It called to her the neon light shining through the Ruins so bright, so red. She walked along and frowned at the way the water clung to her legs. The plazas were connected, tiled, beautiful but flooded. The water was a nusience, but it also enhanced the beauty of the place, everything tiled and shiny and glowing. Rain fell and soon she found herself dripping, but she moved towards the gentle glow, not the red bright glow, but the gentle glow that warmed her insides.
She moved towards a small building, the warmth eminated from this place. She touched the door, then pushed, but it wasn't budging. The water was deep and made everything heavy and slippery. She decided to look around the building and hoped she would find some other way in.
As she circled the building she suddenly stepped into a sinkhole and gasped swallowing a mouthful of water before flailing a bit and swimming back up. She grabbed the slippery edge of the tiles and wriggled her way back up and out gasping. She knelt for a moment chest deep in water and struggled to catch her breath.

Recovering from her sudden sinkhole slip she slowly stood, now she was completely soaked and looked like a drowned rat to boot. Disgusted she moved with much more care. Walking towards the side of the building the ground under her subtly changed from tile to soft squishy...mud? The gentle sway of plants floating around her legs alerted her that she was in what was once a garden.
She bent and saved a sadly floating bloom before noticing a small entrance. Tucking the wet flower into her dripping hair she wriggled in.

Her legs kicked slowly as she swam inside the building the pitiful little flower still tucked in her hair. She looked around paddling slowly about before she realized the soft glow came from below. She looked down frowned at the vast depth of the water that filled the 'basement'. She peered harder but couldn't seem to see the bottom.
She followed the trail of the red neon, but it just seemed to go down...down...down-wait there seemed to be a soft glow, not red, this was what she sought.
There was a dome, hopefully full of air because it seemed very deep. She examined it a moment longer worried and then realized she'd best try to get to it before she used up all her strength just paddling on the surface.
She took a deep breath arched up and plunged herself down. She kicked furiously and her arms cut through the water as she went. Finally she seemed to be reaching the dome and her lungs burned with the need for air.

She reached the dome, and suddenly it sucked her in a current pulled and spat her out inside where the chill air made her shiver. She gulped in deep breaths and offered up a word of thanks that this spot was dry. After taking a few moments to wring her clothes and hair out and catch her breath she stood.
It was beautiful, magnificent, despite the rust the arches that held up the delicate glass dome awed her. It seemed so fragile, so unexpected and then she saw it a smaller dome and within the blessing.
She looked down at the tarnished copper gears on the floor between her and the small dome. She crouched and tried to move one, it moved but it didn't unlock the dome.

She moved the gears again, it was harder this time the metal hadn't done well in all the water and she struggled. Nothing, yet.

Hmmm, no clearly that wasn't the way. She pushed the gears back instead while looking over at the dome for any signs that she was close. It remained closed to her, so she tried to move the gears again.

Despite her efforts the little dome remained and the blessing was locked to her. She shoved the gears again into a different arrangement wondering how many ways there were to turn them, how long until she solved this.

She was determined, she looked at the gears and then the dome and back again. There had to be a way, a method to it that would yield the desired results. She moved the gears again.

Finally as she moved one gear the dome creaked open, everything was aligned as it ought to be. She moved towards the blessing and then looked up startled as everything trembled. Terrified of what would happen if the dome shattered she hastily grabbed the blessing and rushed out.
Swimming was easier she found with the warmth of the blessing pressed to her chest. She escaped the watery building and slowly pulled the drooping fragile flower from her hair, it might seem futile, but she would plant it and see what grew anyway.

The light was haunting, and Elium found himself drawn to it--in a better way than the 'light' at the end of the tunnel that had slammed into him with such force that he could've sworn he'd died again. In retrospect, that was...probably what had happened, there. The area he'd wandered into was beautiful, but in the same way, it terrified him--there was far too much water here for his tastes, but he could feel something down there. A blessing, perhaps? Might as well find out, but first, he had to find a way into the building...
...and after a few minutes of futile searching, Elium eventually kicked a door in his irritation, sending him back into the water and causing an awful lot of flailing and splashing as he pushed himself to the surface. In better news, there was an open grate as a result--that was acceptable.

Shaking his head at his own stupidity, Elium jumped in, plunging himself into the water with a hand on his hat and another on his bag's strap. He could release the bag when he got moving, but the hat was another story, and he wasn't about to let that thing go floating off into the abyss.
Distance: 81/60. < +10 due to not...needing to breathe.>

That certainly went quickly. Probably had something to do with the fact that he was trying particularly hard to get out of the water, there. Being dropped into the dome was a blessing in itself, even if it wasn't particularly comfortable. At least he was out of the water--looking back up at it, he was glad that he'd been able to just make one trip through it instead of having to swim in sections.
The smaller dome had him rubbing his beak, though it didn't take him long to figure something out--this was a puzzle, was it? Time to get to work on it.
Roll: 1/5.

Almost, but not quite right. What if he moved this gear over here--?
Ah, yes. That did it.
When the entire area trembled, it was more than enough of a hint for him to get out, and fast. Elium scooped up the blessing hurriedly, darting away to look for an exit now.
Roll: 2/5.

Mosh felt the warm pull of a blessing and approached a small abandoned building. Her nose filled with the scent of mold and stagnating water. She snarled a little, sniffing around the building.
She kicked the door furiously. The door, unfortunately, didn't budge. She however was sent sprawling backwards into the water. She shook out her fur as best she could, looking a bit like an over-sized pomeranian at this point, and looked around, visibly grumpy. Her toe hurt, she seemed to have cracked the nail a bit. Her ears perked to the sound of metal against concrete.
A grate had opened, revealing an entrance.

Mosh found herself swimming the mment she went into the grate. She sputtered and coughed for a minute, casually mumbling about being wet and hating water before she noted a neon gleam below her. She followed the trails with her eyes into the vast black that was the water below her. She almost climbed out but then she saw it, the faint glow of a blessing.
She kicked off from the wall, albeit a bit awkwardly, and shot 54 under the water. She found the blessing in a stained glass dome but she fell just short of it before needing to return to the surface, gasping for precious air.
