[A Fractured Song] - Chapter 95 - Fantasy, Isekai (Portal Fantasy), Adventure
🕑 Added 2021-01-26 19:31:00 +0000 UTC(Written Jan 26, if you see this on Feb 2 updates back to normal). I will be taking a break from updates on Thursday this week as I am coughing a storm and he also used the entire weekend working on an important job application instead of writing. Hopefully, it's not the-you-know-what, but I am hanging in there quite alright and I'm off work until Friday. I wrote a short character sketch below to make it up and I am thinking of making a lore-update to flesh out a few things about Erlenberg I wasn't able to earlier.
Question of the update: What's the worst thing you've ever tasted that wasn't actual feces (so it was food that was prepared and so Chinese herbal medicine doesn't count)?
So if the question wasn't a hint, I'm Asian. Specifically Chinese, though, I actually live in Canada so I'm apparently Chinese diaspora? Whatever the term is I consider myself Chinese-Canadian. My mom however has a habit of making these Chinese soups that... I just don't like. She's an amazing cook, but she tends to put herbs in the soup and yeesh, never like em, still don't, still have to drink them.
Character answers:
Frances: ... If... if we're excluding the times I was trash-hunting, and if my biological mother and Dan weren't making me eat scraps.... then I think the worst thing I've ever had was mom's first attempt at poutine.
Elizabeth: Edana's bad at cooking?
Frances: No! She's not bad at cooking, but the dish is from our world and well, you know how easily people in Durannon can mess up fries.
Martin: Ohhhhh yeah I remember that. You took two days to drill my cooks to make good fries. (See chapter 63).
Frances: blushes Oh yeah I did...
Ginger: Fries?
Ayax: I'll remind cuz to make you some. They're really good.
Elizabeth: Anyway, so I'm allergic to almonds, but I didn't know that I was for the longest time. When II was a kid, I tried this dish called um... I don't know it's a Chinese dish with almond tea and well, after I drank it, I started choking. I remember it was good, but um... yeah. Can't look at almonds the same way again.
Martin: shivers. My mom's... that is my Countess mom, is really really bad at cooking. She's so bad that we tried one of her pies and we very nearly broke our teeth on it. I felt really bad for her. She's really good at most things, but cooking is just not her strong suit.
Ayax: How did you nearly break your teeth on a pie?
Martin: I don't know! She added something into it that turned it into like... this hard thing.
Ayax: Snaps her fingers. OHHHH she made flour ornaments. She must have forgotten the butter and added like salt to it and then when she baked it so it turned hard.
Frances: Mile long stare at Martin, But... but how do you forget butter in a pie crust and add salt... I ...how?
Ayax: laughs I think the worst thing I've eaten was my adoptive little brother Benjamin's first attempt at cookies. Um.... let's just say... he didn't cook them very well, and thought um... thought that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NOT ENOUGH SUGAR! Now... I have a sweet tooth like any other, but that... I think Edana could set these cookies on fire there was so much sugar in them.
Martin and Elizabeth laugh whilst Frances giggles and Ayax beams proudly. Ginger sitting there looking a little lost.
Right that's the character sketch, enjoy everybody!
