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?

[Kainé's arms are crossed over her chest. She doesn't have a lot to throw in, and she looks a little restless with their continued premise.]

We looked out those huge windows in the entrance. I thought it'd look like the place we were before, but... There are more cameras outside. Tons of 'em, sunken into the darkness.

[She gestures down toward Shalem, brow furrowing.]

Then I saw him getting shitcrashed over the head by that Shadow that Aubrey mentioned. He said that before it attacked him, he found a memory and found a black band for people who are mourning. [She frowns, itchy. While Shalem is still, he looks...] Maybe toss him a bigger heal than I can.

[We may have to see if the dice will be kinder or if someone's going to get bitten.]
