[@Lucius Cypher]Kenji wobbled as the massive woman slapped his shoulder, and had to use his spear as a crutch to keep himself from falling over.

"The meat you talk about--" he managed, before gesturing to the scene in the street behind him, where the corpses of the God Hand still lay.

"The monsters of this world, can their meat be consumed safely--without some kind of side effect, like, I dunno, zombie infections--like regular livestock?" He tried to speak quickly before she could slam the door in his face, as she didn't seem to be interested in anything he had to say yet. "And can their hides be used for leather, or can their corpses be put to any kind of practical use? I'll sell you and the people of this town their remains, if you have use for them--Otherwise, the only way for me to get any money is through the Church."

He might be taking more of a risk here than he thought; if the other townspeople were as devoted to obeying the Church as the Mayor and that woman had been when they spoke of the God Hands' ritual, the butcher might turn that cleaver on him. But he felt like there had to be some kind of distrust going on there...surely, even if they didn't have the power to stop it, the townsfolk as a whole couldn't just lie down and accept their cruel fates...
