One day Chama was being lynched by a mob of about 300 in the low chanks, and several of her closest associates gathered to perform an intervention on her because of their concern:
"Chama, we know youse a goddess, but can't you put this aside?
"Other people have rights too.
"Yes Chama, I mean look around you; your best thinking got you here.
"Chama, don't you think it's time for a little self reflection?
"Yes, Chama. You can go over how you could make this a better place for you to be.
"You have that power Chama.
Chama say:
No my power is shapeshifting and speaking back across centuries to my younger self. I can hide my back, scalp and neck spurs with alien technology. I can fly in a F-suit or grow my wing. I can lift shiny coins through telekinesis and slight of hand from air pockets in the steady stream of important and influential flakes who cross my sound threshold.
Chama continue:
I cannot make this a better place for me to be right now.
Interventionists:
"This is what concerns us. You've lost the ability to master your own destiny, and on the frontier, that means mental illness.
Chama respond:
Dats booshia.
Chama continue:
Caw deeze mthyuhphkas off.
Interventionists:
"We calling you off, baybidumplins. You hereby denied the right to perpetrate on any of those damaged and frightened neighbors and chankspeople you see before you and shall apoligize for working them up into that level of a froth by your tone.
Interventionists continue:
"And torches costs money.
Chama say:
This is me. This is what you get with me. You brought me into the system. You were following the Law then. This is who I am. I come with crowds. This is what you get with me when you let them in. You found me banging on the door begging for bureaucracy. I thought it was a meritocracy, but chall was I dim. Turns out I am a delivery boy: I brought the Him.
Chamatilly continue:
BTW, can I get a square? Can I get paid?
Interventionists:
[No answer. No answer.]
