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!)
🌺

[shouldn't be too hard, baby Trip's gotten a personality change!]

"Hi!" Trip eagerly hugs Gold's neck.

"Do you like those biscuits? I ate a yellow one, it was kind of sour, but it was nice, even though I don't usually like sour food, I even told the baker, even though he's a stranger... he's a nice man, though, and I wasn't scared at ALL."

Little Trip's... strangely chatty today, not even about Alder. He's a little breathless from talking so much and so fast, but he's beaming! When he lets go, he puts his hands on his hips, standing confidently, rather than shrinking shyly away or clinging.

Huh, a hug? That's nice. Trip must be in a really giggly, huggy mood today.

"Heeeh," Gold says in a sort of 'reacting to what's being said to him' tone. So Trip ate a yellow one... Gold wonders what that does. And now that he's looking for differences, he's realizing Trip's mood might be what the cookie did. So the yellow cookies make people more talkative and friendly!

"That's-" Gold cuts what he was about to reply to Trip short, realizing it would've been a lie. Dang, somehow talking to little Trip is way harder than talking to anyone else like this.

"Your hoodie," Gold says, struck with a sudden idea, "is blue. And I don't like these cookies." He smiles as he says it, and eats a bit more of his cookie. Maybe that's enough to give Trip an idea of Gold's status effect?

"Huh? No, it's red and yellow, like Alder sir—"

A moment later, Trip's eyes widened and sparkled with excitement, as he recognized the game. "Ooh, I know this game, I know this game! It's opposite day, isn't it? I mean, well, it isn't opposite day!"

[very cute!]

[personal profile] gold_drum 2023-10-17 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Gold's grin brightens as Trip gets it. Well, opposite day is as good of an explanation as any, not that Gold's ever played that game before!

"Ding-ding! Wrooong!" Gold says, showing the 'OK' hand sign. "I didn't eat a cookie and now I can only tell the truth!"
serperiority: (shortstack wary)

[they both are, always~]

[personal profile] serperiority 2023-10-17 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
It takes Trip a moment to parse it, then, he nods eagerly.

"So, you can only say lies... they really are magic! Do you think the, um, cookie seller... giver-away... the cookie person will tell us how they're made? And do you think you're stuck like that forever?"

His excitement dies down into a bit of worry. Maybe he should ask the baker to reverse Gold's, when it isn't fun anymore!
gold_drum: smiling widely while walking out the door (open-mouth smile)

[personal profile] gold_drum 2023-10-25 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yup, I'm probably stuck like this forever!" Gold grins and pats Trip's head to try and comfort him. "I bet it won't go away after a day. That's usually what doesn't happen."

"The cookie giver? Yeah, they probably did this. It's not Ultern magic or whatever." Gold shrugs. He'll wait for Trip to parse what he's saying.

Gold feels certain that this must be caused by Ultern and the cookie giver had nothing to do with it. Is it because he likes people who give him free food on principle, or because of some kind of Ultern magic clouding his judgement? Who knows.

[little Trip says Some Concerning Things]

It's a little harder for Trip to understand some of these sentences, but he appreciates the head pat, and he does understand the first part, at least!

"So, it's usually just for one day... that's good."

But the second part is harder to understand.

"It's not? ... it is? ... umm."

Trip has to really think about this one to get it, because he was this close to just blaming the baker!

"Well, okay, if you say so. But if it's still not gone tomorrow, we go find the baker and make him fix it," Trip said, with entirely too innocent a tone for such a vaguely threatening little statement.
gold_drum: talking with blank expression (talking)

[personal profile] gold_drum 2023-10-26 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Gold blinks at that statement... and then fights to keep a grin off his face. That's adorable! Saying threatening things with a cute voice! Oh, he shouldn't be encouraging this... But he kind of wants to see little Trip threaten a baker...! He's trying to be a good role model, but...!

"How?" he ends up asking, in the end. How would Trip make the baker fix it? Gold will decide on what to do based on the answer.

[personal profile] serperiority 2023-10-26 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Um... umm..."

He looked very, very focused on this, then, continuing in utmost seriousness, Trip said:

"We threaten to sell our socks."

[personal profile] gold_drum 2023-10-27 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, it's even harder not to laugh now. Gold doesn't get what that means at all, but Trip is so serious about whatever random thing he just said!

He nods (shakily, from holding in laughter), glad that Trip's not thinking of any actual threats on the baker. Gold didn't really think he would, but with the cookies affecting him, that could've changed.

...Now that he thinks about it, having to lie kind of sucks. He wants to tell Trip it's a good idea, but wouldn't that be a lie? He can't say white lies without Trip probably assuming it's opposite speech. What should he say?

"Doesn't sound fun!" he finally decides to say with a smile and a thumbs-up.
