The first trial didn’t go quite as planned… but the TBD has a backup plan! Watch Licorice Cookie and Dark Choco Cookie continue their journey to redemption through time itself…!
This kind of luck will not happen again for a long time. And that’s saying something after pulling Wind Archer Cookie twice AND one more Burning Spice Cookie within 24 hours of each other.
Wait, Strawberry Crepe, how did you, Licorice, and Dark Choco ended up here?!
🕰️ And where is ‘here’ exactly? Here is here and there is there, you know.
But if we make the assumptions that we both know where is ‘here,’ let’s just say they caught wind of the latest temporal anomaly and tried to investigate it themselves. The initial report in question seems to be going well, although the tall grumpy one with the sword was assigned to… let’s just say… something else entirely. You won’t see him around ‘here’ anytime soon.
I was looking over this when I skimmed up and down the patch notes, and I noticed a little possible contradiction. When does Timekeeper get Forced Regression if she’s immune to Regression overall?
Day 4/8: Ensuring that the next course of action we take would yield results on what happened regarding Shadow Milk Cookie helped contribute to our division’s creation, partially by drawing some of the most skilled Cookies across the rest of the TBD from their divisions to this one… preferably as side work. I used to be in Technology Development working on various magitech projects- sometimes dubbed “magichanical” by the Vanilla Kingdom- before being assigned towards making a dual reader that could examine multiple timelines at parallel coordinates. Granted, not a lot of the other Cookies know how to operate the parallel timeline coordinate settings, so they mostly use it to observe one timeline in two different sets of geological coordinates in the same temporal snapshot. This would help with proposals to initiate “Operation Flipside” to possibly locate clues in the past about what could have led to Dark Enchantress Cookie and Shadow Milk Cookie enacting their plans the way they did, and whether more complex schemes beyond the known Cookies of Darkness were involved.
Day 3/8: You’re the new recruits? Excellent. Look, I know this whole thing’s a bit unusual for the TBD’s onboarding process, but trust me when I say that some days will feel like they’re being held together by puff pastry, frosting, and strawberry jam… especially if you’re in my unit. Truth be told, after I sorted through some jumbled records for Coffee Candy Cookie and Pain de Campagne Cookie regarding some wizards and Moonlight Cookie, the Director expedited several days’ worth of paperwork to convert my position between the TRD and END into a standalone entity in a matter of hours. If you’re good at noticing the little things between two sets of data, you might get assigned to my division too. I’d love to have you join us.
Day 2/8: This whole situation is worse than I first anticipated since I responded to those other incidents… solely because nobody else in the END had picked up the phone. But then we’ve got you. Between our abilities with technology and your tactical skills, we should be able to mop up what Shadow Milk Cookie’s cooking before lunch. It’ll be like another day in Parfaedia Academy all over again…!
Okay but for real, I kinda needed that time to ease back into CRK before committing to any real news.
For the TBD, I’m gonna dial in on this one to bring it all in, maybe even speed-run the Beast-Yeast campaign unless it hits you with the 1.5M power gate
And the Addendum. That’s still on basic framework planning, but Kingdom and the new campaigns are planned to receive more priority. Everything’s going somewhere. And as Timekeeper says:
Day 1/8: Commissions aren’t easy, nor do they come often. Consider this your onboarding for now, but we’ve got some more optional backwork on the other side if you’re interested in joining us. You’ll be audited once the trial period ends, but you’ll be compensated accordingly during this time, lasting 8 days. We’ll meet again soon enough with more details on our next joint mission!
For the convenience of our news subscribers & board members from May to August 2026.

4/28 - Trial Report for Licorice Cookie, Dark Cacao Kingdom HUNTR/X Concert
The trial period is almost over. While I have seen your work with professionally discreet conduct firsthand in covering the HUNTR/X concert, there was one glaring problem in your reporting: You forgot to ensure that you had a proper wireless connection. But since that time is coming to an end, I’m making an executive decision as your supervisor and the head of the Dark Cacao Forward Outpost. Your record of the coverage will be marked as N/A with reason of outside demonic interference, but the afterparty is still ongoing. I’ll cover the difference in a revised version of the after-action report, last invoked during the last examination of the Yogurca Files three years ago. Interviews and field reports on all three HUNTR/X Cookies will be handled by Strawberry Crepe Cookie as part of Project Addendum. Consider this a practice round and a forgiven experience, you will not receive another for the remainder of your probation period. A second trial will be conducted at a later date, but consider your trial under potential supervision from another observing party.

4/28 - Trial Report for Dark Choco Cookie - Early Platter Events
Based on the data received from Licorice Cookie’s trial period, you will cover thirty days of news in Platter Plaza alongside Strawberry Crepe Cookie. As events there are still relatively new, your approach to this can be as free-form as you wish. Just remember to ensure that you’re recording and reporting on the action there, and you’ll be fine! Reports gathered may be aggregated for Project Addendum.

5/6 - After-Action Reports: For the Future
Due to the confusion that arose during the HUNTR/X concert in the Dark Cacao Kingdom, there will be no after-action report as was once suggested earlier. However, a similar report will be drafted up for the next set of events regarding the publicity of the Time Balance Department based on a template recovered from the sole report in 2023 regarding the events surrounding Centipede Cookie and Peppercorn Cookie. That report will be filed under a separate portfolio which me and the TBD are dubbing “The Yogurca Files” and tagged as such.
