"Just kinda tired," Natalie admitted when Dom asked her how she was doing. "I think the day is finally starting to catch up with me!"
Nora was explaining that some of the pastries were time-sensitive and that she couldn't leave the kitchen while making them. Then Nora said that Moo had taken his time getting to the point of proposing to Julie...and told Natalie that knowing Moo's real name wouldn't help her find anything on his past.
"Well," Natalie replied with a grin, "it's more than I knew before! And that's a start, right? Plus it was just--I dunno--kind of a surprise when he just said his full name like that. He always struck me as somebody whose real name you NEVER get to find out!" She laughed.
"Well, you guys," she continued, stifling a yawn as she turned to address both Nora and Dom, "I think it's time for me to call it a night! I've been up since ridiculously early this morning, and even with the mocha, I can hardly keep my eyes open! Good night, and I'll see you guys tomorrow!"
She waved good night as she headed up the stairs, and once she was locked in her room, she shook her head to keep herself awake as she began her nightly missive to the Agency. There was much to include, and she hoped she'd remember it all...
Lengthy report tonight, as today has been eventful. Cafe has several new customers. Two are human, and I never did get a chance to learn their names, but I am hoping to learn them tomorrow. The third, one Wullf Maximas by name, is of unknown origin, as he wears leather gloves and a cloak with a hood that completely hides his features. He is, however, extremely tall. He also carries on his person symbols of various animals, and something he told me (more details later) suggests that he might have the power to grant wishes. The fourth customer is an angel named Sheard. He is very polite and struck up a conversation with one of the human customers. Another customer, a dark elf named Dominic, has become a regular customer over the past week or so, coming in every day. He plays bass guitar and seems willing to interact with all manners of people regardless of background.
Also of note on the "patrons" front is the fact that a little while ago, a deer ran into the cafe, chased by Nexcoyotl. He herded the deer out of the cafe, killed it, and then brought it inside. Dominic helped Nexcoyotl with carrying the deer, and Nexcoyotl just left the cafe with the carcass a few minutes ago.
Further bulletins on patrons as events warrant.
In news about the cafe staff, there is a major development concerning Moo: tonight Moo proposed to general manager Julie James, and that he revealed his full name: Mills Octavius Olo. So perhaps this will help in our ongoing mission to learn more about him and his non-cafe-related activities. Also related to this piece of news is that Wulff asked me if I knew how to convey his congratulations to the couple, as well as his offer of a wish. The wording was just unclear enough that I am not quite sure if he is referring to the ability to grant wishes or if he wishes to give the couple something akin to a traditional blessing.
Also, today I asked Nora Sylph if she has been able to perform the maintenance on Molly's ring that she said she had been planning to do. She did not get the chance to answer me, however, because a mysterious girl by the name of Lina Ai came to me with information regarding the abduction of Lily Parks and her friends. She informed me that the victims, being half android, can be controlled by a tiny chip, of which she showed me an enlarged picture. She also informed me that the manufacturer of these chips is a private company, and its owners are the ones responsible for the abductions. She told me that the victims are being held captive in the holding cell that once housed Irregular, a former life of Len, and bound in the same manner in which he was kept. The exact location of the cell, however, is unknown by Lina.
In addition to this news, Lina was also able to tell me many things about myself, including my true occupation and the fact that I was speculating, due to the reddish color of her eyes, if she might somehow be related to Molly. She referred to Molly by name (Molly and May) in this statement, and she revealed that she can read minds. She claims to be a privileged messenger of Memory from the world of Memorallia, that she is on no one's side but God's, and that she did not know much about Moo except that he is occasionally believed to be from Memory as well. I do not know if or when she will return, nor how much she knows about other items--such as my blood or the Compass of Man, but I wanted to apprise you of the situation in as much detail as possible.

The report done, Natalie got ready for bed, and, exhausted, fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
((Off Of Covert-ops: Good night, everybody! Bedtime for me! I'm so sleepy!
