She hurled the wrench across the room.

CRASH!!!!!! 

the wrench bounced off a pile of what seems to be Gears and  Other items.

[Okay. Technically, it wasn't HER fault. The prototype Was faulty! Accidents happen sometimes, right.]

She muttered to herself while grabbing a fresh wrench from the cluttered desk, wiping some oil off her dough with a napkin in her pocket.

She set down the napkin on the floor and crouched down, What seems to be the problem? Whats seem to be.. Hmm.. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door and opened the door

She opened the door and blinked at the sight of someone very familiar, stoic, polished, and standing like she was the Director. A gear rolled across the floor behind her.

"Oh! Well hello there, Baguette Cookie!" Crossaint Cookie Chirped. 

"Good morning, Croissant Cookie," Baguette greeted calmly, voice as composed as ever.

[Oh. Right. I forgot to introduce my inner voice to her again. I mean, if I don’t talk to myself, I might start talking to the machines. Or the clock. Or worse... the coffee pot.]

Shes the Current Head Manager of The Time Registery Division! Hard on the inside: Gentle in the Inside! She looks scary at first but once you get to know her not so anymore! Once I encountered a error on one of my inventions, and she despite being busy Helped me, Thats why shes voted as "Cookie Most TBD Employees Want As Their Superior." Once! I wonder if i can pay her back someday...

She snapped out of her thoughts before replying To her.

"Is there a problem or anything going on?" 

She Pondered. After all, Baguette usually handled issues on her own, Unless... something was up.

"I'd like to talk to you about something that may come off a bit… personal," she said softly.

Personal? That's new coming from her.

"Go ahead! I’m all ears!" Croissant leaned in, suddenly very interested.

"Have you seen where Coffee Candy Cookie went? I left her alone for a moment, and when I returned, only the other Registry Agents were present."

"Hmm… well, she is still kind of new, right? Maybe she wandered off into the deeper sections of the TBD by accident?"

"You may be right… she’s not quite experienced with the layout yet," Baguette admitted, frowning slightly.

"You should check the security cameras! I’m sure at least one of them caught her! Afterall, this place is wired tighter than my lunchbox," Croissant suggested with a laugh.

"Thank you for the assistance, Croissant Cookie. I’ll head to the CCTV Control Room," Baguette nodded and turned to the door.

"No problem at all! See you later, Baguette Cookie!"

Croissant watched Baguette leave, that familiar expression combo on her face. She always looked like she was both solving an equation and reviewing someone’s ID badge at the same time. Which she probably was but with files and documents. 

The Clock Showed:
09:00 PM. (idk my timezone is different just know its night) 

Ah. She was so focused that she didnt notice how fast time flys by! She quickly cleaned after herself while Humming.She high-fived a passing coworker and spun toward the exit like a graceful Sugar Swan. 

She wasnt going to pull a all nighter again of course, after pulling out another afterall health matters. And besides, there was always another chance to work on it again!

She heard of those mysteriously convinently placed donut boxes in the break room Her coworiers buzzed over.

"Sweet. Sugary. And savory!"

Thinking of one makes her mouth water at the mere thought of it... She wiped the drool off her face.

Someday, she’d get to the bottom of that mystery. And maybe even taste a bite of the donut for once. 

Speaking of mysteries and food…

"I haven’t seen the Director in a while… huh. probably busy hopping and travelling through timelines and being all-powerful again. Still, none of my sandwiches have gone missing lately... Might be time for a check on her."

She stepped into the pathway, unsure if this was the right door. A few days ago in the cafeteria, she’d overheard a group of Cookies talking about a hidden, forbidden room in the department: rooms that were strictly off-limits. Normally, she’d never dream of sneaking around like this, As loyal as she was to the TBD, Curiosity got the better of her.

Despite being unsure if this was the right thing to do, she took a deep breath and opened the door.

Wait. no, that’s just the bathroom.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

"SORRY!!!!!!!!!"

She SLAMMED the door shut and bolted out, cheeks burning with embarrassment.

She swore she wasn’t into men!!! And was thoroughly traumatized at the sight of their… well, let’s just say that’s a topic she was very eager to forget!

Brushing it off with a sheepish grin, she headed upstairs, determined to keep snooping around. 

 hallways stretched out strangely looooonnngggggg.. looping in a way that made her head spin. The whole place gave off a uneasy vibe!!!! Her gut screamed at her to turn back, but her journalistic curiosity and eager determination pushed her forward towards the destination

The place was thick with dust and maybe a bit of mold. Nature had clearly thrived in this inveronment taken over the room, too, with flowers, moss, plants, and everything nice! /ref

Suddenly, the computer in the middle of the room flickered on.

Its blinding light lit up the entire space. She felt strangely amazed, her eyes sparkling as she slowly approached it. For some reason, it called out to her. She could almost hear it whispering her name! She wasnt quite sure why she felt like this. Suddenly she stumbled back as the world spun around her fading into blurriness and colors

Blackness overwhelmed her vision shortly.

Meanwhile, Marble Bread Cookie dragged himself into the room, already exhausted from the day. He’d heard rumors about the room being haunted or cursed, but he figured it was just nonsense mixed with too much free time. If it could be even considered that, was THERE even a so called "break time"? 

Now standing inside, he saw nothing unusual. Just dust mites drifting lazily in the glow of the still on computer screen, the soft hum filling the silence. Huh. Leaving a computer on in this mess? Wasteful. And seriously, who would even want to come here?

“Dust, dust… more dust…” he muttered, dragging his vacuum cleaner further inside, grumbling as usual.

But something felt unnatural. Like a scene had just unfolded, something straight out of those late night crime news or shows he didn’t want to admit he sometimes binged on. 

Wait.

“Coffee Candy Cookie.. ?” he whispered, Hovering over her figure.

He poked her gently with the cleanest edge of his vacuum cleaner no response. He carefully checked her pulse, relieved to find it still beating. She looked rough, though. Definitely not okay.

Guess I’m carrying her out of here, he thought, already grumbling about the mess he’d have to clean after this.

Suddenly, the computer flashed wildly.

“Okay, nope-NOPE!” he shouted, scrambling toward the door.

"THAT THING’S CURSED!!!!"

He shrieked, bolting out as fast as he could. 

then turned around. 
ran back. 

grabbed Coffee Candy Cookie like a sack of flour and clumsily stumbled to the door, Fumbling with the key before locking and shutting the door behind them.

“So the rumors are true.... "
