Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Kold shrugs and follows Kyla*

"You look like something that would give small children nightmares. I highly approve" Corbenik nodded, resting a paw on his chin as if to try and convey that he actually put any serious thought into his answer "I'm sure 4chan would love you" he added.

"That place makes me question everything I've ever known, or at least, I'm pretty certain it would If I understood what anyone on that ridicules 'Inter-web site' was saying" Kokujo grumbled ".....Can you even fight like that Raiden? You look somewhat.....lacking...." Kokujo attempted to be tactful and avoided using the word 'pathetic'.

Kokujo sighed and followed after the group.

Raiden says nothing...but performs an un-expected wheelie and zooms around the room attempting to regain control over his..."odd" rear end.

"Preposterous!" Corbenik declared before Kokujo had time to vocalise his disapproval "If Kokujo had designed this room, then he wouldn't have put in any of those torches, he's probably have....My Chemical Romance posters there instead or something just as emo" Corbenik waved a paw. "But that's not important right now...." Corbenik took a dramatic stance, turning towards the hand holes, which some sort of close-up camera angle in Corbeniks mind. He then suddenly pointed at Raiden as he zoomed past, apparently not interested in the hand holes at all "Help me catch Raiden so I can use him as a MIGHTY steed!" he demanded.

"Hmmf...." Kokujo huffed at his counterparts antics before looking towards the door ".....I don't trust this one bit.....at first glance, this seems way too easy....which usually means there's some kind of catch to opening that door....." Kokujo observed, folding his arms. He wasn't too keen on the idea of putting his hand into a potential trap. He only had one real one left after all, and he kinda liked it.

*Kyla sniffs at the door* Hmmm...I don't see any other way out of this room, do you guys? I'm sure there's a trap involved here...but I doubt Yokoshima would try to kill us with such an obvious trap...that's not quite his style.

*She still looks unsure as she reaches out with one finger and taps one of the holes in the door. When nothing happens, she gets a bit bolder, and places both hands onto holes in the door. The holes glow with a purple light, and there is a low note, but Kyla's hands are unharmed. She even takes them away from the door and places them back a few times, finally leaving her hands resting on the door*

Well...so far it's ok, mew mew.

Kokujo shot Kold one of his unamused looks.

"Come on Kokujo, don't be such a wuss, the worst that could happen is a horribly painful death, no worries" Corbenik encouraged Kokujo, although it was suspect as to whether 'encourage' was the right word.

"Hmf.....whatever then, I guess I'm game if it's the only way forward" Kokujo grudgingly agreed as he too placed his hands in the appropriate slots and awaited the result.

"The heck are you doing?" Corbenik asked, puzzled "I was talking about the task of helping me catch Raiden, not playing paticake with some silly door" he huffed.

Once everyone has their hands in the slots, all of the slots glow purple. There is an amused laugh from somewhere in the room, and suddenly shackles appear on everyone's hands, and around their ankles.

The shackles on their hands cover the entire hand and are linked at the wrists. They are resistant to force and cannot be broken or removed through simply struggling.

A drop of blood falls from the ceiling and splashes on the floor. A figure rises out of it and grins at the group.



Well well well....if it isn't the summoner Raiden and his pals. This is unexpected. When Yokoshima hired me to set up a little obsticle in this room, he didn't mention it would be "this" group.

Allow me to introduce myself...I am Kujaku. Oh, and don't worry about the shackles just yet. They're merely there to make sure you pay attention. I fully intend to tell you how to remove them.

*Kold raises an eyebrow to Kujaku, then the other to Raiden.*

"Friend of yours?"

*Kold pulls his shackles lightly, in an attempt to display his lack of interest in Kujaku's possible "epic monologue".*
