Night 74: Fitness/Wellness Center (third floor)

The teleportation... things were just as bad as the ring, though like the ring, passing through the door to the third floor deposited them exactly where it had before: in the same nondescript fitness room. He wouldn't call standing on a mysterious pad trustworthy, per se but at least their trip had been fairly reliable so far.

"So far" being the important part of that sentence.

The vampire was quick to step away from the pad like it were a creature that might rise up and bite him in the ankles, turning away to give the room another once-over. "I see things haven't changed that mu--"

A squeak from his pocket interrupted him. What the hell? Aidou hadn't spent much of his life learning how to operate such cheap devices, so when he pulled out his toy radio, it was with a frown. Both radios had been rather quiet of late, but not tonight. Apparently someone had come across an interesting science experiment in their travels.

"This is it..." Korra stepped into the fitness room and had a wary look around. She frowned at the machines scattered throughout. No clue what those did.

There were two doors out of here, and from what she could remember from the map, they both led to the same place.

At least they seemed to be alone for now.

Tsubaki put her knife back where it would be within easy reach as she followed Korra through the door. Luckily, nothing happened beside the usual (and by now familiar) twist in her gut caused by the teleportation pad; when she stepped off and looked around, the room was as empty as the library and escalator room had been.

"Which direction do you want to head now?" she asked.

If danger was going to strike, it'd be up here where supposedly the Institute's most vulnerable areas were situated. They'd have to be much more careful and keep their guard up around the third floor.

"That map had a trail going through it that told us where we had to go first. It... said something about a few traps, and showed the rooms the panels would take us to." She nodded toward the door on the right, remembering vaguely that it would bring them closer to the room they needed.

"This'll take us out above the Sun Room."
