When Sakana brushed past Tsukiko she couldn't help but give him a brief glare, though his offense was forgivable as there really was no reason to be waiting. She was unsure of what to expect for the challenge, perhaps something physically grueling or demanding. But instead it appeared to be a test of wits. The room was a vast expanse of darkness with only the proctor and the scroll floating high above the ground at presumably the center of the giant room. His silver flames were interesting but his attitude left much to be desired. Just his voice began to irritate Tsukiko, let alone his tone. The young woman kept her silence but gave this man a deadly glare, unblinking and unflinching in intensity. Only after he finally finished talking did she relent her gaze.

While Sakana and Kamui began to voice strategies Tsukiko first crouched and sniffed the air a few times. Her sense of smell was far beyond human levels but she couldn't detect the presence of anyone she couldn't already see right now. There were no people or animals hiding among the darkness of the room. Remaining in her crouched stance she performed several handseals and planted a fist against the ground. There was a brief rumble across the room before the floor underneath the scroll and the proctor began to rise. It continued all the way up, stopping just a few feet short of colliding with the two. [color=moccasin]"Now we can actually reach it,"[/color] she finally said aloud, now standing back up to her full height. Kamui's clone now had a means to reach the scroll, but Tsukiko already had her doubts of the success.

Much like Usagi, she was concerned by the fire. Surely they had to put it out, but as well the fact the flames behaved so differently meant that it was likely they had different properties as well. Could they even be extinguished? [color=moccasin]"You know... I can just encase the scroll in rock,"[/color] Tsukiko announced to her team, finally contributing to the strategy. [color=moccasin]"Either that counts as a success or the flames run out of oxygen and extinguish in a minute. But we have to consider the possibility that we might not be able to put the flames out, or that attempting to do so might destroy the scroll. We can't even be sure this is the real scroll with that shitty emblem on it."[/color]

Tsukiko took another glance up towards the floating asshole before letting her gaze wander around the darkness of the room. [color=moccasin]"We need to clear the room. I don't smell any people or animals but there may be traps or doors or the like. That man has no reason to tell us the truth so this may not be straightforward. I only have explosive tags to try to light things up to scan the room so I might not be the best for it. But if this room really is empty and that is the real scroll... Then I can grab it if we must."[/color]
