High Day
e51896
Magnolia was able to quickly set up a canopy the moment she smelled rain, and her quick thinking gave her the time she needed to set up a canopy over the bonfire, finishing just in time for the rain to fall. With the fire protected from the water droplets, she wondered if there would be any problems putting a canopy over the fire with its smoke, but she had notice that the fire wasn't producing any smoke for whatever reason. She wonders if there was some kind of spirit hex on the fire preventing smoke from being produced. She cut a hole on the roof of the canopy just in case.
As soon as she finishes the setup however, she is disappointed to find out the fisherman is gone. She was about to give up and leave the beach hungry with no seafood when she notices the stingray the fisherman had is laying on the log between two newcomers sitting at the campfire: some kind of wolf, and some kind of elf. They seem to be more focused on each other rather than her, so she grabs the stingray, and drops it in the pot to let it cook.
As she sits on the logbench, lightning in the distance suddenly illuminates the sky for a fraction of a second, followed by a loud thunderous sound in the distance, not loud enough to be startling, but enough to be heard by everyone at the beach. Sniffles, her little tapir pet, comes scurrying towards her and jumps on her lap. She relaxes her tapir with long slow pets on its back.
the atmosphere is perfect ambience to tell spooky stories by the bonfire. And while Magnolia loves scary stories, she is terrible at telling them. She wonders if the two newcomers would be able to tell a scary story, but that would require her to make the first move, and she was nervous she'll make a fool of herself especially like she did when she first spoke to the fisherman.
Instead, in order to get the two people interested, she decides to talk to them indirectly by recounting a ghost story to Sniffles.
 :Time for ghost stories, Sniffles... Ummm... a ghost liiiiiiit this fire. It's true. The end.
Magnolia feels a tiny bit proud of her spooky ghost story, and since it's a true story, she deduces that it has to be scary enough to get the elf and beast interested to tell their own spooky stories... maybe even spooky enough to scare them.
...
She then wonders if her story might be too scary, enough to have them run away from her. She regrets saying anything.
