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?

[ If it's alright, Yi Sang takes the contraption. He'll put them together then! Or at least try to. ]

[kandata]

[How good are you with contraptions? Think you can make it work?

Regardless, it doesn’t take an expert to see this is a flashlight of some sort, but the lens is still missing]

[ Yi Sang fixed up a waterlogged cell phone.

He was also shown a futuristic glass window that could look into parallel worlds and based off of that demonstration and the inventor's blessing as his friend, created a mirror that let you communicate with individuals living in those parallel worlds, what do you think—

Anyways. ]

It's missing a lens.

[kandata]

[Hah! Okay, then Yi Sang will be able to see that so far, this is a very advanced contraption. This isn't the work of some novice, there must have been a lot of time -- and a lot of money -- behind the development of whatever this is.

It's missing a lens indeed]

[idealitas]

[ We return to this tag with a lens! Thanks Soujuurou for your contribution, McGillis too.

After that spiel I don't think Yi Sang has any right to judge complicated things shaped like more mundane objects, huh.

But he can go and try to put this together. Please don't require any fancy tools, Kirumi. ]

[kandata]

[Fortunately it doesn't seem you need specialized tools right now. You have gained...

...it indeed is a flashlight of some sort.

Its function is impossible to decipher. It's rather heavy, and needs both hands to be carried. But it's a working device, that's for sure.

Looks like you're all done! Time to regroup and see what to do now!]
