Return to Tokyo-D

[opening_act]

[ 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. ]

Haha, I guessed as much! You can call me Lily, of BARiTONES. [holds her hand out for a shake]

[letgrow]

[Blinks, but takes her hand]

With a name like Lily, I'm surprised you didn't wind up with us.

[failedsafe]

[CR CHEEEECK give me the rundown pls

but her handshake is nice and not too firm.]

Yeah, haha, I was wondering if you guys would sue, or something, and what that might entail in Hell. It is short for something else, but I dunno if I should say it while we're here? Hm.

[Strong CR influences from the other Ao No's, Pink and Q, with ties to all of Lillis, especially John, as well as some of Bad End and Alcheme. All her ties seem pretty clean and tidy. A little of her Lilis cr is "complicated", but for the most part her cr is tidy and positive]

Does it begin with Lil and end with ith?

[failedsafe]

Sure does! That and "Kiss" it's a cocktail.

[letgrow]

Ah, right, that's your theme isn't it?

[failedsafe]

Yeah, it's really cute, I like it a lot. That said, it took a while for me to settle on one so I've been collecting names since I got here, haha.

[letgrow]

May I ask a question?

[failedsafe]

Yeah, sure.

[letgrow]

Why did you chose to go through the portal?

[failedsafe]

Oh. I was curious.

[yeah. that's it.]

How about you?

[letgrow]

Ah, I didn't want to see anyone else get hurt. So I wanted to help with clean up.

[failedsafe]

That's awfully sweet of you. Yeah, it kind of...really became a mess out there. I was hoping to figure out just what caused all this.

[Sweats in exorcist]

[failedsafe]

Do you know?

[letgrow]

[Sweats in nephilim]

Ah...that is...well....

[failedsafe]

Cammi.

[letgrow]

Lili.

[failedsafe]

What do you know?

[leans in a bit]

[letgrow]

Who said I know anything?

[failedsafe]

So you doooon't? Hmmm?

[letgrow]

The imps might have...been my fault?

[failedsafe]

How so?

[letgrow]

I was trying to summon my familiar. That is, I'm a type of exorcist known as a tamer.

[failedsafe]

I know what a familiar is but what does being a tamer entail?
