Kirumi Tojo's Palace | The Ultimate Maid's Failures
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 cubical machine has a nice round button on the front. It's about the size of a coffee machine, and is made of black steel. There's an inscription to a side, and a nozzle underneath it:
Persons Dispenser. One person per second!
The rest of the machine is unblemished, without anything else. Still, it doesn't seem dangerous]

What happens if he presses the button- ]

Three paper dolls came out! The first one is labeled with a big fat zero, but the other two are just quaint depictions of everyday people.
Congratulations, Argenti! With the short time you pressed that button, you got granted a 'zero doll', and a total of two (2) persons]

[ Argenti hugs them close to him.

Anyway, anything else noteworthy about the machine while he's doing that- ]

'Supply: infinite'.
Looks like the machine somehow has an infinite supply of persons in it. Palace magic, it sure is something!
Other than that, seems like the machine doesn't have anything else]

...Argenti is going to just press the button one more time because he wants to see if he can three more dolls. ]
