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. ]

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

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?
letgrow: (do you feel loved)

. . . Yeah.

It definitely sounds more lonely. I guess it just depends on if you prefer the beast you know.

Really does!

[ waiting for everyone to get into the back before he closes the door, sliding into the front. the doors are all child locked, with a screen between the driver's seat and the backseat; the interior is pretty posh, a little disco ball in the middle of the ceiling that radiates the same sort of hard-to-look-at neon brightness outside, with plush seats and little ice coolers. ]

Champagne and ice cream was the request I heard? Here we are ♪

[ setting something in the front, which leads to some clicks in the back near the idols—if one were to open the cooler there's riesling, glasses, and also red velvet ice cream. ]

Oh—there should be a dial back there for the light.

[ and there is, in fact, a dial near the disco ball if she wants to turn the light down, although it does not become any less colorful ]
