Noelle just walked quietly not interacting with anyone after Jakobe. She was a bit startled by the labyrinth and upon hearing Vlad's explanation she a bit on edge. Prize? I don't like the sound of that...that creepy expression doesn't help in the slightest either. She watched Luke's reaction and had a slight frown. What are you doing Luke? If you are trying to start something you are close. I need to discuss how to lie low with this one. She tugged his shirt and gave a small frown from one side of her mouth.

Vlad grinned. He was thrilled at least one of his experiments was interested in his prize. He was pleased. He studied the boy thoughtfully. "That is a good question. The reward isn't a piece of cheese. None of you are mice. Nor is it a walk outside. None of you are stable enough to go outside the facility just yet. I will give you a reward worth the effort." He assured the boy. "You can chose the next class, a special meal, or you may purchase an item worth fifty dollars online."

@KatherinWinter@King Tai@Kit DewStein@Helo@Lemons

The scary Vlad offering 'a reward' for completing a course hadn't helped Becca with her confidence at all, but Jakobe speaking to her had helped her focus. She stopped shifting in and out of focus, looking at the much taller man and giving him a small smile.

"Hey...is everything ok?" she whispered quietly, trying to put on a front of confidence for the man "I'm ok. Honest. Just a little nervous." She took a deep breath, then looked to Vlad "I think we're ready. What's first?"

@KatherinWinter
Upon hearing the last part about something worth $50 dollars Noelle perked up a bit. "Hey does that mean we could buy anything? Or are there limitations to what we can get?" I would like to buy some freaking ear plugs but if it is 50 bucks there is a whole realm of possibilities.

@Helo
Standing in the training room, and responding to Luke, Jakobe nearly chuckled and shook his head "Yeah...you have fun with that, man.." noticing the forked tongue. Did that dude have the DNA of a snake or Komodo dragon or something? Whatever, it would just be interesting how much damage the guy could do against these guards.

Hearing Vlad talk about the plans of what they were going to do, Jakobe tilted his head upon hearing about a prize and then clarifying what the prize could be but he felt there was a catch with gaining these prizes...like a price of it's own while being rewarded. He'd just have to see. The creepy ass expression didn't help matters.

@medalliah

Seeing Becca finally stabilizing her ability, Jakobe watched her when she spoke and asked him a question. She was obviously scared, he could tell. He was not going to bring it up but he was gonna simply encourage to do what she could. "I'm good, I was gonna ask you the same thing. Don't be nervous. You got powers like the rest of us. Kick some ass and do the best you..." He gave her a nod while looking serious to try and boost her up to do her best. The only thing that has him concerned is when facing skilled fighters in the arena Just who the hell would they face and what DNA would they have assuming they have powers and not weapons.

Jakobe was ready to get the show on the road.

@medalliah@Kit DewStein@Helo@King Tai


"Of course there will be restrictions on what kind of stuff you can get. You will not be allowed weapons or drugs. But most of the things that you can purchase online will be allowed. The reward is yours to choose." Vlad answered honestly. Once again he gave them a creepy grin. He would allow them to order whatever they wanted within reason. He saw no reason to restrict them too much. They were his way into the pockets of the government pockets.

@KatherinWinter@King Tai@Kit DewStein@Helo@Lemons

Becca gave Jakobe a nod and a small smile, whispering "I'll look out for you if you'll look out for me" to the bigger man. She stepped forward, looking to Vlad.

"Ok, I think we're ready...let's start."

@medalliah@Kit DewStein@Helo@King Tai

Roxy looked at the maze and knew that they would all be challenged in someway. She wasn't worried. She had survived this once she could do it again. She studied the others. The big guy was going to help the mouse. She had mixed feelings about that. But that was their choice. She was going to watch and see who could do what. Hopefully they had skills that could be useful.

@KatherinWinter@medalliah

Jakobe was not surprised about the restrictions. I mean, you wouldn't allow a mentally unstable bastard order bombs or other chemical weapons now. Either way, Jakobe couldn't think of what prize he would want...not that he cared for it. He had powers now...what could be better than that?

Looking to Becca when she answered, Jakobe gave a side smirk and gave her a nod. He then looked at Roxy wondering if she'd be of any help to them? Since she looked to have been here longer, it would be wise to get information out of her...that is if she would cooperate with him and Becca. Seeing Becca come forth first, ready to start, Jakobe looked towards the maze that was before them.

He was going to have to be careful because there is no telling what surprises could come about in these tests. The best he could do is learn quickly. He was now ready as well and looked back at Roxy, feeling he should go on ahead and ask her what all lie ahead.

@medalliah@Kit DewStein@Helo@King Tai
Roxy wanted the others to ask her for help. But she knew they wouldn't. Since Vlad declared her to be his 'pet' no one was going to trust her. It didn't matter that she would never give Vlad the information he wanted. She would take whatever punishment he dished out. But she doubted anyone would believe that. She knew in their place she would be wary of someone like her.

The maze had changed since last time. Which she had expected. The first test looked like a physical test. Jakobe was likely to have little trouble with it. He had already agreed to help the mouse. Whatever her name had been. Roxy hadn't learned their names yet. The girl wasn't likely to last long. She simply didn't have the strength to survive Vlad's ganes. She didn't know if she could pass the rest or not. Vlad tended to find a way to make sure that she didn't succeed.

Noelle was still not liking the maze test. She felt that even if she did it on her own it would show that she didn't depend on others which was a flaw in her eyes. Her friend seemed to want to do it solo so she looked for a different partner. The only one that was not exactly with anyone was the crazy man's pet. I don't know what exactly to think of her. She did escape before so she knows how the whole thing works. And she may have done some of these tests before....well I just hope she doesn't come off with a crappy personality. Though I think survival is key in this place. The girl walked over to the so called pet (@KatherinWinter), "Hey, do you want to team up temporarily for this test? Dependent on how we do on this one will let us know if we would be a good team for the other tests that happen."

@Kit DewStein
Roxy studied the girl that approached her. She was surprised that the bat girl would seek her out. Part of her wondered what had caused the girl to do so. Instinct maybe. It was hard to tell. The animal DNA affected everyone differently. While she didn't have outward changes she knew that her emotions and thoughts had been affected. She thought more like a cat now. At least according to the limited research she had managed to do she did.

She shrugged. She was willing to work with the bat. But Roxy didn't think that the girl would last long. She wasn't strong physically or mentally in anyway that she could tell. She wasn't sure what the other girl had to offer. She was willing to test the girl since she knew her own limitations. She pointed to the entrance to the test. "After you. Let's see what you can do."

@medalliah

Jakobe walked forth to join with Becca and looked down "I think we can work together." he said noticing Noelle teaming with Roxy. Jakobe was going to keep in mind that Vlad's pet seemed willing to work with others. The question he had now is will the bat girl be used and sacrificed by Roxy for Roxy to pass the test? He was going to find out soon. Jakobe turned and asked Roxy something @KatherinWinter "Hey...so only one can go in at a time right? Or can we actually team up? Will we have to fight robots or people and shit?" he asked her wondering if she'd actually tell him.

@medalliah@Kit DewStein@Helo@King Tai
"We're allowed to team up to certain extent." Roxy answered. It was hard to explain but she tried. "There will be all kinds of tests. Some will be mental, some physical and some will be based on the abilities of the animals we have been combined with. Let's say I go first. It looks like the first test is a physical one. I am most likely going to fail. But I have to try. Once I have tried and failed then anyone else in the group in allowed to help. But we all have to atleast try to do the test. Imagine how much fun that will be when we get to the flying test."

Maze:
First challenge:

@Kit DewStein@KatherinWinter@medalliah@Helo@Lemons

Hearing out Roxy, Jakobe took to mind the information she shared. With this, he looked at Becca. "Here...let me go first to try it." he said as he rushed into the maze to get the group started. Jakobe looked around for a moment while pushing forward ready to handle the first obstacle. It seemed he just needed to push up some wall. Jakobe stopped and looked at it for a moment to get down and test the weight of it. Pulling up, it was not heavy at all (to him at least) using my hand to pull and then push it up over his head and went threw before the wall fell down behind him.
