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 helps, there was quite a bit of fog earlier that dissipated when I used a spell to create some light and it spawned the lantern, so maybe there will be another area where that is this... thing... may be used that way?

Unless we find a different way to proceed from here, we might unfortunately need to test that theory.

[ He is not keen on activating strange contraptions either, but he also does want to get to Kirumi somewhat speedily here. ]

...Just be careful with it when you do, okay? If it starts beeping at you, throw it away immediately.

It's how Monokuma warned us that he was going to explode--I don't know if this will do the same, but better safe than sorry. If you guys believe we should, go for it.

[Sayaka still doesn't like it, but she also wants to make sure they get to Kirumi quickly.]
