"Why? Aren't we supposed to use the key?" he said, taking his hand and crossing.

"Oh... I'm pretty sure we were supposed to..." Yuki said in a rather dark, and almost vengeful voice...
As he took Blink across, it would quickly become evident as to why Yuki sounded so. Even through the blurry vision that the veil provided of the material world, it was easy to see the spider web of strings attached to exploding tags inside this room. If the door had of been opened, it would have sent off one blast after another that would have rippled down the steel stair column, catching Blink and Yuki in it's blast...
From here, the cause of the clock's malfunction was also evident... The exploding tags were preventing one of the gears from turning...

"....do you think they were trying to blow us up or the mayor?" Blink said in a concerned tone, looking at the strings closely. He couldn't believe they were almost blown up.

"That fat greaseball?" Yuki asked in the haunting tones of the forceless wind-swept veil. "The only thing he'd get up for is to check on supper.... No... I don't think it was for him persay.... But it couldn't have been for us either.... Except... You were requested specifically... Weren't you?" Like a clock, the gears in Yuki's brain were going now...

Blink looked up, "wait, it couldn't be for me...who even knows me? Maybe they sent me knowing you would be coming?" he suggested.

Yuki shook his head. "They'd have no way to know I'd be the one with you. That was a pretty random choice by Tsunade. It could have just as easily been Cirrus or Otomeken..." Yuki thought a second longer.... "But it could be just to get someone else here... Someone specific... But who? Who would they send if you were hurt or killed... Probably an ANBU..." The gears were still clicking, but no alarm bells being set off yet... It was too big of a puzzle and not enough clues yet...

"Well, maybe the trap will give us some clues to who set it up..." he offerened.

Yuki nodded. "Ok, let's neutralize the trap, and get to work then. I can freeze the tags so they can't explode... Any other ideas?"

"I don't know much about other towns but is there anyway we can tell where the tags are from? Or are they all generic?" he asked, "Freezing is probable safer then my idea. Lets do it."

Yuki was curious about Blink's idea, but didn't want to waste time either... He nodded. "We might be able to trace the caligraphy," he offered, but had an idea the dialect of the writting would be an even better hint...
He looked around until he found a safe spot to cross back over once more, which happened to be on the ceiling, hanging upside down... "You ready for this?" Yuki asked, making sure Blink could hold himself up there while Yuki worked on turning the rest of the room into an icicle....

Yuki got a thumbs up and stuck to the ceiling, "once their frozen, they won't explode, right?"

Normally, this would have been the point where Yuki would be liable to joke around, but he didn't seem much in the mood for comedy right now. "Now, we'll be safe," He said, and performed the seals for his Kyoukan no-jutsu.
The large room was filled with an icy cyclone that incased the tags in condenced ice, turning the room into the layer of an artic spider whose web was of frost...

Blink set to work, carefully extracting the strings from the tags and collecting them up, keeping a close eye in the gears to be sure they didn't rotate.

Like most things in the room, the gears of the clock too, were incased in ice.
Diligently, Yuki as well was dismantling wires from tags, but leaving the tags where they were for now, not really knowing a safer place for them....

Blink finished up quickly and scanned the room, "maybe we can find out who asked for me to come?"
