Fiance is asleep and I can't sleep, time to dump self insert cookie thoughts on the internet.
Idk if I'll ever write fic about either of these two but I've got two self inserts for this stupid game now.
Persimmon Cookie and Snowball Cookie
Persimmon is a human who was isekaied into the universe. 200% gremlin most of the time. Meets Espresso and starts asking him questions about cookie stuff because he's smart. Hangs around the lab so much she remembers and can replicate his coffee. Hears him bitching about having to stop and make coffee because no one else makes it right. Starts doing it herself and slipping him new cups to see if he notices.
It takes him two days to realize and he only notices because she fell asleep.
She gets hired as an intern after that explicitly to make the coffee. Where she basically starts watching out for him and getting him to sleep. How? With evidence.
"You see, sir, if you've been up for too long you start to make mistakes. I call this your terminal sleep point. Past that you tend to make more errors. Here's my observations written out in graph and thesis form..."
It irritates the hell out of him but the scientific approach works.
Idk how they get to romance yet. Right now shes just trying to keep him from working himself to death.
Snowball Cookie, meanwhile, is a Lower Republic activist in the Creme Republic. She's the archivist at the Lower City Library and does community outreach.
Her parents were Seafoam Cookie and Pecan Sandie Cookie. Pecan Sandie was originally a member of House Sable who left to marry a girl from the Lower Republic. Together, they established the Library which has been left to her.
House Sable either doesn't know she exists or simply does not acknowledge her existence. The Elder of the house is technically her aunt.
Her interactions with Clotted Cream almost always arise over policies that the Republic is putting in place that may harm the citizens of the Lower Republic. She's livid that there are only two Cookies of the Sea in the convocation of elders and that so little is doen to help the poor of the city.
Basically, she's that person following Clotted Cream around with petitions and paper work demanding to speak to him about whatever new bullshit is being passed.
They actually have a fairly good rapport but due to some interference from some of the Elders Snowball Cookie hasn't been able to present information about how recent legal choices would damage the Lower Republic.
So shes fuckin pissed and ready to fight. Clotted Cream sends Financier Cookie into the meeting in his stead and takes time to talk with Snowball Cookie about her concerns.
She has a hard time trusting government and authority and sees him as one step away from being a threat most of the time, no matter how nice he may seem.
She's going to make him see how life is in the Lower Republic by having him visit her library.
Idk how romance is happening with them yet either but I enjoy their dynamic. Clotted Cream is trying very hard to make her understand that he's not going to pull some bullshit on her regarding her library.
So yeah *jazz hands*. I fall into cookies and end up with two of these morons.
