All the tributes who fell through the whole landed at the end of a stone chamber. The five of them could all see each other and that's when the golden fairy came around and spoke before vanishing.

"In this hole
the water will fill
this cavern is twelve feet tall,
the boards above it will not budge
If you don't solve the missing piece
you'll be forced to drown
or fight the people.
If two die, then the secret of the chamber
will be revealed.
No one has to die if you're smart enough.
Just look for the missing piece. "

(note: I did not feel like rhyming today so deal with it)

Trevor Lewis

Refocusing on his new surroundings, Trevor frowned. He looked at the four surrounding him. "Well, I don't particularly feel like dying, so how about's we all try and figure out the puzzle before resorting to deadly murder in the hole?" he shrugged, "I mean, if we're going to fight anyone, I think Paris has some unfinished business with the cocky dick that she'd been fighting before. I really don't want him to win just cause he managed to heal himself with his own urine or whatever magic he pulled out of his ass." he muttered, looking around for clues to the mystery.

JESSE HAYNES -- District Nine Male

The sensation of dropping down is nothing new to me now. The knowledge that other people are with me is, though. Landing, I hold up my sword, scared that someone is going to attack. The new pit has five of us, including the girl I attempted to attack last time. The other faces are new, however, and not a single one seems nice. Looking around, the only other male in the room speaks. I sigh, letting my guard down slightly. "Defiantly," I mutter at his plan. We should focus out energies on working together to get out rather than fighting each other. He refers to Paris, who I can only assume was the girl that had been fighting in the hole when I emerged from the well. Turning to her, I shrug. "Sorry 'bout tryna kill ya, if that's the case. Didn't know he had been healed," I say apologetically. I laugh at the guys comment of being magically healed. I pull my bottle from my belt a take a drink. Replacing it on my belt, I look around. Were the others willing to agree to the terms?

Paris Erickson

Paris preferred falling into a hole rather than having to fight someone who healed. She was still bitter about how David had healed, and wished that he hadn't. Her dark eyes scanned the faces of those whom she ended up with, while listening to the golden fairy. To think that something so little controlled much of their fate was unpleasant to the tribute. After the fairy vanished, she heard out Trevor's plan, and agreed. She was tired, and probably wasn't in the best state to fight. "Sounds good," Paris commented. As the tribute from five continued, the girl let out a laugh. "Glad to hear we're all in agreement of that," she said quickly, shaking her head as she searched the room for clues. While she didn't fancy fighting people, she definitely didn't want to drown. Paris heard the other boy, who had attempted to strike her, apologizing. An apology in the Hunger Games? Wow. "Mhm, don't sweat it," she muttered indifferently as she continued to look for the 'clue'.

Rune tumbled into the chamber and got to her feet. Five people now. And now she couldn't even finish her battle with Shaunie. Darn. "Magic healing?" She questioned; magic didn't exist. Everyone knew that. Or at least, that's what Rune thought until a fairy showed up. With more riddles. She grinned, forming a new tune for that riddle, even though it didn't work so well. "They sure like the games, don't they?" She chirped, "But that's tough, what's missin a piece?" She looked up, straining to see the boards. Mr. Biv was in her bag, but how'd she be able to get him up there?

Arisu squealed as she felt the floor below her open up again, almost anticipating the rush down. She threw her hands up enjoying the ride more so, before she came rolling over onto levleled ground again. She sat up to look at everyone as she grinned, "Hi!" But not seeing anyone she knew and the fact that Icarus didn't come falling after her made her feel unsettled. But she saw Paris and lit up again, giving her a small wave and then directing the wave to the rest of them. She remembered the guy that flew and landed on his butt too and she pointed it out, "Oh oh, you're the guy that flew from the well onto your butt! You're alive!" She glanced around once more, almost hoping that Serenity was still with her.. She liked the little girl, and she's still bent on helping her, once they actually find the key. Her attention finally came to the actual important stuff as the golden fairy poofed in and went on with a riddle. Everyone started talking and Arisu just tried her best to follow on, constantly nodded at whatever she caught. Arisu giggled to the new girl she remembered back in the Capitol, Rune was her name, "Games are fun, no? it makes things so much more exciting!" She pushed herself off the ground and skipped around, looking at where they were. She tilted her head and thought really hard as everyone went silent. But she shrugged and let out a laugh, roaming around the place with her arms out, "The hole that gonna drown us probably." She was mostly joking with that, but at the sound of them all drowning made her a little desperate to actually believe it. But hey, that's a possibility thrown out there, right? Dumb or not.

For awhile they searched and half a foot of water had poured in by now. It appeared that none of them currently held the "key" it was something in the room, but what could it be?

Trevor Lewis

Shrugging, Trevor started scanning the walls and floor for whatever could be missing. "We just have to find out what's missing and then find that. It shouldn't be hard with five of us looking." he muttered, glancing at each of the other tributes warily, as if one of them was going to put a knife in his back while he wasn't facing them. The only tough part was that the missing piece could be anything.

JESSE HAYNES -- District Nine Male

Staring around as everyone got in agreement, I feel the water come up my legs. One of the girls apparently recognized me flying from the well, which means I got lucky to get back in. "Yea," I mutter, "That was me." I rub my hand on the back of my neck, a bit embarrassed that someone witnessed that. Dropping my hand back down, I turn to the wall and begin feeling. There had to be something here to get us out. This key or whatever. I shuffle around a small section behind me, testing for any loose stones or something that would help.

Paris Erickson

Paris recognized Arisu from before, awkwardly waving back as she did. If only she had half as much energy and excitement in her everyday life. Then maybe she would have gathered a friend or two before volunteering. She was relieved that they all agreed to look before killing each other. No matter her normal desire to annoy those whom she deemed lesser than she, Paris hoped to avoid violence in this scenario. "Maybe it's a key... like, Arisu, did you guys find that key?" she asked, looking up from her search for a moment to look at the other female tribute. Maybe there was a slot or something... or perhaps a lever? The thing was probably a physical object. Or maybe it was mental, like, a metaphorical key. She hadn't ever been the most talented with riddles.

Rune looked down at the water filling below them. Everybody else was looking at the walls, not the floor..."Where'd'ya come from, hmm?" She asked the water. What if there was a plug, like in the bathtubs she'd heard about...like in the capitol! Suddenly, she thought of her riddles, "Break...barrier... Maybe we have to fix the spot where the water's coming from?" she was muttering mostly to herself. After all, that water had to come from somewhere... Soon she was wading all around, eyes fixed on the stone ground. There had to be something there...

I never thought i'd see the day that I use this gif

Arisu shook her head and disappointment, "Nope, we didn't even make it down there so... I wonder where Serenity is.." She pouted before continuing her search all over the place. Taking a chance at the ceiling. It said that it won't budge, doesn't mean nothing's up there right? Arisu's smile switched to confusion when Rune started muttering about the hole and started looking at the ground. "Wait, we're serious about the hole?" Well, water's gotta be coming from some hole and she thought for a moment, staring at Rune as she searched below. "Oh. We are serious." she said before shrugging and plopping herself down into the water, sitting totally still, "Okay then!" She sat there and tried to feel the force of the water, where it's being pushed to, since they aren't exactly in still water, it's gotta be moving somewhere right? Up, down, left, right, it's definitely going somewhere, and that's definitely where it comes from! She just sat there put her hands outwards in different directions to feel the water currents, not really explaining to anyone what she was doing, well unless they asked.

The water wasn't coming from down below, they were coming from somewhere up higher. Although while Rune and Arisu were looking, Rune noticed a pattern on some of the rocks down below. Meanwhile a little fairy came and sat on Arisu's shoulder and she giggled. "I found you!" She said, and Arisu noticed her to be Serenity.

JESSE HAYNES -- District Nine Male

Looking over my shoulder for a brief moment, I notice two of the females searching in the water below. That's good, getting all out bases covered at least, I think to myself. The wall search seems a bit hopeless, though. I haven't found anything that could be of any use. Reaching into my pocket, I lay my hand on the key from the chest. Doubt it's that. Too obvious. I keep searching the wall for a few brief moments before dropping my hands to my side. Dragging my finger tips through the water, I look upwards, higher on the wall. Was there anything up there?

Trevor Lewis

It seemed like the two girls had the right idea. The water. Naturally it's coming in from somewhere. Trevor scanned the walls all around them, searching for anywhere water might be coming in. That or a possible escape from the hole they could use, it was unlikely with the Gamemakers to leave a way out, but never know until you look. "I really hate water right now." I muttered, craning my neck to look higher up the walls.

Subject: Re: The otherside of the well~ (ALL STAFFIES) Thu Jul 10, 2014 2:14 pm

"Well, not a break here..." She muttered, crouching down to inspect the pattern. "What could you be, hmm?" she asked the rocks, stretching a hand out to touch them. Maybe this had something to do with the key? She moved her head around, inspecting the shapes, trying to figure out what they reminded her of.

Arisu looked up as the water didn't move as much as she thought it would. She sighed just as a little fairy popped onto her shoulder and she turned to stare at it. It took her maybe a few seoncds to recognise it as Serenity, "Ahh you found me! Are you okay? How did you just so small?" She gave Serenity a small pat before she stood up as she followed the move movement, looking upwards. If it's not down it has to be up right? She noticed Rune finding something below but she waddled over to try and continue searching for the source of water. Arisu overheard the boy grumble about water and she giggled, "But the water is quite fun no?" She splashed the water at him playfully before continuing with her search.

Paris watched as the water continued to fill in, and she continued feeling around for answers. As she glanced over, she followed Rune's lead, and began feeling along the bottom of the wall. Hopefully they would find something. She heard Serenity's voice and smiled softly. The girl might be able to cheer Arisu up, but Paris wouldn't be happy until she was safe.

More water continued to pour in and Trevor noticed the water was indeed coming up from a higher place but he couldn't reach it. Serenity looked at the key Jesse had and smiled. "That's the key Arisu! He has the key to the house!" it wasn't the key to the well. Meanwhile Run and Paris found a huge circular rock, a width that'd allow them to fit. Could this be it?

Trevor Lewis

Trevor let out a small sigh of relief, looking up at where the water was coming from. "Guys, the water is coming from up there!" he said, a smidge excited. "Now we just need to figure out how to get up there and block it." Looking around at his current companions in this hole, he waited to see if any of them had found anything they could use.

I stop searching when I hear the other guy say that he found the spot. Turning around, I have a slight smile on my face. "Alright, that just means we have to seal it," I say. Some little sprite had joined one of the girls, fluttering about her shoulder. I grimace at the sight of another one of the things. Until it says something about me having a key. "Uh... what?" I question it.

"Circles, always circles," Rune chirped. Giant circular rocks like that could only mean one thing. A plug. But that thing was huge, no way she'd try to lift it on her own; she could hurt herself!"Hey, boys~? This little guy looks important," she tapped on the rock to point it out, "Care to help us ladies over here?"

Paris Erickson

Paris grinned as Rune and her both found a large circular rock. It was heavy, but it might be the key to avoiding their death. "Maybe if two of us lift it, another two could push the last up to reach where the water is coming out?" she suggested. It was strange that in a pageant of death, they were working together. The tribute might've been moved if she wasn't focusing on avoiding drowning. "We're gonna have to work together," she commented, looking up at the others.

Arisu looked up to wherever the D5 boy was pointing to and he clapped her hands, "Yay! You found it!" The sight of the hole where the water was flowing from was welcoming. But Serenity popped up and pointed to the key that D9 boy had. She lit up and stared towards the butt from the well boy, "Really? That's awesome! But.. eh... Let's focus on getting out of here first okay?" She grinned and held out her pinky as a promise. She turned back to the confused boy and tried to explain, "Her mum is stuck somewhere and we needed to key to get to her, sooo..." Arisu shrugged, and got back to the more pressing situation at hand. For now, the key can wait. She squatted beside the rock and poked at it, observing the rock they found. Arisu shot her hand up as she jumped around when Paris suggested lifting things up, "Oh oh oh! I'm really light! I can get up there to plug it in!" Without mentioning her height, she just focused on her small weight and they could easily hoist her up there.

Trevor had begun to realize that, the hole of where the water was coming out of ad the rock the girls were mentioning to him, weren't the same size,so plugging the water up wasn't the solution but was there something behind the big round rock?

(Sorry for not using Serenity, jjust so tired I'm not functioning atm. )
