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?

classroom + foyer

I went into the classroom to find that there was not much, except this clipboard and picture of Miss Kirumi.

For some reason there is some darkness that does not enable me to see the rest of the clipboard...

[ But he will show the picture that also has 𝓅 𝑜 𝓇 𝓉 𝒶 𝒷 𝓁 𝑒 𝒹 𝒶 𝓇 𝓀 𝓃 𝑒 𝓈 𝓈 with it! ]

In the foyer I mostly saw that there were doors leading to an exit; these doors were closed as well as locked tight even when I pulled on them, and I was attacked by a false Soujuurou, who I defeated soundly.

It was too dark for her to see much beside the cameras when she looked out the front windows, but it gets her thinking, at least a little.]

Hey, anyone still got that light from outside? Find anything to shine it on et?

[Probably not this darkness, since it kinda feels like this is just some fuzzy scuffed dream thing. But maybe someone more puzzle-oriented and with better rolls has seen things.]

[ ...Oh, that's a good question. ]

Oh, it is a pity I do not. I hope someone else does, however.
