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?

[It's much easier to fight this thing, in contrast to the poor rolls and AFK debuff that kept even Kainé's most violent attacks from doing much against the earlier stages of this boss battle. There's a tightness in her chest watching everyone leap in to put themselves in someone else's path, and her voice is low from that tightness.]

Give me a break. This isn't a martyr competition.

[We won't talk about the bowl stuff earlier.

There's a weak opening where the Monokuma eye stares out from the maid uniform, but you know what she's sick of? That fucking yapping. So Kainé's Lunge (17) is directed in the general direction of where sound seems to be coming from the monster.]
