The Cream Republic is studying the souls jams of three of the ancient cookies—and of course one of those ancient heroes is Dark Cacao Cookie.

Dark Cacao Cookie is known for his strength, his resolution and determination.. But also for his closed mind. No one could convince that cookie to do what he doesn't want to, no matter what. The ancient hero almost killed Clotted Cream on the spot as soon as he heard his suggestion.

But luckily, Hollyberry Cookie was there to shield the attack, and Pure Vanilla Cookie to calm down the beast they call a hero. Such old beliefs.. No wonder he's called old man from time to time.. And maybe because he's immortal and about a thousand years old.

But once the deals were made and they convinced Dark Cacao to give their soul jam to the labs. But he was still so pissed about it.. So Hollyberry—along with a very doubtful Pure Vanilla—decided to bring Dark Cacao to the inn in the Vanilla kingdom to let loose a little. Pure Vanilla did not agree very much.. He knows Dark Cacao has a very low alcohol tolerance and it could go wrong in many ways. But Hollyberry insisted so much he gave in.

They dragged the grumpy king to the bar, they sat together and started chatting while drinking. It was really fun.. at first—Till Hollyberry suggested a drinking challenge between the three of them.

Pure Vanilla immediately refused—there has to be the sober one anyway—and Hollyberry managed to get the competitive side of Dark Cacao to agree. *And just a few minutes—and lots of drinks—Dark Cacao lost to a whooping 10 drinks. Hollyberry is a drinking machine without even trying.. And Dark Cacao is extremely lightweight.

"Ha hah! This was so fun! We haven't been able to enjoy se games together since we were little!" Hollyberry exclaimed, hooking an arm around the very obviously shitfaced Dark Cacao. She was tipsy herself, but she's always cheerful anyway.

What Hollyberry didn't notice in her excitement is the real state Dark Cacao is.. "Hollyberry.. It's better we go back to our chambers back at the castle.." Pure Vanilla chimed in, eyebrows furrowed in worry. He knew the king was beyond drunk, and it's better to tuck him into bed before something bad happens.

"C'mon, Vanilla. Relax a little, will you? He's perfectly fine!" Hollyberry barked out in a laugh, patting the dark King's back a bit too hard. She was definitely just denying it.. But as soon as she actually stopped to take a look at the King's state.. He was pissed, beyond pissed.

"Oh.. Yea.. Let's go back." Hollyberry muttered, face scrunching up at the sight. She's definitely not used to seeing Dark Cacao such a.. Mess? She doesn't even know anymore.

"Told you." Pure Vanilla said before standing up. He can be snarky too.
