It is I, your ever lovable jester and clown, Shadow Milk Cookie! I've come to you all for a veeeeery important announcement!

We have a new resident! Some of you may have met him already! His name is Pavlova Cookie and he is an adorable, sweet little cherub who loves romance and gossip. He also happens to be my SON, so I expect that you will all treat him with kindness and respect and make him feel at home in our little prison.

Because if I find out that anyone has mistreated him, you will for the mercy of the Forest!

Oh, is this the circus I was told about?
Should I tell you about what I did to the last mime I met? Or do you want to guess?

[jesterlies]

But of course! If there are any circuses out there without me involved they're surely BORING and not worth the time~!

You should, I'm on the edge of my seat. Spin me a tale, and I will tell you if I have done worse!

[notsonewbie]

... cookies can have kids?

[jesterlies]

We wouldn't get very far as a species otherwise would we? After all almost all cookies are destined to a sad fate of becoming stale and crumbly. Oh the tragedy!

[notsonewbie]

So, what. Do you guys just. squirt. frosting? on each other? And it grows?

No, that stupid.

[jesterlies]

Good HEAVENS, there are children about!

[notsonewbie]

UGH just answer the question!!

[lilyberation]

Before the Witches, our creators, confiscated the means to do so, we were able to bake our own offspring with similar methods as to how they made us.

Now we are able to break off a piece of our dough, allowing for one or more parents, and infuse it with life powder to make a child. It takes a lot to recover from, but it is well worth it. :)

gagtag. even though i would make it a real tag if i didn't think ain would get beaned.

[eidxiety]

I think they call that a buk—

[jesterlies]

[Its not a real tag because Shadow Milk is Quickly covering that sentence in eye-searing glitter.]

[lovelyredthread]

[ ????? He is blissfully unaware. For now. ]

[eidxiety]

Congratulations on laying an egg Mr. Clown ^^ I met your son and he's my friend, I hope you don't mind~

[notsonewbie]

COOKIES CAN LAY EGGS?

[eidxiety]

I assume they're born via dough-ball laid by ovipositor yeah ^^

[notsonewbie]

THEY WHAT????

[eidxiety]

Well, think about it. When cookies are baked they start as little dough balls, right? And then you lovingly shape them. (Is this offensive to cookies?? Sorry :( )

But cookies are sentient. Where do you think the dough balls come from?

[notsonewbie]

HOW ABOUT FLOUR AND EGGS AND OTHER BITS? It's called BAKING!

[eidxiety]

Yeah the eggs is what they're laying ^^ Keep up Ms. Photographer~

[notsonewbie]

Not like that!!!

Do I seriously need to show you how to make cookies?

ALSO! My name is Meryl!! Not Ms. Photographer!

[eidxiety]

Oh, one of my partners runs the bakery :O But I'm also a notoriously bad cook (we're working on it)... so I guess? What kinds of cookies do they even have where you and Nikolaus are from? Are they made of worm :O

[lovelyredthread]

Cookies are baked, Mr. Bleeding Heart.

[eidxiety]

Only after they hatch though ^^ Where do you think the raw dough comes from, Mr. Sweetheart?

[lovelyredthread]

They?? Make it? I mean I don't know the whole process but I know that we don't come out of eggs.

[eidxiety]

??? are eggs not used in the process of cookies :O

[I'm so sorry, now he's trying to back his bullshit with legitimate cooking.]

Squinting at you so hard

[lovelyredthread]

What goes in the dough depends on what cookies are involved I think? Everyone's dough is a little different.

:)

[eidxiety]

Do not all cookies contain eggs :O

[lovelyredthread]

I don't really go around asking what's in others' dough. Not everyone knows, either... but I'd guess there are some that don't.

[eidxiety]

If I was dough, I would be made of sprinkles and cream cheese and I would DEFINITELY have hatched. ^^

[lovelyredthread]

[Somehow this is what clues him in he's fucking around. Huff.]

Well you'd have to ask my dad. I definitely wouldn't remember.

[eidxiety]

Okay wait I have a legitimate question :O

Where I'm from there's a superstition that your blood type determines your personality. I think you guys call blood "jam" or "jelly" or something like that?? Anyway, is there a belief that what your dough or jam or jelly is made of determines your personality somehow?

[lovelyredthread]

Oh, that kind of thing was more flavor oriented than jam. Like more bitter-flavored cookies were more prone to being aloof than others. Things like that.

[eidxiety]

Ooh :O

One more question, do you guys also have star signs? Like Gemini and stuff? People think that also determines your personality.

[lovelyredthread]

Um. Maybe? I know other cookies could see the stars, but it was always daytime in the Garden of Delights. I don't know anything about that.

[lilyberation]

Incorrect, I think you'd be a lily cookie like me!

( there's even a doodle of a lily of the valley. )

[jesterlies]

Thank you very much, Sir Green Bean! I made him all on my own, I am very proud!

Oh?? Something tells me the two of you would get on like a house on fire, mhehehe! I will allow it~

[eidxiety]

He's a very nice kid, haha. He reminds me of a friend from home who is also pink and cheerful~.

Don't worry, I'm going to make him nice clothes and stuff like I did for you. ^^ We made pottery together too.

[jesterlies]

Deliiiiightful~ You provide such an invaluable service, Sir Green Bean, and I am not often an empty flatterer~

He does have his father's love of the arts! I am not surprised. I hope you will continue to look out for him here in this place. You know how it can be quite frightening sometimes!

[eidxiety]

Aww, Mr. Clown, I'll try my hardest... you know how this place is. ^^; But there are a lot of other responsible adults here, too, with a lot of healing magic and a lot of want to guard over kids, so I think he'll be okay. Haha, they say it takes a village...

[lovelyredthread]

I don't think I'm worth making a whole announcement over but hi dad!
Love the pictures.

[jesterlies]

Hello, Little Cherub.

You certainly are! It's important to give proper warning. That way nooooo one can be upset if I have to crumble someone should anything happen to you~!

[lovelyredthread]

I'm strong enough that I don't think that'll be a problem! I haven't gotten to show you how good I've gotten at archery yet have I?

[jesterlies]

Yes, well, you can't blame a father for worrying!

No, you haven't! Ah, it's been thousands of years it seems like, when I saw you first lift that bow. We should find something fun to aim at later.

[lovelyredthread]

I shattered a shield with it once!

[ Hollyberry's. But he's not going to cop to that when Lily could be reading. ]

Yeah! We could probably make targets if we need to.

[foreversembrace]

If you're really that worried about him maybe don't let him just go wandering into the Forest unsupervised.

Just saying.
