i. 「in person」

[Clotted Cream Cookie, the last he remembers, had been out on the trail, searching for fragments of Soul Jam with Financier Cookie and the Pearl Legion. His surroundings then had at least been familiar, with cake roll trees, brown sugar paths, and sugar marble bridges. But after a moment of fuzziness and voices he doesn't know, he finds himself opening his eyes to cramped and dark surroundings, metal and the smell of burnt dough, and a woman opening an oven door with a gasp of surprise.

Not at all traumatizing! Not one single bit!

To his credit, he's taken it well. He's also taken not being a Cookie anymore fairly well. As Consul, he is more than experienced in the practice of conceal-don't-feel, so he meets the woman's kindness with his own. He's given a book, an explanation, and sent on his way.

Except now, now that he's not under direct observation, he's just sort of… processing, as he sits on the steps of the inn. Maybe in a little bit of mild horror, distantly and sort of blue-screen-y. His dough is now soft and riddled with scales in places, his frosting seems to be in individual strings, his boots and gloves fit oddly on his hands and feet. The aforementioned articles of clothing have now been removed to show webbed and clawed fingers and… foot-fingers? And fins? On his ears???

The netbook sits beside him on the steps, ignored. On top of it is a single, freshly-baked scone. Also ignored. Talk to this poor, confused-looking merman?]



ii.「on the netbooks」

[This handwriting is new, and very, very neat and tidy. You can practically feel the legalese wafting off of it.]

Greetings. My name is Clotted Cream Cookie, elected Consul of the Crème Republic. I have recently found myself here, and felt that an introduction was in order. It is a pleasure to meet you all, despite the circumstances.

I am admittedly curious as to how this book works. Is it magic, or perhaps magichanical in some way? Or does its function remain a mystery?

It is simply magic, from what I understand. Of a sort I would assume you would be potentially familiar with, being...uh. A cookie? Am I reading that right?

It's good to meet you, Sir Consul. My name is Sesa, weaponsmith, video-game aficionado, a mere mortal yet somehow possessed with limitless powers beyond our understanding-!!

Also I look like this.

I've never met a cookie before! Or, well, not one that could talk back, at any rate! What flavor is Clotted Cream, anyway?

[It sounds tasty, whatever it is.]

So what do you look like now? Can you describe it?

That sounds delicious. What a wonderful thing to be named after.

Oh, you sound like you might be Aegir! Though that could be untrue if you aren't from Terra...and from the sound of things, I have to assume you must not be.

Well...if you aren't from Terra, it may not be that. I cannot say for sure without seeing you for myself. Though you do sound like a sea creature of some sort given your description. Though I suppose there's a chance you could also be Vouivre like me, I just do not know of any that have fins quite like yours.

You probably spoke to Gnosis, if I had to guess! He knows a lot of things.

In that case, if you ever find yourself at a loss, he's a good person to ask. He's been here longer than most of us, so the knowledge he has to share would be invaluable if you want to know more about this place.

I trust that you're staying at the Inn, currently? I stay at the Laboratory that Gnosis manages, so if you ever need anything from me, that is where I would be. There, or the bathhouse.

Thinking on it...I've been here for about three months now, I would say. I wish I had better news, but once you've arrived, leaving is a bit...difficult.

I do, yes! I am a weaponsmith, so I typically work on repairing and enhancing weaponry. If you have something like that that you would like fixed, I am your Vouivre.

Ah, well...that depends. I suppose when you say "magic", you don't mean "Arts", do you? The way magic functions on Terra- where I come from- seems to be a bit different compared to most other worlds, I'm discovering.

I'm not sure it would matter either way. The weapons I am used to working with are a bit different and don't require magic to function. But that doesn't mean I couldn't learn, of course.
