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?

[McGillis is in that mecha, what's your excuse for failing the roll, Soujuurou.

Well, fortunately, you don't need a perception check to notice the most obvious change in the gym.



Sure is different now! However, due to them missing the perception rolls...they won't be able to see anything odd or worth noting, even if they check around.

Looks like, in that case, you're both done with the gym!

Sidenote, the gym doors are big enough for the Exisal McGillis is piloting to exit, if you want to leave with it. If you want to leave it here, that's fine too!

But yeah, even though they dropped down one floor, when they exit they find nothing unusual. It's as if, once they step outside the gym, they never dropped down from anywhere, although if they enter the gym again they sure will be able to see the hole from where they dropped from. Palace logic, what can you do about it]

[ cut him some slack, he just got impaled by argenti!

that said, soujuurou looks around and… wow, nothing’s different. soujuurou sneezes. ]

Well, at least we learned a little bit more about Tojo.

[ yippee! ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Well. This is... weird, but not that weird for a palace. McGillis is going to unshrimp himself from the cockpit. The Exisal has not proven itself to be up to his standards - if it was a proper mobile suit, he could fight in it and might take it along, but this thing is simply too slow. ]

We should continue looking for the others then.

[ Said while stretching because ow, his bones. ]

[emptyself]

Let's go. The faster we get to them, the faster we can help them fight the shadows.

[ soujuurou says, sneezing again, unaware that argenti just impaled his imitation shadow. ]
