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?

...This is awful.

[ Hm...

He's just gonna grab both of these things, can he do this or is this a saw trap Nick - ]

[kandata]

[Yeah, the journal clamps onto Yoon's hands like a bear trap.

Actually no, it doesn't, hah. He can take them!]

[strawsandals]

[ PHEW. He'll pocket those because these might come up later...

Is there anything else looking out of place here? Or anything that stands out, like the whiteboard...? What can we find there. ]

[finalmix]

[ he will let yoon take the items and head over to the whiteboard.

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? ]

[Peep at Kirumi's own musings! There's, of course, her handwriting. It's unmistakable it's hers.

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...?']

[finalmix]

[ hm. ominous. ]

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? ]

[kandata]

[Let's say the majority of the dates are from 2015 to 2017 because 2017 is when Danganronpa V3 was released. A short career, yet impressive, if some of the titles of her former masters are any indication!

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]
