[Nobori is standing outside and not in horrible weather for once! He's recording by the fountain, while Chandela watches the water shoot through the air, flames dancing as it flits from left to right and back again, perfectly cheerful in stark contrast to its grim-looking human companion.]

The City feels congested once more. It remains to be seen whether or not these guests are of the dangerous sort. Are we to play dispatcher again?

I wonder if we've done something to offend these so-called deities... unless someone else has a better explanation for so many curses in rapid succession. I cannot wait for the last stop; I've grown tired of counting off the miles.

[He's too uneasy for the usual "all aboard!" closing, it seems?

He adds as though it were an afterthought:]

Look both ways, listen, and proceed with caution.

[He 'hmms' slightly in contemplation before saying:] That would explain a lot, actually.

[...Explain a lot about what, exactly?

Just don't question his logic, it only invites trouble. That train of thought followed a logical enough track anyway, so long as one could figure out the point of departure.]

So, the Blue Light, right? Sounds fun! [You know, barring the fact that the only thing he knows about it is its name, but.]

You'll have to lead the way; let's go!

[Hey, it could stand to be so much worse! He could have taken Kudari down to what is essentially the City's answer to a red light district. Now, if he'd done that, Nobori would not hold it against Kudari if he decided to disown him as his brother right then and there.

Fortunately, this place is not too far off and they'll reach it after not too much time spent walking! It's pretty clean for a bar. It's... nothing fancy, kind of forgettable and unimpressive in appearance, but at least it's inoffensive? Okay, it's actually kind of tacky-looking (there are too many poorly arranged posters and are those records hanging on the walls? It's faux-artsy or faux-retro or maybe it's just faux decor in general), but hey, it's clean, there's places to sit, a modest selection of food to eat, and good music.

Actually, the musicians are genuinely talented and the music's pretty much the best thing about this place. Kind of makes up for the lackluster look of the place, huh?

Chandela doesn't seem to approve much of this choice of scenery and spends all its time since stepping foot into this place nudging its trainer, looking annoyed, and turning to look longingly at the door.] Shandela-shan! Shanshan...!
