~~OBSSESION~~ {BOOK 1} (Shadow Milk Cookie x reader)

Chapter 10

From the darkness emerged an unfamiliar Cookie, their silhouette framed by the flickering glow of arcane symbols. They adjusted a sleek headset, their coat lined with gleaming sapphires, giving the air of a seasoned broadcaster.

Black Sapphire Cookie: "Oh, I didn't know we had an audience! Greetings... greetings! It's great to be here. We've got a fantastic show lined up for you tonight. But first, allow me to refresh your memory of the mystical events of the story so far!"

They stepped forward, arms sweeping dramatically.

Black Sapphire Cookie: "The great Shadow Milk Cookie, archmaster of deception, played a genius stroke by leading our reckless foes right into his trap within the Spire. And surprise, surprise—tonight, we've invited these foolish Cookies—and a special one—to be the guests of our show! But all in due time, of course. We have so much to cover before we get to the main dish! Test, test—ah, looks like the mic is on. Tonight, I will be your host, the writer, the reporter, and the entertainer! I really should ask for a raise."

They chuckled, then turned dramatically to the unseen audience.

Black Sapphire Cookie: "Indeed, the illustrious Master of the Spire has returned! Let's show Shadow Milk Cookie our love with a round of applause. His plan is already in motion, spreading across Earthbread as we speak. Shall we take a closer look at the dramatic events unfolding across Crisia at this very moment? Oh dear me, I almost forgot to introduce myself! Black Sapphire Cookie, at your service! And now, I invite you to sit back, relax, and forget about the boring notions of truth and some such. Instead, join me tonight on our fantastical, magical journey!"

Candy Apple cookie: whoever are you talking to black sapphire cookie are they in the same room with us right now Huh heh

Meanwhile, in a sparkling studio, the lively and ever-charming Pop Star Parfait Cookie adjusted her microphone as the live broadcast began.

Parfait Cookie: "Is this thing on? Anyway, paru paru par! If you're just tuning in—haa—I'm going to sing my brand-new single for you all! I worked so hard on—huh? Say what?"

She blinked in confusion as a flood of comments filled her screen:

"Your new song? What a joke! Parfait Cookie is a fraud! She hasn't written a single song in her life!"

"Yeah, I heard she stole all her songs from someone called 'Bingsu Cookie'!"

"Her music used to be so unique, but now every song feels like it's written by a completely different Cookie. Maybe that's what happens when you steal others' work."

Parfait Cookie's breath hitched, eyes wide with horror.

Parfait Cookie: "Oh, but I just wanted to try out new styles and themes...! I thought you all enjoyed seeing different sides of my work...!"

A message stood out amongst the rest.

Anonymous Cookie: "Well, why don't you just prove that it was you who wrote them? It's rather simple, really!"

Parfait Cookie: "But—how can I? I write all my songs! It's true! Please, believe me! Bingsu Cookie, if you're watching this, please reach out to me! If you have grievances, you can always talk to me instead of spreading weird rumors..."

Anonymous Cookie: "Ooooh, why are we so angry now? Not sure if you understand, but Bingsu Cookie is the victim here. And uh, what do you hope to achieve by talking to them? Guess you could try to silence them one way or another!"
