#Tiphereth's expectation for the meaning of existence ... Gebura's courage to protect ...

Revisited Lobotomy Corporation, and now I'm crying.

so I saw that primadoll thing and I was like hey. that could be a wack au.

Here they are automata, autonomous mechanical dolls initially created to serve important roles at a large underground facility. Since it's ran its due, their tasks were changed and they now run a cafe. They've also all been dressed in pretty kimono-like clothing because why the hell not. While it's known that they're not human, their extremely human behavior is enough to spread a large rumor that in the end, they may not be fully robotic. (something something human soul trapped in mechanical shell)

Short description of them all:

Malkuth

Height: 163cm

Favorite: Strawberry montblanc

Wish: I want the will to stand up straight.

One of the most amiable waiters and widely liked for her upbeat personality. She's slightly clumsy, but very reliable. Also feels it when a guest has had a bad day and always tries taking an opportunity to talk to them. Her specialty is sweet pastries.

Yesod

Height: 171cm

Favorite: Unknown

Wish: I want to keep the rationality to maintain discretion.

Probably one of the few that is really bent on keeping everything in order. If he weren't there, stuff probably wouldn't get cleaned. When he's stressed he starts to scratch his artificial skin, but not to the point it's problematic. Mostly has his hands full with the day-to-day management.

Hod

Height: 166cm

Favorite: Shortbread (has to have vanilla in it!)

Wish: I hope I can be a better person.

She's responsible for the pastries together with Malkuth. Serves not as often as Malkuth, as she's pretty much always found in the kitchen. Will even eat burnt cookies, says they taste just fine. Sometimes fixes the costumes of the others.

Netzach

Height: 175cm

Favorite: Doesn't really care about the food, just about the beer

Wish: I wish I had the fearlessness to keep on living.

After his facility work, he was bummed to find out he had to work yet again. Doesn't like it, is usually found making and serving alcoholic drinks. Despite that though, the others are used to it. Gebura has complained in the past for the amount of booze he is willingly to give to guests, and as such he tries to warn them when they ask for another round (keyword: tries).

Tiphereth

Height: 159cm

Favorite: Anything not too overtly sweet and sticky

Wish: I'm expecting for the meaning of existence.

Originally created as one of two, the mind of her male counterpart was uploaded into hers. Rather nimble, and she can levitate. Often checks on Netzach to see if he doesn't drink too much himself. Is another liked appearance, but sometimes she does leave people wondering as to what they used her for in the past.

Gebura

Height: 181cm

Favorite: Pocky

Wish: I wish to have the courage to protect.

The bouncer. Or rather, responsible for security. She used to fulfill a disciplinary function, and the coating of her 'skin' is more damaged than the others, causing her joints to be visible. Nowadays, her sword is largely for show...at least, it is on paper. Doesn't like to wear the ruffles and lace the other girls do, and honestly doesn't have much with running a cafe. However if someone vandalizes it, she's the one who tracks down the culprit.

Chesed

Height: 183cm

Favorite: A good cup of coffee

Wish: I want to be faithful and trustworthy.

He's in charge of the coffee (of course) and knows at least 50 different varieties. Thinks there's no such thing as an obscure kind of coffee. Has a preference for fancy clothing. The staff is now just to complement his aesthetic, it used to be a weapon.

Binah

Height: 174cm

Favorite: Almost every tea if it isn't pungent or badly made

Wish: I want to face the fear and break the cycle.

Serves the tea, but more importantly is one of the head managers. Is the one who organizes much of the behind the scenes stuff, and if you go to the cafe you likely won't see her unless you ask for tea. For most guests, she's an enigma, but those who truly appreciate tea will at least find a common ground.

Hokma

Height: 182cm

Favorite: Lemon tea

Wish: I want to embrace the past and build the future.

Another head manager, he keeps the financial records. Spends his days behind the counter. He often works together with Binah in regards to the accounting business. In contrast to the rest, he's not really one for too fancy clothing since he doesn't serve the food anyway. Sometimes, attentive guests can find him muttering about the creator of their bodies.

Angela

Height: 170cm

Favorite: ???

Wish: I want to know.

The director of the entire thing. Almost never seen in public, only during certain events when she has to show her face. She resides in the topmost floor of the building the cafe is seated in, and is essentially the head of the administration. When she appears, guests get a different impression from her than from the others; almost as if she's something else entirely.
