GM POSTCady just took a bite out of the perfectly normal wooden door, causing the lock to become loose and for the door to swing open.
Hope you're proud of yourself, Cady.

Cady chewed the chunk of door thoughtfully, and swallowed.
Some kind of oak, maybe. A little dry, and the varnish was cheap. She picked a splinter out of her teeth and strolled through it nonchalantly.

Willow stared back at Cady as she chewed the door... apparently that works. "Wow..... I didn't know you you could eat that..."
The tiger looked a little impressed as she followed behind Cady.

It seemed that even though Cady had proved to be a dangerous asset at first in that oven it turned out she would be the one to help them progress forwards. Although Bul wasn't fully convinced she wasn't out to eat him he felt a lot more comfortable now that even as delicious looking spookies they avoided a terrible disaster.
For now.
Bul looked to his fellow teammates and headed to the hub in all his naked goodness.

Damien was grinning like some kind of maniacal cat at the boil that was glowering at him, it only just make him chuckle even harder. It didn't even stop when the sock was returned to him, dangling off his ear like some kind of earring.
But the way out was open thanks to Cady and her face. He'd have to keep wary of that part of her as he followed the others out with a pep in his spookie suit covered step. He only hoped nobody else would think he was delicious too.

It wasn't long before the manticore managed to eat her way through the door... Not only was Cady a crazy good dancer, her determination and eating skills were inspiring. Bea was impressed with her display.
Bea applauded her and followed them through the door.

... What the Jack?!
As the mist slowly cleared, a quick glance around the room would confirm that they were in a bathroom where everything was enormous. They were standing on the edge of a bathtub filled to the brim with warm water - which would explain the humidity as well as the warm "mist".
They were even dressed for such an occasion! All the boils had a towel wrapped firmly around their waists and a sponge in one hand; they got this distinct feeling that they should not drop the sponge and have to pick it up. All the ghouls had a towel wrapped around their chests, reaching their knees, and a body scrubber in one hand. Looking under the towels would reveal bathing suits. They were also still carrying their backpacks, with their supplies.
Disappointed?
For some reason, you find your attention focused on a strange four by four grid filled with puzzles at the other side of the bathtub, which looked more like a giant lake to you. There is a strange sort of something to it, a compulsion if you will... It's as if the puzzle wishes to be solved. Besides, you can't find an exit anywhere - perhaps solving the puzzle might reveal the way?
An attempt to go near the water brought about a new discovery.
There was something in the bathtub... Something with tentacles which grab and tug at anyone who goes too close to the water's edge, pulling them under... They'll need a way to distract it first - perhaps by making someone dress in drag and do the hula as live bait?
... Nah.
[OOC Notes:
-> The Puzzle will not be shown till you get to the other side! :V
-> Post ways to distract the tentacled creature in bold + orange so I won't miss it!
-> Design/type of bathing suit up to you!
-> Your backpacks (if you brought one) is still with you, but any clothing you brought had mysteriously vanished.]

ENTERING FROM HUB
Not sure what to expect nor how to react, Bul was only crossing his fingers that the next room was anything but the icey snow world he'd butt heads with earlier. Given that he was only wearing a kilt he imagined it would not bode well with his... body at all. Much to his surprise though the room opened in the faintest cloud of steam which made his spines tingle with delight. "Ooooh where are we now?" he asked, glancing back for when his other teammates may join him.
Observing the area around him he began to make out the strange figures lined up around them and slowly became aware... this was.... a giant bathroom. Looking down to his toes he scratched the surface he stood on. "Porcelain? Giant duck, bar of- no ******** way-"
Laughing to himself the half beast peered forwards to see that there was a massive pool of water that stretched almost beyond his line of vision.
Yea those swimming lessons he had during the summer? Nothing he'd spent his seeds on could compare to the value of such event. Given the humidity of the room Bul could only speculate that the water was in fact luke warm if not mild. Before he would dip a toe in though he could sense the danger lurking. There was nothing about these rooms that wasn't a trap. If it was too good to be true then it damn well wasn't.
Funnily enough the boil felt no significant change in his attire other than the sponge he was given. Half tempted to throw it in the water he narrowed his eyes at the object and stashed between his side hip and the towel. "Yo is that Rile-" A large tentacle made a small splash in the distance and Bul gulped.
"Riley?"

((ENTERING FROM HUB))
Cady stepped in and immediately gasped a little at the change in atmosphere. It was so humid. And there was something on the back of her neck- her hair? Yes, as she took personal inventory she realized her formerly modest clothing had been changed out for a bronze-colored unishouldered swimsuit and a towel. Her clothing and hair-piece was nowhere to be seen, and her curly bronze locks instead dangled limply around her face. She also held a strange device in her hand. It looked an awful lot like a sponge stuck on the end of a stick.
What on earth...?
And then she looked up and saw it. It sprawled across the horizon; the far size of it was only a glimmer, almost a mirage, in the distance. She moaned in fright as a giant rubber ducky bobbed over on their side. There was even a matching bar of soap not far in the distance. She clung to the wall, backing as far away from the tub as possible.
They wanted her to take a bath.
"We need to leave. I. Where is the door? Bath. No no no no..." She whimpered pathetically to her teammates. Cady was soooo not up for this.

((Entering from the Hub))
Entering back into this room was a lot like a roulette wheel, Damien had no clue what he was going to get, and due to his lack of proper attire, he wasn't hoping it was cold for once. Lo and behold after dropping back in, his arms and legs were greeted with a more humid and less warmer atmosphere that only made him feel less apprehensive. "What on Halloween's........" he couldn't even finish the sentence as green eyes peered through the mist and out at the rather large body of water and its equally large in stature rubber duck and bar of soap.
"Its Bathtime already?" he asked innocently until the tentacle that splashed further ahead made the water splash and his ears twitch in concern. "Right, I don't think its time for us to swim yet." the hell-hound said with apprehension as he secured the towel with an extra knot that appeared on his form. He would gladly take that over nothing. "its still Riley's bath." he replied back to the half beast and gave Cady a concerned headtilt at her panicky disposition.
"uh what's wrong Cady? is it because it's a unisex bath?" he didn't see the problem, there was enough space in there for the five of them, just not with whatever was out there waiting for them to take a dip.

"A...A what?" Unisex? What on Halloween?! Somehow that sounded worse than being naked and oily in the Hub again.
"Cadys do NOT take baths," she responded curtly. "Especially not with, with- tentacles," she added, gesturing at the water.

Willow entered the room and sighed happily. "AHHH a bath!" After having been in that hot room and the snow and then that oil. A bath was well welcomed. Her ears flickered as she looked at Cady, "What's wrong with a bath? You don't like water?" Willow asked curiously her head tilted as she paused.
Noticing the tentacle, "Oh... I didn't know Riley was here." She peered at the water before walking back her tail flickered. She paused looking around, "Though I suppose that is bad..." There was a moment where she thought and looked at Demi and then Bul back to Cady.
"Sooo how do we get past the tentacles?" She asked keeping the towel around her chest for now.

"Past...the...You want. To get in the bath?" Cady hissed. She felt a slight tug, something made her want to get to the far shore, sure- maybe it was the exit?
"Why are we so tiny, anyway?" Cautiously, she stepped away from the back wall, gesturing at the giant ducky that loomed ahead.

"You don't... baths aren't your thing?" Bul asked Cady with a shrug. "It's okay they weren't mine for a while either. You... can swim right? Or.. fly? Maybe..? I wouldn't test Riley-monster though, those tentacles look like they could easily grab us from here."
Great, more thinking. "Cady what do you think? We have to get over I mean... whatever we do even if you don't get in the water but that uhm... thing has us covered from every direction. It's clearly bigger than us. And probably faster. Demi."
Bul reached up stroking his goatee next to Demi and raised a brow. "Tentacles really really really like ghouls. We have to keep them away from them or we're all boned. What do you think bro?"
