In his slightly sleepy and twisty turny world state, Zascha had managed to return to the pool he had previously been to. Although the room was different from what it had been, he honestly couldn't tell.
Laying on his belly Zascha scooped another handful of water to his lips. And once again that odd feeling washed over him. His grasp of world experience seemed to dim and for a brief moment he could have sworn he'd gotten an inch or so shorter. And perhaps a bit scrawnier too.

It was like some cruel, sick joke.
Zascha couldn't make heads or tails of any of these rooms or pools. He made his way back to a pool of sleep and took another drink. The Hunter felt dizzy, the room spinning and lurching this way and that. It was a nightmare.
He had managed to get to his feet but that didn't last very long. And once again he was on the floor. Poking idly at flowers that were growing all around him. Eyelids feeling heavier with each passing moment.

At least the next pool was a different color. Or well, he hoped it was. Of course that could make little difference. Zascha was just thirsty and he wanted something to drink that didn't make him all sleepy and weird feeling.
But this one, it had an ominous feeling to it.
He was hesitant at first, but soon took a sip. For a second he felt nothing and then a subtle wave of paranoia crept into his mind. Which paired with the drunk feeling was horrifying as it continued to grow.
Was that a pink elephant stomping by? Holy crap what the hell just came out of that wall?!
Standing up a bit too fast he almost fell back into the pool but he caught himself. Anger began to well up inside him now and he kicked a bush of flowers, stomping on them a couple of times before he stopped and looked around. Oh crap he probably shouldn't have done that.
s**t s**t s**t.

Slowly he moved on to the next pool. Looking back and forth as he knelt before it and scooping water into his hand. Just a tiny bit this time. What the ******** just moved in the water?
He fell back onto his a**, startled.
But he couldn't help feel being drawn to the pool once more. Cautiously scooping another handful of water. Smacking the pool with his other hand to drive away anything that was lurking beneath the surface. Ready to pull him in.
Again his motor skills and thinking were slowing down even more. Zascha was unsure if he would be able to function much longer like this.

He was pretty sure he was never going to get out of this place. When he drank from the pool in the next room he wasn't quite sure if it had effected him now or not.
Again that voice in his head was yelling but words were hard to understand, let alone speak. He wished it would just shut up and go away.

[ Pool of Age ]
The skeleton woke again some time later, a string of drool suspended between his teeth.
"Wha'appened?" he drawled, cracking his jaw and slowly sitting up. The last thing he remembered was arriving at a strange palace and seeing five pools, one of which he was now partially submerged in. His hat was gone and so were his shoes. "Not... not nice," he scolded, the words thick in his throat. What was wrong with him?
Rojo rose to his shaky feet and scratched his skull. What had he been... oh, right! Drink from four pools blah blah death.
"Okay." He could do this.
With a deep, unnecessary breath and a hop to his unsteady step, Rojo moved on, dipping his leaf into a pool in the next room that complemented its vibrant green. He didn't feel much different after sipping the stagnant water, just a little taller. Rojo giggled, then shuffled out of the room.

[ Pool of Sleep ]
He shuffled out of the room and immediately tripped back into the purple pool. Rojo flailed a bit as he sank, loopy and disoriented, and when he hit the bottom, the calaca fell unconscious.

[ Pool of Fear ]
This time, Rojo woke up naked.
"Whostolm'clothez," he mumbled, distractedly wondering how he had even gotten out of the pool before deciding he didn't care. Whoever had dragged him out was probably the one who had stolen his coolest suit. At least he remembered that he was supposed to be drinking from pools. Not the purple one, though. He was sick of purple.
The skeleton wandered out of the purple room and into one that was so bright it hurt to look at. Even so, blinding aqua was not a color he had put his mouth on today, so he bent over and stuck his face into the pool, sucking down some of the bitter water. Almost immediately he noticed a change. The world had gone horrible.

[ Pool of Youth ]
Rojo ran, dodging forty foot piggles and flaming scareons as he screamed and wailed.
"THE DARKNESS IS HERE!"
"WE'RE ALL COGS IN THE MACHINE!"
"CLOUDS!"
Up ahead, an undulating green pool mocked him, tendrils of its water waving at him as he passed. One of them splashed into his mouth, and as soon as he swallowed in panic, a door slid open nearby and he was free.

Waits might have fallen asleep, just might have actually succumbed to the effects of the waters - especially after a second time. But he was roused from his slumber, peacefully at least and on his own and stared down at the pool and once again pondered if he had a flask of some kind before getting up once again.
He wandered between sections and dipped his hands in one of the pools at random. Once again noticing no change at all. Really... youth.

Zascha was literally dragging himself to the next pool. Dangling an arm over the side he looked at his reflection in the colorful water. Cupping his hand, he slowly lifted his hand to his mouth and drank.
If he thought things couldn't get worse well they certainly did.
The world around him twisted and turned. Colors became so vivid they hurt to look at. Nightmarish creatures phased through walls.
Zascha screamed, none of this made any sense. What the hell was going on.
In the end he somehow managed to find what he hoped was the damn exit to this place. Oh how he hoped it was the exit. Because there wasn't too much more of this place he could take.

Slowly, lazily, Waits seemed to drag his own body about to the next pool. The same pool as before. It seemed he was simply passing between two, back and forth.. back and forth. He was beginning to wonder why he was putting so much effort into moving when he was just going to end up back at this one in the end.
This time though, as he lay beside it, one of his hands fished into the folds and layers until he found a small gourd. He dipped it in to the pool that produced such a wonderful lull, bottled it as he had wanted to - this time having the chance and at least remembering the idea. He would save it for later.

Really, there was a pattern here or at least some weird twist of fate that brought him only to these two pools. Maybe this time it would actually work on him, taking away twelve years from him. A little more life to the old creature.

[ Enter ] - Pachua
From a maze to a series of pools, he was delighted at first to be sure, the idea of soothing pools of water that he could potentially swim in, soak in, and generally relax seemed too good to be true!
Naturally, it was. He read the warning carefully 'Drink the water of four four and then you may enter', if you do not drink, you will perish'.
He narrowed his eyes at that and sighed, wings drooping.
"Well, that's just marvelous isn't it." He sighed.
The Blue tinted water -seemed- the safest, it wasn't really a strange color or anything of the sort so that was where he chose to start, crouching and taking a sip from the pool, lifting it in a cupped hand and swallowing the brief taste of the water.
His heart beat quickened, and his feathers rose like hairs on the back of someones neck. Anxiety rolled through him like a wave and he was doing his best to keep his breathing even. It wouldn't do to try and make himself look bigger, just to give the game away by breathing like he'd just run a marathon.
"Ok…ok… this is fine… I just have to drink from three more pools."
He rubbed at his arms anxiously. "You can do this." he told himself and then jumped at some half heard conversation from another room.

He moved next to the purple pool, jolting slightly with every sound that he heard, turning towards each noise and raising his wings with every twitch to try in some vague way to look bigger, stronger, more intimidating so that nothing would bother him.
He scooped up a handful of the purple water, the idea of soaking in it was LONG gone by now, he was far too nervous to risk relaxing in the water.
The purple water slid down his throat and left a giddy feeling in its wake. It didn't by any means wash away the nervous feelings, but everything seemed somehow more…surreal, like wonderland, like a dream.
"Thas…strange." He murmured…and stared down at his hands, they were his, but they seemed not quite his own. He grabbed one of his own tail feathers and spend a long time tracing down the core of it and following each small fan of it to the tips, twisting it gently to watch the lightly prismatic effect that appeared in each 'eye' before he glanced up sharply, staring around the room and moved quickly away from the pool.
"Nop, nuuu can't shuuhit still." He murmured
