Return to Tokyo-D
[ You step through the portal into a place where black coats your vision— a solid, glossy coating of darkness that blocks out all light. For a moment, it is as though you've been been blindfolded, and all light is lost from your reach.
The light does not return.
But colors, in impossible neon hues hew through the dark and spangle newly across your vision. The city is drenched in kaleidoscopic light, the skyscrapers spiral to the heavens. At street level, it is Tokyo. Above that, stars move out of their orbits in dizzying motions. Other forms crowd the street with you— shiloettes of people drained of all their colors like it's bled into the city instead move about, not quite tangible but still giving off body heat. Monochrome figures also move through the crowd, a few demons, and
One demon that maybe some of you will recognize? Or not?
There's a girl with big puffy pigtails in full color with a bag full of groceries slung across her shoulder, heading somewhere. ]

This way! The production office is super busy lately, so we shouldn't get too much attention.

she feels like she's falling for a moment, but when she opens her eyes she's in an office in one of the Tokyo-D high-rises, judging from the view outside the window. it's a room with a decent amount of desks, one of them belonging to exael's. You can tell by the paperwork piled up with her name on it, though she's definitely not the only one with paperwork undone. ]
Ta-dah! That was the disappearing and reappearing ladies trick!
