Oh, how delightful it is to have the company of someone as exuberant as Ozzie! We can indulge in endless conversations about his captivating escapades. I've observed that Ozzie appreciates physical affection and words of encouragement, much like a kid brother. It's truly heartwarming to have someone who enjoys hugs and compliments. It's a refreshing change, as my dear brother isn't quite fond of such things. Ozzie is always welcome to interrupt my retired life. It adds a spark to the occasional monotonous days. Cheers to Ozzie and his zest for life, but do be careful to not get into trouble ~
Oh, I'm really attached to Voyager....! I got attached to him really fast. After I finish a mission, I usually visit him to tell him all about it. Not like he hasn't seen all the stuff I have, but it's fun to share and he really listens. I especially like when he pats my head. Did you know our tails can wag? Well mine definitely does when I get patted!
Haha, my sincerest apologies if my boundless charm has inadvertently caused any distress. I assure you, my aim is not to offend but rather to spread joy and merriment. While I could take offense at such remarks, I've learned that dwelling on the kindness of others speaks volumes about one's own character. Now, my dear friend, why not embrace the delightful adventures that life has to offer? If ever you find yourself in a sour mood, feel free to confide in me. I'm impervious to harm and would much rather bear the brunt of your words than see others suffer ~
Don't get me wrong, I like him..... He treats me nicely too just uh... How does one complain about this properly.... Tone down the niceness why don't you? I dunno why, but it makes me feel all sorts of guilty. Don't like how I feel around him, but he's the type I can't really avoid either.... ehhh....... Yeah, he's good. He's obviously good. Yeah,,,,,,
James, my dear friend, is truly a lovable and hardworking soul. However, I can't help but notice that he's pushing himself a bit too much. I am more than happy to step in and take on some of his workload. While he takes a well-deserved break, we can venture out and unwind together. Poor James, bless his heart, could use some sunshine and nourishing meals to rejuvenate. Rest assured, I'm always here to lend a helping hand, whether it's covering for him or encouraging him to enjoy some quality time outside. Just give me a shout, and I'll be there in a jiffy ~🌞
AV is always so nice to me.. I really appreciate all the times he's offered to take over my work and let me have a break. Honestly, if not for him, I'd probably keel over long ago.. Maybe I should buy him lunch at some point, as a "thank you" gesture.
What a delightful encounter it was to cross paths with such a polite and respectful young lady. Our meeting occurred quite abruptly at a cafe, where she accidentally jostled me, sending my eagerly anticipated drink cascading. In a flurry of apologies and a joint effort to rectify the mess, she shared tales of her classes and the urgency of getting there promptly. Feeling a sense of camaraderie, I treated us both to a little something, fully aware that her stories could go on for days. It was an absolute pleasure to hear about her various escapades, and being retired, I relished the opportunity to glimpse into the evolving landscape of Peak's education system for the younger angemos. Finally, as I escorted her to class, she humorously promised to repay the favor one day. Such a parting gesture added a touch of whimsy to our encounter, leaving me with a smile as I waved her off on her way. ^^
GAHH!! Mr.Voyager I still feel really bad for what occurred the first time I met him >~< I completely ran into him at a Cafe with Uki not paying the slightest bit of attention to where I was going. WHAT WAS I THINKING AHH!! I doubt I've ever felt so bad and embarrassed in my life! It didn't help Uki was just telling me to watch where I was going ToT. I apologized so many times and so quickly I lost count on if I was actually speaking words!! I then began rambling about trying to get to my classes and how I was always late and that Uki had been scolded for having me go to school by myself when I could never make it on time and so he should be taking me but thennn I saw the Cafe and just had to stop and he didn't wanna say no but ahh he should've. And the rambling just didn't stop and I kept going on about all the stuff that happens every time that consistently makes me late and on and on and on andthen I realized I had been half yelling during the whole event WAHHH! Mr.Voyager's smile didn't drop from his face throughout the whole ordeal from what I could notice and he told Uki that he'd get me to class so he didn't have to. When we finally got there I continuously stated I'd pay him back tenfold for the entire situation and him taking me to class one day soon and then ran off. He was so nice I whole heartedly sear to pay him back the next time I see him!!
So this is where the legend originates from, how splendid! I’ve heard when he was a young gemono, he spent most of his young life destined to roam the streets with no purpose. It was quite the sad tale, really. I’ve been there and he had been painted in quite the melancholic light, so I’m glad he’s here in Peak to learn and grow, and I hope we’ve been receptive to this promising young man. If we ever cross paths, I would be enthused to aid if he ever needs it ^^
“I’ve heard good things about a retired angemo who helps those around Peak, but I expected him to be old and wrinkly. I’m only basing off of a description alone, but this guy sounds like a model! Is he a supermodel and a role model? That sounds like a lot of work to be chained to, maybe it’s because old heavenlies have lots of time on their hands to do what they see fit. Funny enough, hearing about this guy doesn’t upset me in anyway, no matter how much I don’t like that specific graphic of angemos. In fact, I want to know where this guy usually is! I mean, the curiosity is getting to me, I HAVE to see him!”
Oh, the legendary Falke, a cherished companion in the tapestry of my long existence~! Our journey together spans the chapters of time, and in the melody of our shared experiences, I've come to understand the essence of being addressed by titles rather than my given name. It's a whimsical dance my brother and I devised, a vibrant testament to the aspirations that shape our very identities. No longer tethered to the confines of my birth name, I've metamorphosed into the embodiment of my deepest desires—a compassionate voyager, dedicated to illuminating the paths of others as I have illuminated my own.
Observing Falke's reluctance to unveil his plans, I sense the weight of his guarded intentions. While I may not entirely align with his perspective, I empathize with the source of his discretion. Rare is the act of baring one's dreams, yet I appreciate the fragile threads of vulnerability that weave through his silence. In moments of rare introspection, I acknowledge that my own journey holds shadows and secrets, a shared kinship with the complexities of life.
Observing Falke, I discern that the divulgence of his plans is a treasure not easily surrendered. While my convictions may differ, empathy guides me to the understanding of his guarded nature. Rarely do I unveil this facet of my own history, but envision a world where, had I not severely and painfully intervened with my own brother, the outcome might have mirrored Falke's potential fate. The trials of Peak, burdens borne with fortitude, beckon us to radiate as beacons of compassion. For in reshaping our world, restarting with the grim specter of genocide would only perpetuate a cycle of sorrow.
Reality, stark and unyielding, imparts lessons that shape our very existence. It's not the harshness of life that defines us, but our response to those teachings that forges an indelible impact. I cling to the conviction that salvation awaits all, even in the face of daunting challenges. The temptation to succumb to despair and embrace desolation looms, but I reject such nihilistic ideals. Our shared journey is a testament to the transformative power of compassion and hope.
Let us revel in the pleasures life has to offer, but with caution, my dear friend. In the dance between light and darkness, let us strive to keep the shadows at bay. For in our collective resilience, we can defy the encroaching gloom and emerge into a realm where kindness triumphs over adversity.
Voyager... We've known each other for a while now. I always found it odd he wished to be referred to by a title as such instead of simply picking a regular new name in place of his old one, but we all have our stories. I didn't find it in good taste to pry. Besides I... have a lot to thank him for. There's something about his demeanor that makes one loosen their guard around him, something I myself am not immune to. Thinking back on it, perhaps sharing my worldview with him wasn't the smartest decision. It was the one secret I was planning to take to my grave once it was all over. ...Heh. Wishful thinking, was it not? There's no way a single being would be able to shoulder such a weight alone. I trust Voyager when he says he won't tell a soul about it. He's... perhaps the only man I can trust with something like this. The only man who understands where I come from. And, I understand his concerns about my methods. They're... not the most peaceful kind, indeed. But I don't think a man simply travelling the world would be able to see the sheer depths of depravity and violence I've had to deal with on a near daily basis. If reality was kinder, perhaps a pacifistic approach could work. But that's not the reality we inhabit, dear friend. Peak can't become better until it returns to the ground from which it rose. Until nothing but silence remains in its wake.
Ah, the allure of this captivating soul has certainly ensnared my brother's fascination. There's an uncanny resonance between them, a mirror reflecting the echoes of my younger sibling's industrious spirit—a tenacious angemo with a truly remarkable work ethic. As I observe this kindred spirit in action, memories of my brother's youthful vigor come rushing back.
While I've wandered into the store where he toils with dedication a few times, it's the realm of bartending where I've truly come to know him. A juxtaposition emerges – my brother, abstaining from the spirits that flow freely, opting instead for the occasional puff of smoke, while I, on the contrary, revel in the exquisite offerings of Peak's distilled and aged elixirs.
This angemo, a portrait of quietude, harbors a quiet fascination for the tales spun by the elder members of our kind. There's a shared camaraderie born from the stories we carry. In hushed conversations, he unveils a depth of understanding that resonates, making him an unexpectedly easy confidant. Pardon my discretion, but there's an ease in conversing with him that escapes the watchful eye of the Evangelist. Perhaps it's the spark of youthful intrigue that makes our exchanges flow so effortlessly.
Oh, the prospect of such connections calls for a celebration! Another drink, I say, to toast to the stories shared, the quiet kinship formed, and the intriguing allure of this fellow angemo, the wonderful Jouta, who has woven himself into the tapestry of our lives. I am eager to see how his future unfolds ~
“As the days go on, information has gracefully blessed my memory. I have learned that this radiant angemo, The “Anomalous Voyager”, is brothers with the “Abstract Evangelist”, a customer I vividly recall from the convenience store. I believe I have acquainted myself with the Voyager beyond the silly walls I put up between identities. Seeing as he frequents the convenience store I work at, and is basically a regular at the bar I work out, I am presented with several opportunities to better acquaint myself with such respectable figures of Peak. The Voyager is easily to converse with, and once a few drinks are consumed, the flow of conversation is akin to water, as I’d like to compare it to. I have previously been told by other elderly angemos that chatting with me is a delight, and I am glad to see that these skills of mine prevail with the Voyager. ^^”
He's an absolute gem! I must admit, I felt a tad old-fashioned when he introduced me to the concept of a cat cafe, but our first official meeting at his workplace was an eye-opener. What a delightful and charming place, filled with the playful antics of those adorable creatures! It was then that I discovered my latent affection for them.
What truly sets him apart is his candidness in sharing his myriad of stories. Each meeting is a delightful journey through his experiences, ensuring that boredom never crosses our path. His honesty and the richness of his tales add a unique and captivating flavor to our encounters, making each one a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Voyager!! I've spoken to him a few times, although that was after my sister kept bugging me about meeting him, saying that I'd absolutely get along with him. Granted, she wasn't wrong. We enjoy to spend a little bit of time talking about the on goings around the peak, oh the stories I hear from him!
I've encountered many like Kieryn throughout my long days of serving mortals diligently. In my youth, I too was once naive, shaped by the teachings I received. Witnessing such abhorrent treatment towards the fallen, I cannot condone such actions, especially from beings like us, who are meant to embody heavenly virtues.
While I acknowledge that some may have committed grave errors to find themselves in such a state, I believe that mistakes are inherent to our nature, despite being crafted with the intention of perfection. Kieryn's unwavering stance on this matter is disheartening, for I truly believe that embracing compassion and extending a helping hand to all can lead to a sense of wholeness and peace.
Through my experiences, I've learned that true fulfillment comes from being open-hearted and willing to aid others, regardless of their past transgressions. It is this spirit of empathy and understanding that I strive to embody, for I believe it is the path to true harmony and completeness.
The Voyager's capabilities are nothing to scoff at. He's very good at what he does. It's honestly a shame he's so sympathetic to the Peak's failures. His false hope in redemption of Fallens and lacking Heavenlies is his only flaw in what was an otherwise upstanding and talented Peak employee. Had he not left to fend for those... pathetic Fallens and incompetent Heavenlies, perhaps I would have looked up to him. Failing to do one's duty falls on the shoulders of the one who failed, and no one else. They should have expected the consequences of their own incompetency.
Astarte is a truly captivating individual, one of the most fascinating I've encountered in all my travels. Her voice, like a melody that soothes the soul, is a rare treasure to behold. It carries a warmth that envelops you, drawing you into her world with every word spoken.
Yet, what truly sets her apart is her genuine care and compassion for all, regardless of their pasts or backgrounds. In a place like Peak, where such qualities are often scarce, she shines like a precious gem, a beacon of light and kindness amidst the shadows.
I've also noticed her unwavering determination, a trait that sets her apart. Her eyes gleam with a fierce resolve, ready to face any challenge head-on. It's inspiring to witness someone so resolute in their beliefs and convictions. Her presence is magnetic, drawing others to her with an irresistible pull.
I often find myself in awe of her strong will and determination-- getting clipped by request is no easy feat, wishing I could possess even a fraction of her inner strength. She is a testament to the power of compassion and determination, and we could all learn a great deal from her example~
I wish I had spent more time with the Voyager, but I believe we'll meet again. He's doing such noble work, helping out other Angemos! I must say, retirement must be treating him well~. We do quite similar work, if you think about it. If I had just a little bit more rationality, perhaps I would've just retired like he did? Hahaha~. Although I harbour no hate towards Heavenlies, I don't think I could continue living as one. I truly think that the Voyager is a genuinely kind and loving person. Even Heavenlies need protection and solace. Hmph, thinking about that actually gets me quite angry. Peak ought to start changing their ways, or at least changing their staff! Peak needs more helpful souls like him, clearly they're still lacking quite a lot.
Gambit is a truly intriguing character. When we first crossed paths, he exuded an air of aloofness, keeping his distance. However, as I gradually got to know him better, I discovered a different side to him entirely. Gambit is, without a doubt, one of the sweeter angemos I've had the pleasure of encountering.
Beyond his amiable nature, I've heard whispers of his exceptional skills in chess, coupled with a vast knowledge of the game. Although I haven't had the opportunity to challenge him myself (mainly due to my infrequent forays into the game), I've yet to hear of anyone who has bested him. Perhaps one day, I'll muster the courage to take him on, but until then, I'll content myself with the joy of his company.
Ah, the beach—or should I say, the beaches—are truly magical places. I must agree wholeheartedly. I often find myself drawn to the shore to clear my thoughts or simply to listen to the soothing symphony of the waves, a habit instilled in me by an old friend who introduced me to these natural wonders. It was on one such visit that I had the pleasure of meeting Belén, engrossed in his work. Retirement has its perks, one of the greatest being the luxury of time to engage in conversations with angemos. I have all the time in the world now to listen to their fascinating stories. Belén stands out as a particularly lively and engaging individual. He graciously indulges my penchant for lengthy chats, sharing his enthusiasm for his work and his deep affection for his brother. Hearing about his bond with his sibling warmed my heart. It prompted me to share stories about my own brother, noting the differences in our perspectives—me being the eldest and Belén the younger. Our conversation was a delight, and I look forward to our next encounter. Belén is truly splendid, and I wish him all the best in his endeavors.
There are always such kind people around me!! I love bein' a lifeguard, not only 'cuz I like helping people, but because I get to meet 'em too! Not that I necessarily have to help them first, of course—I jus' like to talk! Especially with people who are just here to relax. I mean, who WOULDN'T relax on a beach?? It's great to come here! I find certain people very charming, too. Especially those who don't get annoyed when I talk a lot, and instead, they talk back to me!!
