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?

--I should be asking you that, Argenti!

[YOU GET A DIA TOO, GOOD SIR???]

That hit looked like no joke...I think we're fine, or at least we should be. What about you?

[ Argenti looks at her sheepishly for a second - guess some old habits don't die hard. But then he'll offer her a bright smile right after. ]

I appreciate the heal. But, it's good you're both doing well.

...I am fine now, though. Even moreso thanks to your thoughtful actions.

Shall we check on the others?

Thanks, Sayaka!

[For the Dia, that is. And once the fridge Shadow has been defeated (???? Weirdass palace) she looks to Argenti with a nod.]

Yeah. Maybe fighting these Shadows will give us another clue somewhere.

[destage]

It's no trouble. I wouldn't want you to get hurt from something like that, that's all...

[Sayaka smiles, though it's more like a bright grin at this point.]

Let's help everyone, then!
