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?

I want you all to kill Kirumi Tojo.

[There!]

[emptyself]

[ wow, look at all the rise that you're getting out of soujuurou!

it's none. you're getting none. ]

No.

[kandata]

Pretty pleeeeeease?

[He's taking some tone that's supposed to be beguiling but is anything but that]

[emptyself]

Why do you sound like that?

[destage]

[HEY UH. WHAT THE FUCK?]

You--you can't be serious. Tojo-san's been nothing but kind to us--we're here to rescue her! Why are you asking this of us?

[emptyself]

This thing is made by Tojo's mind, isn't it? It's probably part of the experiences she went through.

[ he seems to be taking this really well, speaking in a calm voice. maybe he's just doing it to spite monokuma, though. ]

It's a bloodthirsty thing, so it wants to mess with us until we give it what it wants. And since it's Tojo's mind, it means it wants Tojo's blood. That's all.

[destage]

...You're right. We've gotten pretty good at defying the so-called fates that these places have wanted, right?

[Sayaka steadies herself, stepping out a little bit from behind Soujuurou. Resolved, beside him.]

...Then we just need to find a way to defy it.

[kandata]

You were here for that? Sure had me fooled, since you were all so sidetracked talking to cameras.

[As if he had nothing to do with setting that up, the jerk]

[destage]

And I wonder who's fault that was. Certainly not the fault of this place's so-called god.

[don't get smart with her, young man!!!]

[beautifulknight]

[ ...His eyes narrow in Monobear's direction. ]

None of us shall give into your dark designs.

You must be delusional if you believe it so in the first case.

[kandata]

Oh, for the love of--do you all defiant people read from the same script or what?! I swear I heard something identical to that seventeen seasons ago!

[What is Monokuma even talking about, who knows]

[prozaic]

Out of the question.

[kandata]

Why did I bother to ask, right? I always get the tough customers.

[bloodweapon]

[Obviously he's not going to go along with it, but...]

Why do you want us to do that?

[kandata]

Because I say so.

[Unsurprising thing, that he wouldn't even deign himself to give further explanation than that]

[bloodweapon]

[..............dis bear,,,]

Then surely you already know that none of us will play along. Why did you even bother showing up?

[was it just to terrorize sayaka??]

[kandata]

Me showing up is tradition. I'm a very traditional bear. Traditions run in my cotton and wires.

{.......]

Also I wanted to see the idol girl jump.

[Yeah, he can't deny terrorizing Sayaka was like 20% of the reason]

[bloodweapon]

[rude!!!!]

You've said your piece. Unless you've any more relevant information to share with us, you may as well leave.

[He is not above cutting a stuffed bear with a giant sword!!!!]

[strawsandals]

No.

[kandata]

Very uninspired answer, so-called genius with high self-esteem.

[strawsandals]

I'm very uninspired by your ludicrous demands, yeah.

[imperiosity]

[...]

You for real?

[kandata]

True as truth! I bearly ever lie.

[aaaaaaaa]

[imperiosity]

That's not a no, bear.

[Not that he would have trusted it regardless, but still.]

Anyways, you got anything useful to say, or are you done asking questions you already know the answers to?
