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?

...We all remember being knocked out as soon as we stepped foot in that school, so it's likely that something got to us. Though we never found out what. Probably something that worked with Monokuma.

As for why...well. Monokuma only said he wanted us to be in despair, because he called us the world's hope. He thought it was funny.

You guys were getting murdered for a stupid reason like that?!

[What the hell!!!]

[destage]

It was the reason he gave us, and...none of us could defy it. Not after he started threatening the people outside of here, to...make us act...

[Trust her. She gets it.]

What the hell??

[There's... really not much more she can think to say in the face of that.]
