💜 50 Dialogue Prompts // CLOSED 💜

"No, I guess I don't." Jude replied. His response was calm, agreeable almost. Perhaps he should have felt a little disappointed at being pushed away so hard, but he couldn’t bring himself to feel anything but understanding. After all, that was a mutual understanding between them: despite what they let on, neither truly knew as much about the other as they thought they did at the end of the day. There were so many secrets each was keeping, held tight against their chest and smothered by careful hands in the hopes that such darkness would never se the light of day. Jude understood it all too well. With revelation came risks - risks that they just weren’t willing to take. And so he smiled a gentle smile and nodded a bit.

“But we’re two sides of the same coin, ain’t we?” He picked at the food on his plate, turning over a slice of sizzling orange duck with his fork to reveal the creamy seasoned sweet potato underneath mash underneath. “Umbrella made us who we are. We’re not the same people now as we were when we walked into that org. And we walked out of there with more secrets and more baggage than most people might ever know in ten lifetimes. We could dig forever and we’d still never scrape the bottom of that barrel. That’s just the way it is.” He shrugged, plucking up a cut of his meat and popping it into his mouth.

“And that’s okay. Because I don’t need to know about you. Not until you’re ready to tell me about yourself anyway. I just want to know you. What you like. What you do. Why you’re here. Who you are. You ain’t gotta give me a full history lecture; picking open old wounds is rough enough without the added pressure. Believe me, I know,” he paused, raising the short sleeve of his shirt to reveal a scar which promptly split open to reveal two rows of shark-like teeth and an inhumanly long, bluntly-forked tongue. He offered the alternative mouth his next bite of food, before smiling and looking back at Hunk.

“We’re a lot more alike than we are different, Hunk. Barrin’ the obvious. And you have a place now: here, with the rest of us.” like the fact he was an experiment and Hunk was the grandly acclaimed Grim Reaper - infamous former agent of Umbrella. Another long pause as he set his silverware down on the now clean plate and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He set the rag aside and looked back up at his company, slowly standing up from his seat. “When you decide you’re ready to get settled and start talkin’, you come and find me. My door’s always open and there’ll always be a hot meal and a spot on the couch for ya.”

Jude turned to leave, only stopping to look back over his shoulder one last time. “You’re part of a team now. And part of our pack. And we don’t leave people behind just because of a little extra weight. Remember that.” And just like that, the hulking lug was stepping out the door of the kitchen and heading out to join the other members of S.W.O.R.D.S. in their dorms, leaving their newest member with a lot to think about.

10 Must Try Icelandic Food and Drinks

Iceland has been the rage of late possibly due to Frozen 2 and we would be foolish to not check out what this country has to offer. In terms of food. Because we believe food plays an equally important role in promoting a country’s culture and we want to know what this frozen tundra has to offer for our tastebuds. But first a short introduction to the country itself.

Written by Tania Wee

Famously known as the Land of Fire and Ice (Game of Thrones, anyone?), Iceland is an island born out of volcanic eruptions over millions of years. Fast forward to now and here we are, gifted with one of most scenic and untouched icy countries in the world. In fact, because of its northern location, it has more land covered by glaciers than all of Europe combined. Reykjavik, its capital is the world's most northern capital. Twice every decade, the country generally experiences volcanic eruptions which spews more lava onto the landscape and changing it even more. Europe's largest waterfall, Gullfoss, is also located in Iceland.

Everyone knows about Iceland’s dramatic natural scenery but little do people know of its equally dramatic cuisine. Taking advantage of the ingredients they have around them, Iceland food tend to be natural with less GMOs and artificial ingredients. Think free-roaming sheep, fresh cod and char. If you’re ever in Iceland, this is the list to follow for their must try food and dishes.

1. Fermented Shark

Hakari aka fermented shark is one of the many traditional, national dish of Iceland and automatically a must try for visitors and tourists. Despite being the national dish, you will be surprised to learn that the consumption of this dish relatively low even amongst the locals (yay for the sharks!) It was more commonly eaten back in the day when refrigerators weren’t invented yet.

2. Hot Spring Rye Bread

The concept of this dish baffles to the rest of the world but despite what its name sounds like, it doesn’t mean eating it in or near a hot spring. This popular Nordic bread can be found easily in groceries around the country. But what truly makes it unique is its baking method – by burying the potted dough in a deep hole near the hot springs. The process then takes about 24 hours to bake the bread. The natural method of baking results in a sweetish dark bread that goes well with other Icelandic meals.

3. Puffin

Most would be familiar with puffin as the web browser or that weird looking black bird. It almost never occurs to us that in Iceland where majority of the population of puffins reside, this seabird is another national dish known as Hakarl. It is one of the delicacies on the Icelandic food menus throughout the country. It tastes close to beef and has a distinct seafood taste mostly due to the bird’s own seafood diet.

4. Fish stew

Known as Plokkfiskur in Iceland, it is a traditional Icelandic dish prepared from boiled cod or haddock mashed together with the white sauce, onions, and potatoes. With seafood as their main bread and butter, Icelanders love to fish and they always use fresh fish which is no exception in this dish. This famous fish stew is also served with dark rye bread and butter.

5. Brennivin

Sometimes called “Black Death”, this is a local spirit which is similar to unsweetened schnapps. It is the country’s national alcoholic beverage and taste close to vodka. The dominant flavour in Icelandic Brennivín is cumin and caraway, which gives it a taste some find reminiscent of anise or liquorice. The drink is famous during the Porrablot winter festival.

6. Skyr

A marriage between yogurt and cottage cheese, Skyr is the way to go if you want to eat like a local. Made from pasteurized skim milk and a bacteria culture similar to yogurt, this thick and creamy delicacy is often served with cream and tart berry jam and tastes a bit like Greek yogurt and creme fraiche. You can eat it with sugar, but most locals love it au natural.

7. Icelandic Hot Dogs

Photo by Street Cuisine

You must be thinking – why go all the way to Iceland for hot dogs?? But almost everyone online and offline has recommended their hot dogs. Unlike the usual sausages, the types over there are made from a blend of lamb, pork and beef encased into natural casings. To top it off is of course, the toppings. A magical combination of ketchup, sweet mustard, fried onions, raw onions and remoulade sauce (mayo and sweet relish).

8. Icelandic Meat Soup

Ah, perhaps the best thing in a chilly country like Iceland – hearty hot meat soup. This flavourful stew is a concoction of lamb, root vegetables, rice and herbs and as many Icelanders would agree, the best thing to sip on when the day turns overcast. I am sure many Asian would agree as this easily resembles our signature ABC soup.

9. Dried Fish

In the local language, Harðfiskur literally means hard fish, an Icelandic delicacy that most locals love. It may sound gross to many foreigners, but it is Iceland´s favorite snack. Locals eat it with salted butter while watching a movie. It is thought to be a healthy alternative to chips or popcorn.

10. Sheep Head

Okay, out of everything we have so far, this has got to be the most outlandish dish on the list. But don’t be thrown off by the presentation. Every part of the Svio or sheep head can be eaten. Some might argue that the cheek and tongue are the best while others will say it’s the eyes. Icelandic sheep are not fed on grain or growth hormones and have a natural diet, hence giving it a more refined taste.

Of course, there are more…otherworldly things to eat in Iceland such as blood pudding and ram testicles. But we believe this list is as good as any to give you that head (pun intended) start.
