Chapter 6.1 - October 2022 - Part III: Surrounded by the strange and unfamiliar..

Sofia woke up first on the third day of them heading south, thinking about children again as she walked to the mirror to check up on her appearance..





Breakfast time and their conversation this time revolved mostly around work, before this lady sat down at their table to eat. They woke up a little later this morning, so the breakfast area was already quite full and eating spaces were limited.



Palash had finished eating and quickly excused themselves from the table to explore Mid Deck 1 of the ship...





Once there, their outing immediately becomes a date and they find themselves in what looks like an indoor playground area for kids... Palash would probably like this place, but for Sofia this would probably be less than ideal. She gets the negative moodlet, because of course, this place has attracted children...



And then this woman runs over to Sofia to yell at her, asking what she is doing there in the play area without a child of her own!

Sofia: What is your problem, lady? I was just exploring the ship with my husband! I didn't know this was a play area for kids!

(Sofia didn't know about this, but I did... o:) )




Sofia: Palash, I don't think this is a place for us.. lets get out of here...





Sofia runs right across the ship and into another area with arcade machines and bowling lanes where she is approached by this guy with hydrophobia.. and yet he decided to go on a cruise to surround himself with water... :P



Sofia thinks he is a bit of a dork. This cruise ship sure has attracted some weird people. :P



Palash has found a foosball game, so she joins him to play, but wouldn't you know, this dork guy decides to follow her there to cheer at her game. :P



Palash is thinking about the woman that started fighting with Sofia earlier. He hopes that she won't decide to follow them as well..



They keep playing until Sofia needs to use the bathroom. During their game Palash tries different ways to bring up the topic about children, but Sofia is only interested in talking about their home or marriage in general.



Afterwards, Sofia goes to play at one of the arcade machines, but once again this lady runs over to hear to start another fight. This time there is no speech bubble, so it is unclear what she is fighting about, but she seems to have decided not to like Sofia for whatever reason...



The ladys name is Hulda Ogden, and what must be her son, because his name is Nils Ogden, approaches Sofia to ask where she is from. Sofia happily answers the boy, but his mother does not like this, and gets furious again...



She can't be all stable that one and Sofia is starting to think she has some issues and wants to get out of there...



Mother and son then share some gossip, and Sofia laughs heartily with them though, trying to keep a good mood in this strange situation..



The boy then goes away to play with the shuffle board, and the mother turns to Sofia with ghostly thoughts on her mind... right, ok..



Another lady in green clothing approaches Sofia and asks for a water balloon fight, but such a childish activity is not at all to Sofias liking..and especially not here, amid all the electronic equipment! "What are you thinking!?" Sofia shouts at her.



And speaking of electronics, Sofia just has to brag to the ladies about her brand new X-phone 13 Pro, as if they care.. that's just so lame... so they both abandon her and leave her to play with the foosball game alone...



The waves are smooth, but life is rough sometimes when you're a braggart..



Meanwhile, Palash has been out exploring the ship on his own again and has located a cafeteria two floors up and bought himself something to eat, so I send Sofia walks up there to eat with him as she is also getting hungry..



Their meal starts off nicely enough, but I don't know what's up with the people on this part of the boat, because after a while everyone gathers around their table as if.. I don't really know what..



I mean seriously... what gives? :P



Of course, to top it off a toddler starts crying and both Palash and Sofia agree to get out of there and head back to their part of the ship... at least the party goers over there had the sense to leave them alone for the most part during their meals, and better yet, atleast for Sofia, no children!



It had been a long day for both of them, so once they were back to their part of the ship, they went straight to their room and fell asleep...



Their room is the first door to the right in the hallway right in front of Sofia.



Good night. ;)
