Following up on Stargirl's question, here's the answer. The Embera are edible, taste like burnt chicken, kind of chewy— not much different from how reptiles usually do. That's not on itself the biggest revelation tho. Remember how they're warned about their fire-hot venom? How lethal they are?
It's just plain wrong. These sad noodles don't even have venom sacks or anything of that sort! Their bite is just that, a bite. Also, I'm pretty sure I don't have any secret resistances to poison, I'm as a regular human as I can get.
So here is a helpful guide for yer own snake dinner: Burn down something and bait them with ash, they'll slither over. They're pretty docile, but they will bite and stab if threatened, so it's better to hunt them from at least a little distance. Right, it's their tail that's their main weapon, there's a sharp blade-like bone at the end of it.
If ya wanna hints on how to prepare them on yer own in a variety of ways, just ask Zhao. Snake on the stick is possibly the easiest, tho. Making a snake soup could feed more people at once. Tho we can't all just gather for one big picnic, that could blow our cover— still, we got a few done, and ready, just let us know where you are and we can arrange a snack delivery.
—I can't stop wondering why they have such a bad reputation among the locals. If they experience Embera's bites like they describe them, then— everything is just making less and less sense.

If that's not too much to ask, think ya could find that miner dude and see how he fares? Or just gimme his name if ya don't have time and I'll do a quick sweep.
「 ooc: there's an interesting development regarding the miner guy 」

If you can find him, that'd be a big help. I don't know where he's gone off to, unless he left town somehow.

[ And with that Majima finished the conversation— for a time. Day, two or three, (time is fake anyway), and he suddenly returns with a call. Yes he did found mr McMiner ]
Ya got a moment? I have an update about that miner—

( There's a twinge of regret in his voice. Are these people real, or are they not? He feels his failure nonetheless, but he can't sit on that, because-- )
Hold on just a damn minute, what do you mean, the body "disappeared"?

I've got no idea what it could mean.
