THE COOKIE RUN KINGDOM MEME

THE COOKIE RUN KINGDOM MEME

In the distant past,
After the chaos of iron and flame subsided,
many creatures baked by the Witches
scattered across the world.

Among them were the Five.

Five Cookies, graced with Soul Jam
of the purest kind.
Wise and powerful, they rallied others
to their cause.
As kings and queens, they ruled the Cookies,
bringing in a golden age of peace and prosperity.

But this age was not fated to last.

A harbinger of darkness appeared
and let shadow and evil infest the land.
And once more, the world erupted into chaos.

But the five Cookie heroes,
guardians of peace, have risen.
Twilight falls, and the war for
the Cookies' destiny has begun.

This meme takes place in the world of Cookie Run Kingdom, popular mobile gacha game full of alarmingly well designed cookie friends. On this meme, you can post characters from Cookie Run Kingdom as well as Ovenbreak, Cookie Run OCs (if you have them), or you can Cookie-ify one of your characters to fit the meme! Tag around and have fun!
I've written up some prompts to get started with, but they're pretty bare bones to give room for creativity. You're welcome to ignore them entirely and come up with whatever you'd like! Do TFLN, do action spam, whatever floats your boat.

You may also borrow prompts from the Random Scenario Meme!

PROMPTS:
1) Kingdom Life: Life in the kingdom is typically peaceful, at least when the various cake monsters are being kept at bay. It's bustling and full various shops and sights to see. Why not go take a look, or perhaps find a job to occupy yourself. Maybe you already own a business here?

2) Protecting the Kingdom: You're more interested in the adventurer's life. Striking out to find treasure, defeat monsters, and make yourself and your team stronger. Perhaps you've gone out to reclaim territory with a team, or you're defending the border from vicious cakehounds!

3) Soda Islands: The islands are great for those with adventurerous hearts just as much as they're great for those who just want to kick back and enjoy the sand and sun. There's something for everyone no matter which type of cookie you are!

4) Witches: You don't know how you ended up here. Maybe you're just coming out of the oven, or it was a recon mission gone awry, (or maybe you're having a particularly vivid nightmare), but you've somehow found yourself coming to inside of one of the witch huts. Unfortunately for you, you're not alone...how are you going to get out of this one?

5) Wildcard: Come up with your own prompt, or ignore these entirely! GO HAVE FUN ITS CHRISTMAS

Comments

Sparkling Cookie | Cookie Run Kingdom | OTA

[charmpagne]

[Sparkling is most often found bartending in the heart of the Kingdom. He keeps his bar open from 7AM-10PM on weekdays, 10AM-1AM on weekends.

For the purposes of this meme, you're welcome to assume all of his drinks on tap are various flavors of juice as the game describes, OR you're more than welcome to just straight up use regular alcohol/wine/etc, I'm fine with either!]

Herb Cookie | Cookie Run Kingdom | OTA

[plantbiased]

[Herb is most often found tending to his garden at his cottage-home on the outskirts of the main part of the kingdom. It's also not uncommon to find him tending to the various flowers and plants scattered throughout the kingdom itself, whether he planted them or not.]

Peppermint Cookie | OC | OTA

[royalmint]

[For the purposes of this meme, Pepper is a visiting prince from a neighboring kingdom. He's new to this kingdom in particular, so he's interested in getting a tour and meeting new folks.]

pastry cookie | cookie run kingdom | open

[pastory]

[voicetesting, but;

obviously pastry cookie can be found among her sisters at the st. pastry order, near and around the godly banquet & cake tower. for the sake of the meme, she can also be found running errands for the order around the kingdom.]

Licorice Cookie | ota

[glabracadabra]

[The only reason why he bothers to enter town is for four reasons:

1. Spying

2. Buying supplies

3. Eating at a diner or drinking at the bar.

4. Walking Chiffon.

But maybe there’s a secret fifth option and he’s watering some flowers.]

[pastory]

[Pastry Cookie is only bothering to walk amongst the masses to serve the needs of the Order. Which, in today's instance, is picking up some Hearty Rye from the Bakery; simple straightforward food.

And it's on her way to the Bakery where she notices...well, less the Cookie who looks just as much out of place in this town as she does, and more the Cream Hound he seems to be looking after. To her, all Cake Monsters look the same, and she'd rather not differentiate one from another if it can be helped, but this one--

Instead of ignoring this and carrying on with her duties, she speaks up:] You there. [Directed clearly and directly at Licorice Cookie.] What are you doing walking that Monster like it's some sort of...pet.

[glabracadabra]

[Licorice Cookie was already in a sour mood due to having to take off his usual schedule in the name of it being his bet to lose on who it should be to walk Red Velvet Cookie’s special cake hound. Again. It was always him. Licorice Cookie found cake hounds exhausting and Chiffon wasn’t different. But Red Velvet loved them.

So it would behoove Licorice Cookie to walk him right. Oh, right, someone was talking to him. Rudely. Like his business was anything of hers.]

Huh?

[Pause before an annoyed face.]

Why is that any of your business, I’m just walking?

[ephemeralflow]

[Getting a drink at the bar, hmmm?

Well, with how popular a place that is, it's not unusual for there to be many cookies in there for a drink. Nor is it strange to see unfamiliar cookies there, stopping while they visit the kingdom or just on their way through. In this sense, at least - along with the fact that she simply isn't known to most cookies in this timeline - Timekeeper Cookie hardly looks out of place.

Licorice, however, might have noticed that this one cookie has been staring at him the. Entire. Time. He's been there. Her expression hasn't changed, it's the same impenetrable smile plastered on her face the whole time. She's sitting alone at a table, with a glass of something golden and fizzy, but it's hard to tell if she's even drinking it what with the way she seems fixated on him.

Then, at one point, probably just when Licorice can no longer stand it, she's gone from the table without a trace.

And instead, is standing directly next to where he's seated, smiling down at him.]

Oh? This is unusual, isn't it?

[glabracadabra]

[...Was he being followed? Watched? No fair! He was supposed to be the snoop around here! Who was taking his thunder when he had one job?

It wasn't like he was gaining any real success, hence the drink. Of course, he'd come to believe he was here on reconnaissance because Cookies were lighter and more vulnerable a the juice bar. But if Licorice were to fit in, he also had to have a drink! He'll find success yet!

This wasn't a fun mission after all, it was serious. He had the sparkling glittery purple juice with berries and an umbrella to prove it.

He was mid sip, trying to shake off the paranoia he clearly had when Timekeeper Cookie just poofed in front of him. This caused him to spit his drink across the bar. He gagged.]

Bluh-!! Why you-!! D-don't do that!

[ephemeralflow]

[Sorry Licorice, you're probably not gonna out-snoop the cookie who can flit in and out of all of time like it's nothing here. Timekeeper grins at him, tilting her head curiously to the side.]

Why not? It's fun!

[She's still holding her own glass of juice, and it's clearly low enough to have been sipped from by this point, though at no point has Licorice actually seen her take a drink.]

[glabracadabra]

For you! Not for anyone else!!

[Timekeeper Cookie had a field day ahead of her because Licorice Cookie was so relentlessly easy to bully. A part of him knew this but he was never happy about it.

He pouted a little at the expensive, yet delicious drink that he wasted on this...ANNOYING cookie.]

Buzz off, will you? I'm trying to enjoy this drink you made me waste!

[ephemeralflow]

Oh my, a waste? Well, we can't have that.

[Timekeeper lifts a finger, twirling it counterclockwise in the air. Then, like a video clip played in reverse, the spewed drink lifts up from where it's landed - probably startling the bartender already trying to clean it up, but it even seeps back out of his cleaning rag - and returns towards Licorice in the exact pattern that it sprayed out his mouth in, until it's collected into a single blob hovering in the air. Timekeeper then simply returns the blob to Licorice's glass with a snap of her fingers.]

There, all fixed!

[glabracadabra]

B-blll-bluh-?!

[His tough guy routine was swept away when he watching this absolute time magic happening in front of him.

Okay so, this cookie was already annoying and now she was...creepy?? What was even happening? He didn't want to cause a scene as it would blow his cover, but he was very close to calling for a servant or two. Bat-Cat and Schwartzwalder couldn't be here so he had his own devices to depend on.]

W-what is wrong with you? What do you even want??

[ephemeralflow]

What do I want? It's quite simple, really!

[As if she didn't just completely ignore that first question, because oh boy, "what's wrong with Timekeeper" is just the question of the century innit.]

You're here, now, and that's very interesting. You didn't stop here today in any other timeline, so why this one, I wonder...?

[She speaks with the tone of someone who already knows the answer to their own question.]

[glabracadabra]

[Okay it was official: Licorice Cookie was weirded out. Visibly now. That meant one or two things:

1. This cookie was a time traveler prankster.

2. The same as above but with the knowledge of his "scheme".

He felt like he was being played a long haul. And it made him very Upset. But he can't spill a word, or he'll totally blow it for Dark Enchantress Cookie.]

What the-?! Are you some kind of stalker?? L-leave me alone!

[Screw this, he couldn't afford to get caught. His butt was gonna get off this seat and try to run out the door. Abandoning his drink.]

[ephemeralflow]

[Oh, well, don't worry, Licorice!! She'll just catch up to you, then.

That is, once Licorice is outside, a rift appears in the air directly in front of him, and out she pops, leaning from the hole in reality with that same damn smile on her face.]

Why the rush? This is beneficial to you, too, you know. You'll see what I mean if you wait around for a few minutes.

[glabracadabra]

[Oh crap. Caught. Licorice Cookie was visibly sweating. Knowing well that if he reacted anymore, he would draw even more attention to himself. He bit his cookie lip and tapped his feet impatiently. Clearly, this freak of nature was very intent on following him. Would running somewhere else do it any better?

Licorice Cookie didn't want to risk this anymore than he already was.]

Look, I don't know what your deal actually is messing with me. Frankly, I don't trust you. And, you're freaking me out. But fine. Remember, I am a very busy cookie so if you actually have something beneficial to me, make it snappy!

[Said the cookie taking a break a minute ago.]

[ephemeralflow]

Oh, don't worry, it shouldn't be much longer now! You forgot this, by the way.

[And she'll just hand him his drink back. Of course, whether Licorice feels comfortable drinking something that's both had time magic used on it and briefly been pulled through a time rift is another question entirely.]

[glabracadabra]

[UNSURE IF WANNA TOUCH.

He just stared at it.]

...I'm not thirsty anymore.

[ephemeralflow]

Really? That's too bad.

[Aaaaand the drink vanishes once more back into... wherever Timekeeper pulled it from. Wouldn't be surprising to find it drifting in the time rifts later, honestly.

That moment, however, a distant sound rings out across the kingdom. Sounds like... an explosion? More specifically... an explosion from the direction of wherever the Cookies of Darkness are currently holing up. Well, that's worrying.]

Oh, there we go! Goodness, they're still causing trouble, aren't they? And here I thought my younger self would have caught them by now. This is timeline number six we've chased them across, you know! Hmmm, I don't really want to, but maybe I should step in... oh, well. See you later!

[Aaaaaand she's gone. Huh. Well, that happened. Now the question remains of just what the heck that explosion was.]

[glabracadabra]

[A look of shock and horror appeared on his face. More so than the off-put creeped out look he gave this cookie a moment ago. Probably still giving off when the drink reappeared and disappeared out of thin air.

Oh no.

Was THIS what she was referring to? In such a creepy manner? How odd it was that he was here and not with his teammates? Or colleagues. Not partners. Well, MAYBE Poison Mushroom Cookie and his servants Bat Cat and Choco Werehound Brute...!!

OH NO! THEM! THEM THEN.

...

AND HIS MASTER!!!!!!!!]

Um...! Uh! Weird Time Magic Cookie!! Wait, hold on!! DRAT!

[ephemeralflow]

Oh, how silly of me. I'm Timekeeper Cookie!

[Yes hello, you called her? She's behind you now.]

What do you need?

[A few cookies have stopped on the streets, talking amongst themselves and trying to see if they can tell where that noise came from. There might be smoke starting to rise in the distance.]

Vampire Cookie | Cookie Run Kingdom | ota

[grape_juice]

[While it's very common to find Vampire haunting Sparkling's bar at all hours of the night, getting incredibly sloshed on "grape juice," you can also find him... just about anywhere else in the kingdom. Probably asleep. Maybe asleep right in the way of whatever it is you're trying to do. So, how willing are you to put up with this carelessly drunk weirdo in order to finish your task?

Alternately, where did this random glass of red wine juice come from?]

Toothpaste Cookie | Cookie Run Kingdom | ota

[twinmint]

[I'd like to do some voicetesting with Toothpaste, so even though this is a dual-purpose account, consider this post just for him and not Mint, please.

Toothpaste Cookie isn't supposed to be here, of course. He's a criminal from an alternate timeline, so running into him probably means that the rest of Twizzly Gummy Cookie's gang isn't far off, getting ready for some sort of chaotic nonsense or another. Apparently they didn't learn their lesson the first time the TBD chased them off. But still, is this cookie a complete stranger that you've bumped into while he was skulking around the kingdom's alleys and back roads and surrounding territory, or is he strangely familiar?]

Timekeeper Cookie | OTA | Shows up a month late with the coffee Sparkling thought he misplaced

[ephemeralflow]

[Timekeeper Cookie? Surely, no one in the kingdom has seen a cookie like that! There isn't much reason to get involved here, after all. The one time some ruffians jumped over from a different timeline and started causing trouble, the TBD was perfectly able to rein them in without Timekeeper's help. She'd expect nothing less from Croissant Cookie!

But Twizzly Gummy Cookie's gang did leave their mark. Devices known as Time Jumpers have begun showing up in the kingdom, often in odd places. Any cookie that picks one up and fiddles with it will find that it allows them to jump forwards or backwards a few minutes in time. Be careful, though - if the settings are changed or it gets damaged, the Jumper might just fling you into another timeline entirely! Or worse, you'll find yourself stuck inside a time rift - a vast golden space filled with gigantic cogwheels and mysterious machinery.

Well? Will you play with time enough to become interesting? Or get yourself into a pickle that you'll certainly need help getting out of? Or perhaps you're already from a timeline off the beaten path, one that's become unusual and intriguing enough to warrant a personal visit?]
