Los Live On Stage
Back to Bobby-Los...
Barky was abashed at the size of the crowd he found following Los around the ship. Though he understood their adoration, he wondered what it meant and what would happen and how all these signs came together: the appearance of a human, Lullyâs son, here, so near to the Middle, and just as they were about to be destroyed, most likely, by the Deepom Army.
Just as the Prophetess prophetessied, Barky thought to his dogself while biting his own hip to dissipate an itch. The sprayed, excited version of that thought would have been very wet indeed if he had expressed it to Los, whom he found in the shipâs large, green, square auditorium. On the stage. Of all places. And just after the Earth was blown to pieces.
Yes, BeepBeep had received that awful news, and all shipmates had to threaten Guk to keep it from Los, and also to stop his awful smiling. Gukâs teeth were the size and color of cereal boxes.
Bobby-Los knew nothing of the shipboard prophetess. He hadnât heard of the explosive end of third planet from the Sun either, the sweet, happy Sun he used to stare at until it forced his retina to regenerate, while standing on a planet that no longer existed. He also had no idea that, to some in the universe, his name began with âThe.â
He did know how to name things; an active imagination and years of having to amuse himself had prepared him. And because of Losâs growing fame and itinerant, christening skill, the young space hero had to move his trailing crowd to the largest space on the ship where all the curious or needy could watch and listen: The shipâs auditoriumâs acoustics were perfect. Every wise word, or new name, bounded along olive-colored walls, along right-angled steps, and reflected from floor to ceiling to be heard by all, even those in the cubes way in the back.
The musical instrument-themed creatures sat in the first few rows and intoned softly.
Barky wagged his tail as Los spoke to the other Deepom refugees. Master renamed a very large ogre-type being from âMittensâ to âGauntlet.â A small, shy robotâwho very much reminded Bobby of his own room back home (which at this moment was in pieces that were thousands of miles apart)âwas pushed near to the stage and would not talk, but others explained the problem. Bobby renamed it from âSchtomâ to âThe Inculcator.â The robot stood taller as it slid away, back up the yellow-green aisle.
In between explanations of sports and music, and stories from Bobbyâs favorite Christmases, Halloweens, TV shows, and video game heroics, others would approach, and in this way names like âFffthhhh,â âWe-eee,â âUng,â and burpy noises were replaced with noble expressions of descriptive respect, like âStanâ and âLord Upright.â
At this, the receiver, the new Lord Uprightâa large soccer ball with two sharkâs fins at his sidesâshot upward and outward with excitement to cheers from the crowd and bursts of D-major notes from the stringed guests.
