A large Jaw breaker roles in
@thewanderingpaladin
(idk if this literally is js a ball but I’ll work with it hehe :3)
First instinct, KICK IT! Gingerbrave runs towards the jawbreaker, not even caring of the potential consequences.
“GINGERBRAVE DON’T YOU DARE!”
Wizard warned, running after him to try and freeze him in his tracks. Strawberry watched them run forward, ready to watch her brother get yet another injury.
“AHAHAHA!”
The Jawbreaker, despite looking like a normal ball somehow quickly moves out of the way. Just then a gruff voice comes from it. "You really should think more before you act lad."
It then starts to transform, uncurling from a ball to a cookie.
"Ya might have crumbled your foot if I didn't move."
”Told you.”
Wizard hit him from behind with his staff.
“HEY!!”
Gingerbrave yelped, rubbing his bum after the contact.
“Dude, seriously…”
He grumbled, glaring at the mage as he chuckled. Strawberry carefully moved closer to the three, a bit confused.
The unknown cookie chuckles.
"You three remind me of my time traveling with my brother and his wife when we were young. So why are you three out here anyways?"
”That’s a weird connection- OOF!”
Gingerbrave was shut down by an elbow to his side.
“We just finished hunting and are heading back to our cabin.”
Wizard politely answers, glaring at Gingerbrave.
“Bruh, I’m getting abused today…”
He growled. Strawberry runs up and pushes him a bit, he cackled and started chasing her around.
“Get back here you little skank!!”
He yelled, trying to grab her. Wizard tutted his lips, he barely knows what the insults he gives needs.
"Hunting? For what exactly?" The unknown cookie asks.
”Witches!”
Gingerbrave blurted out with pride. Wizard pressed is palm on his forehead. Strawberry nodded along with him— and oop he caught her.
He hauled her over his shoulder to get back to the group.
The unknown cookie looks at them with wide eyes. "kids, what are your names?"
"Oh, I'm Gingerbrave, this is Strawberry Cookie!"
He introduced himself, grinning as he out her down onto the ground.
"And I, Wizard Cookie."
The mage added, politely bowing.
"First, I am Jawbreaker Cookie, nice to meet you. And second," he says before hitting all 3 with his real hand on the head. "ARE YOU THREE INSANE?!"
"Yes, he is."
Wizard calmly said, pointing at Gingerbrave. Strawberry flopped over, barely hitting the ground before recuperating. She was so frail and thin, yet she seems pretty capable. Besides the obvious injuries.
Gingerbrave nodded with pride before realizing what he implied,
"Hey- Wait a minute!!"
Jawbreaker Cookie face palms, "You kids are hopeless... Do you understand what you are doing and who might come for you?"
"Who? The witch's can't do nuthin!"
He cackled, leaning on his spear. Wizard glanced over at him,
"Yes, we know what we're doing, we've been doing this for about two years."
He calmly stated. The other two's jaws dropped,
"WAITWAITWAIT- TWO YEARS!? HOW ARE THERE STILL SO MANY!?"
Gingerbrave exclaimed in shock, Strawberry aggressively nodded as well. Wizard shrugged.
Jawbreaker Cookie shakes his head, "Are you aware that the witches have a cult of sorts following them?
Wizard looked away awkwardly, a bit annoyed as well.
“Hmm a cult, you say?”
Gingerbrave slowly turned to look at Wizard, Strawberry leaned to look at him as well.
“IT’S NOT A CULT! I AM RELIGIOUS!”
He screeched. Strawberry gave him an “Uh-huh” look.
Jawbreaker snaps his fingers, "Hey, Hey! No going off topic. This is serious."
”Suuuure, serious.”
Gingerbrave chuckled, rolling his eyes.
“Anyways, continue.”
Wizard quickly diverted the subject back to what Jawbreaker was talking about.
"If you don't stop, or at least prepare, you will be crumbled by them..." He says before pausing. "Or worse, be targeted by my brother."
”Oh, now what’s your brother gonna do, huh?”
Gingerbrave mocked, swinging his spear cheerfully. Wizard sighed,
“He’s warning us, let’s at least be considerate of it?”
Strawberry nodded in agreement.
Jawbreaker nods, "Gingerbrave, do you know of cookies that crumbled without a drop of Jam in them?"
"Huuhh? No."
He flipped his hand in dismission, rolling his eyes.
"That's literally impossible!"
He added in disbelief.
"Maybe, let him explain?"
Wizard suggested sarcastically.
Jawbreaker scolds them, "Well it is. My brother, the assassin Bloody Orange Jam cookie, has a cursed dagger that can drain the vital liquids from its victims. May it be by a cut or by being stabbed."
He says as he takes out a wanted poster.
On it is this picture.
"He is called The Beast of Revenge by those who survive encouraging him."
"Soooo, he can kill you by draining your jam?"
Wizard asked with sudden interest. Gingerbrave was not impressed,
"Why would he come for us anyways!"
He asked with a chuckled,
"And how do we know this isn't some spooky bedtime story?~"
He mocked as well, placing his hands on his hips and leaning forward. Strawberry glanced up at him, brows furrowed in contemplation.
Jawbreaker Cookie hits Gingerbrave on the head, "He would come after you for revenge obviously." He then straightens up. "My brother's totally insane since he lost his family in a raid of our old village. He went on a quest for revenge on cookies he doesn't even know what they look like and would target anyone with blood on their hands. Including witches blood."
"Ohh.. I don't get it."
Now it was Wizard's turn to hit his head. He winced, glaring at the both of them,
"What's up with you guys and hitting me?"
Jawbreaker Cookie only says, "He will hunt you down for hunting witches."
