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. ]

Mm, that's right. I don't think you're the type, but please don't try to harm her?

[cw_suicide]

[thinks about his one (1) memory and how inaccurate this assessment is]

Me? I would never. I am a complete gentleman.

[letgrow]

'Never' comes sooner than one would think when trapped in a place like this.

[cw_suicide]

I'm very much not a fighting type.

[letgrow]

-Ah! Support class!

[cw_suicide]

[executive tactician, actually...]

Bingo!

[letgrow]

Why don't you correct me when I'm wrong?

[cw_suicide]

--what do you mean?

[letgrow]

You definitely know what I mean.

[cw_suicide]

[this is because of his baby facetwin isn't it]

... from a certain point of view, you are not incorrect?

I just remember being of a certain type but don't remember enough to actually be that?

[letgrow]

[Nods at that explanation]

Mm, all right then.

[cw_suicide]

[eyeing her like he's totally expecting something more because people don't just accept things that easily, do they?]

... more tactical than support.

[letgrow]

My meister is technically offensive. I can't really access my abilities like a knight or a dragoon could though, so please bear with me.

[cw_suicide]

I'm not sure what you mean by "meister", but I think I get the general gist of what you're meaning.

We might not have to worry about planning for things like that.

[letgrow]

Meisters are the different specialized classes exorcists can have.

And I think, as long as we keep low, it won't be a problem.

[cw_suicide]

Mm, I think that's accurate. Especially since your unit has a number of, ah, deceptive? Measures. For abilities.

[letgrow]

Exactly. And I happen to have the full set.

[cw_suicide]

[making her way more useful than him, objectively.]

Mm. In that case, I definitely should rely on you.

[... the problem being... will he, tho?]

[letgrow]

I'll rely on you too, so let's both do our best.
