are you really you?

[The script that appears in the netbooks is new, elegant. A little... scrombly, as if the person writing isn't used to fingers (he is not) but it's legible.]

Greetings, my name is Pure Vanilla Cookie, please forgive me intrusion, but I was told this was the way to reach out to everyone. I have been given some information about this place, though I must admit I am have a difficult time understanding some things, and there is one question I have which I hope others may shed some light on? Has anyone else woken up here in a body not their own, yet with enough similarities to your former body that you can see the resemblance?

[Haha, what.]

So what if I lack that ability??

alright, nick. let's put our notebooks down and go for a walk. how about that? :)
you're picking a fight about cookies. is that really what you want to be known for?

I'm not picking a fucking fight.

I am standing up for myself because apparently being suspicious is wrong now!

there's nothing wrong with being wary...

...... but you are taking it a little far.

What do you want me to do? Just say "oh sorry you're right I'm wrong" and then leave?

you could just stop responding?

That's basically as good as admitting defeat. That's like saying I'm wrong and opening him up to rub it in my face for the rest of my life.

[In case anyone forgot that Wolfwood is halfway still stuck in acting like a teenager sometimes.]

it's.... a disagreement? on a piece of paper?
i don't think it's as big of a deal as you're making it out to be!

Vash you barely ever argue with anybody.
You handle these things differently than I do, I get that. I just don't appreciate being treated like I'm the insane one for thinking talking cookies might be my limit of things I'm willing to believe off-hand.

you're not insane for being wary of taking someone at their word.
but gnosis has a point. this is hardly the strangest thing we've seen.
... okay maybe it is, but the point is that this place is made of strange. next week something weirder will probably happen!

I guess.

[Honestly at this point he's not even mad about the cookie thing as much as he is the perceived aura of him being unreasonable lbr-]

baby.
nicky.
darling.
you're dating a capital-p plant.
you can't be too weirded out by capital-c cookies.

yeah but youre different!

[Is he, is he though]

am i?
am i really?

Be serious.
Which is weirder: A Plant or a talking Cookie.

WELL. if you ask me!!

... still the cookie.

See? Even you know I'm right.

[Is that what this is about, being right-]

Don’t let them silence you. You’re perhaps the only one here who’s actually making sense.

Don’t let them win.

Thank you.

[A small, yet ridiculously elegant heart is drawn beside this in acknowledgment. Because god forbid even his doodles aren’t pretty.]

There's a lesson to be learnt here about not engaging with perceived "internet trolls" as Mizuki would call them.

[HOW OLD ARE YOU]

Besides that, you're religious, aren't you? What is this about refusing to believe in things that aren't certifiably true, while putting your faith into some unknown God?

[silverash come get your husband he's doing things again]

okay, okay, let's not have this argument, thank you!!
we have enough on our plates with the forest, we don't need to be at each other's throats, thank you!

[Haha oops! Wolfwood does not respond for a Long Time, half because he's fuming and half because Vash is over there playing damage control.]

Tell me why he's not a cookie right now then. Why is everyone else half-animal people or whatever and he's not a god damn cookie.

[Sorry Vash, he hears you and acknowledges you but also—]

Please try to avoid racist drivel like that. None of us from Terra are "half-animal people". A general, preferred catch-all for any Terran would simply be "Terran" or even "Ancients" if you must refer to us with umbrella terms.

I have nothing for the latter explanation. However, we know already that this place changes people — I needn't remind you that several people have lost body parts after dying here, nor that Elsword is growing flowers, do I? Kreide has already stated that he was dead before arrival. The change that Pure Vanilla Cookie went through, while unheard of, is not unlikely to occur, given the evidence we have so far, sparse as it is.

Fine, whatever. Terran then, you know what I meant.

Anyway. That's what I'm pointing out. I'm just saying it's fucking weird that he's the only exception.
