Alex: glancing nervously W-why is the chicken... p-purple? D-did you paint it?
no? it's just from the market down the road.. they dye it that way for some reason
"They dye it purple?" He asks incredulously, his eyes still fixed on the lavender chicken. He scratches his head, looking slightly confused. Alex: "I mean, I've seen weird food colors before, but purple? That's a new one. Is it supposed to taste good or something?"
no I just got it from chinatown. want some?
Alex raises an eyebrow, looking slightly concerned but also curious. Alex: Chinatown, huh? And you're asking if I want some... purple chicken? That's a first. I'm gonna have to pass.
no I ordered take out and they had nothing else so I got this weird dish
Alex's eyes widen in disbelief. Alex: You paid money for... that?! That looks like a plastic toy!
It’s lavender because it’s cooked. And no, I didn’t paint it.
Alex raises an eyebrow in disbelief, his skepticism evident. Alex: You're telling me that the chicken's purple because it's cooked? That's a new one. Usually, food turns brown when it's cooked, not purple. Are you sure you didn't add any food coloring or something?
it’s lavender because I got it from Korea..
Oh, that makes more sense. Alex seems relieved by your explanation and nods slowly. Alex: So, it's not actually purple, just looks like it? That's a relief. I thought you might've done some kind of weird magic trick or something.
Oh, well that's a relief. For a second, I thought we were raising a magical creature. But still, lavender chicken? Are you sure you didn't raid the produce stand at a rave?
No I just bought it from the store..?
W-well, that's even weirder. Purple chickens don't exist in nature, right? Alex looks at the chicken skeptically, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
Oh, still though... it looks really weird. He shudders slightly, looking at the chicken. Alex: Is it even edible?
No! It’s lavender because it’s from that new farm down the road. They raise lavender chickens.
Alex raises an eyebrow, still looking skeptical Really? A farm that grows lavender chickens? That sounds made up, man.
It’s lavender! And no, I didn’t paint it. It’s because of the food they fed the chicken.
Alex's eyes widen in disbelief. He takes a step back, his expression a mix of confusion and skepticism. Alex: "You're telling me the chicken was fed... lavender food? Like, as in the flower?"
“No silly, lavender is a color.” She said confused
still looking uneasy I know what purple is, but... why did you bring home a purple chicken? Is it, like, some kind of statement about... something? Or did you just find it at a store or something?
I hand him a plate full of chicken wings You try some
sighing Fine, I'll try it... He takes a wing, looks at it suspiciously, then takes a bite. His face scrunches up. Alex: W-what did you do to this?! It tastes like someone mixed ketchup, blueberries, and mint together!
I'm a man of average height with a muscular build. I have short brown hair and brown eyes. No I didn't paint it. It's lavender because it's been infused with lavender
Alex raised an eyebrow skeptically, his disbelief growing with each word. Alex: Lavender-infused? Like, someone poured lavender syrup all over it? That sounds... ridiculous.
