21. O-ma-Chicken, O-ma-Potatoes

We return.

This time they let us in.

They were waiting for us.

They play on 6 wooden boards.

The boards are complemented with blocks of woods & bones.

Red, green, yellow, purple.

They hit the keys with small mallets.

They’re serving large plates of potatoes.

P:”They’re Purple.”

R:”Is that all you have to say?”

The woods players are dancing.

Some of them are playing heavily.

Must be the moss.

P:”What are they celebrating?”

R:”You must have an idea.”

P:”Why did we kill this Chicken?”

R:”Why did you do it?”

P:”It was in pain.”

R:”It is your reason.”

P:”Yes.”

R:”It is good enough.”

The music continues to clink.

The roasted potatoes, just off the fire, come to the table.

P:”You’ll have some.”

R:”I will have 1.”

P:”It would be disrespectful otherwise.”

R:”Then you’ll take them out of respect.”

The guide passes me the plate.

P:”Ah.”

Guide:”Ah.”

R:”…”

P:”O-ma-Potatoes.”

Guide:”O-ma?”

P:”They look like they like that.”

Guide:”O-ma…”

R:”Meaning it must be safe to eat.”

P:”You don’t take 1.”

R:”I’ll have 1 off your plate.”

P:”No.”

Guide:”O.”

R:”It’s a wild species.

It’s seems to been homegrown.”

P:”You know that?

Or you think that?”

R:”The gardens…

The Fields are built on bones.

That’s 1 of their main source of food.

They grow faster when planted near human bones.”

P:”Why?”

R:”Calcium-rich soil.”

P:”How’d you know that?”

R:”When we return…”

They brought the Giant Chicken’s Corpse.

They Barbecued it.

P:”The smell…”

R:”The smell of triumph.”

P:”That’s stupid.

I just haven’t eaten in days.”

R:”Probably.”

They pass us a plate filled with grilled parts.

They’re covered with a sweet golden sauce.

P:”…”

R:”How is it?”

P:”Can’t speak.”

R:”Birds Eggs were found in the nest.

They will Gather them, now the area is safe.”

P:”…”

R:”I suppose they intend to Raise the Chicks.”

P:”They’ll create another of these things.”

R:”Accidents happen.

It is nature, after all.”

P:”You won’t bring 1 back to study it.”

R:”They may better, if left in their care.”
