sweet sour (hah! that's one rich mineral!)

Magnolia saw the crowd cheer and all when they take the challenge. She get the gist of how this games goes but when a strong drink is mentioned, she wasn't sure. One small glass of sake make her talk like pirates. Not only that, she's not planning to join but she do smile whenever crowd cheering. "guess this place isn't all about food and drink" she thought. She stand up and wear her coat, and take her cane. "as much as fun it look...i gotta look for father" she thought. She stand up and bow to Zeddicus as she excuse herself. Walking nonchalantly through the cheering crowd who seems to step up their games, Magnolia remind herself that she didn't thank Val yet for sharing a glass of sake. Uncomfortable as it was, she still feel obligated to thank him. "excuse me sir-" she stop in her track. This man seems fighting an alcohol inside of him as he look like about to start something. "good sir?" she call him again and frown. "guess he's already out of it? but he still standing though..."

She tilt her head "and why is that? asking a woman for such stuff is not very good code for gentlemen. unless i catch it wrong, please clarify" she told him with blank expression. She close latch of her arms as it stop steaming. "seriously i need to be careful about their drink" she thought

She's not sure. One of it alone make her gone steamy like this "i don't know, maybe?" she motion her steamy arms "maybe after it got cooled off" she shrug "thank you for the offer though". She didn't talk much but only give blank stare. She was thinking what she should do after this and where to search her father. She already gone to beach but nothing. She wasn't aware her empty stare are pointed at the man in front of her, making her look like a doll for decoration. "sorry, did you need something?"

@Kerzin Kalamond Her arms still letting out steam "Pardon me about this...smoke. I like the fruity taste in it...but that's actually my second alcohol for today. what kind of drink did you give me was that? certainly its not sake" she ask the mage looking man "goodness, instead introduce myself i end up rambling. I'm Magnolia Lazareva. I'm also guest here. I'm looking for father in this island. well, if i know what father is that is" she shrug "i just newcomer here and they kind enough to give me place to stay. The room is also unique. but all in all, i'm looking for my father" She frown as the steam still come out "goodness...this thing really sensitive" she open the case and let out more steam come out "that drink of yours make my body act funny, no offense, i don't mean to blame you for this but i gotta ask, what is that called?" she point toward his drink

As she still recover from her stupor, another drink came up again. Strange, she didn't order a thing yet. After hearing the words from the person who share this drink, Magnolia give the man silent nod as thankful gesture. Still though, this drink is another strong scented one. "ughh...another sake? but its rather colorful and smell like fruit. or whatever people call it..." she thought as she saw the drink. Sure enough this may cause her body to stir up again but once again her manner come first. "at least since the person who give me this drink chug it all without problem...guess its fine" she thought as she drink it. There's no resist at all from her body but still, the smell is rather strong so she stop for a second. "gah...my word that's...eh?" she realize her arms let out some steam "g-great what now?" she grunt. Her arms keep let out some smoke and finally her entire body feel hot. "father, this is too much!" she said as she put away her coat, leaving her only with red shirt and black tie. As she did so, every curve of her body revealed include her well-endowed chest. Though not exactly that big, its still surprising how she hide it so well. "oh now i feel cooled off...goodness this bar is full of jack in the box" she grumble as she eat last slice of her cake.

apparently, one of my favorite ship was historically laid to rest due to heavy amount of damage and finally buried on the sea (by sink it on purpose) ONE DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY should have been 27 instead 26. Her sister Tirpitz follow her 3 years later at 12 November but unlike Bismarck, she sink in battle. Trivia : there's vague rumor about Bismarck as a ghost war maiden ship. Back at WW2, when she was badly damaged, she manage to sail into safety even though she was keep getting bombarded on her retreat include by submarine torpedo. She finally show her sign of sinking when she reach the port. That's when they decided its time for Bismarck to lay down due to how badly damage she is and beyond repair. No wonder in Azur lane Bismarck is strict mother (to me at least)...because she sink after escort the remaining sailor to safety like a mother to her child.

She nod at the waitress and see her walk away to serve other. She look at the drink which is rather alien to her. Its somewhat transparent and it smell strong unlike tea. And more importantly, it make her feel funny just smelling it. "Goodness what kind of drink is this?" she thought. At first she don't want to take it but her manner code dictate to at least sip it. "well, who knows?" she thought before take sip of it but not without making face due to the smell. "oh word...the smell really put me on...swaying mood" she said as she hold her cane. "...well...at least i honor the person gift...but still, it be another waste if i left it just like that..." she take the glass and gulp it all down. "...ack!" She cough hard for sometime, it cause her hand to transform into iron ball as she hit her chest and finally she calm down "whoa there...that was strongest drink i ever had..." she said as she try to keep balance. She look at the marking on the glass "sake? for god sake...goodness am i just make pun? my word, am i drunk father?" she thought in confusion. But in the end, she continue to eat her cheesecake. "waitress!" she wave at the staff "give the same Licorice tea for the dude who give me this...sake? i dunno whatcha young girl call it just give that man my drink..." she fell silent "did i use that tone? goodness, drunk really make me out of character" she frown as she take another bite of her cake.

She smile as she get the cake. Sure enough its the same cake she at when she come here. The smell, the texture, the portion...and the memories. "bad thought, no bad thought when its on relax time" she said as she begin to eat the cake. Come to think of it, the waitress just now, is she mute or is she having bad day? But she do her job by bringing her cake though so she let it slide. Somehow a rude manner get her annoyed because there's voice of scolding man inside her head when that waitress come and gone without words just like that. "Don't assume the worst Magnolia...its not good manner either" she scold herself as she enjoy her 'tea time'. She look at her surrounding. So many people with much unique look or race. She look at her hands and wonder if she could call herself human "oh yeah, i'm a doll. silly me" she giggle as she continue to her own business.

Magnolia nod at the waitress notice. She isn't hungry that bad, she just need something to eat while wondering where she can find her father. The place so far had her amazed couple of times. Perhaps because she never seen such a place with much light in contrast of her own world. Sure enough she remind herself of her old home. Who is the person lie in front of her when she awake? Is he a doll? she feel there's something related to her but she don't get much out of it... "father..." she mumble "well, no matter, i can think that later. for now, tea time" she said as she wait for the waitress to bring her delicious cheesecake.

"thank you miss peach, i take care myself from here. thank you for your help" She give tip to the staff who seems confused by the gesture before she left with the strange looking coins. As she enter the place, she find it already filled with the noise of glass, pouring drinks and other thing that make this place called snack bar. She take a seat not very far from the bar table. After that, she raise her hand to get attention of the wandering waitress. She didn't wave or anything, just statically raise her hand, making her completely like figurative doll of the bar. She frown as it seems everyone mistake her for decor. "waitress? can i have cheesecake here?" she ask as she tap her cane to the floor

"that would do miss..." she look at her tag "miss peach. let us depart then" she proceed to follow the staff to the snack bar. (MC move to snack bar session)

QUESTION so i did visit the beach as i suggested. however, should i decide to visit again, is it okay to post there even though the last poster is me? i mean, some club rule dictate no double posting UNTIL someone reply to it (by all mean, you can't post again until someone else speak up) if that rule apply, i may end up can't visit beach anymore until someone reply to it. however i also find it more tedious and confusing if it let loose because the post will sounds twisted due to YC/MC already gone but someone still talk to them like they still there. that's why i add OOC () to tell them if i'm still there or not and colored it.

She sigh as she finally fix her arms "other than heavy, this thing sure is tedious sometime" she huffed. Reminded by her own schedule, Magnolia stand up and take her cane as she once again exit her room. Judged by the noise down there, looks like the place finally get some life in here. Some new people pass her by and as she thought, most of them are non-human. When she saw Mint, she approach her. "Miss Mint, may i ask for guide to where the snack bar would be? sure i can just call for the food but i prefer to get to know this place better so i plan to visit the snack bar myself" said Magnolia to the wisp

when not in battle, she is the most loving character than others...just don't mention any ship in amazement. (anyway, get in my docks already! i need no Enty!)

The moment she arrived at the hotel, the situation still remain the same. Two busy bee going around greeting and guiding the newcomer. She decide to not bother the duo unless necessary. Beside, their staff is reliable of sort so unless it's emergency, she won't bother them. Still, she greet them when their eyes meet up. "no luck on the beach. i may try again later" she told them before she walk back to her room. As she close the door, she sit down on the bed. Letting out deep breath, she mumble words father once in a while. "there's so much newcomer here. i wonder if they also guest? they look friendly...or is it?" she tilt her head wondering before she decide to lay down on the bed. Due to her being a doll, she sleep in position similar when she was awaken for the first time. Lay down like a person inside a coffin. "...i want another cheesecake..." she mutter "perhaps i should visit snack bar later" *CLANK!* "oh...not again..." she grunt as she saw her hand limp "oh well...i will visit snack bar after i fix this first" she said as she once again goes to workshop tables.

She never saw beach yet an image of a girl playing around the sands fill her mind. "so i did visit this kind of place once..." she said as her iron boots hit the soft sands. Her cane rendered useless as its weight make it sink on the white sands. Still, she walk forward until her boots finally stroked by the beach water. The salt water smell fill her nose as she look down to the beach water. "i used to be here...have fun and everything" she mutter as she thread the white sands further. The clear sky and gentle breeze playing around her long coat somewhat bring smile to her face. "father..." she mumble as she walk "i wonder if i can be that happy like that girl..." she said referring to the daughter of doll maker aka her father. After hours threading the beach, she stop when she reach the border. "i already promise not to enter forest...a promise must be fulfilled like code of Audia Knighthood" she said as she walk back. "i wonder if i can swim..." she thought. Sitting on beach chair not very far from where she came from, an image once again flash before her eyes. Seeing the girl playing around the water and splashing, she look at the man who hold the music box. "what...is that?" she mutter as the image cut out. "..." she fell silence before stand up "oh well...i guess i don't see any lead about father here. won't stop me from another try though...father" she thought as she once again walk back to the hotel. (MC has left the beach and heading back to hotel)

Magnolia take her cane and move out. She notice more people coming in but it seems everybody been busy with their own thing. So is she as she walk past through many people and wave at the two busy bee who seems can't keep up with the flow of incoming people but still doing their best. (moving into beach section)

hey, in case MC gotta visit places, does that mean i need to move the conversation to other section? MC want to go from hotel to beach for example. we had that section available after all.

The cake is really match inside her fractured memories. The soft, gentle color and smell is just like what she remember. Or perhaps the dollmaker memories is what trigger it. "thank you kindly miss...i mean mister Lollipop" had it not mentioned, she would think he is she which can cause misunderstanding. "don't worry i bring the cake to my room myself. it's okay" she smile as she take the cake with her other arms. Its easy to balance the cake even when she is walking without looking ahead. The window shows the other place she can visit later but right now, she gotta eat. As she arrived, she put the cake down and sit down. She close her eyes as another image hit. A girl in front of the very similar looking cake, lie in sick as she say something inaudible. However one voice ring out inside. "happy birthday!" She gasp as the image fade away. "goodness..." she mutter "wasting effort is not a good attitude. better eat it while its hot" she said as she take a bite. "so this is cheesecake..." and less than minutes, she wolf it all down "...alright, now..." she stand up and walk up to the window "i see a beach outside...and mostly a forest but the duo said its dangerous...perhaps i may start from beach looking for father?" she nod to herself as she once again take her cane and start her journey" (i may continue to the beach section, is this how this works right?)

*Thunk!* "goodness! this part really picky!" Magnolia sigh as she finish the maintenance. If her memory serves right, both of her hands was supposed to work like the rest of her body in texture or reaction. Suffice to say, while she might be a doll, she still need something that mostly the basic of every human need. Food, bath, drink, or perhaps medication in case of sickness. But judged by the island nature and unusual trait, the latter might won't hit her. Is doll even capable to get sick? Perhaps, because right now she felt a shaky sensation down there and it making noise. "...hungry. figures. that receptionist lady said i can have cheesecake. now where can i get those?" she said as she take her cane to revisit the receptionist. If not the wisp duo, perhaps other staff may lead her. A metallic sounds can be heard on her every step and her iron cane once again accompany her step. "father i'm hungry" she mumble as she goes to receptionist. Once she did, she arrived and ask the person behind the desk where she can get some cheesecake if they had one. "i'm sorry but do you happen to know where i can get food? i wasn't sure how the service of hotel should work" she didn't know the fact that she can just make call for anything. Or perhaps she just love to take a walk.

She follow the pig tail girl to her room and it didn't take long for her to arrive at the said location. "alright, thank you kindly miss" she give the girl small smile as she reach her pocket to give the tip. She don't know if that's necessary here or not but her memories said it is actually a proper gesture. After that, she enter the room, only to find it empty and barely enough to be called room. "how am i supposed to stay if this room is close to nothing?" she mutter. As if something hear her wishes, the room stir up and begin to take shape to what she had in mind. And the once empty space now filled with furniture and not just that, it has some workshop for her to use as extra feature. Her eyes widen as the very same room where she first awaken now replicated before her. Her former home where her father work tirelessly to make her come to life. "Father..." she mumble as she look around the familiar but not exactly the same room. "i guess i'm too quick to judge" Said Magnolia as she wander her own room. "i call you again if i need help. thank you for your assist" she said to the staff who bow out and leave. "alright, after some minor fix, i will explore the surrounding" she said as she take some tools to fix her arms.

"You mean the other building is actually yours? are you sure its alright? barging someone property is crime act. i can't find father if i was imprisoned" said Magnolia. "but i check my room first. Where exactly?" if not lead by them, perhaps another hotel staff will escort her. She don't feel tired yet but she would make some plan from there at least.

She look at the book given to her. Since they ask her name and signature, she fill it without hesitation. If no one know about her father, then she better have some place to rest before she start searching. She don't know if she can feel tired but it won't stop her from act like one. Beside, she's not the only special person here, many people around her got their own unique trait and appearance. "just sign here right?" she point out as she transform one of her finger into pen and give them her signature "is there anything else?"

Magnolia tilt her head "honestly i don't know what father is. i was awaken and had this mindset in mind yet i don't know where to go. so you say it's fine for me to stay? i may look around this island and who knows if father is here after all" said Magnolia "you mention desire, you mean any desire include certain skinship pleasure treatment and cheesecake?" she wasn't sure why she said the last one. Perhaps its related to her past.
