The figure stood

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

The figure stood

The figure stood on a bench, proud and tall, dressed in a black ninja suit. "This magnificent, warm, lovely cookie is mine! ALL MINE!!!" The figure burst into laughter, then slowly began to eat the cookie, laughing cruelly as if they were eating candy in front of a bunch of starving orphans.

Just as the cookie was about to touch the cruel stranger's un-cookie-deserving lips, I sprung into action, running over and grabbing... THE MOST AMAZING COOKIE IN THE UNIVERSE. The undeserving stranger looked at me angrily, but I, skilled in the fine art of cookie snatching, simply handed them a warm, plastic cookie replica and quickly ran away.

I jumped on top of a picnic table and declared my victory within a two-mile radius usig a megaphone. "THE COOKIE IS MINE!" I yelled joyfully.

Suddenly I became aware of a bunch of people eagerly eyeing my cookie.

This is basically a continuation of Shoshannah's original Cookie thread (The link is below, and it contains all the rules). Whoever has the cookie on September 21st wins the game and is allowed to eat the cookie!

Nymph~

I grab for the cookie but miss, instead catching hold of the cat's tail. I give it a yank, trying to get her to let go, but she only yowls and holds on tighter.

"Cats can't taste sweet things, what do you want this for?" I screech. Not waiting for an answer, I swipe at the cookie again, and now I don't miss.

Shifting around the cookie, I dive underground, the sweet glory of my prize safe inside a space under my skin no other creature has. Burrowing away and now up, I decide to use a less sharp nose than a bear's this time.

I break the surface, shift into a kitsune with the cookie in my hand, and begin to take a bite.

The Fox had a cookie in it's hand/paw. What does a fox need with a cookie? The cookie looks good though, all goey and still warm. I can see the suface of it, all covered with chocolate chips. Yum. The fox has good taste. I run over and poke the fox with one of my knitting needle. not hard enough to hurt it, just enough to make it loose it's hold on the cookie. I snatch it up, and sprint away, screaming," THE COOKIE IS MINE!!!" I run to the nearest tree, and climb up. I  settle myself in the topmost branch, and open my mouth for a bite...

After the cookie was stolen so RUDELY from me by the Kitsune, I leapt out of my hiding spot to hear a cry of "THE COOKIE IS MINE!" I notice a figure in a tree and immediently latched onto the trunk. I used my claws and tail to pull myself up and yow led as I came down on top of the figure. It screamed and writhed as I plucked the cookie from its undeserving paws. I scrambled back down the tree, scampering into a hole in the trunk just big enough for me. "The cookie is MINE." I whispered. I was not about to announce it to the world! Slowly, carefully, I reached out to take a bite...

 

As a shadow fell over the hole.

I finally track down the cookie just in time to see it get taken into a hole. I creep close, then jump into the hole and tussle with the cookie-holder until it is safely in my hand. I run it out of the forest, down the street, and into the back corner of a bookstore. I open my mouth to take a bite when I hear a rustling sound.

I had gone into the bookstore to see if there was possibly, maybe, hopefully a first aid kit for sale. That cat that had stolen MY cookie had really sharp nails, and I was covered in scratches. I had just located a kit, and was checking to make sure it had Band-Aids. Then I see a figure to my right. It was crouching down in the corner, and it had something in it's hand...A COOKIE!!! MY COOKIE!! I pounce on the figure, and smack it on the head with the first aid kit. While it's dazed, I snatch the cookie and race out the store, my cuts long forgotten. I ran down the street, all the while thinking to myself, the cookie in mine... the cookie is MINE! I'm back in the forest now, and I come across a stream that had a bridge. The steam is'nt deep, so I wade in, under the bridge. There is a nice beam situated in just the right place to use as a bench. I plop down, lick my lips, and open my mouth for a bite.

Just before the nefarious Vyolette closes her mouth, I phase, passing through the bridge itself. I grab the cookie and phase back through the wall... And begin running.

After a very mean person steals my cookie, I walk out of the store looking for anyplace it might be. Then I spot someone running down the street with the cookie in their hand. I run at them from the side and grab the cookie. Then I take it onto the roof of a building and prepare to take a bite.

Wait. What is that I see? A person with THE COOKIE!! Oh. I'ts the same one from last time, that figure in the book store. The one I nearly bludgeoned with a first-aid kit. I was still puzzling about how that other person got the cookie from me. All I saw was a blur, then the cookie that I had been about to feast on was GONE!!

I look at the figure again. It had a slight welt were I had smacked it one the head with the first- aid kit. I should probably apologize for that...but first things first. The cookie. 

AHHHH! The figure is opening it's mouth to eat the cookie! NOOOOOO! 

As I am on the ground, and the figure is on a rooftop (Is that right?I can't remember...) it looks as if i won't make it in time! However, I dig into my trusty utility belt, and pull out my grappling hook. I aim, and launch the claw thingy at the gutter on the roof. It catches!! I push the button on the side of the grappling hook, and I'm pulled up to the roof. If the figure did'nt already have it's mouth open to eat the cookie, I'm sure that it would've popped open after it saw me appear out of oblivion.

With a triumphant smile on my face, I snatch the cookie out of its hands. "Thank-you for this, again," I say. I check to make sure that my grappling hook is still in place, then I slide down and land on the ground. I look back up, and the figure is up there, looking at me from the rooftop, now very angry that she had been 'stolen' from again.

"Sorry about your head earlier!" I called. " You might want to get a first-aid kit or something. It could help!"

Then, I sprint accross the street, and dissapear into the woods, the cookie firmly in my grasp.
