Kirumi Tojo's Palace | The Ultimate Maid's Failures



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?

[ soujuurou does not attack.

instead, he sees yi sang’s situation and moves towards him. with a (4), soujuurou feels that there’s not much that he can do for the other, but that’s no reason to give up. he pulls yi sang out of the strings and shoves him away, uncaring of what happens to him in consequence.

oddly enough, he feels calm. ]

... [ It all happens so very fast, gelling ensnared, then pulled away by a strong arm and shoved away. Is this thanks for healing him? Or something very wrong with Soujuurou. It doesn't matter, he is both grateful for the save and upset. He's had people step in to save him before, when he felt too wrapped up in regrets to do anything to save himself.

He'll do something too, even if it's a bit counterintuitive to that save, sorry Soujuurou. He'll use Maeiha (8 but we're letting it be a fail of thing for fun and profit) to activate Makarakarn's reflect on him, but in doing so remove the shield for the others. Getting hit with Curse damage is fine, he resists it. ]

[ Neither of these two like being useless thanks to RNG! But thank you for the Dia. ]
