Week 5 1/2: Monday
"Saturday after next, five o'clock, third floor, very good. And would you like any eggs to go with that?"
Jin stares out his window, caught off guard. "What eggs?"
The lady just bounces on, sounding as cheerful as if Jin was the most interesting client she's spoken to all month. "Depending on the size of the party, you could order some eggs that'll be arranged around the bottom," she suggests. "For a fuller range of our flavors."
Jin considers it, size of the party and size of the party-goers and all. But sure, eggs, why not. "That would be great, thank you. Is there anything we need to do?"
"If you could clear a space large enough for the cooling unit, that would be wonderful. The apartment has regular air-conditioning?"
Jin confirms the aircon, confirms the floor, confirms the name on the door bell and the name on his credit card because it's not like he could send them folded cash in the mail, and then he is the proud owner of a Mandarin duck, to be delivered Saturday after next as a birthday surprise, plus eggs.

Date: 2013-01-21 10:53 am (UTC)trust me. even i asked a loud "what?" when i read it. i wasn't expecting it to be actually connected to the ducks... i mean, i was actually thinking of some serious schedule or rather, jin asking that in a really sarcastic manner... pardon me...
thanks for the update, authors-san... :)

Date: 2013-01-21 10:55 am (UTC)I hope nothing will happen to the cake, it won't melt or won't fall or the party won't be cancelled.... Jin would feel miserable ):
(and call Kame for some comfort money? tehehe)(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-21 09:05 pm (UTC)And what will you do for the money? >_>
Sounds like an awesome idea, though. If you get a duck cake, send us a picture!

Date: 2013-01-21 11:27 am (UTC)Hope the duck will be properly appreciated at the party, without Meisa starting to get suspicious about Jin's sudden spending abiliity. >:>
btw, did you model the shop and the duck after a place that exists or did you make it up? because if it really exists, I'd love to check out all those ice cream animals.

Date: 2013-01-21 11:27 am (UTC)That was really a weird question if you don't have any idea about the duck.
I'm sure it's going to be an awesome birthday party.^^

Date: 2013-01-21 03:09 pm (UTC)Either he didn't take Kame seriously...Which, knowing the authors' M tendencies he should have done....Or he's just trying his best to not let the though ruin his week...Either way poor Jin-Jin....But for now, YAY ducks and the bonus eggs...!!! My stomach literally grumbled as I read about it in the previous chapters....Which....Uhm...Yeah now that work's finally not so hectic I still intend to go backwards and comment on all the previous stuff I didn't comment on....some time....This year...lol *hides*
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FIC AND THE UPDATE once again! *bows*

Date: 2013-01-21 09:09 pm (UTC)We should really not leave this duck unattended or you guys will eat it before Sara can get to it. *g*

Date: 2013-01-22 07:15 pm (UTC)Only replace the [] brackets with html <> brackets.
And you can make stuff ever smaller by adding them.
(Also, if you get e-mail notification for this and view it in text-only, not html, you should actually see all the code we just used!)

Date: 2013-02-10 10:59 am (UTC)Is there another reason for the chapter otherwise? Get the birthday set correctly and having another entry for this week. Hm… demonstrating how Jin thinks NOT about Friday. That got pretty clear. o.o

Date: 2013-02-11 10:09 am (UTC)But no, we just posted it because it happened then. If we decide to post stuff when it happens, it means we also have to post the less deep stuff when it happens. #logic
