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?

[A little after Kainé yelled into the dumbwaiter, it came back on its own. It's faint, but it sounds like Aaron's voice:]

"The hell?! That the exhibitionist chick?"

[Oh, shit, it actually works, she guesses. Her eyes widen in surprise but narrow very quickly when Aaron is...well, Aaron.]

You're lucky you're on the other side of this cave, or I'd shut your dick in this thing's doors. [It's testy, but not the level of true anger she spouts when actually bursting with violent temper.]

We've got paper dolls of people and big vats to burn them in.

[Which shouldn't sound concerning at all.]
