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?

Clean up for our common objective? As if we all haven't done something terrible in our lives, even without that bear forcing our hand?

[Sayaka manages to leap over Kirumi's attack, and she'll get right up close and personal as she focuses her attack; she takes a gentle breath, thinking for a moment...she'll cast a Media on Kaine, Arven, and Shalem, before rushing after Kirumi and attempting to clash with her properly.

Come on, just like Argenti...!

So, Kirumi likes her speed, huh? Sayaka will attempt to slash at her legs with her sword (18). Sayaka meant what she said when she said she'd meet Kirumi head on; attempted murderer against murderer.]

Why must you erase what we've seen? Why can't you see that what you've done...all of those terrible things--that we're willing to be here for you despite them? Why must you do this?!

[Sayaka's tone is deeply determined.]

Do you really think that you're alone in attempting to kill someone in these games?! Do you really think that means you can no longer do anything good?!
