It seemed that whilst Kyonko and Cloudia were to be the sarcasm of the team, Rydia and Rinoa would be the two that would do things such actually figure out where to go.
The trouble was, being from different cultures, they thought different meanings of words sometimes.
"Well, that 'store' one obviously means a store room, so it might have some weapons." Rydia argued.
"And I think it means store as in shop. We'll be mannequins before you can say summer sales." Rinoa countered.
"...What?"
"Look, it's not a good place."
"The Maze... I'm good at mazes..." Rydia then said.
"Well, I'm not..." Cloudia shouted.
"I'm not too great in them myself."
The four looked at the next sign. Menagerie.
"...No way."
"Nope."
"I like being human still at least."
"Same here."
Rinoa sighed.
"So... Treasury. What's the betting we become the treasure?"
Kyonko sighed.
"My weight in gold is what I bet..."
"Ooh! Nice one..." Rydia applauded.
"Well... Only choice." Cloudia shrugged.
The gate led to a short path, leading to stairs down, and then to a large vault. The door was currently sealed, and there was a note beside it. In addition there was a machine with a square panel on the floor, a screen and a small printer nearby.
"...To enter vault, please weigh each member of group on panel to the left of vault door one at a time. Well, that's nice..." Kyonko muttered.
"Well, I'll go first..." Rydia offered. She walked on, and a screen lit up.
"...Knew it. Fifty-six kilograms flesh, nine hundred and nine point two gold... It's weighing us for statues."
"...Or just as gold..." Cloudia worried.
Rydia, notably, was not turned into gold, and was free to move off. She was also given a small printout of her weight.
"...It says I'm worth... forty-seven million US Dollars. What's that in Gil..."
"...Forty-seven mil..." Kyonko gasped.
"How much is that?" Rinoa wondered.
"It... It's quite a lot..."
"I see... Still want to know the gil cost..." Rydia sighed.
Rinoa shrugged and weighed herself. Her fifty-three flesh was eight hundred and seventy-eight point seven kilos of gold, or forty-six million. Kyonko's forty-five kilos flesh,seven-hundred and thirty point six gold was thrity-eight million. Cloudia, being shrunken, was only eleven flesh and one hundred and seventy-eight point six gold, for nine million.
"...What was the point in that?"
Another note was then printed from the machine.
"...Inside the vault we can exchange one of ourselves as statues for the others to get our value. With the money gained we can buy whatever we wish up to that value. Alternatively we can all work as Maids in the vault for a day, for twenty million dollars total between the four of us,. It says the minimum a statue costs is ten million, and other items are a minimum of two million... But we have to pick now what we do" Kyonko read.
The other three groaned.
"Greaaat..."
"...It also says the statues lower in price with age they're there. And that we can work as maids for another day for twenty million more but we can be bought by other groups for half our value as statues then sold for more money by making us statues. Or they can keep us as servants..."
