⠀⠀[ .. wobbling closer , they make a proper assessment of the young one ]

⠀⠀turns out , death isn't the end of it all .. heh . world's full of surprises .

⠀⠀used to be .. kinda like you .ᐣ y— yeah . kinda .
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀.. oh , and i thought 𝘪 had plenty questions .. whatever you do in life , kid , try not to end like me .

⠀⠀[ only now do they take notice of how young this other witch is . it immediately makes her ease up her attitude .. ]

[ They seemed rather young… an apprentice like her, perhaps. ]

"How did you get into a strange form? How does it feel to move around? So many questions."

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀i .. should ask the same . are you a witch .ᐣ i— i mean , that's a pretty pointless question .. but still .ᐟ
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀⠀[ .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟjeeesus fucking christ . that scared the shit out of the poor dough ]

⠀⠀d— don't you know not to scare someone like that .ᐣ.ᐟ.ᐟ almost gave me a heart attack .ᐟ.ᐟ

⠀⠀[ though her fright is quickly forgotten at the sight of the witch .. ]

[✧ 𝓜ᴀ𝐞𝐠𝐢ᴀ .✦ ݁˖ 🗝️ྀི @magiaestmihi]

[ What a curious sound… Hmmm. The source of that strange witch hat turns to the glob of dough. What in the world?… ]

[ Not even bothering to approach quietly. Jumping straight in from of the dough. ]

"Now what are YOU?"

⠀⠀[ the dough has been tracking down these spontaneous surges of magic to the best of her capacity . which wasn't much in this form ]

⠀⠀[ blissfully unaware of any nearby presences , her wandering continues around the area . doughs don't have good eyesight apparently ]
⠀

[✧ 𝓜ᴀ𝐞𝐠𝐢ᴀ .✦ ݁˖ 🗝️ྀི @magiaestmihi]

[ That sudden surge of magic days ago has yet to leave the apprentice’s mind, even if it only lasted for a mere moment. ]

[ On their way to where that strange aura came from…?! Was that the hat of a fellow witch?! ]

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀[ shifting around , they turn to look around at the mess of things . reminds her of her teacher's own studio .. ]

⠀⠀but .. does anyone else live here , miss first berry .ᐣ
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀[ .. okay , perhaps this form is a bit inconvenient .. but she does try her best to reciprocate ]

⠀⠀.. well , maybe the future can be brighter . this is a different world .. don't think cookies share the same beliefs “ regular people ” do .

* she did her best to hug the blob of dough. it was... truly quite difficult.
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀like .. a second chance of sorts .ᐟ to try again. with less mistakes ..

⠀⠀my teacher often said the whole point of magic was to create a world where everyone could thrive one way or another ..

⠀↪

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀it kinda sucks , really . it's in the human nature to try to find a scapegoat .. something to , like , put the blame on ..

⠀⠀[ she wraps part of her dough around her hand , giving a reassuring squeeze ]

⠀⠀but witches exist to be different .. don't we .ᐣ
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀[ she listened in complete silence , as if it were a lecture for her to take note . before hopping onto her lap ]

⠀⠀i .. i think it's a good thing . wanting to remember and change .. helps you avoid repeating the same mistakes , y'know .ᐣ

⠀↪

[𓏲. ϝαႦυlα Ⴆαcαɾυɱ @B3RRYSDELIGHT]

⠀
* eyes glazing with tears rose, and she smiled.

... i promised to never forget those i've lost, for they had their lives ended because of me.

it may take us a bit, but i promise you, dear. we will rediscover your memories together.
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀though .. it doesn't sound like it was your fault , miss first berry .

⠀⠀my teacher .. and the other apprentices . we , too , were chased off . i— i think that's how i died . hunted down .

⠀⠀.. people just do that no matter how good or bad you are .

⠀↪

[ً @holyaches]

i want divine hands to save me. i yearn for something beyond flesh.

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀i— i'm unsure as to how or why i came back as this rather than staying dead . but i did ..

⠀⠀how did you manage to gain a cookie form , miss .. first berry .ᐣ

⠀⠀[ the question is sincere . there is nothing but genuine confusion and curiosity in her speech ]
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀[ the touch made them regain some semblance of solidity , gathering themselves ]

⠀⠀.. can you do that .ᐣ i .. wasn't strong enough to come back as a cookie ..

⠀⠀i used to be an apprentice . disciple . whichever fits best .. never got to complete my studies .

⠀↪

[𓏲. ϝαႦυlα Ⴆαcαɾυɱ @B3RRYSDELIGHT]

⠀
every memory, every person, those that i swore not to forget, all of it.

* she kneeled down, a tender touch being placed upon the dough.

don't you fret, i will help you with remembering everything. how does that sound?
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀n— nono .ᐟ how can i say that .. 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 .. of course you'll remember , right ..

⠀⠀.. 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 .

⠀⠀[ their form shrinks upon itself . that explains the memory gaps .. and a lot of things too ]
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀..... a former witch .

⠀⠀[ they repeat with what sounds like disbelief and relief alike .. so not all witches were gone ]

⠀⠀maybe you knew my teacher .ᐟ their name .. their name was .. er . oh .

⠀⠀.. i can't recall anyone's names .

⠀↪

[𓏲. ϝαႦυlα Ⴆαcαɾυɱ @B3RRYSDELIGHT]

⠀
you have quite the keen eye... i was formerly a witch. you may call me first berry cookie, if you wish.

here at the berrygalia house, we treasure memories.

* she turned to the mess of the room, a smile on her face.

each object here has it's own story behind them!
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀[ the realization just now dawns upon the poor dough , who immediately melts into a frankly pathetic puddle ]

⠀⠀i can't even remember that .ᐟ just .. how can i forget something like that .ᐣ.ᐟ

⠀⠀did you forget too .. when turning into , y'know .. a cookie .ᐣ

⠀↪

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀i felt something familiar .. and decided to come in . really sorry .ᐟ

⠀⠀[ the question of her identity goes promptly unanswered .. not like she has any name to give in response ]

⠀⠀.. er . by familiar i mean a witches' magic .
⠀

[˖ @ofthedough]

⠀
⠀⠀[ she had watched the cookie from afar .. so this is berrygalia house .ᐣ good to know ]

⠀⠀[ they shyly get out from behind some of the things , body stretching in something akin to a wave ]

⠀⠀m— me .ᐟ i .. sorry for entering without asking ..

⠀↪

[𓏲. ϝαႦυlα Ⴆαcαɾυɱ @B3RRYSDELIGHT]

⠀
* she closed her eyes, hugging onto it, before she felt something. a being approaching.

* her eyes turned to the entrance of the room, her head tilting.

... and who may this new guest to the berrygalia house be?

* she called out.
