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?

[Once his head feels clearer thanks to Yi Sang’s Energy Shower, it’s just in time to witness what is frankly a pretty fucked up revelation about Kirumi. He grits his teeth as the screen plays back everything, stuck in place as the entirety of her situation clicks into place. Those seemingly uncharacteristic messages that were littered about the palace now take on a far more sinister light.]

You sick bastards…

[Even if she initially volunteered herself for that show, going so far as to completely erase that girl just so they could foist onto her a role that she had never wanted was enough to crush whatever misgivings he might have had about her murder and her conduct during that trial. It wanted to show them Kirumi was worth hating? What a farce.]

…Didn’t think I’d ever say this, but you might even be worse than those Almata shitheads. So just shut up and die already!

[The bigger they are, the harder they fall — and that’s why he aims a pair of heavy slashes at the base of the creature (15) in an attempt to cut it down to size.
