Tower Defense GO GO GO!

One night in Osaka, we were out adventuring with our humans in a neighborhood a good ways away from our hotel in an area of town called Shinsekai.  We were on the lookout for trouble, because we learned that this part of town used to be pretty rough-and-or-tough and crimeish and Yakuza-ey and full of deadly puffer fish.  Not too surprisingly, we saw none of the crimey things, just a lot of pleasantness and some of those deadly puffer fish.  That being said, anywhere we went in the neighborhood, we felt like we were being watched...

Finally we figured it out--the tower!  And the people in the tower!  They were on to us!  Tsutenkaku Tower was built before the big war that our people and their people fought against each other way back when, was stripped down to build horrible warrish things, and then was rebuilt afterward.  It used to be the tallest building in all of Asia for a while before a whole heck of a lot of other things rose up to beat it, including possibly some larger than average bamboo trees, and most importantly, it had an observation deck that in all certainty was where we were being watched from! 

With the help of the big guy's cute wife's satchel, it was time to infiltrate!

We hopped into an elevator and took a jostly ride up to the top of the tower.  We waited inside to try to get the jump on the interloper who was interloping on us, but after a little bit we realized that we may have been off a little bit.  There were lots of people inside the tower, lots of young people and older people but none of them looked sneaky or suspicious.  Mostly, they looked at ease, and comfortable, and wide-eyed.  We looked around and saw what they saw; a glittering landscape of Osakan lights and people.  We were not so much being watched as just part of the extremely watchable and look-at-thatable city teeming below.  And what else to do other than watch the teeming ourselves?
