[ And Masaomi... perks up. He grins and reaches out to - Silver's taller than him. Put a hand on his shoulder ]
You got it! Ikebukuro's a city within a city - it's a part of Tokyo, the the capitol of my fair nation and a city of over ten million people. So picture the biggest forest you can picture, and it feels like that, just it's all man-made. Well, there's a park or two... but that's the city as a whole. As for the 'buro-
Well, it's a font of entertainment, alight in a way that makes it dazzle no matter what time of day it is. We've got a lot of foreigners, a lot of shop, and big ol' malls like Sunshine City. It's a paradise, if you're heading to the right places, and you're not going into the shadows... because man, does it have shadows. There's a darkness that sleeps in the city, but if you're on the straight and narrow, no one's going to find it.
But more than that... it's big enough to be invisible in, but small enough to have our local legends. Maybe you want to run across the Black Bike, our very own headless rider. Maybe you want to see a monster of a man called Shizuo Heiwajima, or the legendary Russia Sushi that a lot of the locals hang at. Rumors fly at the speed of sound, and if you keep your eyes open, you can feel like you know everything, even if you don't know everyone.
That's the romantic vision you can have of Ikebukuro.
