Maybe you were asleep in bed last night. Maybe you were out on the town. Or maybe you were working on something super cool, which you didn't really need to be disrupted by, oh, say a world change or anything else stupid.

Too bad for you, that's just what happened.

At the stroke of midnight, everyone will find themselves back in their assigned castle rooms -- except they're not exactly the same as they were left…

I'll be glad to tell you more, Lucrezia. But don't forget to get out there and enjoy Tokyo, too.

[heloise]

But what is a city if not its people? You and I too, now.

[unvarnished]

Then I'm officially inviting you to tour the city with me. I won't take "no" for an answer.

[heloise]

What would you show me?

[unvarnished]

[that gives him a pause while he thinks of something that Lucrezia would enjoy]

Well, I just told you a story about a Shinto shrine, so we could go visit one. There's the Meiji Shrine. It was dedicated to the emperor who opened Japan to the West. Or maybe Yoyogi Park if you want to watch local talent. Sometimes they have music or even play rehearsals.

[heloise]

[ Everything. She really isn't difficult to please. ]

The park then. Shall we go now? Will they still be playing?

[unvarnished]

Oh, there's always something going on at the park. And whatever it is, it'll be fun to watch.

[heloise]

When you finish your meal.

[unvarnished]

[hey you distracted him with asking about stories and things. He will finish his meal, though, so they can explore! He offers her his arm like the gentelman he's not]

I'm ready if you are.

[heloise]

[ You will always be a gentleman to her, August. She gladly takes his arm though this just reminds her that she's hardly in a state to step out, all in a simple night dress and none of her usual regalia. ]

Tell me again what the people of Tokyo wear.

[unvarnished]

[well August is wearing his normal outfit of jeans and a dark shirt. It's summer so he doesn't need his leather jacket]

Kimonos and yukatas. It's summer, so a yukata would probably feel better. I've got a credit card, so we can buy you clothes if you want.

[heloise]

Ah, an offer to introduce me to a city and buy me dresses. How can I resist?

[unvarnished]

[he shrugs. It's not his money, so he doesn't mind spending it on whatever comes to mind]

I was hoping you couldn't.

[heloise]

But if I did, what would you do then?

[unvarnished]

I'd just have to find some way to convince you.

[heloise]

[ She lowers her voice, as if it's a secret. ]

Dresses always work, or sweets.

[unvarnished]

Thanks for the tip. Maybe I can buy you some while we're out.

[heloise]

You can, but now you must not tell it to anyone else.

[unvarnished]

Don't worry, Lucrezia. I know how to keep a secret.
