[Day 3, EA] There is no hydrospoon

[Qareme Torth]

Qareme rose, moving to the water and looking down without fear. She climbed into the river, and dived down. Swimming wasn't usually something the big Zabrak struggled with. However, it appeared today was not a normal day. Immediately she began to struggle; the poor nights rest and her lack of focus was clear, but she struggled on. Something at the bottom of the river had caught her attention, and in her lack of focus she tried to push for it....

(Uh...have fun with this?)

[Dapper Dog]

Qareme sees a dark red stone no crystal, it glimmers in the darkness it was power but then she noticed that Liua had gotten herself tangled up in some kind of kelp but going for her would mean denying herself the power of the crimson stone… and surely the world would never miss the gutter trash girl.

[Qareme Torth]

The stone was calling for her, and she felt a pull towards it...but she managed to pull herself away. She couldn't leave the loud kid to drown. Pushing over to where Liua was, she helped her break out of the kelp so she could swim away.

Good thing too, she isn't breathing.

[Qareme Torth]

Oh no. I need to get her out of the water!

Taking the girl in her arm, she swam for the surface.

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Easy Medicine check.

[Qareme Torth]

Pushing Liua onto the surface, Qareme climbed out and checked on the girls condition, doing her best to help her.

Please do not be dead, young one.

She coughs up water and then opened her eyes and said weakly, “Am I dead… because this feels painful if I am dead.”

Her hand opened to reveal a green crystal… “So it was real?”

[Verse Aura]

Meanwhile, Verse emerged from her deep dive with whatever awesome shiny stone or crystal she'd managed to get her hands on; looking at it momentarily in her hand before looking over to the commotion nearby.

"Are you guys okay?"

[Qareme Torth]

"You are still in the land of the living, young one" Qareme looked at the stone then back at the girl with a smile "and you completed your trial. Well done. Can you sit up or do you still need a moment?"

[Dapper Dog]

Meanwhile, Verse emerged from her deep dive with whatever awesome shiny stone or crystal she'd managed to get her hands on; looking at it momentarily in her hand before looking over to the commotion nearby.

"Are you guys okay?"

There is no stone, but she does feel strengthened in the Force and her connection to it.

OOC: Knowledge of the Force (One time Use may gain a free upgrade to any one roll.)

[Dapper Dog]

"You are still in the land of the living, young one" Qareme looked at the stone then back at the girl with a smile "and you completed your trial. Well done. Can you sit up or do you still need a moment?"

She slowly sat up and said, "I think... I'll be fine." She shivered due to the cold as the old man put a blanket around her.

[Petrus Karath]

Missing all the excitement, Petrus had cast aside his tunic, diving into the depths of the pool...

Darkness...

Petrus had been battling fear quite a bit recently, in one form or another. This was a different sort. Deep in the water, he couldn't see or hear his friends. He could feel the pressure building in his lungs. A burning behind his eyes. The growing primal need for survival telling him that he needed to surface, or he wouldn't make it.

But there was peace, too. He knew his friends were there, even if he couldn't see them. Just as was the surface, and air, and light.

Calming himself, Petrus looked around for an appropriately shiny stone...

[Dapper Dog]

What minimal light there is illuminates a stone.

[Petrus Karath]

Well, good enough. Petrus grabbed it, and then swam for the surface, his strong kicks taking him quickly up.

He gasped air as he broke the surface. "Whew!" Petrus said, shaking his head, scattering water droplets everywhere. "That went... uh... I miss something?" He gave the assembled party a curious frown as he stood there, dripping.

[Qareme Torth]

"Are you guys okay?"

"There was a small incident, but we are all fine now" Qareme nodded to Verse

She slowly sat up and said, "I think... I'll be fine." She shivered due to the cold as the old man put a blanket around her.

"I am glad."

She looked to the old man and lowered her head.

"I have unfortunately not brought back the stone that was in my sights. My focus today is clouded, unfocused."

[Oraka Hin]

“What is more important Qareme, a stone or saving the life of another?” he asked sincerely.

[Qareme Torth]

“What is more important Qareme, a stone or saving the life of another?” he asked sincerely.

"Saving a life" Qareme said without any hesitation, then paused and took on a thoughtful expression.

"I see. The Force guided me. It was not my failing, but what was meant to be. A test."

[Verse Aura]

"I didn't get a stone either," she said as she joined the others. "I was sure I had, it was bright blue and shiny. But when I came up it wasn't there. But somehow I feel like that's okay. Everything is as the Force wills it."

[Oraka Hin]

“You found what you needed to find,” the old man responded.

[Qareme Torth]

Qareme had remained thoughtful.

Found what you needed to find...

Eventually she spoke.

"Master, there are some things I have learnt from being captured that I wish to discuss."

She looked quite serious.

[Oraka Hin]

"Then discuss, I am listening, Qareme," he offered.

[Xanna Teevou]

Xanna had welcomed the others as they arrived at the circle, and even allowed herself a small smile as they met Oraka. Now that their numbers were growing it felt like the old days, if only for a few moments. Discussing her vision could wait for the moment.

She was already dressed well enough for a swim so she jumped in, enjoying the coolness against her skin. It was easy going and she made her way into the darkness with a few powerful strokes.

It would not have surprised her if the lake showed her Valus again, but she was prepared this time. Her purpose was clear. When the darkness called to her she felt for the light and found it surrounding her. She could sense her friends. They were there for each other. They were Jedi.

She realised that she was just drifting there, hydro-inches from the bottom. At peace. Harmonious. She was drawn to something resting on the bottom...

It's an old coin, maybe ancient, but it shined and had a the same face on both sides.

[Xanna Teevou]

Calmly she reached out and picked up the coin, turning it around to look at both sides. She was starting to get low on breath and pushed off from the bottom.

Emerging at the surface she took long slow strokes until she reached the shore. It was good that she basically wore sports gear anyway. Water dripped off her body as she walked over to the others.

"I seem to have found an old coin." She lifted it into the light to get a better look at it and then saw Liua wrapped in a blanket looking cold. "Oh Liua, what happened? Are you alright?"
