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?

[He sees that flash of pink right as he's about to brace himself for another attack, but when Monokuma vanishes, Aaron's quick to close the distance to the edge of the pit. He pulls himself up with a little difficulty because of the remaining scratches all over his back, but once he's up there, he seems like... mostly okay.

Looking over to Aubrey:]

Pretty nice assist.

[She hates this fuckin bear okay!!]

He's the one who swung at me first.

[That means it's valid to steal the axe and also return the favor. Probably.]

[imperiosity]

[Oh no, he thinks she's totally valid. He... well, he probably wouldn't bother with the axe, but he would definitely kick that bear's ass too (pending avrae's approval).]

Hah. Not like he doesn't deserve it after everything else, too.

Anyway, I owe you one, Aubrey.

[Shrugging a little.]

...It's no big deal.
