[opening_act]

[ A notification on your phone goes off, letting you know the purchase of your meeting with Exael has gone through.

There is an attachment. Where are you, when you open it? ]

[opening_act]

It's something that could cause trouble later.

[liarliarliar]

With who? How?

Such suspense, Miss Exael.

[opening_act]

That's the part that could cause trouble! Don't say I didn't warn you.

Tokyo Delphi.

[liarliarliar]

Maybe I'll keep it in my pocket until it seems relevant.

[opening_act]

That's probably the safest thing to do!

[liarliarliar]

Ah, I think I covered nearly everything people wanted.

[flops onto his back on the pillows]

I wonder if everyone will be satisfied. Probably not.

[opening_act]

They never are, really!

Do you feel satisfied?

[liarliarliar]

I feel pressure because if I don't get special information I'll get fussed at by Mr. Intensity.

But he's going to fuss anyway sooooo.

[opening_act]

Right! Since people do whatever they want anyway, you should just do what you want!

[liarliarliar]

I want to wander off into your city and buy myself a cheerleader costume. And a hoodie. And some jeans.

That has nothing to do with the work at hand though. Ah.

Does the F in Tokyo-F stand for anything?

[opening_act]

Oh! We could go shopping!

[liarliarliar]

We could? Without me being hurt by a rando?

[opening_act]

I can send you back if you run fast.

[liarliarliar]

That sounds dangerous...! No thanks!

[opening_act]

No fun.

[liarliarliar]

Exael look how flimsy I am!

[opening_act]

You should fix that.

[liarliarliar]

My delicateness is part of my brand.

[opening_act]

Would you like to just go home without the running part, then?

[liarliarliar]

Yes mam.

Thank you for your time and patience.

[opening_act]

I hope you had fun!

[ When he takes the elevator down, the lobby will once again open to the empty Tokyo-F. ]
