It didn't take long for her to realize that this was not going to be an easy task. Making spice-water and moldy sandwiches for a weird gargoyle was probably the easiest part of her whole journey here. The door in front of her was locked, naturally, with three locks. Yeah, she didn't think she could get this through on her own either...so instead she waited where she was for anyone to arrive.
Though she did listen to the instructions from the Guide, if only so he didn't have to repeat himself - and likely so she wouldn't have to listen to it again.

Merope peeked around the corner of the doorway uncertainly, confused. Earlier he had climbed the steps and came to an empty room much like this one, save for a gargoyle he had left behind when he began chanting.
Cautiously he walked further into the room, looking and feeling out of place. "...Hey."

Having obtained the purple key to the next floor, Clara quickly climbed the stairs to where she noticed several others were. The gargoyle, who Clara assumed was a guide of sorts, began blabbering on and on, much like the other gargoyles had in the floor below.
A quick glance around told Clara that they needed more keys in order to get through the door with 3 keyholes. Those would probably be obtained by going through the two black doors and the one red door. Clara gestured at the doors, as if to ask what the plan was.

"Allergy?" Echoed Hel, who came bounding up the stairs next. She looked around the room...not recognizing anyone, except for the ghoul from the battle she was in earlier. "...Oh...more keys?" She asked all who gathered, already exasperated at the thought.
As long as it didn't involve anymore kitchen raids...

The sounds of others entering the room caught his attention. Merope turned, tilting his head as he stared at the new arrivals. Hel's question made him look at the locks, then at the doo- oh hello there.
The undead approached the black door, shamelessly splashing his talons in it. His long antennae-whiskers rose as he prodded the door. There was no mistaking the dampness that came from it.
Without asking for permission or checking to see if it was all right, Merope pulled open the black door and entered. His glowing green eyes grew brighter, looking at nothing else but the pool.
A loud, echoing "WHOOP!" could be heard through the door as Merope ran forward, diving into the pool --

-- and sank right to the bottom. Glub glub glub.

A dark shadow loomed in the water. Instincts kicked in and Merope altered himself, spreading his fins. His talons struck out against the dark shadow, using the lift to quickly swim down the pool.

Something fluttered briefly against his legs. Merope kicked it off, unaware that. Well.
Yep.

The currents in the pool brushed against his sensitive scales. Without bothering to turn around Merope lashed out with his back legs, smacking the shark in the nose and using the kick to propel himself forward.
He reached the end of the pool, climbing up and out of the water. The Cool Guy thumbs-up he received made Merope glow a little brighter before he noticed the gargoyle's gaze was looking decisively down at him. The bright glow plummeted to a simmer as Merope's cheeks grew dark.
He snatched the key and dived back into the pool, retrieving his clothes and wiggling back into them before emerging out of the pool, triumphant.

"Merope?" Amrita parroted his tone of voice, albeit a little accidentally. She was shocked to see him, and immediately felt a little odd; she remembered this one, if only because he was the source of some pretty intense disappointment. "Err. Hi." A few others appeared, and Amrita nodded.
"Yep. More Keys. I wonder how we should --- " But Merope was already off, through one of the doors. Was that a splash she heard? Hrm. She looked over at Hel. "Did you bring cards?"

The black door creaked open and Merope emerged, black key held aloft triumphantly. "One down!" He announced, his other hand hiking his shorts further up.
A look of uncertainty crossed his face. "Could you... ah, give me a moment?" Merope turned and re-entered the black door just enough so that his tail remained outside of it. Retching sounds could be heard, followed by the splashing of a large amount of water.

Though it wasn't said out loud, Hel had a feeling this was...her fellowship...for...keys...? And that was totally cool, especially after that initiative that one called Merope showed, followed by a splash. Hel laughed, and then looked over at Amrita.
"Uh..." She made a 'one moment' gesture, and then started to dig through her apron pockets.
Three bags of beef jerky, a note pad, nine pens, a handful of paper clips, some hair ties, some random band-aids, a scrap of what looked like a cable knit sweater, and a pack of gum later, Hel finally pulled out a pack of cards.
: D! That was her face.
Until Merope came back. "Uh..." She winced as he started to retch. "Way to take one for the team!"
