The haunting presence

@cookieofearthbread Ft. White Lilly Cookie and Silent Salt cookie

Note: This Silent Salt is purely by my headcanons, and before we knew anything about him [this includes the pronouns btw], so anything and everything about SS is subject to change in the future at a moment's notice!

Silent Salt had been hearing things, he had been silently listening to two of his friends converse over what had just happened. The new Guardian, White Lilly, had no doubt just ripped away their friend from Eternal Sugar, the one whom they all thought had been unfortunately slain by Burning Spice.

Something deep inside had triggered him to finally take action. he decided to make his presence more known to the guardian now. And so he did.

Every time White Lilly would start to feel uncomfortable, Salt was lurking behind her mind. He would relentlessly make her uncomfortable as he focused all of his willpower on just her as if calling to her. He might not be able to do as much as Shadow milk Cookie, but perhaps if he was to one day ask for his moon magic tricks, he could do something similar to White Lilly like he's been doing to his own doppelganger. For now, this will have to do.

His silent calls and subtle signs were a calling card for HER to come to HIM. If she continued to ignore him, only then would he ask Shadow Milk Cookie to do him a favour, which he's sure he wouldn't mind since it was for a friend after all...

White Lilly could hear silent whispers that she could have sworn it was just the wind at first. In reality, it was a haunting phantom in the back of her mind, the edging feeling that something was around the corner, ready to strike her down at a moment's notice.

"Guaaarrrrdiiiaaaannnn" The hoarse whispers called around the tree.

"GuuAAaaarrrDDddiiiAAAaaaNNNnnnn" It called out again. The voice was low, deep but a whisper... Who was this voice?

"Whoa WHOA HEY HEY!!!" Okay he was not expecting this, at all! He was not supposed to be on the RECEVING end of this!

"Is this about Elder Faerie Cookie.. I have a feeling it- OOF-" And the clown is clocked right in the face. Well, more like the can makes such direct contact it makes the apparition poof into a cloud of sugar smoke.

"RUDE!"

[earthbreadandtendrils]

After her small visit with Choco werehound brute, she had actually made her way back, taking a mental note that something or someone had been watching them. Candy can't have that. They could be a spy for that order that's been meddling with her stuff. They can't have that cult running around without consequences...

She had decided to re-open an old wound and made another trail of jelly that had lead deeper within the cave. It was her personal advantage, her fighting grounds, and her preferred way of hunting.

If this nosy cookie really was with them, she'd make quick work of them.

Candy hid in the dark crevices with her blackened tendrils crawling about, her tendrils had spread along the high ceiling, it was as if she was an octopus, feeling and crawling along the ocean floor, and slowly studying its prey's next moves. She silently waited as the stalker foolishly followed the spilt jelly that seemed to lead into the center of the cavernous room.

Columns and pointed rocks were decorated on the floors and ceiling, making it a challenge for anyone to be spotted so easily, especially for her!

Some of her tendrils coiled around one of the stalactites that hung near the entrance. There was a moment where she debated on breaking them and having them fall either on them, or trapping them in this place... Instead, she decided against it and only used it to hold herself in place.

Her eyes affixed on the stranger, silently waiting for the perfect moment to make the drop on them.

She had thought for a moment, should she guide this lone cookie in one of the many smaller caverns, and use her voice instead? Nah! Why should she expose her 'ace' so quickly? If it was dire enough, she might try and put them under a spell instead... Besides, she figured if they were from that cult, she might as well have fun tormenting them and get her frustrations out, right?

Riiiight.

The Mirror and The Gummy

@earthbreadandtendrils

Was it suspicious to follow a cookie for a while? Perhaps… But they didn’t have any malicious intentions…

Rather they were simply curious about the other cookie with how strange the cookie was and how they haven’t seen another cookie like them… Especially after the stranger literally tore their arm off and wandered off despite the ‘jam’ being lost from them.

'Jam' which they followed until they arrived at the entrance of a cave.

Their mirror shifted, allowing the arm and hand to spew out, and turn towards them… Signaling… Questioning them if it was a good idea to step inside which the other only gave a simple response and nod.

“Yes, Mirror.” They spoke softly and quietly before stepping forward into the cave as the arm of the mirror moved into position; to ensure no danger came to Têtu Têtu Cookie… 

The cookie who stepped in the cave and followed the mysterious stranger.

📖 + Licorice becoming a wizard and receiving the recognition for his magic.

Send 📖+ an AU scenario to get a glance at what my muse would be like in that universe

~

Originally, Licorice failed because he tried to learn a bit of every subject instead of focusing on one. He'd also often try to mix magic to get results, but often failed because he was too hasty.

In this case, Licorice almost immediately discovers that his flavor gives him an advantage in controlling magical constructs, so he specializes in creating and summoning them instead of his servants. He studies almost obsessively, as his spare time isn't being taken up by his experiments with mixing magic.

Once he graduates - his title is "wizard", but he technically prefers "sorcerer" - he moves to Parfaedia in order to live alone, as he has no idea where his tribe went after the avalanche forced them to relocate (and in general he doesn't want to move back to the Dark Cacao Kingdom).

Ironically, he starts working for M.E.H., using his constructs to safely deal with cases of magic accidentally going out of control while Detective Almond arrests magic users with malicious intent.

Licorice continues to study and experiment on the side, but he's nowhere near as out of the box as his normal self, thus limiting what he tries.

He has absolutely no ties to Dark Enchantress or the CoD outside of any instances where they get arrested, during which he might see them in passing.

"A crunchy scuffle"

@cookieofearthbread

Uh oh! What looked like to be just an exchangement of words seemed to have turned in to something serious!

A Scuffle has erupted between Licorice Cookie and Crunchy Chip Cookie- [X] [X]

And it seems like both of them have had enough!

"You know what?! I can take you on all by myself! Bring it on short puff!"

Licorice readied his sythe and slammed the blunt end down on to the ground. The lightning that struck downwards and around Licorice cookie flickered to it's usual purple before it flashed in to shades of blues.

"I had been working much harder since you last saw me! So it's time for YOU to have a taste of MY REAL POWER!"

"FACE MY SERVANTS!"

And just like that, he had summoned his licorice servants. This was only the beginning what turned in to a brawl.

One of the servants begins to rush towards Chrunchy's chip cookie, and makes it's first swing. Something about Licorice Cookie's power had definitely changed. And something about it felt very wrong...

What will Crunchy Chip Cookie do?

[necromancyandtendrils]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | One each for Eternal Sugar, Mystic Flour, White Lily and Pure Vanilla if that's alright~ |

For each “⭐️” I get, I’ll write a headcanon about our muses.

These are all with Candy Eye Cookie

⭐️ Eternal Sugar Cookie;

Candy and ES love to play music together and sometimes times simply relax and watch the clouds in the sky humming and strumming away.

⭐️ Mystic Flour Cookie;

Candy would usually go to MF when she felt like she couldn't figure out what to do and was completely out of ideas on how to solve an issue that had occurred in her own kingdom. Sometimes it's just general advice.

⭐️ White Lilly Cookie;

Genuinely has issues with White Lilly, and that's because she's the guardian of the tree. However, she has some respect given that both WL and Candy want to find a way to reverse the corruption that had tainted the Beast cookies.

⭐️ Pure Vanilla Cookie;

She trusts him with Skyline cookie while she's gone, knowing that Skyline will be safe in his kingdom, and will get the proper care he needs while she is absent. Because of PV's kindly nature, Candy is much more relaxed in his presence... But she can't help but feel like someone else is constantly looming over his shoulder...

[ Response to X ]

Candy watched as PC eyed her, Candy tilted her head slightly as she replied to her question.

"Darkness. What do you truly desire when you say 'true' darkness? Is it showing the pains and woes to all cookies? or-"

"Do you seek true nullification? The end of all that is armageddon?" Candy's eyesings locked on to hers. With her sharp eyes, PC could clearly tell she was searching for something.

"Embracing your fate is one thing. But how far are you willing to go? And how much are you willing to twist it?"

[milk-and-trickery]

@cookieofearthbread replied to your post “"So much chaos, so much uncertainty.. SO MUCH RAGE...”:

"Hmmm...." Pure Vanilla is just going to shuffle on the spot and bring the staff closer to his body before looking away.... It was clear by his response that the comment made him squirmed.

​

"Ohh... something 'Wrong' Pure Vanilla Cookie? Did I... say something that resonates deep within your dough?" Oh.. that tone is dangerous. He's taunting the healer.

"Something you were too scared to admit? Oh, of course you are.. you're just a scared little cookie under everything.. You always have been."

[milk-and-trickery]

"Trick or Treat." White Lily gave a soft smile to the Scholar as she was using her faerie form. Was it cheating that she was using that form as a costume? Who knows.

"Oh my, White Lily Cookie! Look at how gorgeous you are! It really does suit you, you know? Even though the circumstances that led to it were.. well.. not ideal." The Scholar keeps on a smile, even though the guilt still hurts him.

That it was his own crazed hands that caused so much pain. But there was no time to dwell on that right now!

"Happy Halloween to you too, White Lily Cookie. Here you go!" White Lily receives 3 Star-Shaped Candies!

Meanwhile Shadow Milk Cookie continues to writhe and dangle in the suspended sugar ropes. 'When I get out of here, you are in so much trouble, ME!'

"Ssssh- now."

[necromancyandtendrils]

She stared at her old friend for a moment before glancing away "Tsk, well, getting myself torched like I did was not on the bucket list." She murmured bitterly before glancing back up at her.

"Sugar, I still do not understand why you and the others suddenly turned. Every cookie admired you all and looked up to you. Everything was beautiful, perfect. Why must it end the way it did?" She remembered those days, it was so long ago. Everything was perfect and peaceful. Was there something she foolishly overlooked? Was she any better than all the other cookies the beasts looked down upon? All that she knew was confronting an old friend was not something she was expecting to do since her own un-scheduled re-awakening...

BE HONEST - ACCEPTING

@necromancyandtendrils

"be honest Eternal Sugar Cookie, Do you regret anything?" FT. Candy Eye Cookie

There was a roll from the fallen angel, shifting so that she could face Candy Eye Cookie properly, as she was laying down against the cloud that had been summoned with her magic. A dull expression could be seen on her face as she pondered over the question.

Does she regret anything...?

"Mmmm.... Truthfully? There's a couple of things that come to mind such as what happened between us and what happen to you... But overall? No..." Eternal Sugar yawned before rubbing her eyes, her wings flapping for a moment, as she sat up and crossed her legs.

"I'm quite content. Why do you ask, Candy?"

[necromancyandtendrils]

Licorice Cookie had been particularly busy with something. Books all over the place, Bat-cat had been helping too it seems, however, it was currently napping on one of the piles of books scattered about within his home. It seems like the past failures, and the betrayal of Dark Choco Cookie might have been really getting to your local scheming necromancer. As if he'd EVER admit it to anyone, especially to Pomegranate Cookie, PEWY!

He lifts his head up before abruptly snapping the book shut. Which echoed a loud clap. He frowned at her when she called his name, but his expression shifted slightly, almost to a cocky smirk.

"Ohh-hoo-hoo? Is the great, Dark Enchantress Cookie already planning our next move? How wonderful! But-"

He paused and looked behind him, he seemed to be calculating something... When was the last time he rested? Didn't they JUST kidnap Butter Roll Cookie??? His eyes danced, as if trying to search for the answer, how many days passed? He then looks back at her.

"Nevermind, What is it that she has planned for me?" He asked, she now had his full attention. Especially if it relates to his glorious master.

"Are we going to need Schwarzwälder as well?" He added before finally letting her speak.

@candyeyecookie (Pomegranate and Licorice)

"Licorice Cookie" The priestess spoke, a frown appearing on her face, as she looked at the other whilst holding her mirror tightly with her hand.

It took some time to track the mage down however she knew it was important to track him down especially when their master requested her to do so even if she would have prefer to do be doing something else.

"Our master have told me that to tell you about your next mission that she has for you."

[milk-and-trickery]

"Hmmm... Nah! I think I'll keep doing it!" And proceeds to constantly poke Pure Vanilla Cookie's cheek.

"Not like you can stop me, can you, hehehehe~"

@milk-and-trickery

"Hey, hey.. Pure Vanilla Cookie! Hey! Silly Vanilly! HEY! BLONDIE!!"

...... Okay ignoring him is not working especially with the endlessly poking..... And the fact that Pure Vanilla would not be surprise if his face would become numb and he ended up with a bruise if the other kept up with it.... As such.....

".... Blondie...? That's a first and would you stop poking me please?"

[necromancyandtendrils]

He's now sitting at the windowsill, with his wings outstretched.

"Morning Pure vanilla! Hope you're ready because the early bluebird gets the gummyworm! Right?"

He chirped before lightly drumming his hands on the windowsill once more.

@necromancyandtendrils

"𝔸ℝ 𝔸ℝ 𝔸ℝℂ𝕆𝕆𝕆𝕆𝕆!" - Skyline, again.

A sigh could be heard from the healer before looking at Skyline.

"Good morning, Skyline."

[necromancyandtendrils]

Not too far ahead, a cookie's back was turned against Mystic Flour cookie. the familiar scent and body posture of the cookie was unadoptable Candy Eye Cookie herself. She seemed to have been deeply distracted as she was staring down at the ruined Licorice village.

What a pity that places like these had bit the dust. She was unsure what had happened here. But it was nothing good. The brisk wind pushed against her as she stood there pondering... Contemplating her next move, and where to go. She needed to track down more of the members of the St. Pastery order, find out more of their plans, and make sure her dark secret wasn't being dug up.

She lowered her head, a part of her thinking how futile it all felt. But she knew deep down that she couldn't give up. Even if she wanted to. Only bad things will happened if she just left things be. that was when she looked down at her sheeve and noticed something white... she gently tried wiping it off, but it wasn't snow...

It was...

"Flour??"

That's when she slowly turned around. picking up on a fimilear energy. something she hadn't felt in a long time.

Was... Was that an illusion? Was she seeing things? It was a deer in headlights as she stared in complete silence. As if waiting for this snowy mirage to vanish... But it didn't...

"Wheat... Flour cookie? Is that you?"

@necromancyandtendrils

Mystic Flour stood at the edge of the cliff, staring at the vast murky ocean that was right in front of her, her eyes blacken as she could be seen scrolling… Across the other side of the ocean was the Kingdom that belonged to ‘that’ cookie… She will reach that kingdom and start spinning her web of Apathy to get her revenge against the one who held her power.

He WILL pay for not accepting his ‘enlightenment’ when given the chance.

However those plans will be put on hold for now as the recent conversation with Eternal Sugar within the prison revealed an interesting detail to the prophet… One that she did not expect considering the circumstances that transpired in the past.

Candy Eye Cookie was alive.

She had heard what happened to her in the past and how she was killed.. Or at least believed to be killed... So for the other to be alive…

The prophet closed her eyes, feeling her body turning into flour, before the flour drifted into the wind with purpose until that flour once more took the form of the prophet as she landed softly against the ground.

Her dull eyes drifted across the area around her before walking forward, knowing the path would lead her to the cookie that she desires to seek out, even if the other would not expect her arrival.

[necromancyandtendrils]

"..."

Candy's eyesings seem to slowly drift away. Hesitant at first to explain, but if she was going to bring her kid to the Vanilla Kingdom to stay... Then it might be wise to share some info about herself.

"Fine, but, best to not share with the other ancients right away, Especially the one from the Dark Cacao Kingdom, I've heard stories..."

She looks back over at PV and places a single hand over her chestpiece.

"I'm actually quite close with most of them, except the one of fire. they were radiant head and burning passion always tended to scorch me, they were literally too hot to handle. What doesn't help is my phobia of fire... But We always tried to find a way to bridge that gap, and overcome my overwhelming fear of fire, but sadly always to no avail"

"There's the one who is called Mystic Flour Cookie. I once called her 'Wheat Flour'. We used to talk about a lot of deep subjects, let it be about life itself, or simply just advice, or sharing views about types of magic, the list goes on, but usually, it's about finding true peace and stuff about other cookies wishes..."

"Then there's my best friend who I call 'Sugar'. She was the first one to meet, and we got very close. We always shared the occasional gossip, enjoyed some treats, and took care of each other's hair. She always seemed to have enjoyed the fact that I'd sing along with her harp too..."

She paused before she took another breath, It was starting to get harder to continue now, for the next one stung her the most. "The Silent, but once 'honourable' Knight... This one and I were a unit before they started to change, and the final nail in the coffin was when they did nothing as I watched everything I had get burned into black flour and rubble."

"And... Lastly. Blueberry Yogurt cookie. He had his own academy, he loved theatrics and magic of all kinds. I always tried to attend to as many of his plays and stuff as much as I could. He was creative and inspiring. He's probably why I was so inspired to learn theatrics and turn my songs into full-blown musicals."

She closed her eyes, thinking back to all of those memories

"Now that you know some things. I want to defend and say that despite everything and the pain I received, I'm willing to forgive them all if we can still save them..."

She eyed him cautiously before finally deciding to leave it be for now.

"Very well." She said, her composure started to lax a bit.

"If you plan on returning to the Vanilla Kingdom after your visit. I wish to come with you so I know where it is." She then looked back down at her Dough Baby and then back up at the tree.

"I hope I'll be updated on any new information that crops up about the current events." She then sighed, she felt like maybe she should throw this cookie a bone, and let him open up to any questions he might be iching to ask since she did come out of nowhere...

"I suppose It's only fair that I let you ask me some questions now. Hm? I suppose you got a few yourself."

[necromancyandtendrils]

"… Auughhh Fine. So Someone asked me something related to me being a Milf, then Burning Spice tried to compliment me, and then I tried to make him understand my discomfort by calling him… ' Spicy pepaw Dilf', and now everyone is going bananas! I currently desire non-existence right now."

As she explained, her face had turned five shades of pink. Was she angry or flustered? No one will ever know...

@necromancyandtendrils

Candy: Noooo not you too. please don't ask

"I rather know so I don't walk into any traps by accident, Candy Eye Cookie."
