Physical Description: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————
Nixi is a petite red vulx with a brilliant brown hair and fur. She has emerald green eyes and slightly curly and fluffy brown hair and fur. She stands about five feet tall and three inches. She has two huge fox-like ears and a big bushy white tipped tail. Nixi has a fair body and a sweet aroma. She likes to keep herself clean and is often seen brushing her tail and pruning it from the dirt, leaves, and other things that it does collect.
Nixi has a slender figure, as she usually keeps very active. She keeps a bit of makeup on as a way to imitate the person who taught her common.
Clothes and Equipment: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————
Nixi wears special pendant that was given to her by the woman who taught her common. As such it is a prized possession of hers and she treats it as if it was her own heart.
The special pendant is made of a bronze-like metal and has a sun-like symbol near the bottom. The outer sections are colored like a rainbow, while the inner section is colored to a night sky-like purple. The heart of the sun-like image is a magenta ruby. Nixi wears this and the pendant is much like a big coin, about the size of Nixi’s hand. A simple green string keeps it around her neck.
Nixi clothes herself in a simple white shirt, sparsely decorated with small flower patterns made of scarlet thread. The shirt fits nicely on Nixi, neither too tight, or too loose, and at the end it builds into a peplum. She has a brown leather belt, detailed with a bronze buckle. She has a small green coin purse strapped on her left side, attached to the belt.
Her belt is looped around a pair of brown capri pants. Her capris are marked with yellow flowers made of thread that sparsely decorate the seams of her capris. Nixi doesn’t wear any footwear, she finds them very uncomfortable, because she grew up in a very animalistic vulx family and never really wore shoes before she met a stranger. This stranger was the woman who would teach Nixi the common language and took her in after her family died from an attack. Nixi never saw what had taken the lives of her family, but she’s always assumed that it was a bear.
Nixi carries a shoulder bag, or rather a book bag, in which she carries several herb jars and smaller jars for ointment. She also carries a book to reference herbs and other plants, when she is out in the wild searching for new herbs. She also carries a mortar and pestle, along with a few other tools to help her work as an herbalist.

Nixi hears that Mina has an idea, according to Mina, a dumb one. Nixi smiles when she sees Mina grab the mattress. So that's your plan... intriguing. Nixi smiles and says aloud, "Well then... One... Two... THREE!"
Nixi grabs onto the mattress as Mina suggested and in a leap of faith, jumps off the edge.
"REMIND TO TAKE A BATH AFTER THIS!!!------" Nixi shouted as she falls down.

"I don't think we have a choice. Either we jump or we fall," she said after the splash. "Better it be on our terms. Jump with me." With that, she took his hand and said, "It was nice to meet you." And then she let go and took a leap of faith, hoping he would leap with her but not daring to believe he did. She didn't know how deep the water would be, if it would break her fall, but it was better this way. She closed her eyes and found herself rocking back and crossing her arms over her chest as she went downward into the depths of the hole.

“We’ll have no choice it seems,” Castor agreed taking her hand that was offered. They’d been lucky enough to be on the same side of the room. Without being able to see within the hole he had no idea of what awaited them but it was better to attempt to mitigate whatever might be coming for them. Therefore he leaped with her.
He pointed his feet down and with her hand in his he would draw her closer wrapping his arms around her. It might not be safer but they would go feet first with his hitting first hopefully breaking the water and dispersing it for her as well.
“It was nice to meet you as well,” he told her mid fall as if it was a nice spring day and they had just happened upon one another.
Then they hit the water.
[Everyone]
The water was not cold but not warm, the lukewarm feeling flowing over their skin as they made contact. The other two woman had chosen to use a mattress in order to ease their fall. It did work when they made contact they were bounced before the mattress began to sink. Castor and Lyra would go into the water and make their way upward having to release to swim properly. It was as dark as it appeared it would be from above and it was difficult for the two to see which way was up. They had to depend only on what was once that way.
Thankfully Castor had a sense of direction and had taken them in such a way that they only had to go straight up. They would break the water and have room to breath.
When they did so, and for Nixi and Mina, they would see that the moonlight that was so soft in the room above them was closing up. The floor was building itself up from the outside in. Leaving them in complete darkness, or so it would seem to be. The instant that the moonlight was gone they would be lit from below. Whatever was below them in the water it glowed with a faint blue light. Their feet did not touch when they tread water. With the distortion of the way it moved, as they had to kick their feet to remain at the top, they would not be able to tell the depth nor discern what lay at the bottom that glowed so bright as to light up their faces but not to the ceiling.
The fall had seemed to take ages but was mere seconds. Which if any of them discerned meant they had fallen 20, maybe 30 feet.

Somehow she found herself in his arms as they fell. It had been a long way down and seemed to take forever, but soon enough, they were both in the water and she was struggling to stay afloat since she didn't really know how to swim. She flailed her arms and gasped as she struggled to stay afloat. It wasn't that she was afraid of the water, but she'd not had a reason to learn to swim until now.
At some point (unless he intervened at some point) she seemed to just relax her body and sink some.

Mina went from being elated as she and Nixi hit the water safely, to her heart sinking fast along with their mattress. She immediately rolled off of it and into the water in some bizarre attempt to preserve their failing life raft.
Mina was an ok swimmer. She didn't have a lot of body fat, but she had good kinesthetic intelligence and was able to get her legs and arms waving just right. She could stay afloat and swim as long as she had some stamina, though she would struggle if she got tired or panicked.
She tried to stay calm as the view above her seemed to recede further up into the void. When she saw the light grow beneath her, her instinct was to use the half sinking mattress as a sort of shield between herself and the depths, so she would try to stay close to it. She wouldn't actually look to see what was there until she knew she and her partner were safe and stabilized.
"Nixi, are you alright? How's this for a bath?" She said jokingly.

The vulx would slide off the bed due to the shifting weight of Mina rolling off. The vulx swam back up placing her arms on the mattress, to help keep herself up. Nixi could swim, but other than a bath, she did not like being in water. As the mattress the sunk the fox girl pushed off of it and laid back, floating in the water for a brief moment.
She considers the direction that came from and where the nearest wall, would be, if there was a wall down here... it should be behind them. perhaps if it is there, they could use it to grapple to as they try to figure out their situation.
The vulx splashes a bit as she regains her form and she sways her arms and legs in a movement, mimicking Mina. Nixi smiles, "Well... on the bright side we're alive, so I'm alright." The vulx giggles at Mina's joke, "It's a bit large for a tub, don't ya think? My only regret is getting all my clothes and bag soaked... MY BAG!" The vulx immediately raises her bag above her herself into the air, and lies back in the water, using her legs to keep herself afloat. "I need to keep this as dry as possible, hopefully my book didn't.. bah.. it should still be legible and I'll just copy what I can later."
She sighs keeping the shoulder bag above the water.

Lyra struggling would mean trouble for both of them. She would take them down into the depths if she was not careful and he would put on a defensive tone as he told her loudly, "Lyra, relax, I will not let you drown." Should she listen it would be a miracle but he would have to clamp her hands to her sides if not. If she had he would keep his feet moving churning the water to keep them both upright, "You'll float naturally," he was calmer then when she began to relax. He did not have enough time to teach her how to swim with her panicking. The best he could do was show her that if she remained still that she would not sink. The water was calm around them other than their movement. He moved a hand to her mid-back, "Trust me," he asked of her as he tried to lean her back, "I will make sure you do not sink." What little time he had for observation at the space they'd been dropped in was gained then. The ceiling was too high for him to touch reaching up, and thus would be for the rest of those trapped even if they were separated. The bottom was not reachable by simply sinking a little either. The light at the bottom was still distorted and it would be difficult to judge the depth but he was guessing it was quite far. When he looked about there was such darkness other than below. He'd have to dive, and hope to reach it, for without light they could not find their way. Spoilers: Swim down to the bottom: The depths were farther than they appeared. One might lose their breath before they reached the bottom. It would take a true commitment to do so. It was as if the pale blue light was just out of reach but once they came within a few feet they would see they were stones. Ones about as large as a fist that were encased in the glow. Until they reached the surface they would not have time to examine them further. Swim side to side: Ten feet in either direction and they would find nothing their fingers reaching but only getting more water.

She would just have to trust in the man she barely knew... what other choice did she have? She sighed as he pushed her onto her back and she did as he said: relaxed. "I am sorry," she said with a loud whisper. "I should have mentioned that I didn't know how to swim, but there wasn't time for that." The humor was not lost after all. It was more like she was trying to cover up her frayed nerves.
And so she just floated on her back while he did what he had to do. There is not much else she could do at the moment.

Mina smirked as Nixi joked about the size of their new bathtub. Aside from a mild startle from the fate of Nixi's poor book, Nixi's attitude made Mina feel a bit better about their situation.
Calmer, she could assess that the lights from below were not some giant fish monster getting ready to eat them.
"Well, actually, growing up on some serfdom I couldn't really afford a bathtub. A lot of us just bathed in the nearby river, which would technically make the size of this place a little subpar for a bathtub. Although on the other hand when it was convenient we also just did sponge baths with buckets, which would technically make this place extremely massive."
She looked up and around and saw no end in sight. The act of searching itself perhaps helped avoid the awkwardness of divulging too much information did she really need to talk about her childhood bathing habits?
She disavowed her thoughts on her own weirdness and turned back to Nixi. "I'm gonna check out what's beneath us. Tell me if anything changes up here, yah?" With that, she'd take a breath and dive down below.
Her natural instinct wouldn't be to take the glowing stones right away. Instead, she'd examine them from a distance and take in as many details as possible, both of the stones and the surrounding floor that they were located in. Not committing to bringing them to the surface just yet, it was more likely she wouldn't run out of breath. She was prepared to make another dive for the actual stones if she didn't see any alternatives.
She'd then surface as soon as possible to report any findings to Nixi, while praying she wasn't eaten by a crocodile or something.

Nixi keeps afloat, holding her bag above her head. She listens as Mina explains how she used to bath by the river using a sponge and bucket. She couldn't help by giggling from that in this ridiculous situation. Nixi sighs and smiles looking at her companion in this whole mess. Nixi nods 'yes' when Mina asks her to stay up here to watch in case anything changes. "Of course, just do come back... I don't want to be alone up here." She watches Mina dive deep into the water and gazes at the ripples in the water for moments.
Being alone in the water is troubling for Nixi... she needs to keep her focus on floating and watching her surroundings. Something could happen... Nixi takes in a deep breath and exhales her worries. She felt temporary relief from doing that simple action. It felt as if all the rising fear and tension had been reset. Nixi floats and begins to swim in a circle, leaning on her back, keeping watch for any changes to her surroundings. Her arms were getting weak from holding her bag up for so long. Nixi relents and brings to her chest, hoping it would stay somewhat dry as she continues her watch of her surroundings.

Castor would remain on top for a moment as she mentioned not being able to swim, “Never a better time to learn than the present,” he had some humor left it seemed that he would infuse into the moment before adding more gently, “But you can float, I’m going to swim down and see if I can tell what is beneath us. If you remain in this position and just breath and relax you’ll stay upright.” He wanted to be reassured of her safety before he left and when he did dive it would be after distancing himself from her to keep the wake from breaking her concentration on relaxing her body to remain how she was. Then he went under. He dived deep holding his breath before realizing the stones were just out of arms reach. He would resurface drawing in a large gulp of air, “They’re deep,” he would tell her bracing himself, “I’m going to go down again.” They needed to see and he saw no choice but to pick up one of the stones, no matter the result. Lyra Castor would dive into the water leaving a small wave of water that would wash over her form. As long as she remained as she was instructed it would simply wash over her. Castor went back down and it was the same effect but this time he’d taken in short little breaths half hyperventilating before he dive into the water. When he hit the depth he would realize just how small the stones themselves were.
Reaching out he did not pick one up but put his fingers upon it. They were warm, as if the light was the touch of the sun. Flipping one over he had only a short time to figure out a plan so he moved as many as he could, searching for the floor. It did not make itself known even after searching about a foot down. Cursing it he would pick up the initial stone and begin to swim upward kicking off of the bottom.
He surfaced with the stone in his hand but kept beneath the water, “They’re strange,” he would tell Lyra moving closer to her again, “All of them are warm and I attempted to find a floor to this room but I could not find one.” Mina and Nixi Nixi would not feel a shift in the water other than the usual wake that was left after Mina chose to dive down. Mina would find the stones were about the size of a fist, still glowing the faint blue that seemed ethereal beneath the water. There was nothing to be seen of the bed that they rested on other than the stones themselves. They had no distinct markings or other signs that they were magical other than the light. If she dove again to retrieve one it would be easy to lift, weighing almost nothing like volcanic rock but the outer surface was solid.

She continued to float, trying to keep her breathing even and calm even though she was afraid. It would be alright, she thought, Castor would be alright. He was a complete stranger but the only hope she had at the moment. No better time to learn how to swim indeed... if only she could just... but no, not when he said she should stay calm. Trying to tread water now might make her panic and end up in a watery grave.
Lyra stared up to where the floor had once been, not that she could see where it had been, mind you. She waited patiently, breathing in and out while he examined what was beneath. She gave a startled squeak when he popped back up out of the water this time, "What do you think the stones will do?" she asked, her voice tight as she calmed herself down so she wouldn't sink back down.

Mina broke the surface of the water, relieved she had indeed not encountered a crocodile.
"They're stones." She said, panting. "Fist sized glowing things. I don't see anything else down there. What about up here? Anything different?" She looked around to see if nothing had changed apparently changed.
She noticed that Nixi has allowed her bag to come down to her chest. "If you want we can take turns with your bag. But I think someone needs to grab the stones. Do you want to try, or would you rather keep holding onto the bag while I go back down?"
Mina was starting to kick herself a little bit. She really should have just grabbed them on the first dive. But she remembered that the first puzzle involved the linking of two separate areas, and so she wanted to see if perhaps her diving down had affected anything on the surface before committing the both of them to any sort of action. But her caution had cost her some stamina, though she still felt like she could make another dive.
She didn't say it, but a part of her was a little annoyed at Nixi's bag. If only there was a way to waterproof it somehow, or at least make it float.

Nixi watches as nothing happens, for a moment it felt as if nothing was there... She watches as the water moves and Mina emerges from the water. She shakes her head 'no' as Mina asks her if anything had changed, then Mina asks her about her bag. Nixi smiles and lets out a long breath.
"I'll dive, if you can hold my bag... I'm sorry that it's causing you trouble. I should be able to make it far enough to grab the glowing stones." Nixi floats over to Mina, slowly waving her legs back and forth to propel herself. She holds out the bag, handing it to Mina.
"Give me a few moments..." Nixi takes in a breath and dives down, this was for the best... Even if she wasn't the most comfortable with water, it is still more important to conserve their energy. Nixi makes her way underwater, diving towards a pale blue light. She was right to take the break in before, just diving down this far is taking all she has. Nixi pushes onwards reaching towards the fist-sized stones. She grabs them and pushes off the ground, where they rested, swimming back up. All she has is her memory of what is down... with the lights in her hands, and darkness surrounding her, it feels as if it is endless. Nixi's eyes widens as she feels her muscles begin to ache, her time is running out. She pushes forward climbing upwards before for she breaches the surface in a pant. She is out of breath.

"I'm not sure," he would answer her with honesty, for it was all he had in that moment, "The first test was not clear either and this seems the obvious choice."
He returned to her side because he could see her struggling and he would lightly put his unencumbered hand upon her back to keep her upright raising his left out of the water with the stone to hand it to her so she could see it.
"It's not warm, nor doing much other than putting out light thus far."
[Everyone]
Nixi had made it to the surface, but with her rise to the surface she had also brought the stones above the water, the two she had managed to grab. Castor had only brought one and that one that he brought he was presenting to Lyra so she might look to the stone as well. The instant that both grazed the surface they began to crumble. As if they were a porous stone they began to reduce to ash falling into the water and skimming the surface remaining where it fell. It would spread impossibly wide from the point it fell hardening on the surface. One stone would produce an area that was three feet in diameter with scraggly edges. Two made a platform that when one put their hands upon they could feel the weight to it. As if it were determined to stay above the water with an unparalleled buoyancy.
Within it were sparkling flecks of the blue. Just enough to illuminate their faces to where they could see each other properly.
Beneath them they would barely feel the pull of the water. Lyra would feel it more than any of the others because she was not treading it. She would feel her hair being drawn downward as if there was the smallest hole in the floor that was draining everything beneath them. It was not so sudden that the others might feel it but if they were attuned to their surroundings they would feel it eventually when the water began to drop more than a foot.

Age: 15
Physical Description: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————
Nixi is a petite red vulx with a brilliant brown hair and fur. She has emerald green eyes and slightly curly and fluffy brown hair and fur. She stands about five feet tall and three inches. She has two huge fox-like ears and a big bushy white tipped tail. Nixi has a fair body and a sweet aroma. She likes to keep herself clean and is often seen brushing her tail and pruning it from the dirt, leaves, and other things that it does collect.
Nixi has a slender figure, as she usually keeps very active. She keeps a bit of makeup on as a way to imitate the person who taught her common.
Clothes and Equipment: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————
Nixi wears special pendant that was given to her by the woman who taught her common. As such it is a prized possession of hers and she treats it as if it was her own heart.
The special pendant is made of a bronze-like metal and has a sun-like symbol near the bottom. The outer sections are colored like a rainbow, while the inner section is colored to a night sky-like purple. The heart of the sun-like image is a magenta ruby. Nixi wears this and the pendant is much like a big coin, about the size of Nixi’s hand. A simple green string keeps it around her neck.
Nixi clothes herself in a simple white shirt, sparsely decorated with small flower patterns made of scarlet thread. The shirt fits nicely on Nixi, neither too tight, or too loose, and at the end it builds into a peplum. She has a brown leather belt, detailed with a bronze buckle. She has a small green coin purse strapped on her left side, attached to the belt.
Her belt is looped around a pair of brown capri pants. Her capris are marked with yellow flowers made of thread that sparsely decorate the seams of her capris. Nixi doesn’t wear any footwear, she finds them very uncomfortable, because she grew up in a very animalistic vulx family and never really wore shoes before she met a stranger. This stranger was the woman who would teach Nixi the common language and took her in after her family died from an attack. Nixi never saw what had taken the lives of her family, but she’s always assumed that it was a bear.
Nixi carries a shoulder bag, or rather a book bag, in which she carries several herb jars and smaller jars for ointment. She also carries a book to reference herbs and other plants, when she is out in the wild searching for new herbs. She also carries a mortar and pestle, along with a few other tools to help her work as an herbalist.

Nixi watches as the stones crumble in her hands as the flecks scatter forming a platform in the water. She presses on the platform, feeling it confident that it would hold both of them. She clumsily climbs on to it and shakes her hair and tail viciously. Her attempt to dry her hair and fur somewhat works as she sits on the buoyant platform. The vulx crawls over to Mina and offers her a hand to get on the platform.
This would hopefully give them a chance to rest from the diving and conserve their stamina. Nixi smiles, "Well this is better than nothing... and we don't need to hold my bag anymore.." The vulx closes her eyes briefly as if to reset her vision. "I must say I appreciate the glow the stones produce."

Mina is at first mildly panicked as the stones crumble. She would have offered herself as support to help Nixi, but her hands were full with Nixi's bag. When the platform materializes and Nixi tests it, Mina feels relief wash over her. She had to stop herself from body-slamming the bag onto the platform before taking Nixi's hand and pulling herself up (she almost body-slammed it but then kinda halted at the last millisecond and brought it down gently instead.). The burning in her shoulders quickly faded away.
"Thanks." She says as she crawls onto the platform and then sits on it, her clothes dripping with moisture all over the place. She sighs heavily, but with content. "I feel kinda bad, I should have just grabbed them the first time. I'm just, still kinda paranoid. I don't want us to miss anything."
Some of the dripping of her pajamas starts to get onto the bag. It's not enough to meaningfully threaten its contents, but enough for Mina to go "Oh" and pull away from it and start clumsily wringing her hair and whatever fabric she can pull of her clothes out away from it.
"Is your book alright?" she asked with genuine concern. The book was clearly important to her after all. And now that they were no longer in water, Mina was more inclined to view the book favorably instead of as a liability.

Mina and Nixi Victories seemed to be short lived in a place such as this. The monstrosity of whatever they had found themselves trapped in was not ready to fully allow them to rest, though it would give them a moment of peace upon the perch on which they sat. With them settled upon it and no longer moving the water they could feel it then. They could feel the gentle swaying of the stone as if it were moving towards something that was draining on both sides. Because it would ebb and flow one way and then the other.
How close they were to the bottom would be something that would be hard to tell. Mainly because the water distorted it so. After another five feet had gone they would fully get the feeling that they were going downward because it began to move faster. The water was becoming turbulent from being pulled in both directions and their perch was now rocking.
The stones below in the water were also shifting now. They had been light to start but not drawn upon. Another five feet saw them swirling and their platform turning around in circles. They would be dizzy if they did not know how to focus.

Nixi looks at the bag, it was wet, sure. She was wearing when she first fell into the water. She smiles, "I think it should be." The vulx crawls slowly to the bag and undoes a flap, opening it and its contents. Inside are several glass jars, a few of them broken, there is also mortar and pestle. She opens a separated section of the bag and takes out an object wrapped in cloth. She undoes the cloth and slowly opens the book. Many pages are soaked, but entirely illegible. The vulx smiles again, "I'll be able to make do with this. There are a few pages that are blotted beyond restoration, but luckily none of the important ones are too damaged."
Nixi places her hand on the stone, as she feels it shift. In a moment of panic she freezes for a second. Nixi takes in a breath and rings out the cloth that had protected her book. She wraps the book in said cloth and places it in the bag, closing the bag. Nixi places both hands as the stone raft begins to spin. As it rotates she finds herself staring at her companion through this, Mina.

"I'm glad your book is ok." Mina said sympathetically with a soft smile. The young fox girl was an optimistic one.
Mina paused for a moment. "Heh, I'm not a very good rea-"
It was then that she noticed the stone was beginning to move, that everything was beginning to move. Nixi's pause reinforced the threat of yet another challenge. Mina took a second to look around and see that they were draining down.
Mina instinctively gets on all fours and tries to stabilize herself, her leg muscles tensing against the stone. As Nixi stares at her, Mina places her hands down near, almost on top of Nixi's and stares right back.
"We've got this." She says resolutely. "We just gotta focus." She steadied her breathing and focused on the floor and Nixi to avoid getting too dizzy.
