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!)

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!

"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 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.

"Um... umm..."

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

"We threaten to sell our socks."

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.
