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

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

You don't find it weird?

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

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.

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

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

[ scruffing susanoo and starting to move out ]

Come along, now~

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

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

[Following behind them]

Were you talking about the producers earlier?

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

When?

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

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

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

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.

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

And? What do you think of us?

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

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.

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

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

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

'Course we are.

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

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

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

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

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

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

[Looks him over....]

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

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!

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

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

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

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?

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

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

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

Love is exciting, I'll grant you that.

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

What else is it?

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

[ as the elevator door opens to the new floor—the garage ]

Painful.

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

Is it worth it?

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[loveandthunder]

. . . Yeah.

[ taking out a keyring, beep beep. a limo's lights flash on, just a few spaces away—there aren't many cars here either so it's easy to get to, easy to tell it's that one ]

Re: @ THE OFFICE

[letgrow]

[Heading towards that one then]

It sounds scary.
