C'Pi and the clones headed back inside the Hall of Ham. As they were
walking, C'Pi looked over the box. It was wrapped in plain, brown
paper, and taped
shut. There was no return address on the box, only a label.
To:
C'Pi Prime
Hall of Ham
RASSM City
WARNING, CONTENTS PERISHIBLE.
C'Pi shook the box, but it didn't make any noise.
"They put that warning label on food deliveries, right?" one of the
clones asked.
The group walked to a table that Muuurgh, Jade and Gumby were all
sitting around.
"What's that?" Muuurgh wanted to know.
"No idea, it just came."
C'pi set the box on the table and ripped off the paper, then lifted up
the flaps on top.
"Aaaaaargh!" C'Pi and his clones all let out a yell at the same time.
As one, their eyes rolled back in their sockets, and they all fainted.
Gumby, Muuurgh and Jade clustered around the table and looked inside
the box.
"Ugh, I think I'm gonna be sick." Gumby put it's hand to it's mouth,
and ran to a window. It took several deep breaths, then walked back
over to the table.
"That is sooo gross."
Inside the open box was the head of one of C'Pi's clones, removed from
it's body.
"Why?"
"Why is it gross?"
"No. I know why it's gross. Why do something like that?"
"Dunno. Some sort of message to C'Pi or the Porkinites, I would
guess."
"Wonder where the rest of him is."
"I don't want to know where the rest of him is, or what condition it's
in."
"Who sent it?"
"No idea. There's no return address or any special markings. It's
just a plain, brown paper wrapped box."
"Wait, there's something else in here too." Jade spoke up, then
reached inside. "Man, now *that's* just plain rude." The Archon
pulled out the other item in the box. It was a hand, cut off at the
wrist. All fingers except for the middle one were curled down into
the palm.
=====================
Summary:
C'Pi gets a delivery of a box (postage due) wrapped in plain brown
paper, with no return address.
Inside the box is the severed head of one of his clones.
Also inside the box is a severed hand, giving everyone the finger.
