Pickworth stood up, in the grip of fear and with a slighty wilder expression than usual. His hair was unruly, and with strange confidence he drunk from the flat-looking purple pool, and everything spun out of control.
He felt like the only fixed spot in the center of madness. Everything flashed a hundred different colors. The walls melted. The floor turned into flowers, then bugs, then balloons.
"Bis drei zählen. Augen auf, ich komme!" He said, and his voice too was oddly clear.

Another sip proved to be too much for Taima, and she passed right out at the edge of the pool.

'Drink the water of four four and then you may enter'. "Well I certainly don't think it's wise to drink random bodies of water during an adventure such as this! Wouldn't you agree-" Ah. Right. Bastion was alone. He'd almost forgotten that he'd lost sight of his companions soon after entering the corridors, and now he was standing in front of a bunch of pools, talking to himself. (Not that talking to himself was something uncommon for him. He did it every day.) "Well then, what else does it say here.. If you do not drink, you will...... ah. I see. Drink or perish. Right then. Drink it is!" He wasn't a fool. He took a vial, and dunked in some water. Then he took a very careful, very delicate sip. "Mm. Just water, then. I suppose this won't be so awful, after all." It was far too easy for him to never realize that he'd just filled out, and filled up. He was a stronger man now, and wiser. Wise enough to know that to keep drinking, and quickly. Quote: Rolling at 2: You drink from the pool of age. Every single time you take a sip from the pool, your (physical and mental) age increases by five years as does your maturity. If coupled with the pool of age, it resets your age and then adds five years to it. Drink 1/4 1/10 tries

When Taima eventually awoke, it was with a pounding headache and the awareness that the room was still spinning around her. The pain in her head made it less entertaining and drove home the fact that she needed to get out of here, now. She dragged herself away from that pool in particular, wobbling and stumbling to a different one. Four, the pillar had said, and she'd only done one.
She staggered to a stop next to another one. It took a few tries, but Taima eventually managed to take a sip of the water. She immediately felt 10 times worse than she had before, her body smaller but containing the same amount of whatever had made her feel so out of it in the first place. She wanted--needed--to get out now, to feel the embrace of fresh air. She didn't want to be stuck in a room, ever, and she didn't want to die here, and maybe her dad had been right all along and she should never have gone to Amity. She would go home to the eyrie and forget all about that place, just as soon as she could make both wings flap at once.

Another vial, and another sip. Bastion thought he was doing quite well so far! No adverse effects he could figure out, and he certainly wasn't getting sick. What more could he ask for? "Well this is just a fine way to fix a parched throat and a weary spirit. You didn't need to threaten us with perishing after all, mysterious words on the wall!" Again, just talking to himself. Drink 2/4 Age - Youth Quote: Rolling a 6: You drink from the pool of youth. Every single time you take a sip from the pool, your (physical and mental) age decreases by three years as does your maturity. If coupled with the pool of age, it resets your age and then subtracts it by three. If you hit 1 year somehow, you stay at that. 2/10 tries

"I have but two sips to go. And then it's time to move on to something more taxing." He took another vial, and filled it with a new pool's water. Then he sipped it, and put the vial down. The world grew heavy, as did his head. "My, I thought I was recharging, but perhaps.. perhaps a little nap." He reasoned with himself, crawling down onto the ground and curling up into fetal position on it. "Just a little nap. Mm? Yes.." Drink 3/4 Age - Youth - Sleep Quote: Rolling a 3: You drink from the pool of sleep. Every single time you take a sip from the pool, you fall into a dream-like state where everything seems surreal, much like being drunk. All words get slurred/ hard to say. If coupled with the water from the pool of fear, you enter a strange, crazy, acid-trip nightmare world. 3/10 tries

All Taima wanted was to go home. She wasn't ready for these kind of adventures, not yet, maybe not ever, and she felt bad enough to actually admit it. She knew what she had to do in order for that to happen, though, and made her way unsteadily to another pool. She took a sip, and the headache abated significantly, although everything was still a little fuzzy at the edges.
She still needed some air--and no sooner had she thought that than she was surrounded by a cooling breeze. That was...surprisingly not unexpected. On the contrary, it felt almost natural. Curious, Taima peered into the water and was startled to find that she looked older. Not taller, unfortunately, but a little more grown up. She had shed what little baby fat she had carried and was all long, thin lines. Her wings felt heavier, too, as if they had grown with her. She felt calmer now than she had just moments ago, as if with age had come the ability to deal with the unexpected a little better.

"...medicine?" The groggy state that Mimsy was in caused her to lose more than a few words, and she cautiously sniffed the vial of liquid to figure it out for herself. It didn't smell like medicine, but it still could have been a trick. Could he trick her like that, if he said he would protect her? That seemed like it wouldn't be very fair, she thought, so drinking this would probably be safe. Unless he was lying, of course, but she had all but forgotten about accusing him of that nine years ago. She put her hand on top of his - or a portion of his, at least - and helped guide the vial close enough for her to take a drink. Once she had, the hand atop his got even smaller, and the cloth of the scarf became more of a bundle than a dress. The glasses that she had managed to keep on until now fell askew on her face, and her hair was in two low pigtails, too short to be worn in braids yet. Mimsy was four years old, and had never been held with such care in all of her life. There was no more squirming, and she had taken on an almost alarmingly doll-like state of still and quiet in his arms. Her breathing had calmed, and it seemed that she had resigned herself to examining the world from a distance rather than actively attempting to take it all apart, as her gaze wandered curiously around the room. It was difficult for her to keep her eyes open, in spite of all of the fascinating things to see and discover here, and her heavy lids fell in a long, slow blink as she looked up at him. "Now...sleep," she murmured, rubbing her cheek against him as she snuggled up close. She barely finished yawning again when she decided to tack on one last thing before her promised nap, because it seemed important. Hopefully not too important, since the sentiment was barely audible, with nothing even close to clear enunciation. "An', um...love you, Mister." Quote: You drink from the pool of youth. Every single time you take a sip from the pool, your (physical and mental) age decreases by three years as does your maturity. If coupled with the pool of age, it resets your age and then subtracts it by three. If you hit 1 year somehow, you stay at that. 3/4 (10 rolls) Current Effect: Youth + Insanity + Youth + Youth + Insanity + Youth + Youth + Youth + Sleep + Youth (Physical/Mental Age = 4)

Stupid boils. Well if he thought he could drink more of the pee water and not get scared or disgusted, then he had another thing coming! (There was no reason to contest this other than she felt like it all of a sudden).
It seemed more reasonable after her second sip. Piper knew she was the ebst after all, and the best meant drinking more pee water. In fact, maybe she ought to drink some more. Or throw Ignatius in it. Or make him drown. Wait, ghosts couldn't drown . . . nevermind.
"You should go find Bren,"[/clor] she suggested to the boil, as the pool was starting to feel more and more like it belonged to her anyway. Maybe that was the real point of this test. "I'll watch the water. Maybe fish will come soon."

Being older, wiser, more capable--this could definitely be useful, Taima decided as she took another sip.

Bastion tried to shake the sleep out with several lazy head shakes. It was nearly impossible to even lift his head, so instead he threw his arm over his body, and into one of the pools. He cupped it in the cold water, and brought it to his lips to drink. Just one more, he told himself, still half asleep. One more and you're safe. One more and you can be with Noni, and Lushka, and - Unless Noni and Lushka were in trouble. The sleep began to fade in place of a crippling, horrifying fear. He stood up slowly, bumbling around as he tried to regain his bearings. "Nonnnni. NONIIII." His slurred voice called out, as he stumbled towards the exit. "I'm comingggg Noniii. Lushka keep her saaafe, I'm almost theeeere. I'M COMING!" The bumbling, half asleep oaf eventually made it to the exit, falling right through it onto his face, but making it there safely nonetheless. Drink 4/4 Age - Youth - Sleep - Fear Quote: Rolling a 4: You drink from the pool of fear. Every single time you take a sip from the pool, your heart begins to pound a little faster. At first it isn't too bad but the feeling compounds until even the smallest squeak will terrify you. If coupled with the water from the pool of sleep, you enter a strange, crazy, acid-trip nightmare world. 4/10 tries

[ Pool of Sleep ]
"Fish? No no~!" laughed Ignatius, his voice still oddly sing-song as he gazed towards the water. "Deep under the yellow sea lives the kraken of gold and meade!" He brought his face close to the water again, pondering some of the yellow water that shined like his eyes, but then suddenly decided not to, so he could take his kraken-legs towards another pool, wobbling and waving his arms around much like he wasn't actually a ghost at all.
These pools were certainly starting to get to him.
Ignatius eventually arrived at the pool of sleep again, failing to find Brenley at all and instead finding himself face-to-face with the water that made him feel a little light and happy the first time. He definitely needed more now that he was a majestic beast of glory. Immediately, he dunked his head into it, slurping the water like he had gills.
When he emerged out of the water, he giggled, flopping on his back. The world was spinning around above him, round and round, it was like a ferris wheel!

Taima finally felt confident enough to move on. She knew she had to drink from one more pool in order to move on, and she knew which ones she was definitely not going to choose. Of the two she hadn't partaken of yet, neither seemed either more or less likely to result in death or danger or further discomfort. Ultimately, she chose the one closest to the door because it would allow for a quicker escape if one was needed.
She took a deep breath, swallowed a palmful of water, and was almost immediately glad she had made that decision. The blurry foliage seemed to come to life, and when they started chasing her, she didn't have far to go in order to get away.

[ Pool of Sleep - no drinkies ]
Now soaking wet and unnaturally chilly, Bren had an actual reason to run, but he couldn't even manage to do so when he needed the heat. He plodded along as quickly as he could, back in the direction he thought he had come. While he had no idea how many varieties of water he had sampled or what his mission was anymore, he did remember that he had told the others he would meet them at the blue pool. He found Ignatius at its edge, a knife in every color of the rainbow and more jutting out of his chest.
"Bli... Ignatius?" Not wanting to touch anything remotely sharp, Brenley's hands fluttered around the phantom knives then clutched at his sopping shirt, squeezing green liquid out onto the ground. "Did you die?" He couldn't tell using blurry vision alone. Plenty of people nearby were walking around with implements of destruction jutting out of them too.
