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?

[Stick that memo in there, Yoon!

By now, Aaron probably took out two of the dolls and left the MYSELF one in there, so there should be space for the note. When he does, the words of the note appear onto the vase, as if they were floating in front of Kirumi's silhouette. She has stopped.

She's...observing it. Perhaps she's recognizing the handwriting.

...and, not understanding what it all means, she continues her walking. Well! It's more of a reaction than other things got, but still, picture you're minding your own business, and then all around you letters appear and you read a message that's floating in the air. It'd be such a surreal moment, eh? No wonder she stopped for a moment, hah]

[ Oh boy...yeah, that's a reaction he'd expect, honestly. Does shoving her journal in here do anything. Like. Even if it's just the corner of the book? Obviously the whole thing (probably) can't fit in here and he doesn't want to damage it too much. ]
