"I might say that such beauty is wasted on a man who locks himself away in an office and lacks a sense of self, but the Chairman's face suits him more than anyone else. A melancholy and ephemeral beauty, who refuses to admit we are friends despite the fact that no one else gives him birthday gifts. But I will get him to come around soon, I am confident!"
"Madame Duchenne is a puzzling figure to me. She admires my female operatives in a way that crosses the line of professionalism, but she is at liberty to do so anywhere she pleases. And yet, she insists on traveling to Lethe Headquarters to discuss job contracts, underground movements, and her outfit ideas. We both hold no illusions about how busy we both are, so I wonder why she does it, and why she keeps trying to convert my office into a greenhouse."
"It's kinda funny, that flawless and chivalrous prince image that Cerule likes to project, the older brother does it even better with no effort whatsoever? But if I said that out loud I'd be subjected to the biggest fit ever, so I'll keep my mouth shut. We're not allies or enemies, but I'm glad that Rhein is the way he is, because he could be so much worse. He's terrifyingly good at running a huge organization, so it'd be nice to get pointers from him. And maybe help repair the decade-long rift between two estranged brothers, or something."
"I have always been curious about the human who domesticated my younger brother. There would be a simple beauty in an average and unremarkable human befriending a supernatural oddity, but even one as inexperienced with humans as I can see that this girl is far from normal. I do wonder to what lengths she truly would go to for the sake of my brother. I hope to live long enough to see them."
“He is as much of my brother as the other one is, so I thought it fit to let him free and live a life as well. How fortunate that he has found a home, companions, and even a lover. How unfortunate that his nature drives him to the flames of conflict that would set everything alight. I care for my brother more than I care for my father. But if it came down to him versus the world or my organization... well, I suppose my position makes me the one who must make difficult decisions.”
“Raindrop is lovely in his own right too! Features cut from marble, a noble figure, a decisive personality, it’s enough to make any maiden’s heart flutter. But, as a minus point, he doesn’t make very appealing expressions. All in all... he’s a bit hollow, and less fun to play with than Lulu. Plus, when I played with him, he broke so completely it was rather tedious putting him back together. But he’s an okay backup husband!”
“For all the grief my brother gives me, I am grateful he is the more flamboyantly colored sibling and has thus attracted the attention of this girl. She’s somewhat manageable when Cerule is watching her, who she treats with a fair bit more deference than she would a regular human Agent... but alas, she is a problem that must be dealt with eventually.”
"I can't get along with this guy, no matter what happens. I guess he's fairly capable and not the worst, but... ugh. I would like to talk about something, anything else, please."
"Few existences force me to introspect about my life as much as his does. I find myself acting illogically when I am exposed to him for too long, and yet I can't bring myself to cut him off entirely. Is this the alleged effects of 'brotherhood?' I don't enjoy it, honestly."
"Sorceror! Is there any worldly or spiritual delight that you may seek to partake in today? As a fellow harbinger of humanity's doom, it is imperative that I defend our alliance! Simply state your desires and I shall use these dark powers to make them reality!"
"Oh, good morning, Ramiel. You're very lively for five in the morning. I must commend your dedication to the demonic cause. How does breakfast in my office sound? I do believe Rooster has waffles planned for the menu today."
"I think we can all admit how Freaking Weird it is that the mind of an entire grown man is in the body of a young girl of all things, but Bryan's a good person! I'll do whatever I can to help. Better me than some poor man who didn't ask for this needlessly endanger himself."
"Audrey's a good kid. She knows a lot more about tech and is connected to people who would be able to help me, so I'm grateful she's on my side. But... doesn't she got family that worries about her? When I was her age I was trying to start a band, not getting into gunfights with thugs and raiding government facilities. Maybe I'm just too old..."
"Ian says and does some really outrageous things, but every day with him is fun."
“Darcy is, heheheh, hehe, heh.. that’s my girlfriend, you know? A girl that smart and lovely is the girlfriend of me, Ian! Anything her heart may desire, I’ll tear apart the earth to obtain! Nothing is too lofty or impossible ✨ What’s that, a pound of gruyere and a head of cauliflower on my way home? Your wish is my command!”
"We rarely deal with each other, as our Leader Dearest is the one who corresponds with him directly. Which is a relief, because I don't think I'd have the emotional energy to see past all the doublespeak and smirking to get work done."
"With no offense to Ariel, anyone paying attention can see that the young sir right here is the true mastermind behind his faction's success. And he's something of a catch himself, if he would deign to leave the dungeon of his office sometimes.”
"A knight conscripted out of necessity, both master and servant lacking the agency to truly refuse. I feel guilty for putting a someone so purely human through all of this, but the alternative... true immortality like this is a curse that saps away your humanity. I would be happy if we could be friends, but that's far too greedy for someone who has demanded so much from him already."
"I didn't ask to be her servant for eternity, but nobody asked her to bear the burden of all humans, so I guess neither of us is a winner here. She's very much... what someone would want in a goddess that watches over the universe, I guess. A handful, but it's a blissful kind of frustration, dealing with this girl."
"There is a MELANGE of attractive options at my foolish best friend's disposal, but she goes for the weird immortal that targets young women and steals their souls. God, I hate her so much sometimes. Just date Sterling or the fox, you weirdo."
"Frankly put, I dislike Monsieur Giles. Yet, his continued existence is key when it comes to maintaining this world's stability. Not to mention that he has worked his way into the good graces of many people dear to me... so I view him as a necessary evil. Like puberty and tax audits."
How deplorable. Their existence, it both saddens and disgusts us. A woman of good, bearing upon acts so evil. Someone so conscious of their actions isn't worth pity. Yet everyone of our subjects is worth redeeming, no matter how lost. But...yes, she is correct, the fault is surely ours for the state of that child. Truly, she is so lonely, to have to rely on you...Our forgiveness will never be enough, so we hope our actions might.
"Objectively speaking, her existence is a huge net positive in this world. I can respect that. Personally? Not a fan. The moral superiority, the judgment onto others... it all reminds me of someone I knew once. It's vexing. A mile in someone else's shoes, and all that. Guess I prefer my heroes more human than not."
“Vi makes me feel privileged to be a mother. She’s so kind, smart, and beautiful... I sometimes wonder how she came from me! She definitely takes after her father, though... cool, graceful, and follows a pink-haired Aviyt like she’s in love. How very cute! My daughter is the cutest.”
"Mama is the smartest, wisest, prettiest person I know. She never cracks, even when bar patrons are pushy or when someone decides it's smart to start a gunfight. But I wonder if she has anyone to confide in when she isn't feeling her best... I want to become mature and cool enough to become that person for her."
"Darcy is, well, she's probably too good for the likes of me. Over the years I've grown to appreciate how extraordinarily easy to love she is. There is no feeling more reassuring than knowing that someone will unconditionally accept you, even if you've torn their life apart. A kind word whispered in the ear, a warm embrace. She’s a hero saving people in her quiet, understated way. I don’t know how she tolerates me... I’m never around, and when I am, I usually bring home problems and curses... not to mention, all that existential witch business... wait, why DOES she put up with all that?”
"Oh, we've certainly clashed in the past. I regret a lot. Cerule's seen the darkest and ugliest that I can be, and he did not recoil from it. The least I could do to atone for all that was to be there for him in the years following Ariel's passing... and well, more years passed after that and he never left. Our lives have grown into shapes that fit into each other perfectly. And, well... I'm very satisfied with that, teehee."
“Auri is my more book-smart daughter, but Vi is scarily perceptive. In some ways she’s harder to fool than Auri. She definitely gets it from Darcy, haha... I’m really glad she’s had the chance to grow up happy and healthy. I only hope she continues to do so... I don’t want to lose anyone else I love.”
"He's a dork. I don't really know what Mama saw in him when they were younger, maybe he was cool then? But he tries his best and he's not a bad dad. He even cried when I took his last name..."
"What a fucking mess. Every time he tells me about what's happened recently I'm like, 'that's the saddest shit I've heard in my life,' like literally every time. He's alright unless he's in one of his bitch moods. Better stay away from my brother though."
"Julietta is foul-mouthed and abrasive, but in the manner of an ornery uncle. She rarely makes an effort to get along with others, which has caused... damage, in the past, but I do think it's quite refreshing. For some reason she does think I hold a candle for her brother, even though I am merely a patron of their business. That's an overprotective sibling for you, though."
"He's one of this world's unsung saviors, and he's shockingly bitchy for someone who's volunteered for what I'd call a noble undertaking. However, he's got a good heart, so I'm not worried about that. Does he have a strong heart? Not really. But I don't mind helping through the times of emotional strife."
"While I have no clue as to why she chose to open our relationship with a wagonload of vague philosophical statements and sexual harassment, she's become a steadfast and reliable friend over the years. My favorite aspect of hers is her lack of judgment, she's all around a great listener. But with how that master of hers feels about me, it feels like... friend Romeo and Juliet."
"Is he particularly useful or special? You know, /I/ could cause a cataclysmic world-ending event if I wanted to, too. I just don't want to right now. No, I'm not sore about being replaced... why would I feel something like that?"
“So this is the treasure which milord seeks to covet above all else... ‘tis not a servant’s place to comment on his master’s proclivities, so this lowly one will support her in her quest to capture this overly flamboyant bird.”
"As a fellow composed, well-dressed French youth with a love for theatrics, I find our time spent together therapeutic. Not to mention, I am privileged to see extremely beautiful women whenever I am in his vicinity. Monsieur Giles attracts them like no other, how enviable!"
"Duchenne is inordinately creepy and aggravating, but I must admit there is something reassuring about her presence. Which makes no sense, as I've seen her commit heinous acts for the sake of convenience, and when I've done them on her behalf as well. But we get along, for some reason."
"She's a very average, kind person. I mean that in the most complimentary way. She doesn't deserve any of the misfortunes fate has piled on her, and yet she finds a way to remain compassionate through it all. It's enviable. And... I don't know how to act around her when much of that misfortune is my fault."
“...The feeling in my heart, burning in my throat and clawing in my chest. It’s resentment, it’s hatred, it’s ugly. I don’t want to feel this way towards him. He claims what he did was to protect the public, but to me, he killed the person I love most. I know hatred is a choice, and I can choose to be kind, but maybe this is the limit of my kindness. Maybe I’m not as good as I thought I was. Please... give me time. I would like to be alone.”
"His face reminds me of Ramiel, and yet this unsettling feeling from the top of my head to the tips of my toes... it's familiarity. It's yearning. I don't understand it."
"Foooound you."
Eden, what a troublesome adversary...tch, how typical of that witch, hiring others to do her dirty work. Mine dark powers can only take me so far against such a capable opponent, but be that as it may, whether it's an army, an assassin, or the forces of all Inferno and Paradiso themselves, nothing will stand in the way of my revenge. If ye not move, fair rose bearing thorns, I will smite you as I have the rest.
"This kid's life is some of the saddest shit I've seen. Someone like this should be getting bullied for doing Shakespeare reenactments, not plotting the murder of another person. I'm not going to let myself or Valentina get killed by him, that disgusting book, or anyone else on this godforsaken hellhole, but damn. What a pitiful timeline we've ended up in."
"She's kind of a goober, and hardly my dream employer, but work is work. I suppose nobody on this island is a perfect saint. Not even that Angel woman, and the proof is what signs my paystubs. Well, at least she's not a kid toucher or anything, that's a shoot on sight."
Isn't a girl like her the creme of the crop? Someone so devoted to the light, having fallen so far into the darkness, haaaaaa~ Just thinking about it excites us, it's a pity that for how much we adore her she seems to think anything but of us. No matter, she's a professional, so no matter how much she fails to respect us, she'll accomplish whatever job we give her as long as her pay is met and it meets her moral standards. We truly do respect that attitude of hers, though it does only sadden us further that she refuses to be ours.
