HOW DOES A JESTER DREAM ?

[jellywalker-apocalypse]

"When YOUR kingdom is the only truly safe haven in all of Earthbread — how could you POSSIBLY know that your OH-SO-DEAR FRIENDS are PERFECTLY SAFE AND SOUND?! That's right, Vanilly!~ YOU CAN'T. So allow yours truly to demonstrate some possible ... Outcomes of what may be happening as we speak!"

After a while ... You end up putting something together.

All the info you should know. Or need to know, in some cases.

Having this knowledge at your disposal, it's a good thing. For yourself and others.

Though sometimes ...

You wish you'd stay oblivious.

Golden cheese cookie, is everything alright my radiance? I can't help but feel the need to apologize on the behalf of the unruly undead, as they can realize you're magnificence and the pain they cause for cookie kind. Perhaps if they weren't in such a state they could appreciate your kingdom.

I truly believe that you're greed will one day shine bright enough to rid everyone of these hordes.

"Why yes, of course — My kingdom ..."

"... It's -"

"Those intruders. Those 'jellywalkers'. They're ..."

"... They're nothing but a mere block in the road! And far too braindead to even fathom appreciating a cookie such as myself..."

"In due time, they'll all be totally eradicated from the streets of my glorious kingdom! After all, since when have I not been able to overcome some small ... Inconveniences?"

"You, all alone - ..."

"How long can you keep this up? EVERYTHING crumbles with time."

"And I think... You're running short of it!"

This was a pretty big.... failure on your part. I mean, clearly and obviously. Though that does leave the question of what you were actually trying to accomplish. Clearly, the risk was not worth it. Nothing is worth.... This. So.... what were you doing that made you think otherwise?

"It was a bright, pink-colored jam. From various tests, it produced multiple results. Some bad, some good ...

We wanted to see if anything it did could be beneficial to cookies. Like improving their overall health, or maybe using it as a guard to block other illnesses. It was a simple project, really.

... However, there was always one major flaw; we didn't have any safety net if things were to go terribly wrong. It- ... Where the jam came from, we lacked enough information to create a net in the first place.

We, of course, were aware of the dangers of that fact and continued on anyway.

And yet ...

We ...

Such a small amount, to cause this level of damage...

... I didn't know it would be capable of derailing like this.

…

I suppose we - I ... didn't know. Exactly how much I was risking."
