━━━━ ━ (Chili Pepper x Rye!) READ DESC!
Gosh, that Hot Air Balloon ride was EXHAUSTING!- Gingerbrave and company were annoying as fuck. She didn't even get her hands on any shining objects! Well, she swore she saw something sparkly 'n eye-catching, but was dragged away by Gingerbrave as Strawberry frantically tried catching up. In other words, Custard III was getting flown away on a kite and the rest were chasing him, Wizard even tried striking it down with lightning! Tho' the kite wasn't that high in air, but quite fast..... Atleast she's back to the kingdom now . She was lazily sitting on an armchair,, however, her eyes still sharp for any jewels and coins lying around in the open. Wizard was practicing a new recipe in the laboratory's main desk.. What can I say-? The Sugar Gnomes were too busy..
He was trying to make production faster.. Chili Pepper didn't get it, it was fast enough ! But never as fast as her- She called out, "Pointy hat!" before leaving.. Just her way of saying she's going. Wizard: "Don't kill someone.." He muttered , his tone sounding a bit irritated but he was still focused on the map. Chili Pepper snickered at that from the outside. -She was greeted by Custard III. Hm, that 'royal' kiddo, she'd never admit she's grown attached to him..
Chili Pepper: "Custard! Got any shiny coins?"
He huffed, Custard III: "It's Custard the THIRD.. Don't you forget! But heyy ol' subject, there's probably sum treasures in the mailbox, 'heard something's arrived. 'Can't reach, could you open it for meee!"
And then he pouted, while Chili Pepper raised her eyebrow ── before shrugging.
Chili Pepper: "If you say so.." ━━━━ ━ She approached the (rather secluded) Cookie House near to the Creamer Pond, .. Only If that toy duck was made of gold, would've gotten snatched by her the moment it arrived!
Her hands (easily) slid through the opening.. She was greeted by a letter (how disappointing, could've been gems or cubes!). And it was for... her?..
Before she knew it, she heard gunshots, which missed on purpose for emphasis. This felt familiar.. It was none other than some wacky wholegrain-caliber guns who fired two hot shots, the owner a past victim of hers.. Rye. And to add in two cents, the sun was setting, aka noon, the time when Rye strikes.. Chili Pepper was 'suprised' she didn't bring dust and a rolling barrel along with her to make a scene.
Rye: "Oi! You! Spice Cookie! Yanno Chili Pepper, yer lucky the bridge collapsed, and that the hoe warned us. But luck can only last so long , especially in the grasp of someone.. Well the clover's in my hands now, so be prepared!"
She pinned the thief the rough bricks of the alleyway's wall, full of countless graffiti.
Rye: '"Expected ya to be in your prison costume, but your greed everlasts, careless Cookie.. lest you broke out."
The other scoffed. Chili Pepper: "All for some rye.. You're as stubborn as ever..." She uttered in a rather taunting tone, Rye hated THAT.
Fine, they were playing the cat-mouse game. But Rye was sooo persistent for a reason! 'Em treasures were rightfully HERS! Chill Pepper dragged 'er daggers across Rye's poncho, startling the latter. Tch, this bitch.. Atleast it wasn't skin, she didn't want scarlet liquid dripping down, pathetic!
Taking advantage of Rye's figure frozen (similar to a deer upon carlights, funny..), Chili Pepper escaped from her grip.
Rye sighed─ This wasn't working.. What could she do? Offer her Rye juice (again)? Nice try, surely the bandit wasn't an alcoholic. Okay.. Maybe just, have a civil conversation, yea.... It'd be hard with her attitude, but 'ey, atleast she wasn't a big ole softie!
Rye: "Hey, uh.. Red hair!"
Chili Pepper: "What? Ya done yet?" Y'know, for a wanted criminal, she wasn't THAT bad... Rye, what are you thinking?! Rye: "Why'd you.. Er.. steal rye from me?"
Chili Pepper: "Simple, it looked shiny."
Rye sighed, before pointing her guns up again. Rye: "Why'd you steal it from me!"
