🎤 Hello this is the host of Late Night Whispers news segment I'm Kaeya and I'm here for a chat with the talented heavenly angemo Retto! Many of you may know him from his lovely cat cafe which has a wonderful atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a social moment or a private one it's the place to go. I've gotten to talk to him a bit before the segment and turns out. and don't worry I've been given permission to say this, a fact about Retto is he doesn't prefer coffee despite that being such a good seller at his cafe he prefers tea! I found it fun that we had that especially with both of us having high energy jobs you'd think we like a drink to keep us going no🎶 So Retto on the topic of your establishment what changes if any are you considering making there menu or addition wise
Oh establishment changes? Can't think of any unfortunately~ I think I might do some menu adjustments for the upcoming season, I do always do some menu swap outs for every season, right now we have the spring special menu, but I'll probably set staff to be prepared for our summer special menu as per usual! I'm also thinking of making an addition to the normal menu... as a special maybe for a special someone~ I won't say who, or will I?~ On another note, I do have something troubling my mind, so I guess I'll say it if that's okay, right? So to anyone out there, if you see my beloved pookie Kieryn, do tell him hi! He'd probably appreciate it! (He would not) Ahem, anyways, can't say too much more, can I?
Chiwi and Pepper, the owners of... what's the name again? KRKRNKR... oh I can't remember. I think I just tend to say Karanokara... Erm, anyways, it's an interesting place, with somewhat differing siblings... though I can't help but feel there is something wrong...
The pair of siblings known for their bakery KRKRNKRKR... which is quite a popular bakery. They seem like good people! Chiwi is the energetic one of the two, and I think she might get along with my sister? Hm... but my sister did say that something was up there, I wonder what it is.
Oh, Atlas? I think he's kind of a funny guy! I know he socializes with Fallens, but whether or not he knows that I know he socializes with Fallens is beyond me, nor does it matter. It's one thing we have in common, though Atlas handles it differently while I personally openly do so... man, what an experience.
I don’t really talk to Retto, our encounters have been brief. He openly communicates with Fallen and is equally welcoming to their appearance at his cafe as he is to Heavenly… which is rare. Most people have at least some kind of prejudice or bias. He’s a good person, though I do sometimes hear of his eccentric personality…
Miss Inanna... is that how I should refer to her? She is the one known as "Doctor Love" as wild as that could be. They're known to give sound love advice to others, often being quite accurate, but I wonder if my beloved has ever called her before..? (Although I guess he isn't my beloved anymore..? Still would think of him as such honestly.)
Nox is a very interesting guy. Thought he was going to be like the rest, but no, he is just tired. He seems like he doesn't care but I can tell he certainly does care, he also at least doesn't try to hide that fact either. Nox sure does have an interesting dragon ghost, I try to not be too loud but Fire is another story... Oh did I mention he likes to hear my stories of bugging Kieryn, hehe.
His coffee is a must have before going out to do my job.
Other than that, Retto and his sister give my buddy, Blud some nice company.
Could do with just a little more quiet but as long as I can nap, he and Fire aren't that bad.
Nox is funn!!!!! He is very fun!! I do have information on him, but it's mostly due to him asking for a raise or extended leave due to stress, so nothing really all that significant. I don't think I'd ever reveal that though, nor would it matter if I did. I do have a lot of fun!! I like running around Blud a lot when I go to visit Nox's island!!!
Loud but I don't mind. Firecr4kr is one of the many Fallens that visit my island that Blud likes for her energy.
Habit has me keeping an eye on her, that influencer business will crop up some enemies soon enough, I'd rather not have the other get hurt if one of them tries retaliating.
Not that she knows I'm looking out for her, I'm just making sure the trouble doesn't end up on my island... [This is a lie. Nox believes it but he's a little oblivious with his thoughts]
"Asura has helped me out a lot haha... especially when I was younger. I feel close to her, like she is a mom to me. That shouldn't be all that surprising considering how my sister sees her, huh? I guess things never change, hehe~"
“ Retto is probably one of the nicest heavenlys I’ve met, and that’s including my friends and friends of friends.. Very “sweet” and makes really good coffee! With cream. and sugar.. Anywho, I’d like to say we have somewhat of friendly completion ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ I don’t actually care to outsell him. I think his theme is interesting, as a cat himself!! ≽^•༚• ྀི≼ ”
Me and Yvette have a little bit of friendly competition, but it's all fun honestly! I guess we get along mainly due to our somewhat similar jobs. Makes sense to me, no?
Condena is an individual who is fairly mysterious. I assume basically no one besides the higher ups at the peak knows much about their identity. While the punishment of those who have failed their mortals are in their hands, I can't help but feel like it's more of feeling like a duty than anything else, while not really caring at all about the details... I never know what is going on with them, let alone ever really see them.
Ace! Ace is fun, like so fun haha. I think my brother would feel nervous around him, but really only because of the fire, but he is a good guy!!! Don't know if he likes donuts but Harrison has me take donuts to him, something about friendship or something. Anyways, I'm glad that it seems we both were able to move on from our falls and go on with bigger opportunities!
"She's a sweet kid! Her energy is nice change compared to other angemos her age. I honestly look forward to greeting her when we come across each other!" Ace has good opinions of Mariam and often bonds with her over both being fallens. Sometimes though he feels a little bad that she suffered the same fate many others have...But she doesn't seem to mind so he keeps his thoughts to himself on that matter.
Koa is Ruffian's boyfriend. That's all I really know of Koa. He seems to just freely existing, and I do come by with donuts, despite Ruffian's grumpy nature with my arrival... I do hope Koa is doing fine, since Ruffian can be a difficult person. Ah, though I do also like to give Koa some plants he could take care of, it is beyond me of what happens though...
I've seen him come by sometimes! He's also usually with that super gloomy looking Fallen! I heard from Ruffy that they're dating. So they're just like us! Or... was haha.
"Wow... he'd very cool... Does that really sound insincere? I do apologize... can't really express my emotions well haha. While he would be someone I'd call eccentric, I don't think that's a bad thing. Besides, I do enjoy hearing about the end of his mortal's fate, as it always tends to be the mortal in question dying in battle. Very fun to hear about, just a bit of excitement that I always am in for."
"Harrison is great. On the rare occasion I see him smile, so subtly that I am convinced he doesn't notice himself, when I tell him of one of my tales- It does feel very encouraging, yes. It's people like him that keep me going, all credit due to my indomitable passion and spirit."
I still love Koa, don't get me wrong... but it is awkward with us living together again... but at least we're friends, right? That's all that mattered in the end, that we could still be friends... I do miss hugging him but I don't want to overstep any boundaries...
I still love Ruffy a lot! Although... nowadays it feels kind of weird, cuz I really miss when Ruffy would kiss and touch me. It's almost like I'm some kind of nasty bug he wants to avoid! Ermm... Maybe not. Still, even without being suuuper lovey dovey, I hope he can spare a little bit of time for me now.
Unfortunately, we get along. Much like the man of the moss, Nymphaea views both Heavenly and Fallen as equals, even if the system we live in doesn't hold such a belief up, and tends to encourage the opposite. While I can appreciate the fact that she will allow me to come join her for tea, it's certainly not my favorite endeavor over writing poetry about the likely future of this damned place. I think my beloved might enjoy being around her as well, however.
"ah, my poet.. friend-acquaintance? I'm not sure what we are.." -💜- Nymphaea views Ruffian with respect and understanding, their shared views have landed him in her good books. She has taken an interest to his poetry, though hasn't actually seen much of it. Though she has a bit of an optimistic view on the future, hoping for change, she actually finds Ruffian's cynicism refreshing. She was quite spooked the first time she witnessed his head come off, and attempted to give him her healing tea. She's still embarrassed about the misunderstanding.
YAYYY NYMPH!!! She's so fun, like very fun. I do like to tell her about what is going on with many Angemos, since I'm kind of known for that, and she seems to enjoy hearing about all the little details! My brother tells me though I should try to be little bit more calm, but I can't help but go zoom zoom around!
"Ah, Fire.. I'm quite fond of her energy." -💜- Nymphaea's day is always brightened when she listens to Firecr4kr's ramblings, showing genuine interest in everything she says. Whenever genuine dirt is mentioned about other angemo's, Nymph secretly writes it down just in case.. Firecr4ckr can be a very useful friend when it comes to information like that. Instead of her usual drinks, she'll serve her excitable friend strawberry soda in a teacup.
Tut tut tut this one is nothing but a charmer!! But he does make a mean coffee so can't knock him too much. I'm not the biggest cat person but the ones at his place are FAR too precious. If I could find a cat who had no issues waking up early and going a few rounds around town I'd surely adopt them and I believe I may find just that cat at his place! Overall he's quite the business owner I think a cross over between our businesses would be LEGENDARY!!! I'm thinkin Love Cats Hotline where cats can be adopted or donated so they can go to lovely homes I'll be sure ta pitch it to him my next time over
Inanna is a very good person! I respect her choice of helping others out with love. I've considered calling once or twice, but I figured the time would just come for me. I don't think I'd need it at this very moment hehe. Their orders are among some of my favorites to do, and I don't want to ever mess it up though, so I always end up taking up the job to do it. It seems that she likes the cats around as well~
AH RETTO! He's the one who runs the cool cat Cafe all my classmates keeping talking about. They raved on and on about it so much the school became practically obsessed and it became the go to. As I am typically the runner for snacks and drinks for the student counsel I've had to go there on many occasions and I really enjoy the atmospheric and colors!!! Sadly I'm not too much a cat person but the little kitties are just adorable so I don't mind them one bit! I have nearly tripped over some though and I can never tell if it's fully my fault or not they're just so silent!!
Atsuko is quite a diligent young girl, even if clumsy at times. She does her best to stay on her feet though haha. I heard the Academy enjoys my cafe a lot, really makes you wonder. I do enjoy getting everything set for the students there, and it's nice to hear that they're all still going. Many guardians means more time for me to relax.... right? Ahem, anyways, it's always nice to see Atsuko, I'm tempted to see if I can write down everyone's orders to memorize them to lessen downtime...
I don't know much about Ristretto, but.... he seems... friendly enough...? I feel like... I've seen him a few times.... with Kieryn..? I wonder what their relationship is...
While I've only spoken to Yurias once or twice during our years in the academy, I do feel bad for him. I always welcome him and his boyfriend whenever they come in, even if that's a rarity and they come in on slower days. Nevertheless, it's still a little surprising to see how Yurias has changed so much...
“A charming angemo who’s visited my store with his energetic younger sister! They’re certainly an endearing pair of siblings, they lit up the building right as they walked in! Regarding Ristretto, he was certainly one for delightful conversation, I even ended up learning that he works at a cat cafe! I’ve never actually been to a cat cafe before, but I have experience when it comes to working at cafes in general. If I clear up my schedule, maybe I can take Uri along with me and stop by, I’m sure he could use the experience!” (=^・ω・^=)
Layla is someone I met by chance! Firecr4kr was dragging me around, and despite not feeling like working today, I did want to see what she had for me. She actually brought me to a bookshop, something that's unusual for her. Alas, there was a book she was really interested in, but I couldn't help but smell something sweet. Turns out it was the kind clerk, Layla. It turns out our jobs were quite similar, and we got along quite nicely, Firecr4kr got a book she wanted!
I've heard of MO from my little sister, and it seems they have a lot of fun together. It's nice that she has found friends to "play" with. She also wants me to formally meet MO, so hopefully that'll be soon... or tomorrow? I don't have work that day.
Our interactions, albeit limited, primarily revolved around discussions regarding his sister. I find his evident concern for her well-being endearing. Additionally, it peaked my curiosity that despite the prevailing notion that he harbors a disdain for angemos like myself, he has never displayed any overt rudeness towards me. It's intriguing, as my demeanor has often been misconstrued as "stuck up" by many.
The Abstract Evangelist is an interesting person. My sister seems to like him, although she usually wouldn't like people like him. Well, I guess he showed her kindness that she usually wasn't shown, huh?
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!
So, I stumbled upon this cafe labeled as a cat cafe, and I must confess, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I thought it was some kind of fancy coffee flavour or something. Little did I know, as soon as I stepped inside, I was bombarded by a bunch of tiny, fuzzy creatures. I wasn't quite sure what to make of them – were they gemonos without wings?
Before I could even muster a greeting, they all seemed to scatter and dart away from me. It was a bit disheartening, to say the least. Despite the efforts of one of the staff members to coax them back, they remained aloof. Oh well, at least I managed to snag a cup of coffee for my troubles. But I can't say I'd be rushing back anytime soon, given that I clearly wasn't the most welcome guest at that place… 💔
Macabre seemed lost, as he wandered into my Cafe one time. What's funny is that when he did come in, all the cats came and ran to him, just to sniff him, and then quickly dispersed. I couldn't help but laugh a little at the funny display, cats sure are interesting creatures, right? O-Oh, right, I did ask him if he needed anything, I did end up offering to make him a coffee as compensation for the cats, even if they weren't much of a bother. Maybe he'll come by another day.
