the outside is who the trouble comes from and how visible the walls are. It's prison either way, darling.

Well, what do you know, we've got a philosopher here~

a zombie! take away all a zombie's parts!

text

[nodice]

Creative but w-r-o-n-g.
A zombie without any physical parts would be more of a ghost, wouldn't it?

[closeminded]

nuh uh
undead and ghosts are entirely different!

[nodice]

So you're an expert?

[closeminded]

i wonder if i'm a zombie sometimes

[mysterioustransferstudent]

Hope. There are several correct answers, of course, but I would say that hope is my preferred option today.

[nodice]

Coooorrect! Congratulations, you pass!

[ Because he considered different answers that are variable by inner feeling - in itself the riddle hadn't had any answer Kaiba preferred. It was the riddle-solving attitude that mattered. ]

[mysterioustransferstudent]

Oh? Was this a test?

[Koizumi was all about the riddle-solving attitude. He was the over-analytical type even before, and now that he was cooped up in prison all the time his mind was constantly in overdrive trying to find something interesting to do.]

[nodice]

Force of habit, oops.

If it was a test... would that change anything for you?

[mysterioustransferstudent]

Not particularly, but I would want to know what was being evaluated.
