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?

[Wow, this place is depressing?? It's a lot different from the other palaces he's seen so far, which were usually fairly elaborate.

Anyways, he'll inspect one of the cameras because he was always here shh.]

[Hello, newcomer! Aaron has a camera focused onto him, and it's ready to give a thorough evaluation of him!

Or at the very least one (1) question]

Name.

[Now, let's see...]

----makes you angry. What makes you hit your boiling point?

[Embrace anger, Aaron! Also answer that question!]

[imperiosity]

[He would be more amused by the impromptu interview if not for like, the whole palace thing. As it is, he just quirks a brow and stares straight back into the camera before shrugging.]

Aaron Wei.

And right now? I'd place jumping through all these damn hoops pretty high on my list of things that piss me off.

[because why can't palaces ever be simple gosh]

[kandata]

[........

The camera turns off. Oh dear. But hey, the feedback is coming down from the gray skies, to Aaron! Here you go!]

'Candidate AARON shows promise but not enough to be tolerable for more than a week. Cons: Being Aaron Wei.

Rating: 3/10. Rejected.'

[NICK i'm crying

anyways he can't help but blink at that before giving the camera the flattest stare.]

Tch, just means you've got no taste!

[no, they definitely have the correct taste]

[ It's so sad that he's not on good enough terms with Aaron to tease about this now... Alas, forced to mind his own business entirely here. ]

[McGillis minding the boundary...

but it's okay he can bring it up as a secret weapon if he ever finds out about aaron's pic of him and izou kissing]
