01. The Search for Golden Cheese Cookie's Kingdom
You, who reigns from the throne of gold.
Blessed to bask in opulence and splendor.
Golden one, your coffers hold riches unparalleled.
Does your insatiable greed match the infiniteness of your life?
A choice is awaiting you.
[scene transition]
Adventurer Cookie	Gah...! Hah...
	Phew, it was just a dream...!
Adventurer Cookie	Infinite life? But I'm just a Cookie!
	Nonsense!
	You're awake.	Black Raisin Cookie
	The sun's not up yet. You may sleep some more.
Adventurer Cookie	Black Raisin Cookie, why aren't you sleeping?
	I rise up before dawn to sharpen the arrowheads. Call it a habit.	Black Raisin Cookie
	I'm not really much of a sleeper anyway.
Adventurer Cookie	Ha ha, that's definitely not the case for those two sleepyheads!
GingerBrave	Z—z—z... Jellies... Z—z—z...
	Z—z—z... Arch... Z—z—z... Wizard...	Wizard Cookie
	Z—z—z... And tall...
Adventurer Cookie	I wonder what they could be dreaming about...!
	Adventurer Cookie, tell me. Do we really know where the Golden Cheese Kingdom is?	Black Raisin Cookie
	We've been walking for days. We saw the melting canyons of Mount Cheddar, inhaled the dust—ridden air of the Parmesan Desert...
	Yet haven't gotten an inch closer to completing the mission Pure Vanilla Cookie gave us!
	Can we really find what we're looking for?
Adventurer Cookie	The Golden Cheese Kingdom was lost ages ago, but it exists! I can prove it!
Adventurer Cookie	It's marked on the old Map of the Kingdoms left by my grandfather!
Adventurer Cookie	According to the map, we must be close!
	Caw! Caw!	Crow
Black Raisin Cookie	The crows. The sun's about to rise.
	Let's move out before the cheese sand gets too hot.
	Good thinking! Rise and shine, you sleepyheaads!(sic)	Adventurer Cookie
	The desert is getting hotter by the minute!
GingerBrave	Yaaawn! Whoah, now that was some quality sleep!
	Splendid! Now pack your belongings! The Golden Cheese Kingdom awaits!	Adventurer Cookie

02. Passerby Cheeseburger Turtle
GingerBrave	Huh? Who's that?!
	... Hi. My... name... is...	Shelly
	...
GingerBrave	Huh? Go on, tell us your name! It's okay, you can trust us!
	Shelly... the... Cheese...	Shelly
Wizard Cookie	The way I see it, it's a matter of speed.
	...	Shelly
	Burger... ... Turtle.
Black Raisin Cookie	Yawn...
Black Raisin Cookie	...!!
	AHA! You yawned! Which means, you're sleepy too!	Adventurer Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	... You saw nothing.
Shelly	Be... wary...
	Of...
	The... sand...
	Precisely! We, Cookies, must be careful around sand! Just a few grains can make us feel more crunchy, but it's not the kind of crunch you want!	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	Pleased to meet you, Shelly!
Shelly	... Jelly... Worms...
	They're... coming...

03. Sand Jelly Worms
Wizard Cookie	Huh? Look! There's something under the sand... And it's coming fast!
	Gah! Sand Jelly Worms! They can swallow anything!	Adventurer Cookie
	Yes! Sand, rocks... and Cookies!!!
GingerBrave	Huh? I refuse to be swallowed!
[scene transition]
Adventurer Cookie	Good Jelly! There's only one left!
Adventurer Cookie	Let's take care of... HUH?!
Wizard Cookie	GingerBrave! Your feet!
	My feet?	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	You're sinking!
	Gah! It's quicksand! The sandworms make it all the time!	Adventurer Cookie
GingerBrave	Oh no! I'm gonna sink!
Wizard Cookie	GINGERBRAVE! Oh no, GingerBrave's gone!
Wizard Cookie	What should we do? What should we do?! What would GingerBrave do?!
	He would probably go after his friends...	Adventurer Cookie
	Eureka! We should sink after GingerBrave!
	There's gotta be something on the other side!	Adventurer Cookie

04. Cheese Caverns
Adventurer Cookie	Good Jelly... I almost crumbled!
	The hole was deeper than I thought!
	GingerBrave, are you alright?	Black Raisin Cookie
GingerBrave	Yeah, I'm fine! And you came to rescue me! Despite the danger!
	Nonsense! How could we not save our friend?!	Adventurer Cookie
Wizard Cookie	C—Cookies...! Behind you!
	T—the Sand Jelly Worms... Followed us!!!
Sand Jelly Worm	SCREEEEECH!
	GAH! Everyone, RUN!	Adventurer Cookie
GingerBrave	It's a dead end...!
	This is not good... We've got nowhere to run!	Wizard Cookie
Sand Jelly Worm	HISSSSsSS!
	KLANG!
	Is everyone in one piece?	???
GingerBrave	Whoah, someone took care of those sandworms! And so easily!
	Hah! Easy—peasy! After all these years, I've gotten pretty skilled with my shovel!	???
GingerBrave	Ah! Then you must be Shovel Cookie!
	Huh? No, my name is Olive Cookie!	Olive Cookie
	An archaeologist. I study the kingdoms of old.
Wizard Cookie	Are you saying that you, too, are searching for the Golden Cheese Kingdom...?
	Yes, yes I am! That's right! Are you archaeologists too?	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Not really. My name is Adventurer Cookie and these are my fellow adventurers!
Adventurer Cookie	We come here in search of adventures in kingdoms long lost!
	Adventures in places only the bravest Cookies dare go!
	That's the definition of "archaeologist!" We travel from ruins to ruins to discover new artifacts and relics.	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Interesting... But did you know that it's us, adventurers, who pave the way for you, archaeologists, by discovering new lands?
	EXCUSE ME...?	Olive Cookie
	GingerBrave
	Um... But we all are looking for the Golden Cheese Kingdom, right?!
	Let's be friends and search together! What do you think about that, Olive Cookie?	GingerBrave
Olive Cookie	Hm... Very well! I was looking for a way out anyway!
	Let's join forces! Together we'll find the exit in no time!
[scene transition]
Olive Cookie	So, tell me. Why are you searching for the Golden Cheese Kingdom anyway?
	We hope to meet Golden Cheese Cookie!	GingerBrave
	We really, really need her help!	GingerBrave
Olive Cookie	Help? What kind of help?
	We need her strength in the coming war!	GingerBrave
	Without Golden Cheese Cookie... we can't protect our world.
Olive Cookie	Yes, I've heard Earthbread is far from safe and peaceful these days. And you are trying to put an end to all that? Hmm...
	And what brings YOU here, if I may ask?	Wizard Cookie
Olive Cookie	The fabled Golden Cheese Kingdom was once known as the richest, most prosperous nation on Earthbread!
	It's my life's dream to witness such glory with my own eyes, to pay respects to the Cookies who built it!
	And... I'd love to find out whey they chose seclusion all of a sudden.
Olive Cookie	There's something to it. I just know it! A secret, waiting to be unraveled...
	And the kingdom's relics will tell me the truth!

05. Underground Adventures
Adventurer Cookie	Tell me, Olive Cookie! What kind of tools do archaeologists use?
	Me, I need nothing else but my trusty rope in my adventures! This one here has saved my life on multiple occasions.
	My most treasured tool would be this shovel. Ancient secrets tend to be buried deep in the earth, you know.	Olive Cookie
	With some digging, any mystery can be brought to light!
Adventurer Cookie	Good Jelly, those are words of gold!
	I got one too! "Adventurer's rope. Swinging you right into the future!" How's THAT?
	Ha ha, I look into the past, while you look into the future.	Olive Cookie
	I guess that would explain our disagreement in the very beginning!
Wizard Cookie	YOWCH!
	Wizard Cookie! What happened?	Black Raisin Cookie
Wizard Cookie	There's something rock—hard ahead! I walked right into it in the dark...!
Olive Cookie	This... This artifact is...! From an archaelogical standpoint, it's...!
	A robust frame, four wheels, big enough for a Cookie to ride...!
	I believe this was used to transport materials and passengers in a mine! A minecart!
	Whoah, Olive Cookie! You're good at this!	GingerBrave
Adventurer Cookie	Looks like an old piece of junk! But a brilliant archaeologist like yourself can surely make it move again?
	Nonsense! Archaeology is the study of ancient relics and we do not tinker around with old rubbish!	Olive Cookie
	However... I do think I know how to make this move!	Olive Cookie
Wizard Cookie	Oooh, I can't wait to see you working your archaeological wonders!
	No, we're just gonna push it!	Olive Cookie
Wizard Cookie	Ah...!
	If we follow the tracks in this cart, we can find out where it leads!	Olive Cookie
	C'mon, what are we waiting for?! It's not like we have another escape route!
Adventurer Cookie	Ha ha... I'm getting to like you! Alright! The real adventure starts NOW!
Adventurer Cookie	Buckle up, Cookies!

06. Cheesebirds and their Mines
Miner Cheesebird	Cheese Stone to the right...!
	Syrup Ore to the left...!
	Whoah...! What is this place?!	GingerBrave
Olive Cookie	It's stuffy, it smells like cheese, and there are pickaxes laying around...!
	This place is...
	Chirp chirp! Cookiez!	Miner Cheesebird
	Cookiez! Pleasure! Safety first! Mind your headz! Wear helmetz at all timez!
	Golden Cheez Cookie's orderz!
Crow	Caw! Caw!
	Even crowz! Got helmetz in all sizez! Observe! Bird helmetz! Bermetz!	Miner Cheesebird
GingerBrave	Huh, you two can talk?
	Caw!	Crow
Olive Cookie	What an honor to meet a real Cheesebird! Cheesebirds are native to this land.
	They nest in underground caverns and spend most of their time building tunnels and mines!
Olive Cookie	This encounter can only mean one thing... We have reached the Golden Cheese Kingdom!
	Oh sweet Jelly! That's why my adventurer sense has been tingling in this direction all this time!	Adventurer Cookie
	Ha ha! I found it! I finally found the Golden Cheese Kingdom!	Adventurer Cookie
GingerBrave	Whoah! But what's all that flying above?!
	Beetlez! Food! Food for the birdz!	Miner Cheesebird
GingerBrave	Heh, bet you're never hungry!
	That's the thing...! Beetlez! Many beetlez these dayz!	Miner Cheesebird
	Can't mine! Can't peck! Beetlez everywhere! Too few beetlez bad! Too many beetlez? Also bad!
Wizard Cookie	Huh, I can see how that can be a problem...
	We can help you deal with these bugs!	GingerBrave
Miner Cheesebird	Chirp chirp! Pleaz!
[scene transition]
Adventurer Cookie	Phew! That should do it! We managed to shoo those nasty bugs away!
	Thankz! Many thankz!	Miner Cheesebird
	Back to normal rationz! Healthy diet is the best!
	Interested in us, birdz? We can show you our homez! Come! Come!
	This place is called "Pillarz of Cheez!" And we are the Cheez Birdz! We peck the pillarz to build homez! Chirp chirp!
GingerBrave	Cool! Look at all those tiny burrows bunched up together!
	Phew... Isn't it a bit hot in here?	Wizard Cookie
	And humid, too... Ugh... I don't feel very well...
Miner Cheesebird	Chirp chirp! Beetlez! Beetlez make the minez hot!
	They flap their wingz! The friction from the flapz producez heat!
	Ugh... I can barely breathe in here...!	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	Here! Drink this, it should cool you down!
	Delicious! Thanks, GingerBrave!	Wizard Cookie
Olive Cookie	Oh! But that's...!
Olive Cookie	While this flat and wide vessel might look suitable for storing beverages...!
	I believe this object is a household article commonly used by the Cheesebirds to wash away the hardships of mining and known as...
	The Cheesebird Bath!
	PFFFFFFT!	Wizard Cookie
	Are you saing I just drank... Pfft! CHEESEBIRD BATH WATER?!
Miner Cheesebird	Tangy and robust! Chirp chirp!
	That's amazing, Olive Cookie! We can learn so much from you!	GingerBrave
Black Raisin Cookie	You could have asked before handing that to Wizard Cookie...
	Eh, sorry! Are we cool? I hope we're cool! Chirp chirp!	Miner Cheesebird
	Problemz! The heat causes many problemz! There haz been a big one recently!
Adventurer Cookie	A big problem? Care to elaborate? Maybe we could help.

07. Heart of the Mines
GingerBrave	Whoah! What is this giant place?!
	Just look at those stalactites! They almost reach the top of the cavern! ... Or are those "stalagmites...?"	Wizard Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Huh! There are wheels of cheese stashed in those pillars! So, so many of them!
	Huh? Hello? Welcome to the deep minez! This is the Golden Cheez Storage! Chirp!	Manager Cheesebird
	What you see is Golden Cheez of the Highest Purity! Chirp!
	Our work is to make sure it's kept safe and aged according to our standardz!
Olive Cookie	Haaaa! I had no idea a place like this existed! I'll document everything!
	Huh... "Cheese of the highest purity," you say?	GingerBrave
	It's so sleek and shiny it almost looks alive!	GingerBrave
	... Can I have a bit?
Assistant Cheesebird	Nope! Absolutely impossible! This cheez is off—limits!
	If something happens to this cheez, the whole Golden Cheez Kingdom will be in trouble!
	I see a hole over there! That one wheel at the bottom.	Wizard Cookie
Assistant Cheesebird	Oh... That's what we call a reject! The "handywork" of those beetlez running rampant!
	An error... in our work!
	Assistant! I need today's report! Chirp!	Manager Cheesebird
Assistant Cheesebird	Right away! Let me pull my data... Here! Chirp!
	Oh... Lookz like we've had another spillage incident in the morning!
	A spillage means... you're in trouble, huh?	Wizard Cookie
Manager Cheesebird	Precisely! Our task is to keep all this cheez fresh! Queen Golden Cheez Cookie's orderz! Chirp!
	It means we need to maintain the right temperature, the right humidity level at all timez! Chirp!
	But those bugz! Those bugz are causing a complete ruckuz! CHIRP!
	The heat they generate causes our cheez to melt! Chirp chirp!
	With all due respect, we must use our fanz!	Assistant Cheesebird
GingerBrave	You had fans all this time?!
	Yes! Over there! A huge fan! Chirp!	Manager Cheesebird
	But it's out of power! To turn it back on, you need to take a cart and press the button over there...! Chirp!
	But the railwayz... are in bad shape!
Adventurer Cookie	We'll fix the railways!
	Chirp?! You can do that?	Manager Cheesebird
Adventurer Cookie	Sure thing! Paving ways for others—that's what we, adventurers, do!
	We'll fix those railways in no time!

08. Fixing the Railway
Assistant Cheesebird	You've fixed the railwayz! And turned the fanz back on as well!
	Now the temperature will go down! No more spillagez! Chirp!
	You're at liberty to continue your journey! Use the cart! Chirp!	Manager Cheesebird
	This way! We use this tunnel to throw away rockz from the minez! This is fine, right?! Chirp?
Adventurer Cookie	Absolutely! For a seasoned adventurer such as myself, everything is fine!
Adventurer Cookie	Forward, my friends! To the Golden Cheese Kingdom!
	Safe travelz! It was a pleasure meeting you, Cookiez!	Assistant Cheesebird
	When you meet Her Radiance, Golden Cheez Cookie, tell her we're waiting! Chirp!
	The Cheez Birdz are waiting patiently to witness her golden glory once more! Chirp!
GingerBrave	Sure thing! Stay safe!
	Ha ha! How exciting!	Adventurer Cookie
	Who knew I would be the first to pioneer the legendary Golden Cheese Kingdom!
Olive Cookie	To think that I'll finally get to see it with my own eyes...!
GingerBrave	Whoah...! The cart is moving!
Wizard Cookie	It's going faster and faster! Eeek! TOO FAST!
	MY HAT! GAAAAAH!
	Phew! What a ride! I almost lost my glasses just now! Heh...	Olive Cookie
	GingerBrave, how are you holding up?!
GingerBrave	I... fine! For I'm..(sic) GINGERBRAVE!
	And GingerBrave... doesn't... SCREAM!
Olive Cookie	Ha ha! Your composure is impressive, my friend!
	Finally! I see the light ahead!	Adventurer Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Everyone, keep your eyes wide open! You're about to witness the sight of your lives! The secret of the Golden Cheese Kingdom is about to be revealed!
	GAH! Somebody stop this thing already!!!	Wizard Cookie

09. The Golden Cheese Temple at Last
Olive Cookie	We're here...!
	The kingdom founded by Golden Cheese Cookie herself!
	What a discovery! Look at that temple! So grand and imposing!	Adventurer Cookie
	Legend has it Golden Cheese Cookie ordered to fashion it from a single dollop of the finest cheese!
Black Raisin Cookie	Let's go! Golden Cheese Cookie must be somewhere inside.
	Hold on a moment... Something's amiss.	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	Hmm?
	If this really is the palace of Golden Cheese Cookie... There must be someone to guard it, don't you think?	Wizard Cookie
	Instead, it's all empty and quiet.
	Not even a crumb in sight!
GingerBrave	Maybe... everyone is having a party inside!
	Now I want to run inside even more!	Adventurer Cookie
	Just imaging all the dangers awaiting us in the shadows...!
	Ah! And don't forget about the traps! Ha ha! But, of course, they're no match for a skilled adventurer!	Adventurer Cookie
Olive Cookie	As an archaeologist, I just can't wait to dive into the mysteries this temple holds!
	I bet it's full of ancient inscriptions to decipher!
	Temples like these are founts of ancient knowledge! I'm gonna examine each and every mural!
Olive Cookie	Just make sure not to step on any suspicious tiles until I'm done, Adventurer Cookie!
	Don't forget the Cookies waiting for us back home!
	Home? Hah! There's only the mysterious path ahead!	Adventurer Cookie
	What are we waiting for, my friends?! Let's go!	Adventurer Cookie

10. Brown Sugar Golem's Puzzle
	YOU CANNOT PASS!	Brown Sugar Guardian Golem
	ANSWER MY RIDDLE! ONLY THEN, I SHALL LET YOU PASS!
GingerBrave	Oh, crumbs! A riddle?!
	WHAT CREATURE HAS FOUR IN THE MORNING, TWO IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THREE AT NIGHT?	Brown Sugar Guardian Golem
	NUMBER ONE, A COOKIE. TWO, A HUMAN. THREE, A JELLY WORM. FOUR, A CAKE HOUND.
	NOW THEN, WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER?
GingerBrave	Hmm... Is it number three, a Jelly Worm?
	WRONG! JELLY WORMS DON'T HAVE LEGS!	Brown Sugar Guardian Golem
Olive Cookie	Alright then! A Cake Hound!
	WRONG AGAIN! CAKE HOUNDS HAVE FOUR FEET REGARDLESS OF THE TIME OF DAY!	Brown Sugar Guardian Golem
Olive Cookie	I just chose it since they're SOOO cute!
	What's left?	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	It's number two, a human!
	WRONG! ONCE AGAIN, WRONG!	Brown Sugar Guardian Golem
GingerBrave	By the way, what's a human?
	I must say... I am unfamiliar with this particular term...	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	Well, that just leaves...
GingerBrave	Number one, a Cookie!
	CORRECT! A FRESHLY BAKED COOKIE CRAWLS ON ALL FOURS, THEN STANDS ON THEIR TWO FEET! WHEN THEY GROW OLD, THEY USE A WALKING STICK, SO THAT'S THREE!	Brown Sugar Guardian Golem
	AS YOUR REWARD, I SHALL SHOW YOU A HIDDEN PATH!
GingerBrave	Whoah! Alright!!!

11. Deciphering Hieroglyphs
Olive Cookie	Now, I read all that I could get my hands on about the Golden Cheese Kingdom before traveling here...
	It is said that the greedy Golden Cheese Cookie feared losing her wealth more than anything.
	That's why she went to great lengths to prevent other Cookies from reaching her domain. She would even put traps on the road to the Kingdom. Can you imagine?!
	But I came prepared! I'll give you all something to stay in touch even if something... forces us to part ways! Get ready, it's highly advanced!
	Whoah! Highly advanced! What's that?!	GingerBrave
Olive Cookie	This... string telephone!
	The string is very stretchy!
	Whenever the need arises, say something to the cup, and your counterpart will hear your message!
	GingerBrave
	Oooh, let me try that!
	GingerBrave to Wizard Cookie! DO YOU COPY?!
Wizard Cookie
	I'm standing right in front of you, GingerBrave...!
	I literally wouldn't need anything to "copy!"
Olive Cookie	Oh, but look around! There're murals everywhere!
	I bet we have to decipher the inscriptions to be able to proceed safely!
	Those hieroglyphs are different from those I've seen in the Millenial Tree ruins!	Adventurer Cookie
	Can you really read them, Olive Cookie?	Adventurer Cookie
Olive Cookie	Ha ha! Of course!
Olive Cookie	... But let me wipe my glasses clean first.
Olive Cookie	Now! What do we have here? I see a pair of "eyes" and an "earth..."
	Cookies, go to the low place...
	...and the path will open!
	The low place? Where's that?!	Wizard Cookie
Olive Cookie	WE MUST GET FLAT!
	But we're already flat!	GingerBrave
Olive Cookie	No! GET DOWN!
GingerBrave	Huh...!
GingerBrave	WHOAH! There's a gap below the wall!
GingerBrave	I can see the path to the next chamber!
	Whoah! Not bad, Olive Cookie! You cracked the puzzle!	Wizard Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Good Jelly, nicely done!
	Guess you've won this round!
	Easy—peasy!	Olive Cookie
	Let's get crawling then!
GingerBrave	Yeah!

12. Run, Run, Run!
GingerBrave	Huh! Looks like we are supposed to run here!
	See? The running track is stretching all the way from here!
	Oh... I'm afraid I'm not a very good runner...! You see, I'm more of a reader and digger...	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	Don't worry, Olive Cookie! Take my hand, I'll help you run!
GingerBrave	If there's one thing I'm exceptionally good at, it's running!
	Together, we can run very fast!
[scene transition]
Wizard Cookie	Aaah! It's speeding up!
	Gah! A huge boulder is coming our way! Be careful, Cookies!	GingerBrave
[scene transition]
Adventurer Cookie	Phew! Are we there yet?!
	It's getting faster and faster, and there're more and more obstacles!	Olive Cookie
Crow	Caw caw!
	Even the crows are getting tired!	Black Raisin Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Ugh... I can't do it... I must get out of here!
	What's your plan, Adventurer Cookie?!	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	See that brick sticking out up above? I'm going to hook my rope around it and swing to safety!
	And then I'll throw it back down for you to climb!
	Adventurer Cookie, it's too dangerous!	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	You'll never know if you don't try!
	Attempt number 1!
	Gah! Didn't work!
Adventurer Cookie	Attempt number 2!
Adventurer Cookie	Please work... Please!
Adventurer Cookie	I really need to get back home in one piece...!
	There's... a Cookie waiting for me!
	Adventurer Cookie...!	GingerBrave
Adventurer Cookie	The final... Attempt number 3!!!
[scene transition]
Adventurer Cookie	Oh Jelly, I slipped...!
[scene transition]
Adventurer Cookie	AHHHAAAAAH!
GingerBrave	ADVENTURER COOKIE!
	Huff—puff... No more... I can't... Stay safe, Cookies... Don't... Crumble...	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	No, don't you give up, WIzard Cookie! We must leave this place, together!
[scene transition]
	That's it! I got it! If we climb up on the parapet, we won't need to run!	Olive Cookie
	Here, reach out and hold my hand! Just a bit more! You can do it!!!
GingerBrave	Just... a bit... more!
	Almost... there!	Olive Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	But there's only...!
	A GAPING HOLE!	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	HAAAAAH!
Olive Cookie	GINGERBRAVE! WIZARD COOKIE! BLACK RAISIN COOKIE!

13. Burnt Cheese Cookie's Trials
GingerBrave	Huh... What happened...
	I remember the giant boulder... obstacles... lots of running...
GingerBrave	Right, right! We fell into the hole!
	Cookies! Are you all in one piece?!
	Ghhh... Huh... Where...	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	...! What is this place?!
	What happened...?!
	I see a light!	GingerBrave
	Let's go to it!	GingerBrave
GingerBrave	Oh, a Cookie!
GingerBrave	Hi! What's your name? We're looking for Golden Cheese Cookie!
Burnt Cheese Cookie	I am Burnt Cheese Cookie, the Keeper of the Gates.
	You will take not a step forward.
	Sniff sniff... Cookies, sweet and crispy...
	Your dough... smells like fresh flour.
	But... How...?
	We come at Pure Vanilla Cookie's behest. There is something we must ask of Golden Cheese Cookie.	Black Raisin Cookie
	The shadow of a great was is looming over our world. We need Golden Cheese Cookie's strength to protect Earthbread.
Burnt Cheese Cookie	To enter our kingdom, all Cookies, noble or lowly, must pass through these gates.
	The gates will measure the power of your greed.
Burnt Cheese Cookie's Jackal 1	Grrrrr...!
Burnt Cheese Cookie's Jackal 2	Grrraarr...!
GingerBrave	Haah, I don't enjoy the looks from those snarling jackals...
	If you wish to live and leave this place...	Burnt Cheese Cookie
	You will fight... with your bare hands!
Burnt Cheese Cookie's Jackal 1	Grrarr!
[scene transition]
GingerBrave	We did it! We won!
	Phew...! I gotta say, it's good to be strong!	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	But where is Burnt Cheese Cookie?
	Huh! He's gone!	GingerBrave
	Quick, let's go through the gates! I really hope the Golden Cheese Kingdom is just behind it!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	What...! Another gate?!
	I am Burnt Cheese Cookie, the Keeper of the Gates.	Burnt Cheese Cookie
GingerBrave	Burnt Cheese Cookie! Why are you here?
	Why, it is my job to guard the gates.	Burnt Cheese Cookie
GingerBrave	You must like your gates a great deal...!
	This place is between Order and Chaos, Day and Night.	Burnt Cheese Cookie
	To enter the Paradise of the Golden Radiance, you must cast aside your worldly sins.
	Even if your sins are no greater than a grain of sugar.
GingerBrave	I haven't done anything of that sort! And I can prove it!
	I wouldn't be so sure... Remember how we gave a huge pile of work to the Sugar Gnomes before leaving the kingdom...?	Wizard Cookie
	What if... Just what if the Gnomes weren't too happy about that...?!
GingerBrave	GAH! Sugar Gnomes, I'm so sorry!
	How do we cast aside our sins?!	Black Raisin Cookie
Burnt Cheese Cookie	Long ago, a dark spirit was born where the Western Sky and the Earth meet. A creature who harbors an insatiable grudge against the entire world...
	A giant snake with fangs of pure poison. Fight it!
	Oh, not again!	GingerBrave
[scene transition]
Wizard Cookie	Another gate passed!
	Better be the last one.	Black Raisin Cookie
GingerBrave	Cookies! You'll have to lend me a hand here to open this...
Burnt Cheese Cookie	I am Burnt Cheese Cookie, the Keeper of...
	Yes, yes! We've already heard that!	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	What's your next trial?
	This is your final trial.	Burnt Cheese Cookie
	Your souls shall be weighed on this scale.
Black Raisin Cookie	... Just who does Golden Cheese Cookie think she is to expect us to do that?!
	Don't worry. The light of your souls is already within my grasp.	Burnt Cheese Cookie
	I will weigh it against this feather.
	If your souls are lighter than the feather, I shall grant you passage into the realm of Everlasting Gold.
	However, should your souls be heavier... You will be banished from this world to become food for hungry monsters.
GingerBrave	Gahaaah! Oh no! What if my soul is too heavy?!
	Or my soul...! With all my intellect and knowledge, my soul is bound to be heavy...!	Wizard Cookie
	I knew I shouldn't have read pages through that thick old encyclopedia before leaving...!	Wizard Cookie
Burnt Cheese Cookie	...
Burnt Cheese Cookie	Witness the result. Your souls are exceptionally light.
	The three of your souls combined are much lighter than the delicate feather.
	You don't seem too happy, Wizard Cookie!	Black Raisin Cookie
Burnt Cheese Cookie	Your trials are complete. You may pass through the final gates to the Kingdom of Gold.
	To the place of Eternal Opulence, untarnished by Time itself.
	CAW!	Crow
Burnt Cheese Cookie	Ah, I forgot about you. Even birds' souls must be tested.
	Passed.
	Now, you may pass through the gates to the Golden...
	CAW CAW!	Crow
Burnt Cheese Cookie	... More crows?
	... Passed.
	CAW CAW CAW!	Crow
Burnt Cheese Cookie	Hold on... Just how many crows are you bringing with you?

14. The Great Golden City
GingerBrave	Whoah! What is this place?!
	I was expecting many things but definitely not this!
	I suppose this—finally—is the Golden Cheese Kingdom. Right? RIGHT?!	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	Ach... Is everything made of gold here? It's too shiny to look at!
	Black Raisin Cookie, are you alright?	GingerBrave
Black Raisin Cookie	I am... I'm just not used to being around such... luxury.
	While many Cookies are struggling to get by on the other side of the continent to this day...
	Honk honk! Hey, watch where you're going!	Supercar Cookie 1
	You can't just stand there! Get off the road! HONK!
Supercar Cookie 2	... What's your problem? Can't you see I'm late to the partay?
	Huh, your speech balloons look weird!	GingerBrave
Supercar Cookie 2	... What on Earthbread are you talking about?!
	Every Cookie here drives an awesome car!	GingerBrave
	I thought that only super—famous Cookies like Shining Glitter Cookie had those!
Wizard Cookie	Well, I guess everyone here is rich?
	If even the oridinary Cookies of this kingdom are so wealthy, just how rich is their queen?	Black Raisin Cookie
GingerBrave	Oooh, that's right! We must find Golden Cheese Cookie!
	Hey, listen! Where can we find Golden Cheese Cookie?
	WHAT?! You dare call our benevolent, magnificent Goddess Queen by Her name like She is your friend or something!	Supercar Cookie 1
Supercar Cookie 2	Yeah! Queen Golden Cheese Cookie is our savior! She built this paradise on Earthbread where we know no need or despair!
	Just a mere glimpse of Her grandiose radiance will leave you filled with humbleness and awe!
	Yeah, Queen Golden Cheese Cookie has no business meeting simple Cookies like you lot!	Supercar Cookie 1
Wizard Cookie	Goddess...?
	Now, make way, will you? My Crystals are waiting to be spent! C'mon!	Supercar Cookie 1
Supercar Cookie 2	Have I, by any chance, told you I'M LATE FOR MY PARTAY?! Are you trying to steal my spotlight or something?
	Let's keep moving, my friends! All those lights are giving me a headache...!	Wizard Cookie
Marzipan Cookie 1	Warning! Warning! Public offense detected!
	Taking Queen's name in vain!
	Willful obstruction of the road!
	You will receive twenty penalty points!
	Ha! We've only been here for a minute and already got twenty points?!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	D—did I hear it right?! "P—PENALTY POINTS?!" It can't be right, I only get bonus points! For being EXTRA SMART!
Wizard Cookie	We should find that Golden Cheese Cookie before we get more of... those!

15. Time to Partay
GingerBrave	Whoah, it's so loud! What is this place...?!
	Everybody is... shaking?!	Wizard Cookie
Party Cookie 1	Heeey! Come on in! Haven't seen ya around?! First time in here?
	A—are you talking... to me?	Wizard Cookie
Party Cookie 1	Whoah, you look like you could use some loosenin' up! C'mon and dance with us! The music's awesome!
	... I'm not much of a dancer... A—am I doing it right?!	Wizard Cookie
Party Cookie 1	Keep it goin'! Woohoo!
	The nights are always bright and there's always plenty of time in here! Relax and have fun, cuz there's no pain or sadness!
	So just dance and don't worry about anything!
	He he! Everyone is dancing! The locals must really like dancing a lot!	GingerBrave
Party Cookie 2	Of course, we do! What else is there to do when you're young and free?!
	Here, in our Kingdom, we dance freely under the endless skies! We know no suffering or crumbling!
	Relax and take a deep breath! Yeah, this is what real freedom smells like!	Party Cookie 1
	This magnificent night belongs to you! Anything you want, you'll get!
Party Cookie 2	One thing you need to do is dance!
	Wow! That's amazing! I'm gonna dance too!	GingerBrave
Black Raisin Cookie	GingerBrave, what was that right now?
	I'm gonna shake my dough to the beat! And nothing will stop me!	GingerBrave
Black Raisin Cookie	No, there's a sound coming from our phone!
GingerBrave	OH? Really? Olive Cookie must be trying to get through!
GingerBrave	Hello? Olive Cookie?!
	Phew, finally! GingerBrave, are you okay?!	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	Yeah, we are doing great!
	Oh, heavens! I'm here with Adventurer Cookie! ... Do I hear music? It's very loud!	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	Yeah! We're dancing in the Golden Cheese Kingdom!
	The music here is so loud! Do you hear it too?!
	Where I'm standing, it's completely silent!	Olive Cookie
	We came to the Temple Hall in hopes to find someone, but this place is empty!
GingerBrave	You should come here! It's so crowded!
	The entire Golden Cheese Kingdom must be here right now!
	Where are you?	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	We are...
GingerBrave	Oh, it's so loud here! I can barely hear you!
GingerBrave	I'll call you back, Olive Cookie!
Black Raisin Cookie	I don't think we will find Golden Cheese Cookie here. Let's leave this place before it gets even more crowded.
	Oh crumbs...! And here I thought I finally memorized all those dance moves...!	Wizard Cookie

16. Monsters Detected
Black Raisin Cookie	Is it always night in this kingdom...?
	Those lights... Are they always so bright?
Black Raisin Cookie	All these Cookies are wearing expensive sunglasses, because it's never dark, even though there is no sunlight...
	Black Raisin Cookie, come have some fun with us!	GingerBrave
	This place is fantastic, they really have everything! I can have the finest jampies and donuts, as many as I want!
Wizard Cookie	And I found all the books I wanted to read! I even purchased a hat in the local style!
	In this land, you can find anything you can think of! Anything!
	... You got used to this opulence so quickly, huh.	Black Raisin Cookie
	To be frank, I don't really enjoy being here.	Black Raisin Cookie
	I bet they never have raisins.
GingerBrave	Raisins?
Monsters	Grrrrrr...!
	Yikes! What was that?! MONSTERS!!!	Wizard Cookie
Monster	GRAAARRW!
	Everyone, take cover! We'll take care of the...!	GingerBrave
---	Whoah! These are even bigger than the last time!
	Oooh, I'd bet my Coins on that one! He he!	---
GingerBrave	Huh...? That's odd...!
	Usually, Cookies get scared when they see monsters...
	Warning! Warning! Monsters detected! Containment protocol initiated.	Marzipan Cookie 1
	Monsters in sight.
	Terget acquired! Engaging... Assuming position.
Marzipan Cookie 2	Acknowledged!
	Position assumed.	Marzipan Cookie 3
Marzipan Cookie 4	Roger that.
Monsters	Grr...?!
	Target neutralized and captured! Well done!	Marzipan Cookie 1
GingerBrave	Hey, listen...! You didn't even flinch at the sight of those monsters!
	Why would I? They're for the Monster Games tommorrow!	---
Wizard Cookie	Monster Games...?
	Yeah, we make those beasts fight each other!	---
---	Everyone makes bets, the matches are exciting! It's fun!
	Our goddess Golden Cheese Cookie hates chaos and mayhem more than anything! That's why she turned it into entertainment!
	Where can we see those Monster Games?	GingerBrave
---	Right there! In the huge Colosseum!

17. Colosseum Games
Host Cookie	Can you feel it? The tingling in the air! It's called... EXCITEMENT! The Royal Golden Cheese Colosseum is electrified with anticipation!
	Tonight, we have a very special surprise in store for you! WELCOME TO THE MONSTER GAMES!
Audience	YEEEEEEEEES!
Host Cookie	What was that? I couldn't hear it! WE'RE GOING TO NEED A LOUDER ROUND OF APPLAUSE!
	Are you ready?! A new batch of dreadful beasts, freshly delivered for your entertainment!
	They had the nerve to invade our glorious kingdom! Now it's our duty to teach them a lesson. Am I right?!
Audience	HA HA HA HA!
Host Cookie	Our jam-chilling match is about to begin!
	Enjoy!
	... I almost forgot! Tonight, we're honored to have our very special guests with us: the venerated Mozzarella Cookie, Smoked Cheese Cookie, and His Reverence High Priest Cheesenbird!
	Oooh, so many possible outcomes! How should I place my bet tonight...?	Mozzarella Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	It's just a squabble among lowly beasts. They'll be tearing each other apart either way. I wouldn't invest much of my time—if I were you.
	Ahh, poor monsterz! I shall welcome them with open wingz! Everyone deserve healingz! Chirp! Chirp!	High Priest Cheesenbird
GingerBrave	So many Cookies have gathered to watch the monster fight, huh...!
	Perhaps, it's a local tradition!	Wizard Cookie
	Instead of trembling in fear, these Cookies reverse the invaders' aggression on each other! Pretty smart, in my book!	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	I've an idea! I know how to meet Golden Cheese Cookie!
	What should we do?!	GingerBrave
Black Raisin Cookie	EVERYONE, OVER HERE! WE COME FROM THE OUTSIDE TOO!
	ALLOW US A CHANCE TO FIGHT THE MONSTERS! TONIGHT, VICTORY WILL BE OURS!
	Oh? It looks like we have unexpected contenders!	Mozzarella Cookie
	How brave and intriguing! I'll bet my Coins on them.	Mozzarella Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Cookies from the outside? Outlanders in our Kingdom?!
	It's simply not possible... Could they truly pass Burnt Cheese Cookie's trials?
Wizard Cookie	What's your plan, Black Raisin Cookie? We came to meet Golden Cheese Cookie and now we have to fight those monsters in the arena?!
	That's exactly how we meet her.	Black Raisin Cookie
	Remember, they said Golden Cheese Cookie hates chaos? And we are going to make some noise here.	Black Raisin Cookie
	She's bound to appear to see what's going on.
GingerBrave	Whoah! Sounds like a great plan, Black Raisin Cookie!
	Hey, monsters! Come at us, if you dare!	Black Raisin Cookie
	Time to wreak havoc!
Adventurer Cookie	I wonder what happened to GingerBrave and the others...
	Me too... I hope they didn't get caught in a trap without me...	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Those pesky traps! If it weren't for my trusty rope—Oooh, Good Jelly! I would've been toast1
	When you said there was a Cookie waiting for you back home...	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Huh?
	Remember? You said you need to get home in one piece because there's someone waiting for you to come back.	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Well... Yeah! Um... Yup.
	Your family?	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	N—no, not family...
	I guess they're someone very important to you! Who else would make a season traveler like you think of home?	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Heh... Huh? What's that?! Looks like a huge arena!
	I wonder what the Cookies of the Golden Cheese Kingdom used it for!
	Oooh...!	Olive Cookie
	Golden Cheese Kingdom was well—known for its peculiar way of dealing with monsters and law—breakers!	Olive Cookie
	Whoever was so greedy they were deemed dangerous to society was sent here to be taught a lesson by entertaining the entire Kingdom!
	This place was called the Golden Cheese Colosseum!
Adventurer Cookie	Whoah, Olive Cookie! You're sweating!
	... Olive oil, don't mind it! He he... I tend to do that when I'm excited...	Olive Cookie
	Yes, this was the Colosseum! For the Golden Cheese Cookies, a simple punishment wasn't enough.	Olive Cookie
	If you broke the law, you had to fight or crumble.
	And entertain the crowd at the same time...
Adventurer Cookie	Huh... I wonder what kind of place this kingdom was...
	Oh, would you look at that! An ancient ledger!	Olive Cookie
	They must have used it to document the fights!	Olive Cookie
	"Cheedas the Mole... Brought to the Colosseum for tyranny over the Cheesebirds."
	They even brought Sand Jelly Worms to fight in this arena!
Adventurer Cookie	No Cookies, I presume?
	Cookies... Cookies...	Olive Cookie
	Hmm, there is a Cookie name!
	Smoked Cheese Cookie.	Olive Cookie
Servant Cookie 1	May Your Ever—Gleaming Radiance Remain Untarnished, Noble Queen Golden Cheese Cookie. Was your hand massage to your liking, o Golden Sovereign?
	Your magnificent dough shines brighter than ever, as though freshly—baked!	Servant Cookie 2
Golden Cheese Cookie	Hmm, not bad if I do say so myself!
	My Glorious Queen, may your splendid hands multiply our riches and wealth forever more!	Servant Cookie 1
Golden Cheese Cookie	Sounds like a plan.
	Ahh, my perfect city of gold!
	All this opulence, all this prosperity flowing like a river is indeed... my handiwork!
	Your brilliance truly knows no bounds, my Queen...!	Servant Cookie 2
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Your Radiance! Have you heard the news?
	The final victors from the Colosseum... are outlanders. Cookies.
	Outlanders...?	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Is there a problem with the connection?
Burnt Cheese Cookie	They passed the Three Trials, my Queen.
	But... there was a whiff of fresh flour to their dough. They didn't have the right to enter.
	Your Brilliance, considering the fact that there has been a sudden rise in monster attacks...	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	Perhaps, these events are somehow... linked.
Mozzarella Cookie	They didn't seem that bad to me.
Mozzarella Cookie	I certainly won a scrumptious sum of Coins thanks to their prowess in battle, he he.
	Ah, nothing beats the Monster Games!
	We should bring these Cookies in and find out how they infiltrated the system.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	What if it was them who caused the error in the Cheese Storage?
	If they won't talk, we can soak them in milk. That.,.(sic) that will make them... cooperate.
Golden Cheese Cookie	Enough, enough! Last thing we need is a commotion in our kingdom.
	A single error—so what? Our riches won't go anywhere because of that!
	But Your Radiance...!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	Smoked Cheese Cookie. Your enormous greed has always been troubling.
	Sometimes you seem to forget that all you see around is mine, and mine alone. Yes, and the same goes for the final decision on this matter!
	How would you have us proceed, Your Majesty?	Mozzarella Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	The tiny error is beneath my attention.
	Besides, I have better things to focus on. Building a better, more prosperous world.
	A world where everyone could live in peace, unknowing of needs or sorrows...
	Abundant, beautiful...

18. Underground Jail
Black Raisin Cookie	You...! What are you doing!
	Where are you taking us? We can walk on our own!
	You're under arrest for causing public disturbance within the walls of the Royal Golden Cheese Colosseum.	Marzipan Cookie 1
	You will be detained for the duration of the investigation.
Black Raisin Cookie	Can't you at least remove the blindfold? I can't see a thing!
	Black Raisin Cookie is right! This is unfair!	GingerBrave
Marzipan Cookie 1	Remain silent until your verdict is decided.
Wizard Cookie	Gah, what is this pl... JAIL!????
Wizard Cookie	We WON in the Monster Games! And that's the kind of treatment winners receive in this kingdom?! Wow, just wow!
	I'm sure the whole world would "benefit" from learning about the way you handle things in your Kingdom.	Black Raisin Cookie
Wizard Cookie	Black Raisin Cookie, don't give them ideas!
	What do we do now...	GingerBrave
	I wonder if Olive Cookie is still looking for us! Hope she's alright...
Black Raisin Cookie	We still have the phone Olive Cookie gave us! Why don't we try to call her this time?
GingerBrave	Whoah! Great idea!
	Hello?!	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	OH! Olive Cookie! Your phone works!
	Of course, it works! That's why I gave it to you!	Olive Cookie
	Now tell me where you are!	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	Hm... How should I explain... We fought against an army of monsters in the arena!
GingerBrave	And all the Cookies in the audience cheered and yelled! Did you hear that?!
	I... Didn't hear anything like that. Adventurer Cookie, did you hear Cookies yelling?	Olive Cookie
Adventurer Cookie	Huh? I certainly did not! This temple is as silent as Ninja Cookie's afternoon nap!
	Strange, very strange...	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	Yes, it's very strange! We won the fight and they sent us to jail!
	No, not that...	Olive Cookie
	I suspect there's something else at play...
	Could you do me a favor? I need a certain book from the Great Library.	Olive Cookie
	A book on the Golden City of the Golden Cheese Kingdom.
	This book should explain a lot! I'll meet you there!
GingerBrave	Huh? Did I mention that we were in jail?!
	We need to get out of here... but how?! How do we escape to meet Olive Cookie?	Wizard Cookie
Crow	Caw caw caw!
	Look! The crows! They're coming from that little window!	GingerBrave
Crow	CAW CAW!
Wizard Cookie	They've unlocked the door for us?!
	Black Raisin Cookie, is there anything your crows can't do?!	GingerBrave
Black Raisin Cookie	What can I say? I taught them well! Even better than I thought!
[scene transition]
GingerBrave	Let's go! Thanks, crows!
	Shush! Stay quiet! We can't let the Marzipan Cookies know we're escaping!	Wizard Cookie
	Now where did Olive Cookie want us to go?!	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	The library! We must go to the Great Library!
	Stay low and quiet!

19. A Mummy Cookie?
GingerBrave	Is this the library Olive Cookie wanted us to visit?!
	This place is filled with pasta scrolls! And there's something inscribed on them.	Black Raisin Cookie
Wizard Cookie	They use noodles instead of paper for scribing! How unusual!
	So, what did Olive Cookie want us to find?	Black Raisin Cookie
Wizard Cookie	A book about the Golden City.
	It seems the books are arranged alphabetically. Let's start with the letter G!
	Found it!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	Let's see, what do we have here...! "Generosity and Greed," ... Interesting. "Guide to Urban Planning," ... Coming back for that. "Greatest Cheese Platters"...
Wizard Cookie	Golden City, huh... Where could this book be?
	Here! I FOUND IT! The book about the Golden City!	GingerBrave
	It's right here!
Wizard Cookie	Shhh! Stop yelling! You have to keep quiet in the library!
	Besides, we don't really want them to find us, do we?
	Woooo... woo...	???
Wizard Cookie	See?! What did I just say?
Wizard Cookie	...GAH! What are you?!
	WOOOO...!	Fettuccine Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	It's coming for us...!
	Everyone, get ready!	GingerBrave
[scene transition]
Fettuccine Cookie	Woo...
	Phew! We won!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	What's up with that Cookie? It looks like a mummy wrapped up in noodles!
	A—and mummies are not supposed to walk around...!
	Listen... Do you feel as if your dough is... tingling?	Black Raisin Cookie
	Like popping candy...	Black Raisin Cookie
Fettuccine Cookie	Woo...
	Woooooo...!
Black Raisin Cookie	What's going on! Everything is... warping!
	Eughh.... I don't feel so good...!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	What's happening?! My body...!
	It's stretching like a batch of fresh dough...!
	Look! The room around the mummy Cookie... is falling apart!	Black Raisin Cookie
Fettuccine Cookie	Woo...Woo ooo...
	Everything is... disappearing!	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	What on Earthbread...!
	Oh no... Oh no no no! Look, even the floor...!!	GingerBrave
	RUN!	GingerBrave
Black Raisin Cookie	Too late! We can't escape!
	GAH! I'M FAAAAALLING!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	AAAAAH!

20. Room of 0s and 1s?
Wizard Cookie	G—GingerBrave?!
	...ke up! Can you hear me?!
	GAH!	GingerBrave
GingerBrave	Whoah! Wizard Cookie?! What happened to you?! You look... crumbled!
	SAYS YOU!	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	Is this... another jail?!
	No... It's not a jail...! We must have touched something we weren't supposed to and ended up... on the WRONG side of the world!!!	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	Wrong side?!
	You know... think of something like a secret cellar! O—or a shady alley! There are places like that in all corners of the world!	Wizard Cookie
	We're in the backrooms of the Golden Cheese Kingdom!
GingerBrave	The kingdom was so shiny and full of life! I didn't expect to end up in an empty place like this...!
	All those ones and zeros over there... What could they mean?	Black Raisin Cookie
Wizard Cookie	Who knows? One thing is for sure: that's not magic! More like... technology.
	Whatever it is, it's incredible! There's no door or window in sight!	Black Raisin Cookie
GingerBrave	Olive Cookie might know something! Let's call her!
GingerBrave	Huh? C'mon, pick up! I'll dial her again...
GingerBrave	The phone won't work! Did I break it?!
	WHAT?! That doesn't sound good! How do we escape?!	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	Wh—what's that?!
	Those shapes... somehow feel familiar.	Black Raisin Cookie
	But they don't seem friendly...!
GingerBrave	Be careful, Cookies!
[scene transition]
Black Raisin Cookie	... Those things keep on coming!
	If only we knew WHERE they're coming from...!	Wizard Cookie
	We must escape as soon as possible or we're toast!
Black Raisin Cookie	But how...? There's nowhere to run or even hide!
	I'll try to call Olive Cookie once again!	GingerBrave
GingerBrave	... Awww crumbs! No luck!
	Gaaah! I'm THIS close to panicking!	Wizard Cookie
	Last thing I want is to perish in this strange place!!!
Adventurer Cookie	Good Jelly! There you are!
	Adventurer Cookie!!!	GingerBrave
	How did you find us?!
Adventurer Cookie	Ha ha ha! We couldn't reach you by phone and got a hunch something happened!
	You ended up here after falling down from the running trap, right?
	So I kept running and running to get to you!
Adventurer Cookie	I ran once, I ran twice, ten, twenty times...
	I ran and ran...
	And finally, I fell down too and ended up here myself!
	You... you went through all that suffering... just to help us?!	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	Adventurer Cookie...! I...
	You can thank me later, lad!	Adventurer Cookie
	We must get back to reality and fast! Olive Cookie is waiting!	Adventurer Cookie

21. Reunited with Olive Cookie
Olive Cookie	Cookies! I'm so happy you're alright!
	Olive Cookie, I missed you!	GingerBrave
	But how did you manage to figure out where we were?!	GingerBrave
Adventurer Cookie	Well, Olive Cookie used her smarts to crack this little riddle. I wouldn't have found you without her!
	Have you found the book?	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave Cookie	Here! It's about the Golden City!
	Let's see...	Olive Cookie
	AHA! Just what I thought!	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	Huh?!
	GingerBrave, listen closely!	Olive Cookie
GingerBrave	Alright! I'm all ears!
Olive Cookie	The place you ended up was a virtual world called "The Golden City!"
	You won't really find anything like that in any other corner of the world! And it's described in this book!
	A "virtual world?" I don't understand...	GingerBrave
	Everything we saw was... not real?!	GingerBrave
Olive Cookie	It's a world where everything exists the way Golden Cheese Cookie wants it! Even time stands still!
	Everything- and I mean "everything"- to be found in the real Golden Cheese Kingdom now exists only there.
	From the great gilded pyramids to small books, like this one!
	That's why in our real world, the kingdom remains completely empty, while the Golden City that you visited was filled with life!
Adventurer Cookie	And all this time we were walking the same halls and streets. The Colosseum, the Great Library...
	But since you were in the city world, we kept missing each other!
	How...? WHAT...? How... What...?! Is that even possible?!	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	Golden Cheese Cookie's Soul jam...
	Huh?	Wizard Cookie
GingerBrave	The Soul Jam holds amazing power! It knows about the Cookie's hopes and wishes...!
	That's how Golden Cheese Cookie must've created the world!
	But... why?	Black Raisin Cookie
	Why go to such lengths to stay in a place that is not even real...?
Olive Cookie	... Follow me.
	There's something I must show you.

22. Tombs and Sarcophagi
Olive Cookie	This is the Golden Cheese Kingdom's tomb.
	In each of these sarcophagi sleeps a Cookie whose life is approaching its end.
	Back in the day, they would use special ingredients and unique techniques to preserve these Cookies for long ages.
	Huh...? What does it mean?!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	Then the Cookies we met back in the Golden City...
	Yes. They are Cookies whose bodies are kept inside these containers.	Olive Cookie
	Mummies.
Black Raisin Cookie	Cookies...
	This sarcophagus by the entrance seems... familiar.
	Jackal's head...	GingerBrave
	Burnt Cheese Cookie!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	Burnt Cheese Cookie, the Keeper of the Gates...
	After all these years, he keeps guarding the gates of the kingdom for intruders...
	It's unbelievable! All those Cookies were mummies?!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	Wait a moment... What about that mummy Cookie we met at the library?
Wizard Cookie	She was a mummy in the virtual world too!
	Perhaps, there has been an error of some kind.	Olive Cookie
	Remember what the Cheesebirds back at the Cheese Storage said?
GingerBrave	I do! They took care of all the cheese stored in the pillars!
	Now it's just my theory but... I think each of those wheels of cheese must contain a Cookie soul.	Olive Cookie
	The Cheesebirds took care of not the cheese, but the Soul of each Cookie from the Golden Cheese Kingdom.
Wizard Cookie	Then it means the hole made by the beetles was...
	Probably the soul of that mummy Cookie you met.	Olive Cookie
	I don't know a lot about all this... But the fact the number of beetles has grown all of a sudden must be causing an error somewhere in the virtual world.
GingerBrave	Huh...
GingerBrave	Maybe we ended up in that room go ones and zeros because of the error?
	Errors or not, to design and create a whole world like that is an amazing feat!	Wizard Cookie
	Golden Cheese Cookie has created a whole new world just by herself!
GingerBrave	What a Cookie thing to do! He he. Who else if not a Cookie could achieve something like that?
	Then... Where is the "real" Golden Cheese Cookie?	Black Raisin Cookie
	We still need to meet her.	Black Raisin Cookie
	She must receive the message from Pure Vanilla Cookie and join us in saving the world.
Olive Cookie	Golden Cheese Cookie... I believe...
Olive Cookie	Shouldn't be too far from here.

23. Where the Truth Lies
	Remember what it felt like to lose. On the day when everything slipped away like grains of sand...
	Remember forever...
GingerBrave	Did you hear that just now?
	What it felt like to lose...	Black Raisin Cookie
Wizard Cookie	Look! The big golden sarcophagus standing over there!
Wizard Cookie	Is Golden Cheese Cookie really confined inside...?
	N-no way...! Is Golden Cheese Cookie... she... crumbled?!	GingerBrave
	Olive Cookie I don't think so, GingerBrave.
	Who else can govern the vast and abundant virtual world if not Golden Cheese Cookie?
	It's likely that she is still alive and crispy. Only her consciousness is connected to her imaginary realm.
Black Raisin Cookie	But her body really is... inside.
	What must we do to meet her?	Adventurer Cookie
	Olive Cookie This tomb was meant to be a place of final rest...
	To celebrate the end of a worldly life of astounding achievement, surrounded by treasures and lamenting servants...
	Yet... something forced Golden Cheese Cookie to come and confine herself in here, all alone.
	I must know why you built your virtual paradise...!
Olive Cookie	I must find out the truth!
	Gah! The sarcophagus is shaking!	GingerBrave
	Are those... memories from the past?!
Golden Cheese Cookie	It can't be...!
	The war is over. Dark Enchantress is no more...
	... But so is my kingdom.
	My temples, my gold, my treasures... And my Cookies... All of them!
	I lost everything!
	All that was gleaming, all that was mine...!
	My water carriers... My servants... My builders and architects... All those little Cookies who played in my streets...
Golden Cheese Cookie	Mozzarella Cookie, whose stories always made me laugh...
	Smoked Cheese Cookie... We had our differences, but none cared for my kingdom as much as he...
	Burnt Cheese Cookie... who crumbled, protecting my land...
	THEY ALL WERE MY TREASURES...!
	MY FINEST, MOST PRECIOUS TREASURES!
Golden Cheese Cookie	No, I won't let them go! I can't let them go!
Golden Cheese Cookie	All the riches I call mine... I shall never part with! Such is my desire!
	I... shall rebuild my kingdom anew!
	An abundant kingdom that never saw the horrors of war, where time itself stands still!
	I shall create a kingdom of Ever-Gleaming Golden Light!
GingerBrave	I understand now...
	Golden Cheese Cookie build a virtual world because she missed her old kingdom...
	And all the Cookies we met there...	Wizard Cookie
	Were Golden Cheese Cookie's dear friends!
Black Raisin Cookie	She didn't want to lose them.
	I know what it feels like...
	Golden Cheese Cookie is still inside that thing...	GingerBrave
	Building her Golden City...?
Golden Cheese Cookie's Voice	You are... to be commended.
	How do you find my City of Gold? Did you enjoy basking in my golden glory?
	This voice...!	GingerBrave
Golden Cheese Cookie's Voice	Until now, I allowed your presence in my domain because I thought you were harmless and insignificant.
	But to come this far...! I don't know if I'm impressed or annoyed! Fine, I shall grant you and audience with me.
GingerBrave	Huh...?
	THE LIGHT...!	Adventurer Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	Ah, yes. The intruders from the real world!
	Causing disturbances in my city left and right! Enjoy being in the spotlight, do we?
	Too bad! I HATE when someone tries so hard to outshine me!
	Let's see how good you are in battle! Try earning your right for my attention.
Golden Cheese Cookie	Ha ha ha! Well fought!
Golden Cheese Cookie	I don't know who you are, but you're good. Pretty good! Shall we take a closer look?
GingerBrave	Gah!
	The floor itself follows Golden Cheese Cookie's orders!	Wizard Cookie
Black Raisin Cookie	Golden Cheese Cookie is much... taller than I expected...!
Golden Cheese Cookie	Two Cookies wearing hats, one wearing glasses, a one-armed Cookie...
	And the last one is just... brave.
	To think such a motley crew managed to cause all those pesky errors in my kingdom!
	How curious. Even better than I expected!
	Well then, go ahead. Tell me!
	What brought you to my world of illusions and regrets? To my kingdom of lights and ever-gleaming gold?
