So everyone thank Bilbo for wrecking the ship. If you aren't too busy helping the girl on the bed, you can travel inward to a small village nestled in the woods not too far from the lake.

[Mission: Rest up.]

Stop it.

[gives him the most scathing look. we're trying to save jack's french girl not get into a pissing contest]

[thisbites]

Well. This just got unnecessarily hostile.

[frogface]

Not really my job.

[get out of my face, hook, or face the consequences]

[cabineyes]

Leaving the dirty work for others? How gallant.

[ lets him pass. ]

Be my guest.

[butgrandma]

Excuse me, is it much further?

[i dont think the group is going to hold together much longer with hook causing drama]

[inenochian]

There's a reflecting pool. It's just across this glade.

[ as you can see hook WIDE OPEN SPACE and no cages so shut your mouth or i will turn this hunt around. ]

[cabineyes]

[ i'll never trust you. ]

Why didn't you just take care of this yourself?

[ if you're so high and mighty. ]

[inenochian]

[ submerging myself in small bodies of water triggers me. ]

Shut up.

[cabineyes]

So it is a trap.

Wonderful.

[butgrandma]

[trying to follow along for signs that she can track like broken branches or smell or anything but she's useless. as usual. at least this guy seems to know where he's going]

[tags along in awkward silence]

[inenochian]

[ lo and behold: a reflecting pool is visible up ahead. ]

Her trail leads exactly here.

[butgrandma]

[looks around]





[???]

[cabineyes]

....

[ waits for the cage to drop out of the sky. ]

[thisbites]

[ guys. i'm sorry but my high school prom was more exciting than the outcome of this hunt. ]

[ and i didn't even go. ]

[inenochian]

[ walks toward the pool

steps one toe into it. ]

[cabineyes]

[ i don't want another mill incident. ]

Hold it. What are you doing?

[butgrandma]

She's in the pool...?

[kneels down to examine it. it doesn't feel right, though.]

[inenochian]

[ wades on in what the hell why not. ]

[butgrandma]

[well owens quiet so shes gonna have to rely on hook here]

What's he doing-?

[cabineyes]

[ this can only badly just like everything else that has happened in this journey. ]

Whatever it is, he clearly has no use for us.

[ should i just go. Should I Just Go. ]

[butgrandma]

[no you're staying here so help her she's not ditching their strange guide in the middle of a siren pool when it was her idea to come out here]

[grabs hooks sleeve to keep him from leaving]

[cabineyes]

[ oh hi. i am not going anywhere after all. ]

I can give you a hug if you're scared.

[thisbites]

[ yanks hook away from ruby by the back of his neck boy what do you think you are doing ]

[ shakes head no at him ]

[inenochian]

[ quite suddenly disappears under the surface. ]

[butgrandma]

He's gone!
