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?

[ Wax.... He's going to use the Exisal's speakers to pass that info on to everyone else, yay! ]

That person isn't human. He's physically here, in as much as anything inside a palace is, and giving off a heat signal, but... If I had to compare it to anything, it would be warm wax and not a person.

--Good to know! Thank you, McGillis-san.

[...Certainly explains why the boy isn't reacting to anything, at least, thank you and Exisal for making that nice and clear for us, McGilly.]

Maybe he'll turn into a Shadow like the rest of them. And then we'll get called out for murder again.
