Flavourless: Chapter 12, The Loyal Guards Daughter.

Plain Wafer Cookie POV

I kept staring at Madeleine Cookie, trying to process what he’d just asked me as he stared back with a curious expression, obviously waiting for my answer. Wait.. but that means, I couldn't help launching myself forward to him, grasping at his chest Armor looking  up desperately “y-you know him!? You’ve met Papa!?, where is he now!?”

Rapidly asking him questions as I felt my breathing pick up, questions ran through my mind but one stood out, that means, Papa escaped, he didn't crumble!.

He looked surprisingly startled, placing hands on my shoulders firmly to push me back just slightly. “w-woah! Settle down..wait.. P-P-PAPA ?!” his jaw seemingly dropping while Black Raisin had managed to help pry my grip from him, pulling me back slightly. “How about we get back to the castle first? Then an explanation can be asked.” nodding her head. I’d never walked so fast before in my life.

------------------------------------------------------ When we arrived back at the castle, we headed straight to the guest room that I'd been given to use. The door closed behind me as I quickly set the suitcase near the side of the bed. I looked to Madeleine Cookie expectantly for an answer while in the corner of my eyes I could see Black Raisin pop out towards the Balcony.

Madeleine scratched his chin with a slight hum, seeming to collect his thoughts and began to give me the answer I'd been waiting on.  “I..don’t know him personally rather that he’s in a lot of photos at the Academy in the Crème Republic, his hairstyle and the emblem he wore, it was known he was a survivor of the Vanilla Kingdom but he was obviously a lot young in those pictures you had and I was kind of surprised to see him smiling, rumours had it, that he never smiled and was rarely happy, quite a strict but good teacher.”

“But that can't be.., Papa was always so happy, it must be a mistake..” raising my hands to clench them at my chest worriedly, that doesn't sound like him at all but another question came to my mind quickly. “W-what about his wife..?” I asked a bit more timidly but he just blinked and shook head “ i-im sorry, I don't know.” I went to sit on the edge of the bed with a bit of a defeated look, the information was a bit hopeful but also not at the same time, Papa never smiled? And nothing on Mama. Feeling a slight dip next to me as a hand ruffled my hair, I glanced up to see Madeleine having sat next to me. “I didn't mean to upset you in any way with that information but I still have questions. He’s your Papa? But he’s very old to have a daughter so young?, plus the fact that..” seemingly stopping himself with a shake of head before continuing “My mind is trying to think of an explanation, could you maybe enlighten me, little Miss?”

Giving a sigh but a nod, after all his help today he does deserve an explanation, so I started from the previous day, explaining how I'd merely gone out on a trip to a nearby village, ventured into this mysterious shop and suddenly was decades in the future. He seemed a bit in disbelief by what I was telling him but that to be expected I guess when telling someone you're essentially from decades in the past.

After I was done explaining something seemed to click in my mind, something he’d said before. "Wait , you said he’s very old, that's mean..!” he blinked again as I looked at him wide hopeful eyes then nodded “He is still very much alive, if that’s what you mean, ah maybe i should have started with that..” scratching his hair embarrassedly

I gasped, feeling the tears coming to the edge of my eyes but ones of joy and relief as I jumped up, jumping around like a little kid “Papa’s alive! He's alive!, he’s not crumbled!.” Feeling the tears go down my face with my laugher as I jumped up and down with happiness, when I stopped to breath a bit heavily, I realized just how embarrassing that was, lowering my head as my face got bright red “ S-sorry.”

Madeline gave a hearty chuckle as he got up “Don’t apologies, I'm glad the information was able to put a smile back on your face, though I have a feeling you might need to talk to Clotted Cream Cookie..”  I raised an eyebrow at him “ Why?” tilting my head, technically I had spoken to him before, so what would change? He gave me a pat on the shoulder “You’ll see, but for now, I really must get going, a lot to do for a divine knight, but it was a pleasure to meet you, Little Miss Plain Wafer.”

Nodding and giving him a beaming smile as i wiped away excess tears with my robe sleeves.  “Thank you again, Mr Madeline Sir, thank you again for helping me get my things.” He gave a small bow as he left the room. I took a deep breath in and out to calm myself then peered at the Balcony to see Black Raisin coming back in. “I thought it best to let you chat, though I did overhear, I'm glad for you”.

I nodded eagerly as a crow flew though the window landing on Black Raisin shoulder, squawking a little as she nodded “Seems the meeting has concluded, want to go meet up with you know who?” giving a bit of a smirk as I grinned “Lets go!” ----------------------------------- The new found hope gave me a skip in my step as we walked down the hall to the Council hall. I spotted the doors as Pure Vanilla Cookie stepped out sighing a little.

Really not being able to help myself as in my joy I ran forward “Your Majesty!” , he looked up suddenly startled as I'd leapt in for a hug him. “O-oh! Why hello dear, I didn't expect for you to come find me, you seem quite happy, did everything go alright with getting your things?” gently patting my head, as the troubled expression he had before dissolved into gentle warm smile. I did notice quietly that upon seeing him, Black Raisin had nodded and gone off, guess her time watching over me was over.

“Yeah! But we met this Cookie called Madeline who helped us and I found out, he’s seen Papa before, Papa’s still alive!” laughing a bit in happiness as I kept hugging. He looked stunned. “H-he’s alive, truly?” seemingly taking a big sigh of relief as he hugged me back tightly “Heavy Cream Cookie is alive, I'm so relieved.”

“Do forgive me for interrupting but did you say Heavy Cream Cookie?” we both turned our glances to the Hall doors, it was Clotted Cream with Financier not far behind him. We both seemed to nod simultaneously but his Majesty replied first “ Ah, yes, he was one of my guards back in the day and..”, I  spoke up to finish his sentence with joy “My Papa!”

His reaction was not one I or anyone else seemed to expect, he always seemed like someone that wouldn't falter easily but he’d suddenly gone white as flour in the face, eyes wide and trembling, was it something i said?

He raced forward so quickly, hands on my shoulder, almost shaking me as he trembled “Heavy Cream is your father?! Is that the truth!?”

I was starting to get a bit scared by this reaction and the fact he was shaking me slightly “E-eh, y-yes! Why would I lie about that?..” , thankfully his Majesty managed to pull me back into an protective embrace, clearly shocked as well. “Clotted Cream Cookie??, whatever is wrong!?”

Financier Cookie had also stepped forward putting a firm grasp on Clotted Cream's shoulder and called out in a firm voice “Consul, your scaring her…yet again”

He seemed to snap out of it, standing back up straight as he readjusted tie then coughed in his hand and a bit of colour coming back to his face “R-right, I apologies, that was not my intentions but..” staring back at me “It seems Vanilla Sugar Star reply is no longer needed with this new information.”

“Well Madeline did say he was a teacher at an Academy in the Crème Republic, via all the photos he saw.., but um, I assume there must be something else?, he did say to talk to you, you're the Consul right, have you met him too?.” releasing myself from his Majesty's grasp for now as he looked just as curious as me.

Clotted Cream raised a hand to forehead , rubbing it a little. “ Of course..,I guess that's not surprising.” taking a deep breath as he yet again readjusted his posture with back straight and hands behind back “What I’m about to tell you may come as a bit of a shock, please do prepare yourself.”

I held my hands up to clench nervously, preparing myself as thoughts ran though my mind, was Papa okay? Has something happened?. Cursing myself a little in my mind, I really should have expected for him to know more as a Consul and mentioned Papa's name earlier when the letter was mentioned. “Heavy Cream Cookie is my adoptive grandfather, my mother, Light Cream Cookie’s, adoptive Father.” My eyes go wide, that…was not what I expected, my mind goes blank for a moment till I gasp and yell out in shock.

“W’ERE FAMILY!?” ---------------------------------------------- {Previous} {Next:Soon} -------------------------------------------- (Heavy Cream Cookie is Alive~ Guess we will see him again.)

(So yep, I decided to have Plain Wafer have some form of relation to Clotted Cream, though via adoption. I didn't realize his mother was called Light Cream Cookie when I designed Heavy Cream Cookie, so I kind of went with it.)

(Usually I'm not fond of doing this, having characters with some relation to Canon Characters but this felt too cute and i wanted to give some love to Clotted Cream Cookie, many don't seem to like him, though it is understandable..)

A piece i draw a long time ago but forgot about. Not accurate anymore as i changed her hair slightly. Someone level her up please, she's only a little common cookie.

Flavourless: Chapter 11, A home to return too

Plain Wafer POV. -Speaking Colour Codes: Orange (Plain Wafer), Blue (Pure Vanilla), Purple (Espresso,Strawberry,Madeline), Red (Black Raisin)- ------------------------------- I sighed a little while adjusting my cloak's wafer ribbon in the mirror, this was not how I expected the morning to go, a disaster of a haircut and burnt breakfast but the villager cookies had been nice enough to repair my robes, so now I had proper fitted clothing to wear again.

I glanced out the window letting my thoughts wander. I'd always looked up to his Majesty thinking he was the most perfect cookie, always seeming so elegant and wise but I'm starting to see my views were very much based on public appearance back then.

Shaking my head a bit just slightly, It’s not like my opinion on him has changed, I'll still always look up to him but now I’m truly starting to see how he is as a cookie and I could help but giggle a bit at myself, certainly needs some cooking lessons. Peering back up while looking around the guest room a little, he’d been nice enough to put me in here when I'd fainted and waited by my side till I awakened and everything else up till now. Looking down to my lap at the little patch that had been fitted onto the holes made from my trip here.

But, what's gonna happen to me now? I need to find answers on what happened to me, but where do I start? And my home, i can’t stay there now but,where will i go? Will his Majesty let me stay here with him? He’s already done so much for me, I don't wanna burden him anymore.

My hands clenched at my lap, what if he wants me to leave? He said he’s got important meetings and..” worries started to fill my mind but a knock to the door cut them off as i jumped a little to stand up suddenly “Y-yes, come in?”

The very person who I'd been thinking about opened the door as he stepped in and closed it behind “Hello dear, I see your all ready now, I'm afraid the meeting’s gonna be soon, i was gonna make the suggestion of you accompanying us but i feel it might just make you feel uncomfortable right?” I blinked a bit but nodded, lowering my head slightly. I hadn't really thought he’d take me with him but the thought of a meeting with me having no context to what it was about and the stares, filled me with nervousness.

He came forward a little as he moved a hand under my chin to tilt my back head back up as he smiled “I guess now is the right time to ask this question, what would you like to do dear?” “What do I want to do..?” mumbling a little confused by his question but he seemed to continue. “I’d rather not leave a youngish cookie all on her own especially in your situation and with the state of your home.” wandering past me for a moment as he picked up my hat from the hook it’d been and came back to gently place it upon my head, brushing some strands of my hair out the way.

“So, would you like to stay with me and the others in the castle? I was originally going to ask you around the time you woke up but I felt you needed time to adjust and..” I cut him off with a small gasp “i-i can stay here with you? Really!?, i-I'm not gonna be a burden?” my voice was not hiding my enthusiasm which seemed to surprise him a little. “Of course, it was my plan to offer you not long after we found you but I wanted you to have the choice, it seems it was silly of me not to assume it now and you’d never be a burden dear, having you here has already filled me with much joy” chuckling to himself but his comment made me a little embarrassed.

“So while I'm attending the meeting, how about you and some of my other dear friends, go to your old home, to salvage what you can of your possession to bring back here and when the meeting is over, hopefully with no complications, I'll come find you again? How does that sound?” I nodded eagerly, that did sound like a good plan “S-so these friends, have i met them yet?.” He hummed “ Well Black Raisin would be one but the other two weren't at the feast, but I can take you to introduce you to them. Right now, you’ve never seen the Wafflebot hanger?”

I tilt my head confused. “ Wafflebot hanger..?” clearly confirming his suspicions with a chuckle. He opened the door, offering out his hand “I promise, it’s a sight to behold, shall we?” a smile brightening my face as i nod, taking his hand, maybe today would be more interesting than i thought. ---------------------------------------- I gasped as I peered around the hanger, what was all this, I'd never seen anything like it before, wandering a little closer to peep up at what it'd later to find out to be a Waffle Goliath, moving my hand out curious to try and touch it but a high pitched voice sounded out behind me. “HEY! Don’t touch that! I’ve just finished maintenance on that one!” I quickly spun on the spot then glanced down, it was a cookie actually smaller than me, with pink hair, strawberries, little waffle earmuffs, cape and very small arms “Who are you anyway? How’d you get in here!”

I was about to answer their question waving my hand frantically, it's going to be the feast all over again but his Majesty placed a hand on my shoulder, appearing behind me “ Ah! Strawberry Crepe Cookie, just who we were looking for, is Espresso around too? I assume you're getting along well since I didn't see either at the feast last night.”

They seem to put their hands on hips giving a huff “ That doesn't answer my question! Who is this?” seeming to inspect me quickly “Hmm..,Vanilla origins eh?, Wafer huh but 100% plain, how boring” I looked startled at the comments, can they tell that by looking at me and boring? But expressing dropping but not uncaught as his Majesty sighed a little “Strawberry Crepe, what have I said about analysing cookies without asking?” , they seem to make a pouting expression in return “That it’s rude, to ask first or keep it in my head…” clearly having heard this a few times by now. His Majesty sighed a bit but gave me a reassuring smile “Don’t mind what Strawberry Crepe say’s okay?” I gave a small nod, we had more important things to worry about anyway. “This is Plain Wafer Cookie, our new friend, she arrived yesterday.” his majesty motioned to me but Strawberry Crepe seemed to perk up in interest “ Wait.., did you use the gateway to the Kingdom at all?” I raised an eyebrow, that was a bit of an odd question “U-um yeah, that’s how you get up to the Kingdom right?”

They seem to scratch their chin in thought “well that does explain why the monitor picked up someone using it, when we fixed up gateway, I may of set up a little security system, inputting all resident information from the kingdoms archives so it’d give off a small alarm if a non resident used it to show up on my computer to alert us but.., the alarm didn't go off for you, so why is that?” squinting eyes a bit as they stared up at me.

"W-well um you see..” looking at them then back at his Majesty as he nodded for me to continue “ I-it’s because i am a resident, just..,a few decades ago now apparently..” rubbing my arm nervously as I explained.

They seemed to process the information as eyes then start to twinkle “Fascinating! You must have been somewhere in the archive that I installed into the database then but logically how? If you were from decades ago you’d be an old wrinkly cookie now, unless you were like Pure Vanilla here with a Souljam.” clearly wanting me to continue. I nervously peered down as i play with the edge of my robes sleeve “I-I'm not sure what happened, but i went out on a trip to the nearby village and explored this shop, i picked up this gear like object that i thought was a clock and the next thing i know, i’m awake in this deserted village. I ran back to the kingdom, to my house, where his Majesty found me.”

“A gear shaped object..,hm, oh! That does explain the message Black Raisin gave us yesterday, that’d slipped my mind duh!” waving their tiny arms up in exclamation. His Majesty chuckled at the antic’s “Well we can discuss that later, I was actually hoping you, Espresso and Black Raisin could help Plain Wafer salvage things from her home, it’s located in the still abandoned houses of the kingdom and there is a lot of rumble, I'm afraid i have a meeting to hold and I'd rather her not be on her own."

They seem to contemplate “Ehh! but that seems boring.., though i could test one of my new Wafflebots by cleaning the rumble away, oh yes! That’d be fun, yeah I'll do it!” having been convinced to kind of help me.

"Hmm? What this I hear, a trip into the abandoned section of the city, how mysterious” , a darker looking cookie with quite neat hair, a tie and glasses appeared while sipping from a cup. Glancing to his Majesty then me with a raised eyebrow “Ah, this must be about the message Black Raisin provided us, am i right? Plus I heard about the little “Intruder” incident yesterday.”

I lower my head a little embarrassed, right an intruder, that's how people are perceiving me so far. I felt a reassuring pat on my head as his Majesty stepped forward “Ah Espresso Cookie, lovely to see you, I assume you're settling in alright?” he seemed to sip his cup for a moment then nodded “Yes, me and Strawberry spent quite the night talking over Schematics and formulas, may i say some are a bit outdated though.” 

His Majesty chuckled “Well I’m glad, but I do have a favour to ask, as i told Strawberry Crepe, I'd like you accompany dear Plain Wafer here to her home  to try and salvage some belongings, Black Raisin will be along soon to help you and keep her company till the meeting is finished?” Espresso hummed, taking a sip from his cup then setting it on the side “ that sounds kind of tedious but since your asking Pure Vanilla, of course, plus seeing one of the house interior and how it was in the past might be somewhat intriguing.”

“Brilliant, while I really must get going, please do look after her for me and meet up with Black Raisin at the house, Plain Wafer can lead you.” clapping his hand together happily then turning towards me giving a ruffle to my hair “I’ll see you later, okay dear? You’ll be fine” giving me a reassuring voice before he wandered out towards, probably to the council hall. ---------------------------------------- After being led outside by the two from the Wafflehanger, we were heading toward the square, where the statue that I always bowed to was located. Strawberry Crepe was riding on the shoulder of a Wafflebot. I'd learned the name after it was introduced to me quite eagerly. They spoke up “Ugh you guys are slow, it’s down that way and up right?, I'll probably see Black Raisin, I'm going ahead!” racing off before either of us could stop them. Espresso sighed with a shrug and we just kept walking but we suddenly came across another cookie as we turned a corner. “Haha Espresso Cookie! Didn't expect to see you outside so soon, you seemed so cooped up in that hanger!” The mysterious cookie gave a booming laugh, he was adorned with shiny Armor and his hair was very close to my own colour. Espresso sighed and seemed to try and give a bit of a smile yet still showing a bit of distaste  “Hello Madeleine, actually we are on an errand and very bu-.” he was cut off as the now deemed Madeleine pushed past him directly to me as i jumped a bit in surprise. “Why, who is this? Not a face I've seen yet, I am Madeleine Cookie, heir of house Madeleine and shining knight of the Creme Republic!, who may you be little miss?” his voice booming a little as he introduced himself with no hesitation as he even took my hand. “O-oh um, Plain Wafer Cookie, um House Madeleine? I've never heard of that..” replying to him with a bit of hesitation, though my answer seemed to make him gasp in horror. "You've never heard of the house of Madeleine, but we are one of the noble families of the Crème Republic?” letting my hand go in disbelief “b-but how?.”

Thankfully he was cut off by Espresso Cookie who looked a bit fed up already “Madeleine, we don’t have time for this, we are on an errand, wallow in despair about someone not knowing your “greatness” later! follow us if you want, at this point i do not care.., why are you even this far out yourself?” raising an eyebrow as he moved to keep walking, it seemed Madeleine would be joining us now.

He snapped out of his sudden sadness quite quickly “ Why, I was getting a lot at the old Vanilla Kingdom Structures, seeing how majestic the kingdom used to be and the lost history!.” His comment did bring a smile to my face, glad that someone still saw the kingdom like that, even in the state it seemed to be in right now.

Espresso waved his hand dismissively “Well if you keep following, you're gonna see more and i guess with your help, we can get this done a lot faster, now come along.” Madeleine seemed confused but nodded rapidly, obviously happy to be helping with something as we walked along. ----------------------------------------- When we arrived around the corner, there it was my home, the same as the previous day, in absolute ruins. Strawberry Crepe seemed to already be using their Wafflebot to move rumble away around the place, so we left them to it, probably for the best.

Black Raisin was leaning against the wall near the door and nodded upon noticing us but raised an eyebrow to Madeleine before shrugging it off. “I assessed the stability, it seems fine but be careful where you step.”

I peered to the entrance as I held a hand to my chest in nervousness, it was my home, yet it wasn't anymore. Feeling a comforting hand on my back from Black Raisin “Don’t worry, we are here to help, Pure Vanilla told me to make sure you’d be okay and I won't let him down, just tell us what to do okay?” I took in a breath and nodded then to the two behind as I stepped in, avoiding stepping on some sharp as we made our way in. “I-I've got a suitcase under my wardrobe that’s pretty big, we can fill that, if it’s still there.” turning a little towards the entrance to the living and kitchen area “ i-if someone could get the picture out of the frames in there and just see if anything is still usable, i can check them..” Madeleine clapped a hand to his puffed out chest “Leave it to me, I'll get it done in no time!” as he raced in and Espresso sigh “I’m gonna make sure he doesn't accidentally break anything that not been broken, plus it’ll be faster with two..” wandering in slowly after Madeleine.

That left me and Black Raisin as I looked to my room, the place where we first met “m-my room first” wandering over to open the door. It was the same as two days ago, not a dream, very much real as I signed a little but made way in while being followed.

We managed to find my suitcase in fairly okay condition as I had set it out on the bed and was going through the wardrobe to check my clothes. Most had holes from cotton moths eating away from them but I found a few robes that just seemed to be a bit dirty as I folded them up and into the suitcase. Black Raisin was nearer to my desk, peering at things I'd stuck on the wall as she commented “ You really idolized him, didn't you?.”

Her sudden comment made me jump as I turned to what she was looking at as my face brightened up in embarrassment, it was all the newspapers and pictures I'd cut out and stuck on the wall. “ Well.., a lot of us did back then, aspiring to be like him, that's why I attended a small local academy.”  She seemed to chuckle a bit “I bet this morning was a bit of a surprise then” which i just nodded too but she seemed to continue “ When i met him, he was wandering around in raggy robes and a blindfold, having no idea who he was, so he went by Healer Cookie, he’d always put other first before himself, I'd constantly need to remind him to look after himself, whether it was eating or resting in general."

I closed the wardrobe door, resting hands on it. “He..,did tell me briefly about what happened, he said.., he sacrificed himself to stop..her, and even asked if I hated him because of what happened, that he failed, but I'd never!, it’s not his fault!, so why does he have to feel sorry, i don’t want him to feel guilty!, is that why he is being so nice to me?” my forehead laying against the wardrobe now as I mumbled out the last bit. Black Raisin seem to notice my sudden distress as she came behind to comfort “Hey now..,while i can’t say he doesn't feel some sort of guilt, i know for a fact, he not just being nice to you because of that, I've seen the way he’s been caring for you, I've not seen him act like that with anyone else, he generally does care for your wellbeing and by doing that, he’s also been doing better himself, you managed to get him to eat this morning, usually he forgets.” giving me an encouraging smile. I gave a small nod then took in a breath to collect myself. “ O-okay, I'm fine now, shall we continue?”

It didn't take long for us to pack up what I had, decades can really do numbers on objects. My clock was broken but I swear it never worked right anyway and while my plushies were very dirty, they seemed repairable, but I couldn't take them all, so I chose my favourite, the cream sheep and by some miracle, my cream bird onesie had managed to survive getting mauled by cotton moths. I was packing the last of my pictures into the case as Black Raisin came up holding my calendar which had been taken down from the wall. “Hey.., what's the scribble on this date for?” I blinked, thinking for a moment then my eyes widened a bit “ O-oh um.., my bake day, I'd forgotten about that, i’d..,rather not think about it right now, especially without Mama and Papa..” lowering my head a little and continued sorting the case.

Black Raisin seemed to be contemplating something but nodded as she handed it to me to place in and I shut the lid. From the door of my room, I could see my parents room door. That was the last place to go but I felt so hesitant, I'd only briefly looked in when I arrived back. I have to do this, taking in a breath and nodding firmly to myself, picking up the case to take with me and marching towards it, while being tailed by Black Raisin.

I set the case down to the side of the door and raised a slightly trembling hand to the handle as I opened it and walked in. The room was covered in dust and rumbles, the roof having caved in slightly from above the bed but thankfully not seeming to have harmed anything else. My goal was the wardrobe and dressers, I know Mama and Papa kept a lot of important things hidden within and if they escaped in a hurry, they wouldn't have had time to pack, that's if they..

My last thought made me bite my lip, no..,I can’t think about that right now. Opening the door and kneeling down  and opening the last draw, my suspicions being corrected, it was full of things. A lot of letters, photos and many keepsakes. I didn't have time to sort through them, so I'll just take them all with me, starting to stack them.

I jumped a little as I heard some glass break, turning my head, it was just Black Raisin, breaking one of the photos out of the frame by smashing the glass “Oh sorry, I couldn't get it out, cause, well you know, so I had to break it, you just wanted the photo’s right?.” i nodded in return in understanding, after all, she did have one arm and i did only want the picture.

As I set the stack next to me, a larger object in the back caught my attention as I pulled it out. It was papa’s journal. Stopping the urge to look within it right now as I stood up, with the items in my arms to take to the suitcase outside the room.

That was everything, as I picked up the semi heavy suitcase. “ W-well i guess we better see how they did in the living area?” Black Raisin nodded “Hopefully not fighting the whole time..” which just made me raise an eyebrow, did those two not get along then?.

When we existed, both were actually at the doorway. Espresso had his arms crossed seemingly watching after Strawberry Crepe but Madeleine had a stack of some pictures, though was looking at with a frowned eyebrow. Espresso turned to look at us “Ah all done now? Brillant!, we collected all the pictures from frames, afraid nothing else seemed salvageable, there was also a giant hole in the wall.”

I smiled “T-thank you for helping me, I really do appreciate it.” he shrugged “ Well of course, I wouldn't want to disappoint Pure Vanilla.” though did seem to give a sly smile. “Strawberry Crepe seem to have tired themselves out though, not surprising with how we stayed up all night, so if you don’t mind, I'll take them back to the Wafflebot hanger.” motioning to the Wafflebot where Strawberry crepe was lodging in the arms and clearly having a nap.

Black Raisin spoke up before I could “Go ahead, I’ll inform Pure Vanilla that all is done, thank you again for your assistant Espresso and do tell Strawberry Crepe too when he’s awake.” He gave a slight bow and waved his hand to signal the Wafflebot to move onward, following after it.

I looked to Madeleine who was still looking at the picture with quite the concentration “O-oh um i can take those, thank you for coming to help me, Mister Madeleine Cookie.” He seemed to snap his head up “O-oh yeah, here you go!” offering me the picture “I do have a question though..”

I blinked while Black Raisin raised an eyebrow “What is it?” He straightened himself, getting a somewhat serious expression compared to the joyous one I'd only seen him with from meeting.

“That’s Heavy Cream Cookie in those pictures, ain’t it?” staring right at me. I stared back for a moment as my eyes widen a bit “Eh?”

{Previous} {Next} ------------------------------ (Dun Dun Dun?) (I hope I managed to portray the characters right, I took notes from Wiki.) (Also the timeline is: that while Day 2 of The Council of Heroes did pass, the meeting did not occur.) (So we are on Day 3 but day 2 meeting is happening.) (I'm experimented to add colours for speaking on the Tumblr version of this fic, do tell me if you like it like that?, as someone who has learning difficulties related to reading, colour coding tends to help and i want to make my fic readable for everyone.)

I got inspired to draw Pure Vanilla Cookie an outfit inspired by summer, flowers/gardening with a bit of old fashion. I like how the staff and hat came out. I was gonna give a parasol but just couldn't get it right.

Plain Wafer Cookie, Ask's/RP Intro (+ Extra Information at bottom)

*Plain Wafer poofs out of nowhere holding a time jumper in her hands* "..n-not again"

(OOC under cut)

I am very anxious to be doing this, but wanted to try out a little bit of Asks/RP, though I'm still figuring out how Tumblr works as I've only been using to post my OC's story. I'm a bit too scared to send any asks to any RP blogs so far

Rules:

Author is an adult, character appears young, so no NSFW, thank you!

Please be nice, i am so so nervous...;v;

Tags: Flavourless/Flavourless RP

Will interact with most as long as nice.

I don't know what else i should add, I've never done this before via blogs, if you have any advise it'd be appreciated.

This is also a blog where I add my character's story Flavourless with art pieces.

Character Context: Plain Wafer is a cookie from decades back in the Vanilla Kingdom before the Dark Flour war. After a trip to a nearby village and picking up an odd gear device (Timejumper), she finds herself decades in the future/present (Cookie Oddessy time). She's been missing for a long time.

-------------------------------------------

-Extra Info that may help to answer back questions, more will be added as i go-

• In her story, Pure Vanilla is not king anymore but she still refers to him as "His Majesty" out of habit and the fact it feels odd not too.

• She has anxiety though it not been properly stated, just that she tends to get overwhelmed and burst into tears in stressful situations.

A updated ref for my Cookie OC from her own story, Flavourless~ The hat is a pain to draw which is why i tend to go for her adventure outfit. The last expression is based on the CRK Official Comic, some of those facial expressions haha. -------------------------------------------------------------------- She was a resident of the Vanilla Kingdom decades before the kingdom fell due to the Dark flour war. One day she left to visit a nearby village but never returned, only to appear decades in the future with no change in appearance and no knowledge of the current affairs.

To her, her trip to the village was merely hours beforehand and she had picked up a curious looking gear piece which she thought was a clock in a mysterious shop..

The only person she seems to recognise so far is Pure Vanilla Cookie, who she still refer too as "Your Majesty".

To find out more, do have a read of the story on my profile or AO3 {Flavourless} --------------------------------------------------------------------

Flavourless,Chapter 10: New Day, New Style~

(Chapter is shorter but light-hearted and contains a bit of silliness, please look at end for a funny visual i drew.) ----------------------------------------------------------- The night had gone by without much more trouble, Plain Wafer had managed to sleep though with how tiring the events from the day before had been on her. As the ray from the windows hit her face, making her groan as she turned over, pulling a pillow over her head to hide from the light. “..too early” A chuckle made her raise her head slightly, squinting her sleepy eyes over to a nearby armchair as Pure Vanilla was sat upon with a pillow behind his head and blanket on his lap. “Good Morning, I pray you slept well?” Right, he’d given her the bed and chosen to sleep in his armchair, hopefully it wasn't  too uncomfortable. Sitting up as she stretched her arms with a small yawn. “Hmm, yeah, I'm usually quite sleepy but I feel refreshed, um.., thank you again for letting me have the bed.” He smiled back “Of course dear, it’d be rude to let a guest sleep on the floor and I'm used to sleeping in this chair once in a while with a good book.” raising up as he started to fold his blanket to set it on the seat with the pillow on top.  Clapping his hands with a cheerful expression as she wondered how someone can be so energetic this early in the morning. “Well, we best get ready for the day and get some breakfast, it’s gonna be quite the day i feel.”

She crawled out of the bed, almost getting tangled in the sheets as shook them off. She'd slept in the clothing from the previous day and was hoping to  be able to get some more fitting ones today. “You should brush your hair for now, we’ll eat then get washed up.” as he stood near her now handing over a brush and motioning to the nearby dresser with a mirror. Her hairclips on them having been left before retiring last night. Wandering over to it as she sat in the seat and started trying to brush down my unruly bed hair. Her bang covered the front of her face, making it hard to see while brushing as she flicked them to the side a little with a frustrated sigh, catching a certain someone's attention as I could see him behind in the mirror reflection. “Is everything alright dear?.”  Her shoulders slumped a little while playing with some hair from her bangs. “My bangs are always in the way, I use my hairclips to keep them out of the way but they are annoying to brush when covering my eyes."

He hummed for a moment placing his staff to the side of the dresser and seemed to glance around as his eyes lit up, grabbing something. “Ah here we go!” raising his hand to show off a pair of scissors he’d taken from a sewing kit that was on the table near his armchair. “Well lets just cut them.~”

She looked at him bewildered though the mirror. “I mean, that would work, but I was always scared to do it myself and was gonna ask before everything happened.., um, do you know how to cut hair?”

He seemed to grab the blanket from his chair as he draped it over her front and tied it up while she nervously looked back to the mirror's reflection. “Of course dear.” a small sigh of relief with a smile. “ I’ve cut many cream sheep's wool, it can’t be that much different!~”, her smile dropped instantly “w-wait what!, I-I'm not a sheep though!?.” He gave a cheerful chuckle, grabbing a handful of her hair in his hand. “Don’t worry, I'll just give it a bit of trim, it’ll be fine and won’t take too long~” as he prepared the scissors to cut. ----------------------------------------------------------------- It was not fine, totally not fine!, as she stared in shock back at her reflection as another piece of hair was snipped off as he suddenly looked in shock himself clearly having made a mistake, even the staff was giving a worried look “..o-oh dear.” Her hair was more in a state now than before, uneven with part cuts off, She couldn't go out looking like this! He seemed to notice her change in facial expressions as he set the scissors down, waving his hands then grabbing the staff “ O-oh um wait just a moment, we’ll fix this, i promise!” she kept staring at her reflection as she heard the door to the room open, in the mirror, he could be seen peaking out the door, looking right to left. His expression seemed to light up as he called out “ O-oh Financier Cookie, you're on your own? well if you are not busy, I could really use your help, please!, I've got a bit of a problem..” ---------------------------------------------------------------- She was staring back at the mirror again as the lady called Financier Cookie stood behind her with the scissors, cleaning it up with ease and perfection. “Sir, was it really a good idea to attempt to cut someone's hair when you mostly use your staff to see out of, really now..” shaking her head. The comment surprised her a little and was about to move her head to look at his majesty but a hand moved to firmly make her look forward. “ Stay put, look forward, we don’t want any more accidental snips and mishaps.” with a firm voice as Financer snipped away and Plain Wafer having to close her eyes as pieces of hair fell in front of her. She could hear His Majesty giving a bit of a sheepish laugh “Well.., i thought it wouldn't be much different than a cream sheep.” trailing off at the end. “No matter now, all done, I've done my best to make it presentable, do not cut anymore off.” As Financer placed the scissors down on the table in front of her and gave a quick brush. Plain Wafer squinted her eyes open and gasped looking at her reflection. This was so much better, her bangs were smaller and curling inwards, looking more puffy, it kind of reminded her of how her hair looked when she was a small cookie, well smaller. She leaned forward to grab her precious hairclips as she put them in to see how it looked. “Thank you, Mrs Financier Cookie” trying to give her my most beaming smile with the slight turn of her head.

Financer seemed to give a faint smile for a moment then bowed head as she looked at Pure Vanilla. “If that is all, I shall be off, I’m sure his Consul will understand my delay but I must not delay any further, if you excuse me for now.”  Pure Vanilla sighed in relief with a nod as she left “Of course, do give my regards, will be around soon!” calling out a little as he looked at Plain Wafer who was giving him a bit of a puffed up cheek pout, so he came to pat her head apologeticly “Right, right, I'm sorry dear, now how about breakfast? I tend to forget to have it myself as I'm usually by my self, so I'll cook! my treat as a sorry!.” ------------------------------------------------------------------

Plain Wafer stared at the burnt pieces of toast, egg and bacon on the plate in front of her then slowly side glanced to his Majesty, who was wearing an apron covered in mess and holding a spatula  “…I'll see if Black Raisin is about..” -------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Previous} {Next:Soon}

(I thought Financier would be the best to fix hair, after seeing her April fools sprite and Pure Vanilla is confirmed to have been some sort of shepherd.)

(Since its not confirmed whether he has any sort of visual impairment, I'm leaving it a bit ambiguous as well as the possible problems with food which I've seen many head canons for. Pure Vanilla needs to learn to take care of himself it seems.) (The cookie expressions are based on the Offical CRK kingdom comics, i felt it was very funny)

Flavourless, Chapter 9: Crème dela Crème.

(Pure Vanilla POV.) Warning: Contains depiction of breakdown/crying/panic attack.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ As I was having a pleasant conversation with Gingerbrave, being told about his recent adventures in Earthbread while munching on a few sugar stars from the plate he’d given me. The room seemed to suddenly go a little bit quieter as a certain voice of the consul perked up, my head snapped to the feast table nearby, this can't be good. Clotted Cream had spotted Plain Wafer, oh dear, should I go over? I felt I should but am I being overbearing if I do?. As I was lost in my thoughts I felt a tug on my sleeve as I looked at Gingerbrave, his expression having turned to concern. “PV, maybe you should go over..” clearly he shared the same opinion. Opening my eyes a little bit to quickly look back over as the conversation quickly escalated, the whole room seemingly gone quiet with only that conversation being heard now.

Plain Wafer shoulders trembled as she brought her arms close to herself “S-spy? No! I-i live here!.” Clotted Cream gave a slight scoff in return “Live here? I've never seen you before and I've had all the residents here checked for security reasons, don’t lie” Before I even realized it, I'd given my plate to a surprised Gingerbrave who fumbled a little bit with it and walked fast towards them. I was quick but gentle to put an arm around her shoulder and bring her close, wrapping my cloak to hide her from the stares around us as I gently whispered “ Shh..,breath okay? slowly, in and out”.

I felt a hiccup like tremble as I stroked her back slightly and my firm glance shot up to peer at Clotted Cream Cookie. “Hello, Consul, I see you’ve met our new friend, though I would very much appreciate coming to me if you had any questions, instead of interrogating her.” trying to keep my voice passive yet with a slight sharpness to it, it seemed to startle even him a bit as he raised hand to cough nervously, as if being caught doing something wrong.

“Ah, Pure Vanilla, I was merely trying to get to know our new guest a bit, especially since I've not been informed much about the occurrence that caused our meeting to be postponed and seeing how she being allowed to walk around freely especially with how important our gathering is, you can't blame me for being cautious.” straightening himself a little as he spoke, clearly voicing his distaste of not being provided any information prior to today's events.

I wince a bit at his comment, right, while Hollyberry and Dark Cacao had informed their own group, I’d forgotten to inform our Crème Republic guest. Feeling all the stares on us as the grip on my robe front tightened, I was hoping all this could wait for a new day but it seems it can not.

Taking a breath in then sighing out “That fault lies with me, forgive me, it was not intended to withhold information but I've been tending to our dear friend here, she was not even awake till just before the feast, those who were with me can confirm this, i can promise you she is no danger to anyone.” 

I gently rubbed her back, feeling the trembling calming a bit as I continued “I was hoping this could wait till the morning but clearly you do deserve some answers, So if you’d follow me and the rest can continue the feast” smiling at Clotted Cream who seemed curious and nodded.

The chatter in the solarium returned as many went back to eating and happily chatting while I motioned towards the doors preparing to leave as I moved to grab Plain Wafer hand and guide her along. I could see the glances of Hollyberry and Gingerbrave but I smiled in return with a nod, reassuring them that I had this handled.

I glanced back down to Plain Wafer, her head was lowered as her hair was covering her eyes as if to hide herself, the trembling had lessened but I felt it wasn't over. I was starting to see what Heavy Cream Cookie meant back then. The trip back to the guest room was quick and as we passed the window, I noticed someone had cleaned and put out her robe on a liquorice line in the garden. I’ll have to thank the villager cookies later for being so quick, I should have a sewing kit somewhere to fit the holes later.

Opening the door and leading the two in, I finally noticed Financier Cookie had also accompanied us “Oh, right” of course, wherever Clotted Cream goes, she's not far behind as she was his bodyguard, so I allowed her to pass though. Closing the door and turning my attention back to the room. Plain Wafer had taken to the bed, looking down at her lap with her legs pulled up. Clotted Cream was leaning against the wall near the balcony while Financier was standing near to the door, keeping guard.

I went to sit beside her on the bed, leaving my staff to the side and gently letting her lean against me for a bit of comfort while I began to address the issue.

“As you know, right before our meeting some of the villager cookies had run to inform us of spotting an odd cookie who had run off into the more abandoned part of the kingdom.” Clotted Cream nodded “Yes that much is clear.” waving his hand in a motion to continue as if his patience was wearing thin.

“We found her in one of the abandoned houses, hiding under the bed, as soon as she heard my voice, she came out and called me, “Your Majesty”. Clotted Cream raised an eyebrow “But you abdicated the throne, I thought that was at least common knowledge to those around us now? and anyone else would either not know your back or be too young to know who you are.”  looking a bit sceptical.

I chuckled a little. “Well some do like to still consider me their king, i can’t really stop them but that wasn't the strangest part.” Raising my hand as I motioned to the unmoved shoulder bag on the dresser table. “If you’d be kindly to pull a book like journal out of that bag.”

He seemed confused, moving from his leaning position as he went to the bag and quickly pulled out her worn journal. “This?” I nodded and glanced down, Plain Wafer had been silent for quite a bit now, which was concerning but it was still best to ask permission since it was her belongings. "Dear, would it be okay for him to look at your journal?” getting confirmation with the slight nod of her head.

I smiled, rubbing her back, at least she wasn't completely unresponsive as I thought and looked back to Clotted Cream, who had opened the book. “Look at the last entries within it, you'll see what i mean.”

He sighed, leaning back against the wall with book in hand as he flipped pages and started reading. "I'm unsure how a small little journal is going to matter in this.." though didn't take long for his expression to change to confusion. “These entries are from decades ago.., and the last seem to be from a different person during the fall of this kingdom..” he looked a bit baffled “But your saying this is her journal?”

Giving a faint nod. “It is, I can confirm the entry myself as I was present in it and I now recall seeing her.” Clotted Cream raised a hand to his forehead as if processing the information. “But that doesn't make sense, look at her!, if we go by the journal entry date and the fact you've met her before, she’s not changed a bit in decades!, which is not plausible without a souljam.”

She seemed to flinch a bit at his raised voice but I hugged her closer. “ And you’d be exactly right, she has not changed a bit because the day after that entry, she mysteriously never returned from her trip to a nearby town, yet here she is, decades later, the same as the day she left and with no knowledge of the events of these past decades.” I sighed a little as I continued “to her, the entry of that journal was merely yesterday.”

Clotted Cream looked dumbfounded, clearly thrown off by the information as he stopped leaning on the wall “ A-are you telling me, she’s a Vanilla kingdom citizen from decades ago? before the kingdom fell?, how is that possible?.” his voice lowered a bit at the end as he was still processing the possibilities.

Shaking my head a little “ I'm afraid i can't answer that one just yet, we are still trying to figure that out, a certain piece of information she gave might help us in the direction to that answer which is why i was going to ask for the assistance of Espresso Cookie and Strawberry Crepe Cookie, but, I was trying to give her room to process and calm first, she’d fainted earlier after we confirmed that decades had passed and I asked for a feast to be hosted to try and get her introduced to others while also getting her fed, trying to give a bit of room to process, it's a lot to take in."

Clotted Cream rubbed his hand down his face, a shameful expression adorning it with a sigh “..seems i made a miscalculation, forgive me for acting so brash, it’s clear now that you were simply doing what you felt was right and weren't withholding such information for no reason, the circumstance's not making it easy either.”

Smiling a little as we finally come to an understanding, as much as he can appear a bit full of himself and quite forward in acting, I know the Consul really does care for the safety and welfare of other cookies, he just has his own way of doing it. “I’m glad we were able to come to an understanding Consul, as strange as this situation is, I feel it’s my duty to watch after her, i can only imagine her father's face if he learned i let something happen to her..”

Clotted Cream placed the journal on the desk next to him as he raised an eyebrow “ you knew her father?” “Yes, he was one of my guardsmen and..”  A sudden felt large trembles to my side cause me to stop mid sentence as I glanced down concerned “Plain Wafer..?”

Her whole body was trembling heavily again as she raised her hands to cover her face, breaths coming though heavy with gasps “ i-im sorry.., i” whimpering a little “ i-i didn't know what to do a-and i caused you t-trouble..and P-papa..” her voice waving so much near to the end as she seemed to curl up on herself.

I could feel my own heart breaking at the sight, she’d been holding this in, to suddenly lose everything she once knew, having to deal with many new faces and questions, I'm surprised she lasted this long, but it was better for her to let it out then hold it all in. I brought the blanket forward from the bed to wrap around her as I held her tight, letting her heavy tears stain the front of my robes as she curled up more, her wails now muffled. “Shh..let it all out, I've got you..” Resting my chin on her head while i tried to comfort her.

A few whispers to my side as the door opened and closed, caused me to open an eye towards Clotted Cream who was still here. “I asked the Financier to get some warmed milk, I heard that helps afterwards.” moving up from his spot against the wall as he knelt on one knee in front of her from the side of the bed. "I'm sorry for how I treated you before, I did not know the circumstances and acted abruptly towards you which has caused you distress, i hope you can forgive me.” he spoke with a gentle tone which was a bit of a shock, having never seen this side of him before.

She hiccups with a sniff and a few gasps before turning her head to look at him, a few tears still rubbing down her face. “Hmm?” He smiled “I shouldn't have called you a liar earlier, clearly I would of had to look at records a little more far back right? silly me” giving a slight chuckle as he made a slight joke clearly trying to lighten the atmosphere.

He proceeded to sit at her other side, legs crossed in a regal fashion as she seemed to sit up a little now, her breath gasping with a few tears that started to lessen as her gaze got more curious at him.

“You know the Crème Republic had many Vanillians who escaped the kingdom and their descendants inhabit the city even now. With the right information, I'm sure we could find information on your parents. One of the elders is a survivor of the kingdom, Vanilla Sugar Cookie.” This seemed to make her gasp, attempting to rub away the tears with her sleeves rapidly “Vanilla Sugar, i-i recognise the name, she owned a cream sheep that i liked to pat, it always followed her.”

Clotted Cream looked surprised as I looked back at him with an equally surprised expression. “Do you think you could send her a letter, Consul? I understand she may be busy being one of the elders and all but..” He shook his head “I was already going to send one before you asked, it’ll take time to get a response though and i may need you to provide me with more necessary information but in the meantime we’ll have to get back on track with our scheduled meetings tomorrow, i hope you can understand despite the current circumstances.”

I nodded “ Of course and thank you Clotted Cream, I've never seen this side of you before, it's quite refreshing” chuckling a bit, He seemed to get a bit embarrassed as he tucked at his sleeve and stood up “W-well i can’t exactly not do anything, its my duty to protect the citizens and clearly this may hold the interest of the elders too.” mumbling a bit at the end. I chuckled as I heard the door open and Financier returning with a small teacup as she set it on the table, bowing her head.

“Well it’s getting late so we shall retire, thank you for providing me with the necessary amount of information, Pure Vanilla, clearly there is much more but that can wait for a new day, when we all refreshed, so I bid you both a goodnight” giving off just a faint smile as he motioned for himself and Financier to leave.

As I heard the door closed, I turned my attention back to Plain Wafer, she’d clearly calmed down now with just slight hiccups as I rubbed her back. “Feeling better dear? I’m really sorry, I should have asked how you were really feeling.”

She rubbed her eyes “N-no, it would have happened anyway, i thought i could handle it, you don’t need to be sorry, your Majesty, this is normal for me, I didn't want to cause you any more trouble” slightly mumbling at the end. I sigh a little at her end comment “That’s a little concerning, you don’t have to be scared to tell me either, as a Mender, it’s my duty to make sure you're in good health and I do remember your fathers comments.” tilting her head slightly as I raised my own sleeves to wipe away some of the remaining tears stains on her cheeks.

“Also you don’t need to call me your Majesty anymore dear, I'm not king, Pure Vanilla is fine.” Chuckling a little as she saw her cheeks puff up in embarrassment as she responded “but calling you anything else feels weird..” I shrugged my shoulders with a smile. “ Alright then, after all it's only a name and if it makes you feel comfortable.”

I looked out to the balcony seeing the night had rolled in as the moon was high in the sky. “It’s gotten quite late, I think the others can finish and clean up the feast without us, it’d be best to start thinking of sleeping after such a difficult day.” She looked around the room a little at the mention then down to her sleeve as she picked at it “..c-can i um.., stay with you tonight? please.., i-i don't wanna be on my own.” I smiled warmly, I had a feeling that she was gonna ask “ Of course dear, I still have some letters to write anyway.” offering her the warm milk that had been brought in as she gulped it down.

The information the Consul had provided was still loud in my mind, a possible hopeful lead but I pray it won’t lead to more sorrow. {Previous} {Next:}

----------------------------------------------- (I couldn't actually think of a title for this chapter, so just made it related to crème republic and clotted cream.)

(I actually like Clotted Cream and hope I got his character right, i feel he does have a nice side to him especially when dealing with someone that may be a lost ancestor of his. Also Financer Cookie! can't forget about her, she didn't really speak, she'll play a bit of a funny role in the next chapter.

This has become a bit of an AU now, though next chapter will try to get it back on track with the canon story line before diverging off again.)

[plainwafercookie]

A small doodle as i procrastinate writing a new chapter.. Her hair was mentioned a bit in the chapter, so i thought, what would she look like with a haircut and here we go!~ It actually really cute and i think i may change it to this style and put it into a chapter.

Flavourless, Chapter 8:Feast in the Solarium part 2.

(Plain Wafer POV)

Warnings: Depictions of Anxiety/Panic near end of chapter

------------------------------------------

During our trip out towards the washroom we’d somehow found Hollyberry Cookie, I couldn't help stare a bit in awe, to think I'd get to meet the ancients other than his majesty up close.

She was certainly tall and her voice loud but cheerful. I tried to think back to the books, she was the one that used her shield if I'm correct and her souljam was shaped like a heart, just like my hairpins, so cool!

I was quickly broken from my train of thought as his Majesty spoke up. “Ah Hollyberry on your way to the feast? Would you like to walk with us?, though i require a little assistance first friend, you see our guest requires a little bit of a clean up first” he spoke with a smile on his face as he motioned to me.

She gave a chuckle back “ Of course, more the merrier and we can’t have our new little friend turning up looking like rolled in the dirt can we?” being a bit teasing at the end. I looked down to my sleeves and robes, tilting my head slightly, did I really look that bad?

“It seems to have slipped my mind that she’ll require a new set of clothes to wear, I'm sure i probably have something with my drawers that may fit a little, would you be able to assist her to the wash room while i go get them?” Pure Vanilla spoke up as he gently handed me off to Hollyberry.

“Leave it to me friend!, shall we be on our way new little friend?” she said as she looked at me and tugged me along as Pure Vanilla turned to head back to his room. I sighed a little as I was pulled along thinking to myself that I know I'm kind of short for my age but she doesn't have to keep bringing it up, but I know she means well.

We soon arrived at a fancy door as she opened it and let me enter first, it was a standard wash room with sink, bath and other amenities but just really fancy with the smell of vanilla perfume in the air.

“There’s a cotton cloth near the sink with syrup wash and brush, that should be enough to be clean for now. I'll just be outside to give you some privacy while we wait for Pure Vanilla to find you some clothes, okay dearie? Oh! And just fold up your current clothing and pop it on that hamper.” she said as she was out the door and about to close it.

I just nodded then looked to the sink as I heard the door close, now I was on my own as I looked to the mirror above the sink, then grimaced a bit. My hair was all over the place, which was normal since I'd been in bed not long ago and had a bit of dirt in it, but a bit of brushing should get that out.

Raising my hand as I turned on the tap, letting the warm syrup water flow into the sink then taking the hairpins out of my hair, causing my bangs to fall in front of my eyes as I shook my head. Maybe I should consider getting a haircut sometime.

I grabbed the brush and started brushing my hair, getting a bit of dirt out and taming the scruffiness that sometimes happens. Usually Mama would help me when my hair got a bit bad but that thought made me pause, the hand with the brush trembling a little. But she’s not here now, I'll maybe never get to feel her gentleness as brushed the knots out of my hair now. I could feel a wetness roll down my cheek as I quickly rubbed it away with my sleeve, no! I can’t think like that right now, focus!, giving myself a little slap to the cheek.

A small knock to the door made me jump as I turned, an arm placed some clothes in the doorway. " Just gonna leave these clothes inside the doorway for you dear!” then closed the door, i could hear light chatter outside now too, his majesty must be back.

Looking back to the mirror as I took a big breath in and out, then continued to clean up and get rid of the dirt on my face and hair. Turning to the clothes as I picked them up after straining the sink of water as I blinked.  Wait, are these his Majesty's clothing?, this is gonna be so embarrassing but it's not like i have anything else to wear. Sighing a little in defeat as I quickly got changed, folding up my dirty clothing and setting it on the hamper, i do hope we can repair them.

The clothes I was given were quite baggy so i landed up tying up one side as to not trip over and made my way out the door.

“I-im done, sorry for the wait..” as I looked at the two and could see Hollyberry's amused expression as she commented “Aww, would you look at that, it's like we have another mini Pure Vanilla Cookie, just like Custard Cookie lll~”. I lowered my head embarrassed, I knew this would happen but also, who’s custard? and it seemed his Majesty had the same reaction “HollyBerry!”

She just chuckled “I’m just teasing you, anyway shouldn't we be heading to this feast?”

He seemed to nod “ Yes your right friend, shall we?” and turned to walk back the way we came but offered me his hand, I didn't even think twice as I took it, usually i’d be so embarrassed but as we walked everything was so new so i could help but look to all the portraits and décor, apart from Papa, I didn't know anyone else that had been inside the castle walls before.

We soon made two big doors as they were pushed open to reveal the Solarium of Unity. I’d always dreamed of seeing this place for real, I'd read about the sugar stained windows in one of our class books, they looked so pretty.

I noticed lots of table and chairs with a few of those cookies I'd though where invaders setting up and the bigger one leaning against the wall, she seem to notice us and come closer but my attention had shifted to what i was looking for, as i looked in awe and couldn't help but wander over to them.

The sugar stained windows of all the ancient cookies looked even more beautiful in person, though I did notice slight repairs to them, after what I was told about the war, I guess that’s to be expected, though I did wonder, staring at the two windows, where are the other two ancients?

I turned my head a little then blinked, Pure Vanilla and the cookie whose name had slipped my mind were staring at me, oh yeah..,right, I'd wandered off, curse my curiosity, lowered my head and wandered back. “..sorry, I've only ever seen them in books” Pure Vanilla just smiled in return “ It’s quite alright dear, i know you’ve seen her but not been properly introduced, this is Black Raisin Cookie, a very dear friend of mine ”

She gave me a quick bow of her head “Greetings, I do hope I didn't spook you too much back then, it was not my intention but I was merely doing my job to help ensure the safety of our home.” I quickly raised my hands to wave. "I -it’s alright, I'm fine now, i umm.., may of thought you were an invader before along with the others, sorry..”   I was silently glad I hadn't tried to defend myself against any of them, if i had caused harm, she may not be as nice as she is now.

“No need to apologize, you have your reason and to you, we are new, so it’s nice to meet you, Plain Wafer Cookie” offering out her hand as I perked up and shook it, well that went better than i expected. Pure Vanilla seemed to speak up next to me. “Well it seems like most are here, feel free to partake in the offered foods my friends”, I couldn't help but give a small giggle to one of the cookies reactions, must of been really hungry.

Feeling a gentle tap on my shoulder as I turned my head again “Feel free to go collect some food while I chat to my dear friend for a moment dear, okay? I’ll just be here”. I looked towards the feast then Pure Vanilla. I was feeling a bit hesitant but I can't expect him to be right next to me all the time, I can manage!.

So I wandered over to the closest table, leaving him to chat with Black Raisin. There was so much food and even some I'd never seen before, what should I try first? But I jumped a little as a voice came up next to me as I looked over.

It was one of the smaller raisin-like cookies that was helping set up and had a bag over their head. “Hey! You're the person they brought in right? It’s nice to meet you properly now, I’m Villager cookie 3!” Then as I was about to reply, another pop up, this time with bandages covering most of their face “I’m Villager Cookie one!”, then a third with “ I’m Villager Cookie two!”. How many of them were there? And why did they all have numbers? Shaking my head a little to reply before they started looking at me strangely.

“I-I'm Plain Wafer Cookie, it’s nice to meet you all” glancing at them then the food, i was getting starting to feel the hunger but didn't want to seem rude. One seemed to pick up on this and offered up something from the table, it looked like bread? “Oh right you must be hungry, why not try some raisin bread, it her specialty, though not a lot seem to like it, must be an acquired taste.”

I took the offered bread, peering at it curiously. It was quite darker than normal and I could see black pieces in it “T-thanks, I'll give it a try” raising it as i took a bite. It was actually pretty good, chewy with a hint of sweetness, I never was a fan of things that had overwhelming flavours, guess that works for my namesake.

“Do you like it?” one of them asked curiously as I nodded with a smile, chewing more “I-its really good!” causing me to receive a bit of a cheer from the Villager Cookies.

They continued to help me try some of the different foods, despite how we first met, they were actually really friendly if not a little funny at times. I feel like maybe we can be good friends. I waved to them as they went off to help more in the feast and chewed on a jelly.

Things were going okay, so far but another voice made me jump “Well, who pray tell, might you be? I heard about a small commotion that postponed our meeting.” I nervously turned a little on the spot as I looked to a Cookie with hair just a bit brighter than my own in a fancy style with bright green eyes, a suit that kind of reminded me of a nobleman's and a bit of a smug smile on his face.

“I-i um, hm” gulping a little in my nervousness as I couldn't seem to answer well and just nodded. He raised an eyebrow though seem to take note of this. “Oh how rude of me I should introduce myself first, I am Clotted Cream Cookie, Consul of the Creme Republic, who might you be and how come you are suddenly here?”

I tense a bit, he seemed kind of intimidating “P-plain Wafer Cookie, I um well, i-its hard to explain” My reply only seemed to make him question more “Hard to explain hmm how? It seems strange that a random cookie shows up being rather suspicious and disturbing our important meetings, you're not a spy are you?”

I can feel my shoulder tremble as I bring my arms closer to myself, I could feel the room go a bit silent and many starting to stare “S-spy? No! I-i live here.” He gave a scoff “Live here?, I’ve never seen you before and I've had all the residents here checked for security reasons, don’t lie”

I can feel tears coming, I didn't know what to do or what to say to him as I squeezed my eyes shut trying control my breathing, I couldn't stop it anymore, I'd been doing so well too..

But then s uddenly a gentle arm was around my shoulder as I was brought closer to someone and i felt my cheek press against something soft. I opened my eyes a bit to glance up though my teary vision, it was his Majesty, he brought me close and wrapped part of his cloak around me, my cheek was against his chest.

He smiled down with a hint of worry “ Shh..,breath okay? I’ve got this” moving his cloak more to hide me then raises his face back up to direct it toward the Clotted Cream Cookie.

As I buried my face back trying to control my breathing i saw his expression. I think this was the first time, I've ever seen seen his Majesty look angry.

Oh no Clotted Cream, you gone and done it.

Don't worry, he's means well, just did it in the wrong way and i do like the character.

Flavourless,Chapter 7:Feast in the Solarium part 1.

Pure Vanilla was back in his own room shuffling though some of his clothes within the dresser.

He’d managed to find Hollyberry during the trip in the hallways and had politely asked for her assistance with helping Plain Wafer Cookie clean up by showing her to the washing area but had realized she needed some new robes to wear while her current ones were washed and repaired.  Picking up one of his lesser used white robes, a pair of choco leggings and waffle poncho then carefully setting them to the side. He was hopeful they’d at least work for now until they were able to clean her current ones and collect her things from the house depending on what was salvageable.

He paused in thought for a moment, he was getting a little ahead of himself having not even asked her yet if she’d like to stay within the castle. Despite how small she appeared, he was aware she wasn't that young, just a little older than Gingerbrave and should be given the choice of where she resides. But the residences weren't really liveable anymore and quite further into the kingdom in the parts that had yet to be repaired and the dangers that could occur if something fell or broke. Staying in the castle would make it easier to look after her too. Blinking for a moment then sighing a little, the two had barely just met and he was already acting like a worried parental figure. Maybe it was the guilt gnawing at him and what would Heavy Cream Cookie think of him if he ever allowed something to happen to her. 

Getting up as he picked up the clothing into his arms and collecting his staff. There was no point worrying about what if’s for now and made his way out of the room.

It didn't take him long to spot Hollyberry outside the door to the washing area, leaning a bit against the wall. “Pure Vanilla! There you are my friend! She’s just getting cleaned now. I just had to help her find some cleaning things and told her to leave her dirty clothes folded on the hamper, I assume those are the change of clothes?” He nodded as he handed them over and she turned to the door with a small knock and raised voice “ Just gonna leave these clothes inside the doorway for you dear!”, slightly opened the door as she placed them down and closed the door again.

“So, how are you faring?” she spoke up as he looked up, a bit surprised “What do you mean?”. She chuckled “I’ve known you long enough to be able to tell when something is on your mind and with this situation, so many questions right?”

He gave a half chuckle in return “Could never get anything past you Hollyberry, but i shall be fine friend, our main focus right now should be her wellbeing.” This caused him to get a side hug from Hollyberry as she gave a joyous “Always thinking of others, just like you, just don’t forget yourself, okay?.”

They were soon interrupted by the door next to them opening as Plain Wafer Cookie shuffled out. She was wearing the offered clothing but it seemed to be a bit big on her, so she’d tied one side of the robe up. “I-im done, sorry for the wait..”

“Aww, would you look at that, it's like we have a another mini Pure Vanilla Cookie, just like Custard Cookie lll~” in a bit of a teasing voice which only caused Plain Wafer Cookie to looked embarrassed as she lowered her head but also looked a bit confused probably due to the mention of cookie unknown to her though Pure Vanilla did seem to stutter out “H-Hollyberry Cookie!”.

She gave a heartfelt chuckle patting his back joyfully “I’m just teasing you, always so easily flustered, anyway shouldn't we be heading to this feast?” He did sigh at her a little but with a smile “Yes your right friend, shall we?” and almost as if instinct offered his hand to Plain Wafer Cookie as she descended to his side and took it.

-------------------------------------

The trip to the solarium of unity was not very long but Pure Vanilla couldn't help but glance at Plain Wafer as she was looking around quite wide eyed and even tightened her grip on his hand. It wasn't very surprising when he thought about it, not many civilians really saw inside the castle even back in the day.

Open the door to the solarium as the small group were greeted by noise of village cookies chattering along with the moving chairs and tables.“That chair should go over there!”,” Raisin Jellies all set!”, “I’m hungry, can we eat yet?”.

Pure Vanilla chuckled at the antics as he spotted Black Raisin leaning on the wall, somewhat supervising them and waved. She perked her head up with a nod as she wandered over to them.

“Greeting Pure Vanilla, the foods pretty much done with minimal chaos” shrugging her shoulder with a slight joking tone.

He smiled warmly “Thank you. I appreciate all your effort at such a short notice, I hope we didn't take too long, just had to help our dear guest look a bit more presentable.” turning his head to smile at Plain Wafer but opened his eyes as he blinked realizing he wasn't holding her hand anymore and she was not next to him.

Hollyberry gave him a quick poke on the shoulder then motioned to where the stained sugar glasses of the five ancients were as she shuffled off further into the solarium to find Wildberry Cookie and get herself some berry juice as always, after all it is a feast.

Plain Wafer appeared to be looking up to them in awe then turned her head, realizing she was being looked at and bowed her head shyly as she made her way back to Pure Vanilla side. “..sorry, I've only ever seen them in books”

He smiled, “ It’s quite alright dear, i know you’ve seen her but not been properly introduced, this is Black Raisin Cookie, a very dear friend of mine” . Black Raisin gave a small bow of her head “Greetings, I do hope I didn't spook you too much back then, it was not my intention but I was merely doing my job to help ensure the safety of our home.”

Plain Wafer raised her hands as she waved “I-it’s alright, I'm fine now, i umm.., may of thought you were an invader before along with the others, sorry..” lowering her head a little apologetically and still thankful she didn't actually hit any of them with her staff. " No need to apologize, you have your reason and to you, we are new, so it’s nice to meet you, Plain Wafer Cookie” offering her hand out for a shake as Plain Wafer perked up and shook it back.

Pure Vanilla smiled at the sight then looked around, seem mostly everyone was here and he called out “Well seem like most are here, feel free to partake in the offered foods my friends” Gaining a rather big cheer from the one village cookie who was complaining about being hungry earlier as everyone started to collect food from the feast.

He looked at Plain Wafer, “Feel free to go collect some food while I chat to my dear friend for a moment dear, okay? I’ll just be here” She seemed hesitant as she looked at him then the feast but nodded, heading over to collect the plate and browse the collection of foods.

Black Raisin didn't miss a beat, with quick understanding “What did you find out?”

He sighed “Not much more than the journal really, she was able to tell me the exact same events as if they were yesterday, which I believe they may have been for her after one detail was mentioned.”

She raised an eyebrow as he continued “Do you think you could ask Strawberry Crepe Cookie and Espresso Cookie after the feast, if they can find anything on a clock looking gear? It appears she may have been in contact with this item before everything happened and I believe it will lead to the answers we need.”

She nodded “Of course, both do not seem to be here, so I assume they are still in the Wafflebot hanger working on something, we’ll deliver some food to them with the message.” 

Pure Vanilla smiled “Thank you again dear friend, what would i ever do without you.” “Probably still be wandering around with bandages on your face and attempting to pet a cake hound cause you found it cute and forgot they can bite.” she replied in a very teasing tone with a nudge to the shoulder.

“You're never gonna let that down are you?” chuckling a little while also embarrassed at the memory and just received a pat on shoulder as she left.

Turning his full attention now back to the feast as he noticed the villager cookies had surrounded Plain Wafer as she seemed to be trying the raisin bread and asking if she liked it. She nodded rapidly while chewing, her expression full of bliss as they cheered. He smiled a bit in relief, glad that she seemed to already be getting comfortable. Recalling a little how Heavy Cream Cookie mentioned his daughters overwhelming nervousness, so he was being careful and watching for the possible signs.

Feeling a slight bump to his arm as he turned head to side to see Gingerbrave holding up a plate for him, piled with jellies and sugar stars. “Hiya PV! Hollyberry told me to get you a plate with loads of jellies since you seem kinda busy and not to forget to eat.”

He smiled, taking the offered plate “ Ah yes, thank you Gingerbrave, are you enjoying yourself?” Getting a grin in response “Yeah! I even helped set up a little, though, how come we have a feast suddenly? Is this to do with the issue you guys ran off for earlier?” as he asked quite curiously.

“Actually, your pretty much spot on my friend, we have a new friend with us” nodding towards the direction of Plain Wafer who was being offered to try different foods by the village cookies as his hands were full with a plate and his staff. Gingerbrave looked over as he gasped in awe “Who’s she? I’ve never seen her before, even in our kingdom.”

Pure Vanilla smiled “She’s Plain Wafer Cookie, I'm afraid things are a little complicated at the moment, but she’s a citizen of this kingdom and a bit confused currently, she’ll hopefully be staying here with me as we are trying to figure out the circumstances of what happened to her but would you be able to be a friend for her? She's certainly gonna need it.”

Gingerbrave nodded rapidly without question as he patted chest “Leave it to me PV, we’ll be friends in no time.”

“I’m glad I can count on you friend and she seems to suffer from a bit of a nervous complex, though I'm not sure of the extent yet.” Pure Vanilla said with a bit of worry in voice. “Oh alright, maybe it's a bit like a Strawberry Cookie? She was a bit shy when we met but look at her now, though she’s still shy at time” laughing a bit.

“Hopefully your right friend.” looking out to the feast as he picked up a jelly from his plate to eat as he gazed out to the ongoing feast, watching for now.
