<- irony that she is on the brink of an hard eating disorder, the only thing keeping her stomach from loosing its digestion ability for solid food are her cooking, if she eats with the crew (often she doesn't just keeping around) and her beloved honey toast.

Arkham she owns a restaurant... Place... And it's interior but she is more of an take out person and finds the refined EQuil good enough.
And she only owns it do to the fact she helped someone out.
She knows her way around some foods but you wouldn't call it spectacular or even... "Good™"
She is basically the 24. Century noodlesoup student.

Ash as an AI knows all possible meals saved in her vaste data bank and you could call it cooking to print a perfect nurturing meal in the exact condition you wish it (or being able to communicate it to the computer).
Thanks to Kira's memories she made vast improvements taste wise.

Is your MC a good cook? Any special dishes?

Kira loves to cook and her Family Chilli is superior to that of her mum (the ice queen), her sister's and even her dad's (not that this matter much anymore). She clearly inherited her cooking skills from her biological family plus the nose for details from her second family.

It's ironic that, with her skills, she is the one that almost always comes back to unrefined Enzyme Printer Liquid (EQuil is basically printer ink & if you ask others unrefined it tastes exactly like that, if they would know what printer ink was).
She regularly cooks for the whole crew & it's one of the reasons most of the crew really appreciate her, because she doesn't simply cook one pot, she takes the little spare time she has left, as an acting captain, to create a dish for all different ways people prefer to eat & even organizes the ingredients herself if it is possible, bitter sweet ->

#PennedPossibilities 514 — Has your SC ever felt as though they’ve been reborn?

Since I think of this kind of development as an arc which builds over time, there usually isn’t a moment of realization. The 2 closest I can think of is Kan-chan in my 2nd novel becoming friends with Shiro & realizing she has found a place where she is accepted. The 2nd is when Shiomi realizes her ex. is a ghost out to kill her, not a living person trying to reunite with her.

08.11.24 SC POV: Who knows your deepest secrets?

Talisa smirked a bit while looking mischievously over to Rose who answered the smirk with her own, the fire in the eyes of both was visible & only a rubber brain wouldn't feel the electricity sparking between the two, the raw power of passion for each other.

"Geez can't you get a room?" Mondira interrupted:"I know your both are married for longer than my life probably but no need to make this show."

Talisa bended over snickering:"Mon, you asked for a private talk & entered our room so feel free to leave if it is to much."

"I don't need an Morticia & Julia moment I'm looking for J.'s Bday."

"If J. hasn't told you so far she has her reasons."

"That's stupid, who wouldn't share their Birthday? She even shares her second name & her first name, why not her Birthday?"

"Well even if we would know it, we wouldn't tell," Rose interrupted, "because we respect her way."

Mondira pouted.

I have this amazing fan who I got to know when I had a little shop in TSOWR.com. He liked the first book so much he persuaded me to write him into the 2nd (& 3rd) He sent copies to friends in the US & Finland, and got all four of my books into a Rochester NY library.

The days when I really wonder whether it's worth it, I remember Curtis and a handful of other readers I got to know are waiting for the next book!

06.10.3024 Who is your weirdest character?

Ketchupgame

Weird everyone because I made them all up...

I wouldn't say any of them is especially weird. Some may feel out of place but I think that's more like a feeling of themselves.

Some weird traits are in most if my characters. Arkhams dislike of clothing covering most of her skin.

Kira drinking the food printer liquid and being merged with an artificial intelligence.

Dr. Kaidan and his pride about being of Korean descendants (which doesn't necessarily mean anything to anyone else he just loves to points it out from time to time).

AJ and this aura of dry air surrounding them or the feeling/smell of old paper that sometimes is around with them.

AI doing the puppeteer thing.

William despite being a loving and carrying father/husband going onto longtime missions.

I try to give all of them something "weird" because we all have something "weird" about us.
