Arkain over at Umi  and smiles lightly. " Thanks Umi. I know I can count on you. Yes, I agree together we having fighting chance. Keeping my cool? That is not going to be easy. Not when it come to Reiku. I care very deeply for her. I know they will use that against me. "<br/><br/>Arkain looks over at the chameleon and smiles. "Pleased to meet you Axeru. Thats smell. Nasty, isn't it. Its the chemicals they use to make the latex. Get use. Its all through the complex. Gets worse the further we go in. "He rubs his nose."Stuff totally messes up my sense of smell. I hate that but..."He sniffs the air." There is definitely something different about it. A new  stronger scent that wasn't there last time. I can't identify it, but it definitely was not there last time."<br/><br/>Arkain watches the rest of them walk into the complex. He looks around trying to see any reason for the new smell. The place has nit changed much from the first time he came in. Same pipes filled with latex that went down the long hallway in front of them.<br/>He hears Gold and looks over at him and laughs with a smerk. "Ohhhh yes, lots of cameras. Top of the line security. Some you can see, many you can not." He looks up and waves where he thinks is a camera."  They watched their employees like a hawk. Sneaking around is going to be very difficult. Yes, they do have that advantage. Thats why I say straight in straight out. All together. No breaking into groups. Less chance of anyone getting lost."<br/><br/>He looks at the tiger. "A mercenary I see. I am sure we can work out some payment for your services. You mind even find the challenge in front of you might be used towards that payment. You will see soon enough. By the way, What is your name sir?"<br/><br/>The phantom image of his kitsune tails fade and Arkain goes back looking like his  lizard self. He walks over to Umi. "Hey Umi, I have been having trouble with one power. How do I make ice?"<br/><br/>He sees the new logo on the wall. He wonders why thats there. He notices a piece of paper on the receptionist desk."Hey, whats that?"<br/>He quickly walks over to the colored piece of map. "What the? Its a map. Everyone come here. " He waits till everyone gathers around." Its a map of this second floor. But why would they leave that in plain view? Of course, they wanted us to see it as part of their game. Thats probably why there is not much detail to it. I bet the hyena had something to do with this. No matter, at least it gives us a heads where the traps are and where we need to go to get to the lower levels where I am sure Reiku is being held.." He looks up at the group. "Those traps are were they will try to separate us. Be sharp and be ready for anything. Ready to move forward?"
