Work Text:
Shadow Milk was informed of a new app on his little Jelly-Phone (reference to I-Phone), hearing the notification ding, he raised his finger and clicked on the icon, A drawn cookie face with a heart on the top right. 'Ew, is this some sort of.. dating app or something?' Shadow Milk whispered.
The app opened, there was a text saying 'Cookie Chat' on top left, and he had.. contacts. It wasn't long till he connected the dots, afterall, he was THE Fount Of Knowledge. Deciding to write his thoughts down, he randomly clicked one of his contacts, and started writing.
"CookieChat, huh... Such a pedestrian, boring name. A huge flop in the making, I see."
"But... on the other hand... It seems to me the perfect tool for spreading misinformation and lies."
"Perhaps, the fools will prefer instant rush of joy on their fingertips to more... sophisticated works of art, mm?" He wrote down as if it's his own personal thought bubble. Yet a ding made his jump as he realised he was texting someone, "You're... Shadow Milk Cookie?"
'Oh, who.. could THIS be?' He laughed to himself, deciding to answer the question he wrote another line of text once more
"Ah, 'tis I, a humble clown, yet an illustrious playwright!"
"SHADOW"
"MILK"
"COOKIE"
Not long after he sent the last word his phone dinged with a reply, this time he was fully expecting it.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Sprinkle Cream Cookie!", from the little string of words he already knew what kind of cookie he was talking to. Naive.. Too trusting.. too innocent.. A perfect marrionette to the beast of deceit.
"Well hello! You look like someone I haven't met yet?"
"Yes, yes... How nice... Exactly the Cookie I need! Say, do you like juicy rumors?" Before they could answer, he kept going
"Heh. Don't you just wish to know what role I have prepared for you on my grand stage of Deceit...?"
"You know, I'll keep an eye on you while I'm working on regaining the full extent of my beastial power."
Shadow Milk laughed to himself reading the reply, 'So confused, so.. stupid! LOL'. Letting the conversation end, he left the chat. Seeing the small plus sign on the bottom right intrigued him. As he experimented with the choices, he soon realised that he could make a group chat.. a group chat for him and the rest of the beasts! His... friends. Without further ado, he clicked away.
As he finished setting up the group chat, he texted the group chat.
"My dearest friends!"
"My allies.."
"My comrades.."
"THE BEASTS!"
Without long he received an answer.
"It's... you" ~🌶
"Shut up already!" ~🌶
"I WOULD'VE DESTROYED THIS COOKIE CHAT THING, IF I COULD, JUST SO I WOULDN'T NEED TO TALK TO YOU!!!" ~🌶
"Hehe, all that pent up destruction!" He typed out, "Haven't gotten any exciting stuff, huh?"
"Shadow Milk Cookie." ~🍬
"Genuinely, what is it?" ~🍬
"I'm wasting precious time here..!" ~🍬
"Time that i could..." ~🍬
"Time that i could use to talk to my dearest other half, Hollyberry Cookie!~ ♡" ~🍬
"😍" ~🍬
"I don't understand the need to be irritated by some pixels." ~🥟
"Shadow Milk isn't in the room with us, so whenever he sends another text to us we could just simply..." ~🥟
"Ignore it." ~🥟
"If i'm correct it's called 'ghosting'" ~🥟
"For once i agree with one of you." ~🧂
"We could just ghost Shadow Milk Cookie." ~🧂
"At least someone here understands." ~🥟
"Hah! This ghost thing is already interesting." ~🌶
"Yes.. perhaps i too should join in." ~🍬
"Hehe, have you not realized we ghosted eachother already?", "I remember it.. When i and all of us just corrupted!", Shadow Milk giggled, tho a slight upset was in his voice, "We dissasociated with eachother to focus on corrupting innocent cookies from each of our dominion!", "With Cookie chat no matter how far, no matter where, or when, we can talk to eachother for hours on end...!"
He waited for a minute, then two. That doesn't seem to long, but with how fast they had answered him last time it was quick. He started to typed once more, "Everyone?"...realisation dawned on him, 'They weren't joking'
