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. ]

[ 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
It sounds scary.
Re: @ THE OFFICE
[ opening the door for her, also tossing susanoo in ]
Re: @ THE OFFICE
It definitely sounds more lonely. I guess it just depends on if you prefer the beast you know.
Re: @ THE OFFICE
[ 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. ]

[ 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 ]

Um, is there a place that looks like Lilis? In hell, that is.
Re: @ THE OFFICE
Re: @ THE OFFICE
I didn't get out at all until recently. Before this place, of course.
Re: @ THE OFFICE
[ from past the screen she can see him shrug ]
Maybe, but I like spending time with my wife more than anything the outside world could offer me.
Re: @ THE OFFICE
I thought I was happy just me and my grandmother in our garden...but I've seen a lot of places and met a lot of people. My world is a lot bigger now and I'm happy for it. I think it's something you and your wife could enjoy together.
Re: @ THE OFFICE
[ in the sort of, agreeable but certainly cutting off the conversation tone ]
Yeah, maybe so.
Re: @ THE OFFICE
mostly just staring at it with wide eyes, this is so much. all of it is so much. and now food??? ]
I... i-is this okay? Are you certain? I wouldn't want to impose--
Re: @ THE OFFICE
It's fine, it's fine. It's yours!
