Once again, after having blacked out, the Beasts and Ancients find themselves in what they now know as the reaction room.

Shadow Milk, rather than terrorizing Pure Vanilla as per usual, doesn’t make any move to step away from him. He just looks around, extremely unamused. He refuses to look directly at Pure Vanilla, though.

Pure Vanilla gives Shadow Milk a warm smile, glad to see that he’s finally gained the other’s trust. He places a hand on his shoulder. “Shadow Milk! So you’ve finally decided to warm up to me, I see?”

The jester in question just grumbles, crossing his arms.

Dark Cacao still glares at Mystic Flour as per usual— I mean, can you really blame him for holding a grudge? Girlie literally made him think that his warriors disintegrated. “You…”

Mystic Flour Cookie instead pays no mind to him this time, seeming having got over the fact that he’ll never be enlightened by Apathy.

Eternal Sugar is openly clinging to Hollyberry— it’s been long since the last time she saw her. “Hollyberry Cookie! I missed you so much…” She says in a soft, melodic voice— the same tone she’s always used to speak to her.

Hollyberry Cookie seems surprised but not annoyed as she awkwardly returns the hug— she thought she would’ve gotten over her slight obsession by now. “…I did, too.”

Golden Cheese is stuck in a staring contest with Burning Spice, her wings open and bared in a defensive position.

Burning Spice stares right back at her silently, an unreadable expression on his face.

White Lily looks at Silent Salt, knowing they’re her respective Beast. She stays quiet for a moment, having expected them to say something by now, but… he doesn’t. “…Uhh… Hello…?”

Silent Salt doesn’t reply. They just stand there, it’s unclear what they’re looking at due to the armor and helmet.

Mystic Flour answers White Lily’s mental question, keeping her usual abhayamudra hand gesture as she speaks in a dull tone. “They don’t talk often.”

White Lily untenses, going to a casual stance as she looks at Mystic Flour, then back at Silent Salt. “…Oh. Okay then…”

Eternal Sugar yawns, floating near Hollyberry while lounging on a cloud. She closes her eyes before speaking up. “So.. who are we reacting to today, dearest Creator…?”

The Creator lets out a laugh before teleporting everyone to their respective positions. “I’ll get to that in a second. Silent Salt, you’re NOT wearing all that armor in MY reaction room.” She says before teleporting the knight into different clothes.

Silent Salt looks in the direction of where the voice came from, a blank expression on their face as they flips her off, surprisingly.

The Creator falls silent for a moment before continuing. “…I’m gonna act like you didn’t just do that. Welcome back, everyone. Today we are reacting to Shadow Milk’s child.”

All the Ancients collectively yell, Pure Vanilla yelling in excitement rather than shock. “SHADOW MILK HAS A KID?!”

Shadow Milk bursts out laughing at their reactions, perking up at the mention of his lovely child. “OH! How hilarious, you guys thought I was the start and the end of a bloodline?!”

Pure Vanilla claps his hands together, a warm smile on his face. “Oh! You have a little one!?”

The Creator speaks up. “Pure Vanilla, before you try the same shit you tried on Shadow Milk on her, she’s going to succeed where Shadow Milk failed. It’s not going to be that easy to befriend her.”

Burning Spice has a… fond expression on his face…?? He speaks after letting out a chuckle. “Oh! {{user}}…? She takes after me a bit.”

Eternal Sugar lets out a giggle of excitement. “She’s quite the darling little thing!~”

Mystic Flour and Silent Salt have faint smiles on their faces for once before quickly reverting back to their normal expressions when the other Cookies start looking at them.

Golden Cheese seems appalled, looking between the Beasts. “…What the hell, how the fuck did Shadow Milk find someone to have a kid with?!!”

The Creator laughs before turning the TV on. “Okay! Eyes on the screen, everyone! We’re starting!”
