Calming down as nothing seemed to be coming close to him, Diego rummaged through the room, looking for things he could use. Smashing open a locked drawer, he found a pistol. Of course, he didn't recognize it, exactly, but had a rough idea of it's function. It's mechanisms seemed to be pretty similar to those orient imported weapons that seemed to have grown popular in his world. It's heft excited him, but didn't fill him with much confidence- really, nothing was going to make him confident now. Still, it improved his chances, and that's all that Diego could ask for at the moment. Clipping on the holster, Diego did a last check over the screens as he prepared to leave. It looked like the two figures were moving now, approached by a blob that could only be one contestant.
Diego recalled that the blob had powers to induce... Madness. He was curious, and almost wanted to touch it just to taste that feeling- but knew better. Instead, he hoped someone else would be fearless enough to dive into madness. It would allow Diego to whisper wild, dangerous things into their ears.
Diego laughed at the idea, briefly, and then froze as he exited the building and saw that he was in the heart of the employee section. The place where the figure had been was very close, as well- right next door, actually. Diego spread his air domain a little further, but still kept it relatively tight. If something DID enter his area, he wanted to be able to shift control of the air easily and quickly, although Diego wasn't certain how much help that would be.
Out in the open, Diego wasn't sure where to go. Although he had essentially seen a map of the place, the structures looked similar enough to confuse him. He didn't have clear direction. Part of him, a small part, wanted to go see the building the figure had been kept- the rest of him refused to have anything to do with it. He started towards the entrance to the main park, but immediately stopped himself.
"... I have to go. It's not a matter of confidence. It's an absolute need to fully grasp the situation." Diego told himself.
Yes, he needed to go to the building. There could be clues. There could be something he could use. Having a plan had nothing to do with it. Plans could only be created once a foundation was laid. It didn't matter if it was dangerous or not- it was a risk that he had to take.
Having his arms ready, Diego walked silently towards the building, which was actually a warehouse. It was dark, but he knew that already. Each time he moved he felt slight pangs of fear. He was unused to moving without knowing the reprecussions of each step beforehand, without having the probabilities and the concequences stabilized.
"Silence, Diego. Nothing has yet intruded your territory. Do not fear the unknown, know it."
Know it... Diego had to know it all. Anything less would be folly.
Inside the warehouse, Diego first smelled blood. Then, he smelled fecal matter. Grimancing, he pinched his nose and watched his step. In the one lit area of the warehouse, the one the camera focused on, there were metal restraints laying scattered on the floor, each link larger than his head. Whatever had been held here was large, like he had thought. However, the organic smells told him that the thing was alive, and very much hungry. And, considering he had not noticed it, visually or by feeling it's effect on the air, it was also capable of stealth. Diego's spine went cold, and he smiled fearfully. He had gained the knowledge. Now, he needed to apply it.
