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. ]

Of course, but that's a lot of pets to keep track of. Especially when things have been so hectic lately.

You're not wrong! Hey, I'm not the one who watches the cameras though. I just hear this stuff from my boss.

Are you angry having to come look for us?

It's weird, but it's all part of the job.

[ with a shrug ]

I don't wanna get home late though, so I'm gonna hurry this up, alright?

I'd like to be the last one out, if that's fine? I want to make sure they all get back all right.

Um, if I can ask too..you think it's weird?

Sure, sure.

[ handflap handflap ]

Well, normally there are things to keep you from going in and out. Locked doors, so to speak—but I guess you pups found an open window somewhere, or something?

Mm, I suppose that would seem weird to you and the producers.

You don't find it weird?

Nn, I don't really find much weird? My life back home isn't especially normal to begin with. So, of course everything is demons.

Hahaha! You're a hardy girl, aren't you?

[ scruffing susanoo and starting to move out ]

Come along, now~

I hadn't thought of it, but I suppose so?

[Following behind them]

Were you talking about the producers earlier?

When?

Ah, as the ones who noticed we were gone? They seem like they have more important things to focus on.

Our Lady cares enough about you to be attentive anyway ♪ But as for Vengeance—

[ with a wave of his free hand ]

Who knows? They clearly don't care about you guys.

And? What do you think of us?

You're on my wife's favorite television show—so you're important to my wife. By that metric, you're pretty important to me, too.

Eh really? What's her favorite unit? And you're really married?

'Course we are.

Right now? She's really into avante en garde. Taisho Roman Revolution too.

TWhat does she like best about them? Ah, I could probably get signatures for her?

Haha, one of yours promised that once before, too. Her current biases are the muscley ones—she likes 'em big and stupid.

[Looks him over....]

Haha—you're thinking, "he's too handsome and smart to be stupid," right?

You're totally right. I'm way out of her type!

Personality wise you are probably most definitely her type then. Besides love overcomes things like "type", probably.

Hahaha! You think so? Maybe I am an idiot, then.

[ not particularly offended though. actually maybe kind of pleased with that. also they're going down the elevator ]

You know a lot about love, Miss?

Not at all....but it sounds exciting, doesn't it?
