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, first of all, Yoon being freed and the same for Soujuurou means there's only one person still in distress (besides all of them on account of a bomb being about to go off)

So, Argenti is getting really concerned about McGillis being on fire over there! So he throws another Dia on McGillis so he doesn't die or something! But doesn't have anything in his repertoire to put the flames out at the moment. Especially since there's also a bomb about to go off.

With people being too slow to run and simultaneously on fire, he has to hope that will be enough for the moment and so the red head yells something no one wants to hear anyone say: ]

I shall take care of the bomb!

...Please someone see to McGillis if they can.

[ If they can't, Argenti will try to check himself after this.

Before anyone can so much as complain, the Knight of Beauty runs forward - all at the same time Aaron tosses the stripper pole at it - perfect! Argenti suddenly places a great deal of power behind this Psiodyne, which may or may not have a spear swinging in afterwards to compensate for any lingering weight.

But, perhaps surprising of all is this:

...That it is a successful gambit! The entire thing smashes straight out one of the windows (14) — ]
