Video; Sun goes to Tokyo!

[monkeystowaway]

[Well, things had been crazy in this place lately. So Sun had found different ways of occupying his times so his mind wouldn’t linger on things for too long. One of those ways was exploring. And in his exploration, he stumbled across this sub-archway.

He was standing in the sprawling metropolis that was Tokyo. And man, this city was massive. Sun is pretty amazing, looking back and forth between everything on the busy streets.]

Whoa. Has anyone ever been to this place before? [ He shows his view of the city, to let all of the colorful signs, busy streets and just the general liveliness of it all be seen. And that wasn’t even all of it. And here he thought the city of Vale was huge. Though which was bigger between the two, he didn’t really know.]

[A curious bespectacled woman's face shows up on the screen.]

That does indeed look familiar to me. It has been quite some time since I visited that particular city. Or perhaps I should say a version of it? I doubt it is the one from the version of reality I call my own. Unless I am mistaken, you are in Tokyo, correct?

[monkeystowaway]

I guess I am if that's what this place is called. I've never been to or seen it before. [Or heard about it either.]

Video

[mamizou_futatsuiwa]

It looks similar to such a city from my home. I always preferred the quieter countryside, but it is somewhat of a relief to see familiar sights here.

[Her face looks mildly surprised when she realizes he said he's never even heard of it.]

So, there are worlds out there so completely removed from what I am accustomed to you've never even heard its name? I could educate you if you wish, though I am not certain you would find a history lesson that exciting.

Video

[monkeystowaway]

Looks that way. I've noticed this kind of thing happening for a while, though. Some people I have met have never even seen a person with a tail before. [He emphasis this by waggling his tail a little on the video screen.]

You can hold the history lesson and just tell me about anything that might be exciting to see here.

[mamizou_futatsuiwa]

[It might be difficult to notice, but there's a slight widening of the woman's eyes. She's a little surprised at the sight of that tail. She isn't judging him, of course. She had just met mostly 'normal' humans since arriving.]

A tail, hm? I am afraid I must disappoint you, because in this case you are not the first person I have met with a tail.

[If she wasn't holding on to her human disguise, she'd have a rather impressive one to show off herself!]

I suppose the most common tourist spot is Tokyo Tower. Can't say I have been there myself, it is rather outside of my interests.

Re: Video

[monkeystowaway]

Oh? [ She piques his interest a bit with that.] You've met other people in your world with appendages like this or have you met some others here?

[He listens to her suggestion of tourist spots, though.]

So that would be that huge tower that I can spot from even here. [He didn't think that would be a tourist spot, though. Did they really let people up there?]

Video

[mamizou_futatsuiwa]

Where I was living before I ended up here, such things as your tail were not rare, nor were they considered an oddity. You are the first I've met since arriving here, though I suppose that likely has more to do with me keeping to myself in my short time here then a lack of others to meet. Either way, I do not consider it anything unusual.

[She nods.]

There is a good chance that what you are seeing is it. As I said, I have not been personally, but I imagine the selling point would be the view from up there. If that doesn't interest you, I could make some other recommendations, depending on just how much of the that city is actually there. It is odd to have to think like that, but considering the way this world is, I cannot even guarantee what I might recommend is even there.

Video

[monkeystowaway]

Same as in my world. Though we do face some discrimination from regular humans. Some, but not all. [There were enough of them that accepted his people.]

It seems pretty huge. I guess I will know just how big it is once I reach that tower. I can probably see the entire city from that high up. [It looked pretty huge compared to all of the other buildings. IT wouldn't have surprised him if it was the biggest structure in this place.]

Video

[mamizou_futatsuiwa]

[The woman wears a serious expression on her face when she responds.]

It is sad, how humans can be. A little thing like a tail separates one person and another, and they treat someone so horribly. I assure you that you won't face any discrimination from me.

[But just as suddenly, the look fades back into a much more friendly look, a little smile tugging at the edges of her lips.]

But that is enough being serious, we were talking about the sights, yes? I do not know if only part of the city or its entirety are there for you to explore. Forgive me if I am making an incorrect assumption, but you strike me as someone who might appreciate an area with a lot of action. If the tower is not to your satisfaction, you may wish to visit Shibuya. It is a very social place.

Video

[monkeystowaway]

[That was a good thing to know off the bat. He wished he knew exactly what people he would face discrimination with just so he wouldn't have to deal with it.]

Your assumption is correct. [Though he didn't mind peaceful relaxing areas. Especially if they had lots of nice trees for him to lounge in or under.]

What kinds of things do they have there? Do you know?

Oh, and I'm Sun Wukong, by the way.

Video (sorry for delay, been busy!)

[mamizou_futatsuiwa]

I'm afraid I've been away from Japan awhile, and I didn't live in Tokyo either, so all I can tell you is what I have myself been told. Its a very large shopping district. A lot of fashionable young ladies frequent it, so surely that by itself would be of interesting? If you looking to find some token of your visit there, surely it would be a good place to visit. And I dunno how long you intend to remain in the city, but it supposedly becomes very active in the evening. I wish I could give you better information, but alas, I am not myself a social butterfly, so it is not the sort of place I would frequent.

[A small smile.]

But I should introduce myself as well. I am Mamizou Futatsuiwa. Sun Wukong, you say? That is an interesting name. I suppose it explains the tail.

Video (No prob!)

[monkeystowaway]

[Sun does indeed like to look at pretty girls. How they might react to seeing his tail though, he didn't know. No one seemed to have a bad reaction so far. Either because this place wasn't letting them or because they thought the tail was fake or a fashion statement.]

You aren't? You seem like you could be to me. Knowledgeable, friendly, cute. You should get out some more, Mamizou.

And wait. What do you mean that explains the tail?

Video

[mamizou_futatsuiwa]

[Perhaps it was a version of Tokyo that was used to such things. Mami couldn't say. Still, it might be worth visiting herself someday.]

Oh my, aren't you a charming fellow? But it is more due to the fact that my arrival is rather recent really. I have no desire to avoid interaction with others, else I would not have contacted you at all.

[Her face takes on a calm expression. ]

You have such a famous name and you do not even know it? Interesting. In the world I am from, there is a tale in another country of the Monkey King known as Sun Wukong. I am afraid that my area of knowledge does not give me much knowledge of that tale, until recently my life had been spent entirely within Japan. Still, it is a rather interesting coincidence, wouldn't you say?

Where are you?

[monkeystowaway]

Some city that I stumbled across while looking in the sub-archways. Looks pretty amazing, doesn't it?

[whiteas]

Shouldn't you be helping?

[ Weiss is honestly exhausted right now since she's been helping with the find-and-rescue stuff. Yelling at Sun for exploring when she thinks he should be helping? She wants to, but she'd rather he just get medicine if he's going there. That's productive. ]

Try to find as much medicine as you can manage to carry back if you're not going to help here.

[monkeystowaway]

[Blame the mun, because he didn't even know clean and search and rescue was still going on at this point]

I have helped out, Weiss. Is there anything wrong with taking a break? Ill end up being bed ridden if I keep working myself to the point of exhaustion. [He can get medicine, though.]

video;

[whiteas]

[ It's okay, Weiss's mun had her on search and rescue the whole time bc it's a backgroundy thing bc I got caught up and behind. ]

Exploring a new place doesn't really sound like you're resting up very well.

[ Cranky as ever.. ]

video;

[monkeystowaway]

Exploration is one of my hobbies in this place. It doesn't hurt to know the layout. [And you come across neat things like this city.]

video;

[whiteas]

So exploring relaxes you?

[ She sounds a little suspicious, but everyone does have their own things that helps them relaxed... ]

video;

[monkeystowaway]

Yeah? Why? Do you think that is weird?

video;

[whiteas]

That seems like a lot of work for relaxation.

[ Not everyone has to plan everything out in detail before they do it, Weiss. ]

video;

[monkeystowaway]

Have you never just walked around a place just to see what was out there? Have you even explored in this place?

video;

[whiteas]

I got a map, and I've been places that I need to be or wanted to go. I've been focusing on saving money and a lot of other things.

[ Just drag her out and make her wander around aimlessly, Sun, do it. ]

video;

[monkeystowaway]

[Geeze, Weiss. A map? Sometimes you just have to toss it out and just explore the world.]

What are you doing right now?
