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?

[ There is a sigh. The whole Exisal is sighing, shoulders sagging and all. Yes he's being dramatic with the robot, sue him. ]

If you want to try the pacifist route first, be my guest. But we we cannot proceed that way, I'm going to kill the wax statue.

If we can't move on, then fine, you can kill him.

[She's not about to rebellion them into never making it to the goal - never making it to help Kirumi herself.]

But I want to try. ...For her sake, too.

[Waves. He's right next to the statue, and is ready. He'll just do it when there's a consensus, you pacifist kids can have fun.]
