Kirumi Tojo's Palace | The Ultimate Maid's Failures

[kandata]

By now everyone may be used to find themselves in bizarre locations, between going into palaces and visiting Nekyia. It might not come as a surprise that it has happened again.

What might come as a surprise, though...is how empty this place is.

All around you there's nothing more than a large, gray, featureless expanse. In the distance there seem to be bars, curving upwards to gather so, so high above you, possibly hundreds of miles above, so high it’s hard to distinguish.

It’s a cage. So unfathomably large. You could escape, were you to get to the edges of the cage, but...it would take forever. No matter how you look at it, you're trapped. The atmosphere is so...hopeless. Devoid of anything even remotely positive.

Not that you want to hang around for long, do you? After all, this is someone's palace. Not a place to stick around at. What to do, though?

It’s all so...empty. Silent. Featureless. A flat expanse of hard gray tiles.

Gather together, everyone. Gather and choose a direction. North, East, West, South. All directions look completely identical, but could it affect your time in this place, somehow? Probably not. But all treks start with the first step. Perhaps, if you get moving, you'll progress?

The world...in the TV?

[If I think too hard about the history of technology in Nier universe I spontaneously start smelling toast burning, but she understands enough.]

None of that shit is real, though.

...It could have been something about society that she coveted, perhaps.

[ Too broad for him to make an accurate guess. ]

[moonshaded]

[It's definitely too broad. Whatever it was that Kirumi wanted, she has to wonder if it was a place she never fit in before.]

Maybe that map will take us to "that world."

[beautifulknight]

[ Indeed...

Regardless, Argenti nods at this. ]

Maybe it will. Let us use it to guide our way forward, then!
