====[[Notebook/Weirder Things|Weirder Things]] (Classic Witch costume)==== | |||
After [[the Commander]] suggested to organize an event at the base for Halloween, {{doll name|Springfield|RF|4|costume=costume1}} was made the organizer and set up a haunted house in an recently cleared out logistics warehouse. She selected {{doll name|WA2000|RF|5|costume=costume1}} and {{doll name|Makarov|HG|3|costume=costume1}} with setting up the house, {{doll name|Type 64|SMG|2|costume=costume1}} with sewing costumes, and even recruited (bribed and kidnapped) {{doll name|G11|AR|5|costume=costume1}} to play one of the monsters, thinking she was a new arrival at the base (she eventually had to apologize after G11 got beaten up by {{doll name|MP5|SMG|4|costume=costume1}} after scaring her). | |||
When the power in the haunted house went out as WA2000 and {{doll name|m45|SMG|2|costume=costume1}} tried to turn the animatronics on, Springfield managed to reach the control room in search of WA2000 to apologize about overlooking the state of the electric circuits in the warehouse. She found m45 there, who did not recognize Springfield in the dark and lamented that she should have stayed in the kitchen to cook instead of trying to help. m45 also voiced her admiration for Springfield, seeing her as perfect in every way. Springfield encouraged her to talk about her insecurities and revealed that she too felt the stress of her position, made mistakes and got scolded by WA2000 too. She then gave m45 the Halloween costume she had planned to offer her as a way to socialize. | |||
After the event ended, the Commander explained to Springfield that they had authorized the ambitious haunted house plan to test out the quirks of each Doll and get to know them better by helping them sort each issue out. But Springfield's management ended up making things run too smoothly for them to gather much insight into their troops, so Springfield encouraged them to keep trying to know each Doll better. | |||
"Secrets are only uncovered when the moment calls for it, Commander. Before the time comes though, you'll need to keep working to get to know each of us T-Dolls better." | |||
==== [[Notebook/Santa Claus Hunt|Santa Claus Hunt]] (O Holy Night costume)==== | |||
During the Christmas party, {{doll name|Springfield|RF|4|costume=costume2}} dressed as Santa to distribute presents to the rest of the employees. However, {{doll name|M14|RF|3|costume=costume1}} cluelessly revealed to her the plan by the children Dolls to steal the presents, so Springfield enlisted {{doll name|NTW-20|RF|5|costume=costume1}} to give the troublemakers a lesson. Having sensed trouble from a conversation with {{doll name|Colt Revolver|HG|4|costume=costume1}} and missing champagne bottles in the inventory, [[the Commander]] also gathered their own security team consisting of {{doll name|MG5|MG|5|costume=costume1}} and {{doll name|FAL|AR|5|costume=costume1}}. When the Commander tried to joke about them being tempted to steal the presents too, they quickly backtracked after Springfield's usual smile got ever so slightly menacing. The three security Dolls swiftly dealt with the troublemakers before they could disrupt Springfield's plans. After she had distributed all the presents, the Commander offered Springfield their own present, since she had not prepared any for herself. | |||
“There was a lot to do... But seeing everyone so happy makes it all worth it.” | |||
' | ==== [[Notebook/Anniversary Party|Anniversary Party]] (Queen in Radiance costume)==== | ||
After the announcement of [[Griffin & Kryuger]]'s anniversary banquet, {{doll name|Springfield|RF|4|costume=costume3}} came up with a plan to organize a private party at the base for the more childish and raucous Dolls who wouldn't be invited to the public event. During the banquet, she takes [[the Commander]] aside so they can get a rest from the other guests and both express their thanks for each other's work in the past year, and the year to come. | |||
“Being able to stay by your side like this is enough for us T-Dolls, Commander.” | |||
' | ====[[Notebook/Florentine's Gift|Florentine's Gift]]==== | ||
Reusing her O Holy Night costume, Springfield appears in the costume stories of other Dolls. | |||
Before the Christmas party, Springfield enlisted the help of {{doll name|CAWS|SG|5|costume=costume1}} to select and buy the presents of the other Dolls, paying her with two days worth of afternoon tea for two. This creates some commotion as CAWS starts stalking the Dolls to know what kind of present they would like. In {{doll name|Gepard M1|RF|3|costume=costume3}}'s story, Gepard is determined to laze about in the cafe during her vacation day, but eventually feels so guilty to see [[Kalina]] and Springfield too busy to prepare the Christmas tree that {{doll name|Lewis|MG|5|costume=costume2}} and the Commander bought, she ends up preparing it herself in secret. | |||
' | In {{doll name|LWMMG|HG|2|costume=costume3}}'s story, Springfield puts her to work in laying out presents, then uses her to trick {{doll name|Mk48|MG|4}} and {{doll name|M249 SAW|MG|3}} into doing the share of work they originally refused to sign for. Because her companions wanted to help LWMMG without telling her, Springfield loudly announced the task she would bring LWMMG to next, letting Mk48 and M249 finish it quickly before they arrived, though Springfield didn't plan on them roping [[the Commander]] into helping. After the last task is complete, Springfield reveals her plan to LWMMG, who asks why she didn't notice that the other tasks were never on her schedule, but Springfield only says that it was “because of a lie” and let LWMMG figure what happened for herself. | ||

Springfield appears in {{doll name|M1911|HG|2|costume=costume2}}'s story when M1911 comes to the cafe, worried that she won't be able to dance with [[the Commander]] at the ball {{doll name|Zas M21|AR|5}} suggested. Springfield is impressed that M1911's childish tantrum convinced the others to organize an event, even though M1911 has more seniority than her, then admits that she could have been one of the Doll to try and get a dance with the Commander at the ball, but that she would be too busy and encouraged M1911 to ask naturally. | |||

When {{doll name|P38|HG|2}}, {{doll name|Spectre M4|SMG|2}} and {{doll name|HK45|HG|3}} needed funds to hire {{doll name|Desert Eagle|HG|5}} and get lessons in being idols, they temporarily worked extra shifts with Springfield and the Integrated Logistics Department.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Bookshelf of Memories]] - Becoming a Star, Flutter of a Fledgling's Wings}}</ref> When they put on their show a week later, Springfield recorded their performance.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Bookshelf of Memories]] - Becoming a Star, A Witch's Night}}</ref> | |||
=== | ====Weekend Poker Night==== | ||
After coming back from a mission on a Friday evening, {{doll name|Lee-Enfield|RF|5}} enjoys Springfield's black tea as the Cafe's last client for the day. Lee notices Springfield is slightly troubled, and Springfield reveals why the Cafe closes early on Fridays: herself and other rifle T-Dolls have a secret weekly meeting to play poker and relax, but {{doll name|Carcano M1891|RF|5}} and {{doll name|Carcano M91∕38|RF|5}} are out on a mission. Springfield invites Lee as a replacement, challenging her to put her analytic mind and unfazable poise to the test. | |||
{{ | {{doll name|WA2000|RF|5}} arrives first and the three Dolls play a introductory game where two of them are dealt face-down the same card and the third a different card, and they must pinpoint the odd one out while holding out their card for the others to see while not knowing what it is themselves. After an exchange where Lee discovers the aspect of deception of the game, she announces Springfield is the impostor as she seemed the most suspicious, but it was WA2000, who feigned to be flustered to divert Lee's attention. | ||
{{ | When {{doll name|Mosin-Nagant|RF|4}} and {{doll name|Kar98k|RF|5}} arrive, the five Dolls start a game of Five-cards stud. Laying low and conserving her chips, Lee pinpoints the other Dolls' playstyle, except for Springfield, unable to understand what strategy she's hiding behind her disarming smile. After WA2000, Kar98k and Mosin-Nagant are eliminated, Springfield and Lee engage in a duel, and eventually Springfield prevails after getting a rare hand. As the Dolls share tea after the game, Lee is enticed into attending the next Weekend Poker Night to face Springfield in a mind game again. | ||
=== | ====Her Smile==== | ||
Springfield | [[File:G36 Cafe Expression 3.png|thumb|{{doll name|G36|AR|4}} imitating Springfield's smile.]] | ||
After [[Kalina]] gets sick from overwork, Springfield closes the Cafe to take care of her for a few days. This impulsive decision pushes {{doll name|G36|AR|4}} to scrutinize how Springfield handles her work. G36 is used to Springfield's efficiency in organizing missions when they worked together, so she is shocked to see her allow clients to loiter after they have finished eating and keep decorating the Cafe whimsically. She confronts Springfield about her loose approach of her job, but Springfield doesn't see any problem with her methods as long as clients are happy. To defuse the situation, {{doll name|XM8|AR|4}} suggests they switch jobs for a day to better understand each other's work. | |||
While the Cafe receives very few customers because of G36's tyrannical efficiency despite baking trendy snacks (which is one of Springfield's weak points), Springfield, coached by {{doll name|G36C|SMG|5}}, tries her best to take the heavy workload of G36 in strides (though she refuses to wear the same maid outfit). After stubbornly deciding to take every employee's special request at the cafeteria to give the same service as the Cafe, Springfield ends up exhausted as she finishes the rest of G36's daily tasks, and understands her need for raw efficiency. | |||
At the end of the day, Springfield and G36 both apologize for underestimating each other's work. G36 helps Springfield by baking trendy snacks to add to her menu, while Springfield helps G36 become more welcoming to others, starting with lessons in smiling. | |||

Dear Commander, it's been a while. I hope you're well. I tried writing to you before, but I couldn't find the words... Perhaps my emotions are too heavy to be carried by in a simple letter. All journeys must unfortunately come to an end, but I must speak for all of us and convey our common feelings to you. From our first meeting in Area S09 to Frankfurt, we all had the chance to work with you, and walk a wonderful and unforgettable journey. Thank you for making us a part of Griffin. Thank you for leading us in battle. Thank you for giving meaning to our lives. | |||
On this day of 2065, our journey must come to an end. If we could, we would stay by your side forever. When we heard what choice you made, we felt overwhelmed and alone, we didn't want to let go... Griffin was crushed under our emotions. None of us wanted to be separated from you, none of us wanted to leave Griffin, and we all hoped to see you step out of the command room to greet us as always. But we also understand your responsibilities, towards fallen comrades and towards a better future. Miss Helian suggested that we write letters for you, but we didn't dare include any farewell in them. If we did that, then we would truly have parted ways with you... | |||
And so, we have decided not to say goodbye to you. Our journey continues. One day in the future, we will definitely walk together again. All our thoughts, all our wishes and all we want to tell you right now, we seal in this package and cast toward the future along the river of time. Please keep it until we meet again. I hope we can go an a new journey, just like we did at Griffin. | |||
We are the shining beacon in a brave new world. | |||

Weirder Things (Classic Witch costume)[edit]
After the Commander suggested to organize an event at the base for Halloween, RF SpringfieldSpringfieldSpringfield was made the organizer and set up a haunted house in an recently cleared out logistics warehouse. She selected RF WA2000WA2000WA2000 and HG MakarovMakarovMakarov with setting up the house, SMG Type 64Type 64Type 64 with sewing costumes, and even recruited (bribed and kidnapped) AR G11G11G11 to play one of the monsters, thinking she was a new arrival at the base (she eventually had to apologize after G11 got beaten up by SMG MP5MP5MP5 after scaring her).
When the power in the haunted house went out as WA2000 and SMG m45m45m45 tried to turn the animatronics on, Springfield managed to reach the control room in search of WA2000 to apologize about overlooking the state of the electric circuits in the warehouse. She found m45 there, who did not recognize Springfield in the dark and lamented that she should have stayed in the kitchen to cook instead of trying to help. m45 also voiced her admiration for Springfield, seeing her as perfect in every way. Springfield encouraged her to talk about her insecurities and revealed that she too felt the stress of her position, made mistakes and got scolded by WA2000 too. She then gave m45 the Halloween costume she had planned to offer her as a way to socialize.
After the event ended, the Commander explained to Springfield that they had authorized the ambitious haunted house plan to test out the quirks of each Doll and get to know them better by helping them sort each issue out. But Springfield's management ended up making things run too smoothly for them to gather much insight into their troops, so Springfield encouraged them to keep trying to know each Doll better.
"Secrets are only uncovered when the moment calls for it, Commander. Before the time comes though, you'll need to keep working to get to know each of us T-Dolls better."
Santa Claus Hunt (O Holy Night costume)[edit]
During the Christmas party, RF SpringfieldSpringfieldSpringfield dressed as Santa to distribute presents to the rest of the employees. However, RF M14M14M14 cluelessly revealed to her the plan by the children Dolls to steal the presents, so Springfield enlisted RF NTW-20NTW-20NTW-20 to give the troublemakers a lesson. Having sensed trouble from a conversation with HG Colt RevolverColt RevolverColt Revolver and missing champagne bottles in the inventory, the Commander also gathered their own security team consisting of MG MG5MG5MG5 and AR FALFALFAL. When the Commander tried to joke about them being tempted to steal the presents too, they quickly backtracked after Springfield's usual smile got ever so slightly menacing. The three security Dolls swiftly dealt with the troublemakers before they could disrupt Springfield's plans. After she had distributed all the presents, the Commander offered Springfield their own present, since she had not prepared any for herself.
“There was a lot to do... But seeing everyone so happy makes it all worth it.”
Anniversary Party (Queen in Radiance costume)[edit]
After the announcement of Griffin & Kryuger's anniversary banquet, RF SpringfieldSpringfieldSpringfield came up with a plan to organize a private party at the base for the more childish and raucous Dolls who wouldn't be invited to the public event. During the banquet, she takes the Commander aside so they can get a rest from the other guests and both express their thanks for each other's work in the past year, and the year to come.
“Being able to stay by your side like this is enough for us T-Dolls, Commander.”
Florentine's Gift[edit]
Reusing her O Holy Night costume, Springfield appears in the costume stories of other Dolls.
Before the Christmas party, Springfield enlisted the help of SG CAWSCAWSCAWS to select and buy the presents of the other Dolls, paying her with two days worth of afternoon tea for two. This creates some commotion as CAWS starts stalking the Dolls to know what kind of present they would like. In RF Gepard M1Gepard M1Gepard M1's story, Gepard is determined to laze about in the cafe during her vacation day, but eventually feels so guilty to see Kalina and Springfield too busy to prepare the Christmas tree that MG LewisLewisLewis and the Commander bought, she ends up preparing it herself in secret.
In HG LWMMGLWMMGLWMMG's story, Springfield puts her to work in laying out presents, then uses her to trick MG Mk48Mk48Mk48 and MG M249 SAWM249 SAWM249 SAW into doing the share of work they originally refused to sign for. Because her companions wanted to help LWMMG without telling her, Springfield loudly announced the task she would bring LWMMG to next, letting Mk48 and M249 finish it quickly before they arrived, though Springfield didn't plan on them roping the Commander into helping. After the last task is complete, Springfield reveals her plan to LWMMG, who asks why she didn't notice that the other tasks were never on her schedule, but Springfield only says that it was “because of a lie” and let LWMMG figure what happened for herself.
No. 4 Symphony[edit]
Springfield appears in HG M1911M1911M1911's story when M1911 comes to the cafe, worried that she won't be able to dance with the Commander at the ball AR Zas M21Zas M21Zas M21 suggested. Springfield is impressed that M1911's childish tantrum convinced the others to organize an event, even though M1911 has more seniority than her, then admits that she could have been one of the Doll to try and get a dance with the Commander at the ball, but that she would be too busy and encouraged M1911 to ask naturally.
Bookshelf of Memories[edit]
Becoming a Star[edit]
When HG P38P38P38, SMG Spectre M4Spectre M4Spectre M4 and HG HK45HK45HK45 needed funds to hire HG Desert EagleDesert EagleDesert Eagle and get lessons in being idols, they temporarily worked extra shifts with Springfield and the Integrated Logistics Department.[18] When they put on their show a week later, Springfield recorded their performance.[19]
Weekend Poker Night[edit]
After coming back from a mission on a Friday evening, RF Lee-EnfieldLee-EnfieldLee-Enfield enjoys Springfield's black tea as the Cafe's last client for the day. Lee notices Springfield is slightly troubled, and Springfield reveals why the Cafe closes early on Fridays: herself and other rifle T-Dolls have a secret weekly meeting to play poker and relax, but RF Carcano M1891Carcano M1891Carcano M1891 and RF Carcano M91∕38Carcano M91∕38Carcano M91∕38 are out on a mission. Springfield invites Lee as a replacement, challenging her to put her analytic mind and unfazable poise to the test.
RF WA2000WA2000WA2000 arrives first and the three Dolls play a introductory game where two of them are dealt face-down the same card and the third a different card, and they must pinpoint the odd one out while holding out their card for the others to see while not knowing what it is themselves. After an exchange where Lee discovers the aspect of deception of the game, she announces Springfield is the impostor as she seemed the most suspicious, but it was WA2000, who feigned to be flustered to divert Lee's attention.
When RF Mosin-NagantMosin-NagantMosin-Nagant and RF Kar98kKar98kKar98k arrive, the five Dolls start a game of Five-cards stud. Laying low and conserving her chips, Lee pinpoints the other Dolls' playstyle, except for Springfield, unable to understand what strategy she's hiding behind her disarming smile. After WA2000, Kar98k and Mosin-Nagant are eliminated, Springfield and Lee engage in a duel, and eventually Springfield prevails after getting a rare hand. As the Dolls share tea after the game, Lee is enticed into attending the next Weekend Poker Night to face Springfield in a mind game again.
Her Smile[edit]
After Kalina gets sick from overwork, Springfield closes the Cafe to take care of her for a few days. This impulsive decision pushes AR G36G36G36 to scrutinize how Springfield handles her work. G36 is used to Springfield's efficiency in organizing missions when they worked together, so she is shocked to see her allow clients to loiter after they have finished eating and keep decorating the Cafe whimsically. She confronts Springfield about her loose approach of her job, but Springfield doesn't see any problem with her methods as long as clients are happy. To defuse the situation, AR XM8XM8XM8 suggests they switch jobs for a day to better understand each other's work.
While the Cafe receives very few customers because of G36's tyrannical efficiency despite baking trendy snacks (which is one of Springfield's weak points), Springfield, coached by SMG G36CG36CG36C, tries her best to take the heavy workload of G36 in strides (though she refuses to wear the same maid outfit). After stubbornly deciding to take every employee's special request at the cafeteria to give the same service as the Cafe, Springfield ends up exhausted as she finishes the rest of G36's daily tasks, and understands her need for raw efficiency.
At the end of the day, Springfield and G36 both apologize for underestimating each other's work. G36 helps Springfield by baking trendy snacks to add to her menu, while Springfield helps G36 become more welcoming to others, starting with lessons in smiling.
Mail - Thanksgiving 2021 (November 25 2021)[edit]
Have you seen my turkey?
Morning, Commander!
Happy Thanksgiving! Don't forget your prayer even if you're busy at work.
Pray to whom? Hmm, I suppose it doesn't matter as long as you have faith in them. That aside, I've prepared a grand thanksgiving feast at the café tonight as per tradition.
Please come early to deliver a speech - What was I looking for just now, you say?
Haha, busted!
So...have you seen my turkey?

Email - Mid-Autumn Festival 2023[edit]
Blooming Flowers on a Full Moon
Good morning, Commander.
I'm sorry, but I won't be able to prepare breakfast for you today as I'll be busy preparing for tonight. Surely you remember what day it is today, right? Before joining Griffin, I didn't even know about this festival, but I really enjoy the poetic charm of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Both the tradition of appreciating the moon and the custom of spending time with family, It brings me... great joy.
And considering everything we've been through recently, these moments are all the more precious. I will prepare a big dinner, so please come to the courtyard outside the café with the others tonight. We can admire the moon and spend a wonderful night together.
I have attempted to make some mooncakes with reduced sugar content, because you always complain about the excessive sweetness of store-bought pastries.
I hope you'll like them.
Yours, Springfield

First Anniversary Letter[edit]
Gift from 2065
Dear Commander, it's been a while. I hope you're well. I tried writing to you before, but I couldn't find the words... Perhaps my emotions are too heavy to be carried by in a simple letter. All journeys must unfortunately come to an end, but I must speak for all of us and convey our common feelings to you. From our first meeting in Area S09 to Frankfurt, we all had the chance to work with you, and walk a wonderful and unforgettable journey. Thank you for making us a part of Griffin. Thank you for leading us in battle. Thank you for giving meaning to our lives.
On this day of 2065, our journey must come to an end. If we could, we would stay by your side forever. When we heard what choice you made, we felt overwhelmed and alone, we didn't want to let go... Griffin was crushed under our emotions. None of us wanted to be separated from you, none of us wanted to leave Griffin, and we all hoped to see you step out of the command room to greet us as always. But we also understand your responsibilities, towards fallen comrades and towards a better future. Miss Helian suggested that we write letters for you, but we didn't dare include any farewell in them. If we did that, then we would truly have parted ways with you...
And so, we have decided not to say goodbye to you. Our journey continues. One day in the future, we will definitely walk together again. All our thoughts, all our wishes and all we want to tell you right now, we seal in this package and cast toward the future along the river of time. Please keep it until we meet again. I hope we can go an a new journey, just like we did at Griffin.
We are the shining beacon in a brave new world.
