"I mean, he needs to find dates to get me a mom, right? That's kind of how we all met after all." Tamako remarks.

"Again, sorry about what happened at the dinner." Kamiko apologizes.

"Yeah, the date with you didn't go so well, huh? Maybe you should give him a make-up date? Another dinner? It's only fair. Can we try one of those omelettes with the ketchup writing for the next one?" Tamako presses.

"A-another..." Kamiko says, and blushing slightly deflects by saying, "I'm not so sure your father would be keen on that. He seems pretty upset with me about the whole... Incident."

"I mean, he's letting you watch me. That means something, doesn't it?" Tamako prods.

"Next stop, Stripes City!" A staticky voice says from nowhere.

"Ah! Er. Well time to get going!" Kamiko says, standing up suddenly and banging her head on the car's ceiling. Tamako clicks her tongue as the larger woman escapes towards the door. She is sure just a little more of a push would have got Kamiko to admit something.

Walking out of the coach, Tamako has to admit to initially being disappointed at the look of the Mime's city. It looks like Dad's city, perhaps being a slightly larger metropolis. It does stand out for one reason though. The whole place is almost entirely monochrome, and the little color there is from plants or trees is dull and washed out. The few oasis' of bright color come from the non-mime fairies making their way through the streets.

The place is also rather more quiet than a city it's size suggests, with even the rustling of the leaves seemingly muffled. Once again, the odd ones out being the non-mimes, who's conversations seem to carry in the silence.

"So... What now?" Tamako asks, suddenly feeling very out of place.

"We head towards the 'SHH Center'." She says, reading a note from her file. She raises a hand and point to an office tower. "I think it's that one."

"That's where she lives?" Tamako says. "What sort of queen doesn't have a castle?"

"Maybe she just does her business there?" Kamiko says with a shrug.
