Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Okay okay smarty pants, it looks like a** for NOW. But look it still has the bare bones!" The most difficult thing about pools was the cement, and making sure there was no cracks to make the water leak out.

Call her captain optimistic, but she was semi lost in thought, making a 'hmm' noise as she approached the pool closer. Crouching close to the edge, she picked up a piece of glass that was closer to her and tossed it away. "I think the biggest question is do you know how to check to see if it works? Or do you know someone whom might?"

She thought about his other questions some, taking a second to stare out at the fog that was curling through the shattered windows. Reaching a hand out she let it curl around her body as well, semi cool to the touch. "Its really not as thick here, and... well. If hunters do it to go home every day, why not us too? If we came in groups or... i don't know." She was babbling a bit herself now, wondering if anything she was saying made sense.

She would not come up here alone thats for sure.

"It would allow for fun times, and even training. As someone semi medical trained even i can not argue with the effects swimming has on the body.

Or we could, you know, ask the superiors for a pool closer to home."

"Oh sure if you want to reopen that wound on your side, beeee my guest buddy~ But dont come crying to me later." She would not fix it, nope nope~

Awh hell yes she would, but she probably would have called him a fool, along with other choice words.

Though as he got inside the pool she felt herself rolling her eyes. "Now thats the Bix we know and love." She stayed perched on the edge, not really wanting to go into the glass filled pool. The water that was inside was so green she could smell the muck from here.

"Who says you'd be the only one enjoying the views?" Her smile grew larger, teasing. "Though some people i might need to put blinders on for." Because wow, there could be some hideous people in deus. She wont name names. "Don't worry, your names on that list so yuor ego is safe, archer boy. Though as your nurse i suggest you wait until those stitches are out until you swim. Dont trip in that muck over there either." Trainee moon could fire orders man.

Standing up she moved around to the other side of the pool, where it was deeper. The water was pooled the most on this end. "....Who says i wear a Bikini anyways?" She brought up a little late.

"Hmmm if we strapped you to the ceiling and shined a light on you, would you be our disco ball?" She jsut could not resist, the mental image she got was...rather amusing. The bikini comment was dismissed with a wave of her hand though, he would have to WAIT and see what she wore.

She winced though as he fell, feeling her instinctual protective instincts kick in and almost make her brave the 12 foot drop to make sure he was ok. Almost. "The shopping carts are conveniently placed in there to help cart out fools whom fall on their asses, clearly."

She paused, damn her instincts. Healing + being protective is what made her a damn good moonie. He was a sun too, someone her division was made to protect.

"You ok though?" She started to move around to the side of the pool where it would be more of a sane drop if she really did need to get in there.

"Hmm should have known, you do have padding back there." Yes she looked, sue her. "I'll remember next time you fall on your rear end that you bounce then." She grinned and walked towards the ladder he was climbing. Once she was close enough she offered him a hand to help hoist him up the last few, if he wanted to that is. That couldn't be comfortable.

"I have never met this girl, should i be jealous?" Joking of course. Ceres quirked an eyebrow at someone whom loved to dye their hair such crazy colors. She had to fight the urge to mention that dying your hair too much kills it. The other woman seemed like someone whom was fitting for a cannon ball type weapon, though.

"She sounds like she knows how to make a statement." Once Bix was back to the outside of the pool, she nodded in the direction of the room with the 'do not enter' sign. "Want to check it our or done adventuring for the day? Your butt need to rest after the abuse it just took?" Literally.

"Keep talking like that and you sir just might find a boot up the butt in your near future. We'll see how sturdy that thing holds up." She grumbled to herself, face tinged red with the teasing. Geez he never let up did he?

Then again she did walk right in to it. Sigh.

"Yes I'm trying to yank you into a little, cramped closet filled with a pool pump and probably more glass so i can steal your virtue. Such would be a girls goal in life, yes?" She punched him on the arm a second after the door was open, walking past him so she could step in there first.

...It was a small room, filled with cobwebs, and large rusty looking machinery. There did not seem to be anything wrong with it, but then again Ceres did not know much about this. There was at least no giant holes or anything in it that was a good sign yes?

"... What do you think?"

She opened her mouth to reply about 'not seeing any spiders' a second before the door behind them closed and set the room in to total darkness.

With that one little action she suddenly became hyper aware of one sensation... the room was not that large. The door was closed. And she suddenly was starting to feel like the room was caving in on her. It started off small, but her breathing was starting to pick up. Something in the silent room he might be able to hear.

"..haha...Funny.. Bix... Trying to scare me?" Where was he anyways? She could barely see a thing.

The combination of the clank, the small dark room, plus the banging open of the door would have been enough to frighten anyone. A high pitched "EEEEEEK" is what reply he got, certain that was the reply he was going for. Maybe.

What he probably did not expect though, was the heavy stomp of her booted foot against his own in retaliation from the shaking. Plus the fact that she crumpled down, lending her weight almost fully against his own. Maybe the tears that ran warmly down her face would be a surprise even.

And sniffle she did.

The second the waterworks started, it was honestly hard to stop them. Even when he pulled her out of the room, and she felt herself relax, she could not stop the panic fully. It was set in, and she had not experienced a episode this bad in a long while so it was overdue. Reaching up she wrapped her hands around him, as best she could anyways, forgetting in the meanwhile about the wound. She pressed her face against his chest until the sobs start to lessen, but he would find a wet stain in his shirt where her face once was.

Looking up, eyes red, she shook her head as he seemed upset by her reaction. "No...not you." She managed to sniff out, once the hysterics calmed a little more. Ceres truly might have laughed after the initial 'eek' if it had not been for the blasted enclosed space. "Not mad..at you. The room. I thought it would be okay, until the door closed." Clearly she was not afraid of the dark was she? It couldn't be that easy.
