Let's Play "Downtown Tokyo, Present Day"

That's not a verb I recognise.

That's... odd? Mabye something more needs to happen first?

[A fat elbow prods you in the ribs. "Hey, quit fidgeting!"]

Suddenly the table jerks, upsetting a bottle of soy sauce and sending it rolling over the edge. The crowd pauses for a moment, then moves on.

Guess I can't use those brackets for notes anymore. I'll use {} for now. And I guess we jumped as the viewer? And then passing time made the table jerk? That's my guess.

Oh. Tried this for you. Silly me.

That's not something a true hero would do.

This time the quake is obvious, and accompanied by a dull rumble. Abandoning his newspaper and soup, our man joins the hesitant crowd for a better look up the street.

More time passing.
