Petal Cookie Meme

Today in Ultern the delicious smell of Petal Cookies may waft throughout! It looks like there's someone out there already practicing for the upcoming Harvesting Bonds Festival by baking a lot of cookies. Like, a lot! So much so they've set up advertising free cookies for all in a variety of colors, flavors and shapes too!

Why not go ahead and take a few? It looks like there's plenty of Ulternians and Drifters alike already enjoying some without any signs of adverse effects anyway-

Haha just kidding! Once again apologies to any Domeists in the area.


THE COOKIES
1. SPICY
Telling lies?
Whatever you meant to say, it's not coming out! In fact only lies keep piling up! Gosh dang it, why can't you spit out the truth!?

2. DRY
Uncontrollable Impulsive Action
You're just compelled to act out any thought you've got going on in that head of yours! Uh-oh!

3. BITTER
Fortunes have turned
Do you generally have good luck? Well T-O-O BAD! You're in for the worst luck today, and it's the reverse if your luck is generally bad. Have some great fortune!

4. SWEET
Turn into a Pokemon
Won't it be neat to become a Pokemon? Well now you are. Are you already a Pokemon? Well enjoy being human!

5. SOUR
Personality Change
Either your personality went up a notch by like... a 100, or it's completely swapped! Either way it might be a bit unpleasant to be around you for the folks and Pokemon nearby...

6. SALTY
Wild Card Option
Any other ideas and prompts go here!!! Go nuts!



🌺(OOC: When replying to a thread feel free to RNG or choose one of the prompts below!

Of course, the person being replied to should also partake in any of the cookies for added fun!
Feel free to enjoy more than one type of cookies! All the effects of the cookies can be combined, you know. For fun!

Enjoy!)

[1+2; opposite day for Buson with no self-restraint... + CW passing alcohol references]

"Ooh, they're so colourful! Never seen 'em in colours like that before."

Buson, already very fond of chinsuko, snapped up two at once, all different flavours. Dry and spicy easily caught his eye, the orange and blue. He even considered grabbing the yellow sour one, but he had to try these first.

"Nifee deebiru!"

He decided to take a seat right there, not too far from the stand, hoping to go back for more.

"Kuwacchi sabira!"

Sure, he'd use itadakimasu at home, but he'll switch languages to match the locals. He takes a bite. It sure is spicy!

"Whoa... that wasn't spicy one bit!" he said, despite blinking back tears.

Wait, he hadn't meant to say that... was it so spicy, he got confused? He looked at the biscuit again, suspiciously, before taking a bite of his dry biscuit, hoping to counteract the spiciness. It had an astringent taste that made his mouth feel dry.

"It's almost like... wine...?"

These chinsuko were very, very weird. But hey, he's not a kid or a lightweight, he can't get drunk off sweets, this is ridiculous. He ought to complain! Wait, no, he shouldn't? That person's offering them for free and doesn't deserve—no, but, he really felt like he ought to give them a piece of his mind, so, as if compelled, he got up and marched over to the baker.

"Your chinsuko's some of the sweetest, least spiciest chinsuko I ever tasted in my whole life!" he grumbled, in an ill-fittingly annoyed tone, looking more and more confused at how everything he said was the exact opposite of what he wanted to say. "All of this makes perfect sense, I mean every word I say, and I am in PERFECT control of myself and my whole life!"

“Hey! Quit heckling the staff, you weirdo!” Mina, standing nearby and just finishing off her own yellow cookie, snapped at Buson.

Just who did this guy think he was, causing a (admittedly really strange) scene over free food?!
buson: low angle view of Buson shouting commands and pointing (you want to go on a suicide mission?)

"I ain't 'heckling the staff,' you delightful little lady!"

Aw, man, he can't even insult people back.

"I hope you have a GREAT DAY, that's as SWEET as you are! I think you're a nosy, opinionated, little respectable member of the community!"

Mina finds herself strangely offended by Buson’s words despite them… being actually mostly compliments?? He just said them so aggressively it was hard to not get annoyed and upset!

“What? Are you even listening to yourself? You sound like a crazy person right now! Or are you just making fun of me??” She rolls up her sleeves like she’s ready to throw down. Mina no you have a type disadvantage!!
buson: unpleasant, wide smile, nefarious. (crooked man)

[Mina, no.......]

[personal profile] buson 2023-10-15 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm the PICTURE OF MENTAL HEALTH!"

Wait. Should he be happy that sentence came out the way he wanted it to, or worried that it only came out because it wasn't true?

He could sit there and worry about this some other time, the... little lady's squaring up to fight him, apparently?

Oh, this is rich. Buson lets out a bellowing laugh.

Mina flares up, cheeks turning red in indignation. She takes a step closer.

“As if! And what’s so funny, huh?! You think this is a joke?? You’re making a real scene, you know!”

Sweetheart you’re the one getting ready to fistfight someone twice your size. I think it’s safe to say you’re both making a scene at this point.
buson: in the cockpit, smug, mocking (HA-ha!)

[personal profile] buson 2023-10-15 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, sorry, but that angry face... he's laughing even more!

"You're so ugly when you're mad!" he says, snickering.

He wanted to say cute, actually, but close enough—better stay on guard, she might throw the first punch! Or kick. Or whatever.

[Mina used Feint!]

“RUDE!”

Here she comes. Mina charges forward and grabs at Buson’s shirt to pull him down to her level. She winds up her other arm and…

Well. The thing about fairies is that they’re notorious tricksters, y’know? She can see he has his guard up and so at the last second, she pulls her punch, letting go of him, rearing back, and kneeing him in the crotch instead.
buson: sweating nervously, gritting teeth (narrowly avoiding an explosion etc.)

[....... thanks.........]

Aw, he's been in enough fights to see a switch like that coming! But, knowing it's coming and seeing it coming... is very different from being able to react to it in time. She's smaller and lighter than any of his usual opponents, so even though he tried to bring his knees in to protect himself, he just didn't react fast enough! He might only manage to trap her leg betwen his and take her down with him, but either way? Buson is going down, face screwed up in pain.

“Heheh! Serves you ri—hyaa!” And there goes Mina as well, dragged down alongside him as he catches her leg on the way down.

“Let go of me, you brute!” She smacks at him with balled fists and thrashes her body around largely ineffectively, trying to pry her leg free from under him.

She’d surely feel bad about all of this later.
buson: angry, shouting, glaring (where are you?!)

[personal profile] buson 2023-10-23 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, he's in a world of hurt right now, he can't exactly relax his muscles right now?! You're stuck there with him while he hugs his stomach and waits this one out, Mina. Sorry.

When the pain finally does subside to a manageable degree, he is going to sit up and glare, very unamused, before moving his legs apart just enough to free her.

"I dare you to do that again."

Not quite what he wanted to say, but the tone should make it clear.
