The unpleasant odour forced us back into the ship’s interior, just in time for breakfast at the Main Dining Room. Was rather surprised that we were the first in the queue. Guessed the rest went with the all-you-can-eat buffet at Windjammer Marketplace. The waiter recommended their Danish pastries and croissants, so we got a plate of it. Pretty decent tasting if you asked me, will be better if warmed up first. Colleague had the Seasonal Fruit Plate and The Classic Benedict – two poached eggs, bacons and creamy hollandaise sauce on toasted English muffins.
Me, I opted for the Express Breakfast with two glossy scrambled eggs, not crispy at all bacons, very tough smoked sausage links, crispy hash brown and half a grilled tomato. Other than the bacons and sausages, I enjoyed the other three items.
Roommate wanted to go Windjammer Marketplace for the Milk and Yogurt. I had the peach flavoured yogurt and it tasted horrible, nothing like the fruit at all. Gotten the same answer from my colleague too. Pineapple one fared a little better but it won’t topple Meji yogurt from my list.
Tea Leaf Egg or Tea Egg (茶叶蛋) wasn’t prepared the correct way. Putting the whole eggs intact in the tea leaves soup did almost nothing for the eggs. The correct method is to boil the eggs first in water then crack the shell and boil/soak them in tea. Cracks in the shell allows the tea mixture to seep in creating the marble-like patterns and imparting the flavours. Sorry, I didn’t show you the deshelled egg as the shell was stuck to the egg white so there were many holes and “craters” trying to peel it. :(

is the dialogue and pacing clunky and weird? ABSOLUTELY
do I care? NOT PARTICULARLY
because @ecto-american said this on discord:
and what am I if not the most predictable engine for Jack/Maddie/Vlad content, regardless of its Objective Quality??? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I make myself laugh, idc
(open in a new tab if they’re too small to read btw, sorry I didn’t draw these with any intentions to be in like, a sensible order or size)

As much as I love talking about Thirteen being a feral serial killer bastard I do think the fact that she is also deeply compassionate is....really important not to overlook? Like the specific way in which she Cares So Much is so fundamentally important to why she’s ruthless. Thirteen is the kind of person who will commit genocide against a (perceived or factual) evil to save even one person she loves. She’s willing to be cruel to protect her favorite people and her favorite planet. She has so much kindness and so much brutality inside her and I think it’s important to hold those things in tension rather than come down hard on one side or the other

valletta is so smart and it sometimes makes my life EXTREMELY difficult
her monthly flea preventative comes in a tube and the tube is in a little foil packet. she knows exactly what it sounds like when i rip open that packet and the moment she hears it she RUNS, like "mother no, you may Not squirt the bad juice down the back of my neck!"
so i started opening the foil packet when she isn't around and just carrying the tube around in my pocket waiting for a good moment to apply it. except then she ALSO figured out when i pierce the top of the tube, idk if she can smell the meds or if it's the sound the plastic lid makes but she knows. she ALWAYS knows
so tonight she ran from me when i opened the packet. and i bided my time. i distracted her with delicious treats in the hope of catching her out but she knew. so as soon as i opened the tube and she ran away like NOOOOOOOOO
so i had to carry this open tube around with me for half an hour until she thought i had given up and then i squirted it down the back of her neck while she was trying to eat half a burger leftover from my tea. she was SO distraught. how could i betray her in this manner?? where is my sense of HONOUR?
