WCDT strips 3676 to 3680 (12th to 16th February 2018)
Timemaster:
Weird japanese treats! :-D
I once had some that looked like little black fish made from salty licorice. I like salty licorice. So I had one.
It turned out to be a real little dried fish, black and salty. With fishbone and entrails. Tasting exactly the way you would imagine. Like dry, salty dead fish!
I prefer Chocolate Pocky.

--- Quote from: Storel on 13 Feb 2018, 00:39 ---I notice nobody has yet commented on the part of 3676 that amused me most: Emily saying "Dang it, did I dream up another nonexistant media format?" Hmm, "another"? Is this something you do on a regular basis, Emily? :psyduck:

Instead of media, it's places I've lived in or visited. Sometimes it's a place I've actually been but it's vastly different. My paternal grandma's old one-story house with a basement suddenly has two additional floors and at least one sub-basement. The first basement has several more rooms and there's at least 10 bathrooms in the place.

Can be anything with me: Most often it's details of family-lore, like the backstory to childhood pictures of me & sistermonster, or details of Grandpa's service with the Paratroopers. Me and Mom have different recollections of several events (in the latter example, obviously, recollections of previous second-hand recollections), and I'm not entirely sure whether I've 'retconned' some imaginary details into mine. It doesn't feel like it, but ...
TL;DR - I find Emily's 'Did I dream that up?'-comment far less remarkable than her telling another person about it.
Akima:
Family mythology is like that, especially with stories about the stories of Grandfathers. "Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, but he'll remember, with advantages, what feats he did that day" on some bleak hilltop in Korea.
I have vivid memories of the block of flats my family lived in in Shanghai. When I went back years later, I found that the entire block had been demolished in part of the city's frantic development, so I couldn't confirm how far my childhood memories are accurate. The building, and in fact the entire neighbourhood, lives on only in memory now, however distorted.

(What's so bad about the lobster flavored ones?)

Maybe it was just the brand that I got, but it tasted awful. I normally love Japanese junk food.
EDIT: BTW, I think the "pregnancy belly" is Marigold's upper torso being bent back by the impact of Emily glomping her.

Ever had that dream where an IRL dead relative is still alive and they're offended that everyone thought the had died?
