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?

[Well, Monokuma is not wrong about one of them being half-dead-- Shalem is looking pretty rough despite still being on his feet (3), he's definitely still feeling the effects of that Megidolaon that Monokuma sent his and Kaine's way. Look, he did look a little better earlier, but not by much! And just getting to this room after that has taken a lot out of him.

So he's... just hanging back, really far back, making sure there are people between him and Kirumi because he knows he won't be able to handle much more. He's skipping rounds until healed.]

Shalem...

[ Oof, buddy, you are not looking great. Yoon will toss Diarama his way just to make sure he's okay. ]

[ He will be getting a Dia! ]

[Also tossing a Dia his way because bonds from grown men arts and crafts are sacred!!!]
