When I arrived at La Gueule De Saturne for work this morning, I wasn't at all expecting to hear Vince's voice yelling, "What the hell are these things?" from the kitchen.
When I enter the kitchen, I'm surprised to see a group of cute red, yellow, and blue creatures "taking care" of the kitchen. They look like plants, as they have long stems with a leaf at the end.
Some creatures carried kitchen tools, others watched food cooking with astonishing fascination, others even put food on plates!
"Vince!" I say to my boss, surprised by everything that's happening.
"Rody."
"How did they get there?"
"No idea."
"Your cooks work anyway. That's surprising."
"Nothing will stop my bistro from running, NOTHING!"
I jump. His words are sharp as a knife. I hate when he's angry.
"Uh... still... should I try to get them out?"
"No, go do your job as a waiter, that's what I hired you for."
"Rude." I whispered.
"GO DO YOUR JOB!"
"Yes, Chef!"
I run out of the kitchen and think I've heard one of the plant creatures laughing.
On my break, I dare to return to the kitchen. Vince isn't there. He's at his office. The creatures are still there. I knock on his door.
"Vince?"
No answer.
"Vince? Can I come in?"
"No."
I sigh. He's annoying today.
"Okay."
I was about to leave to empty the garbage when he said a single word, "Pikmin."
"Pikmin?"
"That's their name. At least, I think so."
"That's good to know. Well, I have the garbage to clear out."
I finish my break early and go to empty the garbage. The Pikmin watch me all the way. What strange creatures.
