Kirumi Tojo's Palace | The Ultimate Maid's Failures
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?

anyway. the other people are... new, and joshua makes a mental note of them, just in case they happen to show up in any later phases. you never know, after all.
but kirumi... was that her schtick then, joshua wonders? just based on whatever they've seen so far, from the cameras and the evaluations and joining up the dots together... hm. he has thoughts, but he's not going to vocalise them just yet.
is there anything else in the dormitories that are of interest? what about kirumi's room, since that is the only one that has a face/name plate on there? ]

Inside there's a very organized bedroom. One bed that looks perfect, nicely swept floors, a whiteboard with writing, and a desk with an open journal on it. There's also a memo shoved underneath the journal.
Plenty of stuff! Kirumi is a thorough gal, of course she'd have information in her own room!]

Kirumi wrote about the first day, when that damn bear laid out the rules of the killing game.
She wrote about how everyone was scared.
She wrote about how everyone tried to escape through a potential escape route, spurred by a blonde girl named 'Kaede'. The description matches who Joshua and Yoon saw earlier in the memory.
She wrote about how Kaede was blamed for the repeated failed escapes after many, many hours.
She wrote about how starting to befriend others, although she kept her distance.
And then it took a turn.
She wrote about Monokuma lying a threat of exterminating all sixteen students unless someone died.
She wrote about someone who died less than an hour before the deadline.
She wrote about how there was an investigation for it.
She wrote about how it ended up in a trial
She wrote how Kaede was indicted for it.
She wrote about voting for Kaede.
She wrote that Kaede was horribly executed for it.
She wrote about how much sympathy she felt for Kaede, since the reasons were absolutely understandable.
She wrote about how downcast everyone felt.
She wrote about how a boy, 'Shuichi', whose description matches the boy who had been with Kaede in the earlier memory, started hanging out with Kirumi a lot.
She wrote about how glad she is Shuichi is here, thanks to his talents as a detective.
She wrote she sees great potential in Shuichi and wants to serve him as his maid once they escape.
She wrote about her own efforts to try to keep everyone doing alright.
Kirumi wrote that Monokuma had left a new motive, in a tablet.
That's all Kirumi wrote. There was nothing else.
The memo below seems a bit hastily scribbled. Given that, and how it's shoved underneath the journal...does that say something about how Kirumi treats this particular thought?
'It is odd how I remembered that bit about myself after watching the tablet. How?'
Very vague, unclear stuff]

[ Hm...
He's just gonna grab both of these things, can he do this or is this a saw trap Nick - ]
no subject
Actually no, it doesn't, hah. He can take them!]
no subject
Is there anything else looking out of place here? Or anything that stands out, like the whiteboard...? What can we find there. ]
no subject
he's also taking out his (personal, not the one with the nekyia app) phone and snapping a picture of the writing on the whiteboard. what does it say? ]
no subject
It seems to be some sort of timeline of events, organized chronologically. There are dates written. From what Joshua can see, it's listing important dates for Kirumi, and since she's, you know, the Ultimate Maid, a lot of these dates involve her work. There's the day she started high school, there's the day she started as a maid, there's the dates in which she started working for one or another, and when her work ended...
But it seems she was unable to put a few things in the timeline. Something called 'Ultimate Hunt', a vague note about 'erasing my talent and being a normal high school student', and something that seems to have been written and then smeared over until it was unreadable. Who knows what other major event was puzzling her.
Then a post-it note, written with the same hurry as the note Joshua had seen under the journal.
'Why can't I make the timeline work...?']
no subject
What happens when you can't trust your own memories, hm...
[ anyway, he is pocketing the post it note then, since he can carry that but not the whiteboard, alas. At least he has a photo of the whiteboard for records! ]
I wonder what some of these terms mean......
[ ultimate hunt sounds way too sus. Out of curiosity because joshua would notice, is there like a date system/what year is it for the dates kirumi scribbled on the whiteboard? ]
no subject
The pieces of info she couldn't make fit into her attempt to make a timeline don't have a year. Looks like she didn't know those]
