Yaya's Cookies, and how it affects Spirits - Boboiboy AU
___________________________
A spirit's job is no easy task, or that's how it is nowadays since civilization came into the picture. Keeping balance, taking care of the planet... It's hard work. But that's why the spirits aren't bound by ordinary biological rules. They can easily shrug off radiation or poisoning.
So why did Yaya's cookies affect Taufan in such an adverse way?
Granted it was made with poisoned goat milk, but her cookies have proven themselves to be quite lethal even without the milk.
There are also certain exceptions to this, but he doesn't know why a spirit like Taufan would go manic while they didn't.
The spirit of light has a hypothesis in mind, but he can't confirm it just yet with so little data. Perhaps a few interviews are in order.
Ah, what boredom does to the mind.
________________________________
The first spirit that Solar contacted was Forte, the spirit of Fortification, the youngest known spirit, and works indirectly for TAPOPS
It was also known that she likes to spar with Yaya to practice her power and skill. Yaya was fond of the little spirit too, acting like an older sister to her (despite Forte being 528, not like he can criticize them).
"Hi Elder Solar! How are you?" Forte's face appeared on the tablet, she appears to be lying on her back, she must have been playing while waiting for Veronica.
Being the youngest, she had taken to calling the Elementals 'Elder', after learning they are the oldest living spirits as of now to annoy them.
"Hello Forte. I am fine, I simply have a few questions for you regarding Yaya's cookies"
"Oh... those.." Forte's face seem to droop a little. "What about them?"
"How did you feel when you ingested them?"
"That's it? Well, it was fine at first"
"At first?" Solar asked with a raised eyebrow
"Here, I made some cookies for you Forte" Yaya said, handing the little spirit a basket of cookies.
"Really? I can have them?" Forte asked as she looked at the adorably shaped cookies.
Forte picked out one of the cookies and tried taking a bite. It's weirdly hard, the taste reminds her of the wasteland days...
"How is it? I made it with a new recipe"
"Ummm, it's not bad, could use a little more flavor"
"I see. Thank you for the feedback" Yaya nods
"Ever since then, she kept handing me cookies, but they start to taste even worse somehow... There are times of improvement but very little" She sighs. It was dreadful.
Solar can only share his condolences for Forte's fate. At least she hasn't fainted from it or become manic.
"Anyways, I have a question for you too Elder!"
"Can you help me figure out the fuel for this one piece of equipment? We're trying our best but it keeps blowing up. I can use my power so it doesn't get destroyed but everyone would rather have more permanent solution". Forte had picked up a fondness for weapons and many technologies, as they align well with her power, not so well with chemistry though.
Since he's bored. Why not?
"Send it's data over, I'll see what I can do"
"Thank you Elder! Also, Yaya decided to hand out her treats to engineers and mechanics that came to assist us a while ago. She handed a box of them to Remiel. He's an android so he should be fine. Not sure about Kanoa or Mr Esther though
"Wow. Elder Solar socializing? Oh wait, lemme guess. You're doing some kinda experiment aren't you?"
"It is just a test to pass the time" Solar simply stated the truth, he is definitely not slightly miffed about Forte poking fun at him.
"Sure sure whatever helps you sleep at night. Wait you even sleep-"
It wasn't nothing Solar couldn't handle. He quickly found a way around the "spontaneous combustion".
_______________________________
"Hello Solar. How may I help you?" A polite voice had picked up the call. He knows who it is.
"Hello Remiel. I heard Yaya gave you a box of cookies"
Remiel, an android made by a spirit. Solar's quite curious about his functions. For a creation from 50000 years ago, his functions are quite advanced and mysterious.
Raziel knew what she was doing
"Yes. It was kind of her. I assume this isn't the only reason you called?"
"Correct. I am currently studying the reason why we spirits can't seem to handle them" He doesn't have that many options to be honest. Only 11 spirits are confirmed to exist. His brothers liked to keep in touch with the other spirits and Solar himself really had no complaints.
"If it's the results you are looking for... Kanoa is currently curled up in bed. She is recovering. Briar also had some, but he is alright from what I've observed"
________________________________
"Greetings, Solar" A voice rang out in his mind before he could contact the next spirit he knows.
"Greetings to you too, Neira" Or Oneira if he goes by the name her master gave her. Although she initially introduced herself as the spirit of Dreams, her true identity is the Spirit of Sentience. As such, it allows her to tamper with the senses.
One of which being one-way telepathy.
Solar pressed call, and Neira's face showed up on the screen, smiling.
"I assume you had an experience with Yaya's confectioneries?"
"It's not exactly me per say, but I experience it through Nisha"
Nisha stared at the adorable box of cookies Yaya had made, then at Yaya and Ying.
One's face was almost as bright as the sun in anticipation, the other looked at her with pity. Nisha knows why. She had heard rumors of the dreaded treats.
But she can't simply say no, not when the pink hijabi girl made it out of such good will. She can only hope it tastes good.
So she goes ahead and took a bite.
Shakily, she gives them an "Okay" hand signal.
"Of course, Nisha wasn't actually okay. It absolutely decimated her taste buds in a bad way, and I had to numb her tongue. Then she suffered from a stomachache later" Neira sighs.
"I... see" Solar sweatdropped. Nisha was still in medical care, rehabilitating her movement. 64 years in a cryopod can do that to a person.
"Before you end the call. I have something to tell you as a spirit that's very experienced with the senses"

'With some input from Neira, the spirit of Sentience. I've confirmed my suspicion. We were simply vulnerable to the taste of the cookies, not the actual ingredients itself. It's both quite the relief and cause for concern'
