The ghoul offered an encouraging smile to Mitsu. “I have to! We’ll all have to, eventually, but you’ll be sure to go down the right one, yes?”
Hel just chuckled at Mot’s question, grinning widely at him before giving a nod of her head and then looking over at Shun. “Always.” She replied, but appreciated the grim reaper’s concern. The reaper stood at the stop of Slide D and peered down at it. “Alright…if it’s safe at the bottom, I shall holler…so listen, friends…if not…I should return!” The ghoul plopped herself down on the slide, and summoned her spear once more, holding it across her lap, and gave a firm nod to herself before sliding down.
The valkyrie rode slide D down, and was prepared to make a leap for it into the air with her wings incase it ended in disaster. She also had her spear out as well, to hopefully catch herself if she happened to slip through any holes.

Feeling the reaper take her wrist Mitsu turned up toward him sheepishly, blushing behind her mask. While there was a slight reddening to her skin where the statue had held on there was no real damage to be seen.
"I'm okay." Mitsu nodded, though the nervous tone was still in her voice. Hel's words were non to reassuring. Sure she knew they had to go down the slides to move on but....that didn't mean she was looking forward to it.

Hel would have her own surprise to deal with. As for the others, they would be left to their own devices.

Hel wasn’t sure what to expect as she made her way down the slide, spear ready. Somewhere inside was a sense of dread, of hoping there wouldn’t be something at the end of this slide that would lead to somewhere else…or even worse, end her. Everything seemed to be okay so far as she went around the curves quickly and through the loops, and if she wasn’t concerned about what was at the end of this, she would have been having fun!
Eventually though, the reaper caught the end in sight! It appeared to be a pool of water…ACK…she was about to get soaked. Oh well. Hel dismissed her spear and in no time flat landed into the pool with a splash. Upon surfacing, she couldn’t help but feel incredibly relieved to find that this was the right slide, and let out a burst of laughter out of joy and relief. The reaper moved away from the slide, and peered up from where she came, though she couldn’t make anything out in the fog, and cupped her hands around her mouth.
“OOOOOOOI!” She wailed as loud as she could up to her team mates, and hoped they would hear. “I HAVE SAFELY REACHED THE BOTTOM! THE SLIDE IS CORRECT. IT’S REFRESHING DOWN HERE!”
Was she going to bother to mention that it was a pool? No. She assumed everyone could swim, and besides, Riyo should just love the pleasant surprise once she reached the bottom…
Heh.

Shun carefully looked over Mitsu's wrist. It didn't seem like it was bruised at all which was a good sign. Just a little raw, but that wasn't too big of a deal. Nodding to her, he let go of her wrist and turned around towards the others on the ledge to get an assessment of how everyone was. Mot looked jumpy and Riyo looked just about as pleased as she normally did, only with a messed up tail now.
No big deal.
Hearing Hel call out to them, Shun turned towards slide D and nodded. Though, that comment on it being refreshing had him wondering what the hell she meant.
"Alright, we'll be down in a moment!" he called back before looking to Mitsu, "See? She's safe. I'll go down with you if that'd make you feel better."
He caught on that apprehension she had when Hel was sliding after all. Considering her fear of heights, he wouldn't be surprised if she was anxious about going down herself. He was probably underestimating this fact a fair amount.

Oh Jack, this was it. They were going to have to go down. Mitsu seemed to shrink back a little but because of the statues present she couldn't get very far. Her heart as thundering in her chest as if wishing for escape from this mess, willing to abandon Mitsu to deal with it on her own.
"Y...yeah." Mitsu nodded in a way but she didn't move any closer to the slide. Seemed their next challenge was going to be dragging her to it and forcing her down. While having Shun with her made her feel a little better it did not completely override the fact that they were so high. At least the bottom was safe though Mitsu wished she knew what Hel had meant by 'refreshing' as well.

While Riyo was busy fawning over her slightly askew appendage, her ears listened to the sound of sliding, which seemed to become more and more distant. No screams of agony? Well, maybe they'd picked the right slide.
Ah, yes. It sounded like they were in business... Though, had she heard a splash? And what was that about refreshing?
Oh well. There was nowhere to go but down, after all.
Avoiding Shun as she made her way towards slide D, the ghoul looked back at Mitsu temporarily. "Look at it this way Mitsu." The feline started as she looked down the slide and knelt down to stick her legs in. "The sooner you go down this slide, the faster you can be off this ledge and surrounded by solid ground." At least, that's what Riyo assumed...
Now, the only slide Riyo had really been on was one of those dinky playground slides... So she had no real idea of what to expect.
Which might explain the screech as she let go of the slide's sides and proceeded on her speedy way down.
Then the splash... And the gasp as she resurfaced.
The ghoul said nothing to Hel... She just stared, her eyes saying 'oh you b***h.'

Mot felt a wave of relief as Hel called back. It was safe, and so was she. Refreshing? Surely she meant it was refreshing to be away from the danger of the high ledges! Of course.
Mot watched with mild amusement as Riyo slid down with a screech. A chuckle escaped him, which became a laugh as the cat demon was out of ear shot. Too funny!
Mot sighed and shook his head, adjusting his bag and Hel's as he made his way to the slide. Mitsu's discomfort did not go unnoticed. "No worries, Mitsu! Shun will keep you safe." If his protectiveness was apparent to anyone, it was Mot. He went as far as to hit him over her once, after all. "See? Safe safe~."
Mot patted the slide before pushing himself forward, sliding down with a loud; "WHOOHOO!"
Yes, he had been waiting for this ride!
The thrill of the ride down was not even dampened (haha pun) by the sudden dunk into the pool.
However, Mot did not surface right away. First came both bags, bobbing in the water. Then his hat.
Where was Mot?
Hel would find she had sudden company, as a soaking wet Mot surfaced behind her and dunked her head under water. "BRAT!" He yelled with a grin, letting her go soon after.

Hel just continued to tread water as she waited for her team mates to come down, keeping her wings flattened against her back so that they wouldn’t hinder her while in the water. Times like these, she was happy that her wings were way smaller than her sisters…she could swim no problem, without worries of her wings becoming waterlogged and dragging her down… The reaper stared back up into the fog as she heard a shriek, blinking curiously, until she caught sight of who was coming down the slide first. Beautiful. How poetic and wonderful that Riyo should be the first down the slide, and couldn’t help but be oh so amused at that look Riyo gave her. Hel gave her a look of her own:  The ghoul stared back up as she heard another cry, laughing as she easily recognized that as Mot, and a few moments later watched the cowboil splash into the pool with them. She blinked as their bags and his hat floated along, and kept staring where Mot had landed, until she let out a gasp as she was pushed under. Oh ho! Hel wasted no time in retaliating, and when she was under, hooked a finger into his belt loop and pulled him under as well. Hel swam a bit away from him then, to where his hat was, and surface underneath it. Ha ha! It was hers, now. The reaper pushed it a bit more upon her head, and then swam back over to Mot, grinning. “ Is Shun persuading Mitsu?” She asked out loud.

Retaliation?! He should have expected it. Mot let out a yelp as he was pulled under by Hel. The reaper resurfaced with a gasp and watched where Hel had come back up. Wait... Gasp! His hat?!
...his hat...
Mot's mouth pulled into a disgruntled pout as she swam back with it on. It always felt so unnerving when his hat was not on his own head. "Yeah. Mitsu looks pretty rattled up there." Mot murmured, waiting for Hel to get closer.
Closer..
Mot pounced the winged ghoul, wrestling her for the hat.

The look Hel gave her made the ghoul's eyes fill with rage. Oh, this wasn't over. Riyo would get the valkyrie back...
... When they weren't in a huge pool of water. Grumbling, the cat ghoul started to paddle (yes, paddle) away from the duo. She didn't want to get caught up in the dunking and childish behavior. "I have a feeling he'll have to push her down." The ghoul sighed.
... What the hell were they doing? "Jack Skellington, why don't you two act your age?" Dunking and tackling each other in the water might've seemed fun to them... But they didn't know what the hell might've been in this place, either.

Everyone else had gone now, leaving the two of them up at the top. Nodding to Mitsu, Shun placed an arm around her so he could start ushering her towards the right slide, using as much force as he needed.
"Riyo has a point," he said after hearing the feline shout at them from below, "I promise you'll be alright. You can close your eyes if you need but I'll hold onto you."
He thought of letting her sit behind him but then there was that slight chance she'd stop herself from going down, leaving him to slide on his own. This way he could at least block her exit if she got any ideas of preventing it from happening.
"Come on."

“I’m sure Shun will work to get her through it.” Hel replied, unknowingly coming closer to further retaliation. “Ack!” The reaper struggled against the cowboil as she was suddenly pounced, wrapping an arm around his neck and kicking her feet hard to keep them above or close to the surface as she wrestled him back. “What lovely eyes, you have, Mot ~” Hel cackled, attempting to keep the hat away, before shooting a glance over at Riyo with a wide grin.
“You should act your age, Riyo!” The ghoul retorted. “Why don’t you come over and join us?” What was implied? You act too old, loosen up.

Hel's little taunt earned her a glare from the reaper, pursing his lips with disgruntlement. Truthfully though, he actually was amused. "The better to spot your tomfoolery with, my dear." He answered back, splashing water in her face and making another grab for his hat.
Aw, Riyo must be jealous of their fun times! Mot laughed at Hel's response to her. "Fun sucker~!"

Fun sucker? Riyo's eyes rolled at Hel's suggestion to join their idiotic display, preferring to keep at least a couple of feet inbetween her and the reapers. "I DO act my age." Riyo didn't seem to catch it. How could you act too old? It was a preposterous thought.
"And I would rather drown than join the two of you."
