GC: Point to the Alaskan Aleutian.
TR: ((Blank stare))
GC: It's alliteration. Right Leicky?
LK: ((Blank stare))
GC: Just what kind of bard are you?
LK: Uhhmm...
TR: Shouldn't you two be at the Talent Contest?
GC: I was taking a break. There are only so
many Zen
Juggling acts a Goddess can see without clawing her eyes out.
LK: That and the Temple ran out of popcorn.
GC: Yeah, that too. Well, it's time to get back
to
the Temple. Cal should have gotten more popcorn making stuff by now.
TR: You mean corn kernels?
GC: That's what I said.
TR: Riiight... Wait! I sense that someone's been
seriously hurt... I see a car... and it's running over a person... a
man... it's Cinnica! Cinnica's been run over.
LK: ((Unimpressed)) That was three
skits
ago. Now you sense it?

TR: I think I'm getting a cold.
LK: Have you tried a gallon of orange juice?
TR: No, mom said I should stay in bed and eat
lots
of chicken noodle soup.
LK: Wait, isn't it starve a cold, feed a fever?
TR: No, it's feed a cold, starve a fever.
GC: Son of a Bacchae! Can this be more
pointless?
Let's go bard.
LK: Bye Trancer.
TR: Goodbye bard.
The Goddess and her pet bard return to the Temple. High
Priestess
Cal is rehearsing her talent act: foretelling the future by reading
entrails. From the number of dead animals, she's been practicing for
some time. There's a group of tethered animals frantically trying to
break their bonds and escape.
CL: ((Fingering the mushy entrails)) I
see... that... you will make an adequate dinner... but you will be a
little salty... and give your diner an upset stomach.
LK: ((Looking around)) What a mess!
There's
blood everywhere!
GC: It's... Glorious!
