Operation: Now Hiring!—The T.B.D. wants YOU!
Long ago, the first cookies were created by the witches, dough imbued with special life, creating the cookie world as we know it. This event, AKA the Sweet Bang, created all of the core timelines, nonaccessable due to The Temporal Barrier. When a major event happens in a core timeline, it can sprout into a divergence, yet if too many divergences form? The core timeline will break. This is where the TBD comes in, snapping off those divergences with Timeweaver Scissors to stop everything from spiraling out of control. But ever since a huge break in the timeline happened due to the Draconic War, these anomalies were getting much harder to find and fix.
Characters
Timekeeper Cookie is an individual whom many question the existence of. She holds mass power, for she is able to manipulate, control, and destroy timelines at the snap of a finger. As bubbly and energetic as she is, she holds an underlying terror to her existence due to the infinite possibilities of her actions that all stem from the name of curing boredom.
Croissant Cookie is a star employee of the Time Balance Department that was scouted due to her blooming talent. She's quite kind, even pulling all-nighters to make sure her fellow employees have easier jobs.
No-nonsense, serious about work, and made of roughly cut gummy, this Cookie uses his blaster to tie up anyone who even considers messing with the timeline. His hard and stoic expression never loosens up, unless it's in front of Croissant Cookie, responsible for saving him.
At first, she comes off of rather gentle, but underneath is a lasting, bittersweet flavor. She has an exceptionally sharp eye when it comes to uncovering potential talent, captivating them with her eloquence to scout them into the TBD. It's not long until they're made aware of her personality—words more direct, harsh, and piercing.
Head of the Emergency Neutralization Division. Since unpredictable emergencies are the norm, Pain de Campagne Cookie. is always on edge. His expression is hardened, but beneath it is a soft core that still can't ignore a distressed kitten in a tree.
To claim that this Cookie has a hand in all records at the TBD would not be an exaggeration, and with countless years of experience, Baguette Cookie has mastered every aspect of her profession. She's great at recordkeeping.
Maple Taffy Cookie is an eccentric Cookie that has a burning passion for any and all relics. Being one that has traveled the world, he takes great pride in the valuable relics found within his travels. Maple Taffy Cookie will have no hesitation in talking about these relics in great, finite detail for hours on end.
Intro
Timekeeper has gathered all the leaders of every division of the TBD today for a meeting. Croissant, Baguette, String Gummy, Maple Taffy, Dark Fondue, and Pain de Campagne.
"What's with the sudden all-hands meeting? We're busy enough as it is dealing with the aftermath of the Draconic War. I can't remember the last time I didn't work overtime!"
"I'm thinking we need to open hiring and get some new recruits!"
WHAT?! The TBD was a completely secret organization, and they were suddenly open to hire?! But after a while, Timekeeper managed to convince them, and left them to it, not getting involved in the work as always. Dark Fondue passed out lists of potential canidates for hire to the group, and reminded them; if any candidate declined after learning about the TBD, they must cut off the divergence in which they met that cookie so they wouldn't remember a thing about it. And off everyone went to find these canidates...
