Out of curiosity, for those of you that obtained an item for free from Ydalir, what did you receive?

I received a rather fine-looking hat, myself, but whenever I wear it, it... forces my speech into uncontrollable and highly irregular patterns for my usual manner of speech. Which is a shame, considering I do like it.

["Our bodies have been changed"

...

Hm.]

...I've heard of this before, and I can see with my own eyes that you're clearly not cookies anymore. I'm not sure why I never thought to look into this sooner... Tell me how you accomplished this. It's vital information, I need to recreate this transformation.

[clottedcream]

... unfortunately, I am still not sure. I was told that some of us were in another world prior to this one, but I don't recall anything of the sort. And it also doesn't account for the other Cookies that do not have, er. Monstrous transformations.

Why do you need to recreate it?

[quirkynote]

I need to give my husband a body.

[If words could be written with love, they certainly are. Too bad it's one of the...strangest collection of words strung together.]

I've been searching for a long time... To think, I may finally have my answer, and it's thanks only to cookies...

[clottedcream]

[ That's. That sure is a sentence. Clotted Cream isn't sure how to respond for a moment. ]

Your husband doesn't have a body?

[ Is it like how his soul was apparently stored within a stone after Pure Vanilla and Dark Cacao found him at the lake? Or something else...? ]

[quirkynote]

He has a body, he has a beautiful body, but it comes with limitations. Love is a heavy burden to bear, and while I don't mind carrying him everywhere, he is rather.............heavy.

He would do much better with a proper body. I'd miss his adorable face, but it would be...nice to be the one who is carried for a change.

I will have to look into this more, perhaps the other cookies know something you simply don't. To think you would unlock not only a path to the ocean, but the path to what I've spent my whole life seeking... How special you are.

[clottedcream]

[ This... this doesn't feel right. Something about this feels very strange, but it isn't as though it's outright malicious or anything. For now, it's an innocent oddity. If she plans on asking the other Cookies, surely they'll be a barrier for anything unethical.

Surely. ]

Well, I am glad that I, like your key, could bring you some measure of happiness. Truly, it is only a matter of the right place and the right time.

[quirkynote]

[What could possibly be unethical about love?]

Truly.

I do wonder... Would the others like to see the ocean along with us? I don't mind their company.

[clottedcream]

[ YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED ]

Oh, it's very possible. I would be happy to ask them. It has been a few months since the last time we went.

Who have you met, by the way?

[quirkynote]

White Lily, Sparkling, Pure Vanilla, I adore them all.

[Also Affogato, but-]

[clottedcream]

Ah, I see!

[ This is text, so he's letting his guard down a little in person. His ear fins are wiggling. Unfortunately, being text, this doesn't translate, but it is happening. ]

I'm sure they will all be more than happy to come along. When would you like to go?

[quirkynote]

[Oh well, she'll just have to see his cute little habits when they meet in person.]

As soon as possible. I have no purpose here, and my heart longs for those pure, beautiful depths.

[clottedcream]

Alright. I will speak to them and let you know when we will depart. As stated, the journey does take a couple of days, so please be prepared to pack accordingly.
