Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fia groaned as she woke up. The Horsewoman couldn't even remember when or where she went to sleep, let alone how she got into the room. Part of her wasn't surprise though, with the strange things in the village.

Her limbs felt tired, but she slowly stood up and looked around. Fia was definitely not alone in the room, but... What was going on?

She continued to look around and something caught her eye. There were interesting looking crysals on one side of the room. Fia crossed the room and placed her hand on one of the crystals. What were these doing in here?

The way Piper woke up, she knew it wasn't beauty sleep. For one, the floor was too hard, and she didn't have her usual pillow between her legs deal or the scent of jasmine or chamomile or whatever candle she had decided to burn the day before. For another, she distinctly remembered being in the midst of securing an egg last she checked. Groggy and grumbling, the ghoul picked herself off the floor with a squinty look, automatically touching her hair to see if it had been damaged in...well, she had no clue how she had gotten here, actually. Weird. Probably the stupid miasma's fault. That seemed to be the default for most anything that happened: blame the one weird phenomena that happened to be occurring this time.

At least she wasn't alone, so that was nice. "Here," she called as she heard her name, stretching her arms back with a wince as she went to join Lock. "What the Jack, amirite? I hope you and Voodoo got your nerd heads in gear, 'cause the Afroqueen don't do puzzles or riddles or whatever, and she definitely don't do caves." Maybe if they were lucky, Brenley would show up, and then the nerdiness would double and get them out quicker.

Well, she hoped Brenley would show for other reasons too. Mostly reasons like flexing her arms some more at him and wait like a puppy for the attention it got her, or showcasing her cool weapon upgrade, or telling him about how she totally blasted a dragon out of the air and saved a bunch of newbies, or really just talk to him at all. Maybe go make him fish another whale fin out for her needs since that stupid invisible creature from before sort of stole that up before it was wrangled. Seriously, what kind of field trip was this supposed to be before everything went to hell in a handbasket again?

Snapping her fingers as a gesture to get him to follow; no way was she going around alone until they figured out what Deep Voice or whatever had dumped them all in for some kind of loyalty test. As if helping them out until now wasn't good enough! Sally's stitches, her kindness was not something easily offered! "You seen anything weird that might be a clue to all this?" she asked as she checked her reflection in the water. Her appearance was not going to suffer just because of some bizarre lock in! Afroqueen had to look her best at all times, even when they happened to be slightly dire.

(And slightly minishit if you asked her honest opinion.)

"Jack damn it." Andrew stared at the pieces of paper in his hand and then looked at the other papers. Ok he could start there.

Andrew walked over and looked at the other pieces of paper, picking them up and being very careful with them.

Maddie was still utterly baffled at how exactly she had fallen asleep in the middle of nowhere, but, well, naps were nice every once in a while. Perhaps she had fallen asleep for too long because she felt absolutely exhausted. The fog certainly didn't help either.

After some time, she had realized she hadn't exactly fallen asleep just anywhere, but in some room. How did she even get here?
... wait. Did someone KIDNAP her? The nerve. Not that she could blame them, because she was too awesome to not kidnap, but still. THE NERVE.

Of course, the first thing she tried was the door, and of COURSE, it didn't open. She pounded on it a few times for good measure. Still nothing. She jumped at the voice, agitated with herself for being startled so easily, and grumbled. Why did she have to prove herself? Didn't they realize she was amazing and super awesome and...

She sighed, taking a look around. Whatever, at least she'd kill some time wandering around in this dinky place.
The first thing that caught her eye was the blood, and she went over to inspect the blood.

There seemed to be something in the bottom of the pool, but it was hard to read at this distance.

(Vaudrey did indeed want a new cloak and may or may not have quietly snuck it out of the coffin.)

He padded over to the table to examine it, fingers smoothing across the surface.

The shaman frowned as she squinted at the bottom of the water. She could try and get a closer look but what with all that had been going on in this village... Was she even by the villager anymore?

She shook her head once before staring back down into the pool.

A purse of her lips and a quick huff were her choices before she made her decision. Silannas stepped into the pool and squatted down to see it clearer.

Nothing happened
