An intriguingly divine character indeed... I’ve always wondered, is witnessing a plucking akin to jury duty—an obligation, or can one sign up? While I’m very intrigued by such matters, I must confess... does such a sensation tickle or does one scream at such a feeling..? Since Condena is the main executioner, I presume they have responsibilities of knowing who threw the spoon (haha) to the corner, so to speak. Was I one of those who were plucked but left unfinished? I may not know much, but those who get plucked usually fall completely… I’ve stared into that eye once, though I don't recall why... Hm, just thinking of them seems to derail my thoughts. Perhaps I should meander on to my… evening activities. Čudan čovjek, zbogom... (a solemn goodbye to this peculiar individual)
“I usually try to stay away from angemos like him, it would be silly to put myself in trouble, but I think that Mihr is nice, so it should be okay to stick around him. I’ve seen him a few times while he was patrolling Peak prior to first talking to him, but I never stuck around long. I wouldn’t have guessed that I’d end up getting friendly with him at all.. I always think that he’d end up declining to walk around Peak with me. I guess, I’m happy that he does, I like hearing about what he sees and does while he’s out patrolling, and I ended up learning a bit about flowers while we’re at it, not that I ever knew much about them anyway. Spike and Styx seem to like him too, so I don’t think it’ll be bad to stick around him.. not bad at all..”
Sure, I'll take the hardworking Angemos any day, but the mess they leave behind is another story. As long as they get the job done, I don't really care. But it's those people who disappear from work for an extended period who really get under my skin. Now, that's something worth paying attention to.
"I like Roche well enough...I do a lot of his paperwork when he's overwhelmed and since I like writing. It's no issue for me...however he seems bothered by my frequent need to just...slightly bring up issues. I think he's this close to snapping my neck with his mind...maybe doing more paperwork will soothe that over..."
I SUPPOSE you could say I click better with people who share my level of work and patience (which is little). But let's be real, I'm not exactly a social butterfly anyway. If he just had a better memory, he'd be a bit easier to deal with. But what can you do?
"Constantine.. it is truly such a shame our fellow angemos does not realize the necessary evil which is paperwork...", "thankfully there is angemos like us to do such tedious tasks.. oh how they'd have a fit in our absence, if we ever took any." - Anton can probably relate to Constantine, due to the fact he is also rather sensitive and easy to agitated, hiding behind his pride and arrogance, coming off as an asshole.. also a diligent worker(who refuses to admit he actually enjoys paperwork and overworking himself) - Respects Constantine, does not pity
Belén? oh OH!! he's such a delight to be around I love bumping into him when I'm out and about! we could talk for hours on end about anything it's so funn!! sometimes Narvi has to drag me away... haha! I need to bother him sometimes he's great to talk too!! I do hope he's holding up alright.
I love makin' new friends!! I have many friends...!! I think so... Ah, yeah, one of my new friends is a very kind Angemo called Caspian!! We talk a lot, like, a lot-lot!! We talk for hours 'n' hours... Does it bother me? Of course not, we talk about literally anything 'n' it's really fabulous! I think talking is an awesome skill like any other!
"I met Belen at the beach on a field trip day! I feel so bad!!! The children weren't behaving too well and he had to help many near drowning incidents--" Lazlo sighed, "So in return! I started bringing him cookies every Saturday...and any future field trips will be paid off well for the troubles...Though! I heard Belen is quite nice from other beach goers! So maybe I will try to make friends with him!!"
—Belen is happily whistling some melody— I like when people talk to me!! I also like when there's people on the beach, lots of 'em! Though it makes my job a liiiiittle harder, havin' to take care of everyone, y'know?... But no matter! For example, there is a kindergarten (Was it kindergarten...?) teacher who comes every Saturday 'n' talks to me and brings sum' things!! Especially food, I love food! So it doesn't bother me!!
“I’ve found myself visiting beaches often, even when I’m not watching over my mortal. I’ve been particularly going to this certain beach, as I’ve befriended the lifeguard on duty, Belén. After a few encounters, he seemed to use his free time to talk to me. While I didn’t expect him to even speak with me, I do find him endearing to be around. He always has something to say, it’s almost relaxing to hear someone talk so cheerfully. More recently, we’ve been going to a nearby snack bar to get popsicles and smoothies, though he gets a lot more than I do. He even buys some for me at times, it sort of rattles me but I’m thankful regardless. He’s very kind to me, I wish him well and await my next visit to the beach!” ⸜( *ˊᵕˋ* )⸝
Oh, Belén. A friendly fellow, I met him when he was in a little bind and helped a little. I've started to frequent the beaches he tends to work at as during off work hours, sometimes we end up exercising together.
I need to ask more about his favorite drinks, the snacks we trade are good but the Peak Summer is only getting hotter, he could use some cold beverages.
Do ya know what else I like more than training? Training with someone! Haven't ya tried it? It's just lots of fun, 'n' if there's talk 'n' snacks involved, even better! What more could I ask for?? The sun is gettin' hotter at Peak but I ain't gonna to let that ruin my routine!... I-I also appreciate people helpin' with the halo problem...
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!!
Oh, ah've always wanted to try swimmin'! Since ah spend most of mah time indoors, ah figured since ah got a couple days off durin' the summer, ah'd go for a swim! To be honest, ah think ah might've passed out as soon as ah hit the water, but when ah woke up, there was a kind lifeguard who had pulled me out. Turns out, his name is Belén, and he told me of the dangers of goin' to such deep waters with no experience. Ah recognized the name from his mail, he's got a pretty amazin' brother too! While ah didn't end up learnin' to swim too good that day, it was a day to remember with such a kind angemo.
Ay, there are so many people who don't know how to swim 'n' yet like to come to the beach anyway. I mean, YEAH!! The ocean is beautiful 'n' swimming in it is a unique experience, but it is as beautiful as it is dangerous! It's a shame to see people get so excited about it 'n' then they end up drownin'... That's where I'm going, of course! Though it doesn't bother me, I really can't blame 'em for trying... I just hope they can experience it when they learn!
I'd much rather not be preoccupied with trivial nonsense. Chit-chat and socializing are a waste of time and only serve to slow down my productivity. I've tried it before, and the result was inevitable: Extra work and overtime. So now, I've decided to stay out of the loop and shut myself in my office. I only emerge from my confinement when absolutely necessary. But if I'm being honest, I can't help but wonder if avoiding social interactions comes at the cost of missing out on important events and experiences... Eh.
The Doc, Constantine? He's a good fellow, at least in my opinion. He may not like to be bothered but there's often more than meets the eye to outsiders, I bet he's got a lot of fine skills he keeps to himself. Although I've only ever seen him once or twice, and what I've heard was from mouth to mouth, I'm pretty fond of the guy. If given the chance... I think I'd be fine with giving him a hug. And maybe some melatonin. I think he needs it.
I wonder if he likes cooking... Perhaps he'd enjoy a food gift of some kind, tea, maybe.
It's a pity that fear takes precedence over effective treatment. Do they really think I'd inflict harm during an operation? They have such little understanding of my methods and intentions.
"Klavier!! What a charming man, however, as useful as any other doctor when it comes to my condition. There was a time I saw him for it but he suggested cutting my wings open!! The audacity of some people these days..." Gil tched, leaning back in his chair. "We get along well actually...despite the cutting open suggestion. He's charming and while I'll consider myself charming as well! Though he's more flamboyant than I. He also suffers from his own...setback. I guess that's a comfort when I see him...I think we're friends but don't hold me too it! Haha!!"
Owing me a debt? The last thing I need right now is for people to start extending me invitations to their homes as a Thank You. What could they possibly want from me?
I owe him a debt I could only dream of paying back. Klavier did something for me that I don't think he truly understands how much it meant but that's alright. I'll pay it back all the same.
What is that saying again? 'Strange people go together.' Well, that's definitely not a statement I completely resonate with. I don't appreciate people making assumptions about me, but then again, how can I hold it against them when they don't even know my name? It's a situation of mutual ignorance, I guess you could say.
"Klavier is a weird individual, to say the least. Is he weirder than I am? Probably, only due to him being an abnormality. Nevertheless... he seems to answer my medical relation questions... which honestly mostly comes down to me asking as for why my light levels are higher than one might expect... hm." Ruffian says, as he casually flips through a weird book in a weird basement.
As much as I appreciate the respectful behavior of my patients, I can't help but feel slightly unsettled by how easily people have been trusting me lately. There's an eerie sense that something unusual has happened to them that I can't quite put my finger on.
Klavier? OH! you mean the Doctor that fixed my arms and legs? OH he's so nice!! I quite like the checkups when I have to go! sense my body is stitched up funny!! I love to bring him things when I Cann!! I picked it up from Bova! I hope I can be fully healed in a few months. that reminds me i need to call for another checkup!! :)
“I feel ashamed looking back on how this initially occurred, but I am grateful to Klavier for remaining kind to me. I can blame my irrationality on being panicked about myself, but it doesn’t change that I still broke into his clinic when it was closed up.. He was very understanding though! I’m not sure if I would even be as understanding as he was in his position, so I’m immensely thankful for the kindness he shows. I really just needed someone who could understand what was happening to me, I was at a complete loss on what to do with myself. Even just general sentiments regarding living as an abnormality helped, I would’ve never thought he would offer any sort of actual help.. Not that I’m blaming him for this, I get that it’ll take a while for him to complete his check-up, but I can’t bring myself to mention my “quick fixes” that I end up doing. To think that there’s someone other than me willing to put in time to figure out what’s happened to me, it’s just— ahh..” 。°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°。
This charming young gentleman is none other than Boss's younger brother! Oh, he's quite a handsome one, but it seems his clumsiness often gets the better of him. Nonetheless, his heart shines brilliantly, and there's no denying that it's one of his most endearing qualities.
There is sum' weird doctor who visits my brother almost every day, at first he scared the hell outta me 'cuz he was tall 'n' scary 'n' all that jazz, but he was quite nice!! Besides, if Roché trusts him, then so do I!! Though he keeps calling me "jīn xīn" (金心) or somethin', what does that even mean?? Is it bad??
That foolish boy. Every time he comes to visit, he ends up losing his way around the apartment. Of course it annoys me that he barges into my office without notice, acting like he owns the place. It's downright inappropriate. But I must admit, his presence does make my work life a bit more tolerable. I'd do anything for that idiot, and then some. Pendejo bobo.
OH, OH, ROCHÉ IS MY BROTHER IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNEW!! Oh my gosh, there are so many things I would like to talk 'n' tell about him and I, we have been thru' a lot together, I owe him so much! He pretends to be annoyed when I visit him at work every day, but I know he's not, nah, I know him better than tha'. Besides, who else will brin' him lunch when he forgets about it?! Viejo amargado 🤭
