...Eh, what's the worst that could happen.
*Hucks a rock into it*

@Session

*Nothing happens*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Hops a few steps back, trying to ensure the water doesn't touch me*

@Session

*The water across the expanse slowly grows still again, though the sound coming through the radio remains constant*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Flicks at it as I overlook the pools*

@Session

*The sound of the interference begins to morph barely into what sounds like the deafening sound of a massive swarm of insects. As you get close enough to the shore to distinguish features of the people, the water very suddenly ripples and a small wave splashes over your feet from the water level rising rather suddenly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Pauses to scribble in my notes "does not sustain life in inhospitable conditions or revive from the dead" and approaches the springs*

@Session

*The radio on your ear begins to freak out much more frequently now as you approach closing distance to the water*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Grimaces when I notice the specs*
Awww man...

@Session

*Sure enough, as you get closer and approach the end of the drivable road near the water’s edge, countless people can be seen turned face down in the springs, entirely unmoving*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Mutters to myself*
Maybe the healing lightning above the healing lake will heal this car if it comes to that.

@Session

*The air shimmers more intensely as though there were a heat wave present, though there clearly isn’t. Not terribly long into your drive, the cars stop at the end of the road where it seems people were swarming to get to the pools, and the calm expanse of what seems like entire lakes of vibrant, glowing pink water comes into view, though the water itself is filled with specks of sorts that aren’t discernible from here*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

We'll take it!
*Drives up the road, sporting a grin*

@Session

*The lightning flashes nearby and thunder crackles, almost in a sort of explosive cosmic retort to your pride*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

C'mon, make iiiiit!
*Twists the wheel with the car's direction and lets go of the accelerator but doesn't hit the brake*

@Session

*You manage to pull the car back on track after something under the hood lets out a lout clang, but nothing else gives you problems right away*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Grins*
Alright Rea, hope this bucket of bolts holds up.
*Slams the accelerator and bolts toward a piece of relatively solid-looking scrap leaning against the median*

@Session

*The car jolts and lands with a huge thud, taking the landing well but seemingly not handling the inertia so well, skidding as it struggles to regain traction*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Blazes past the sign, and notices a few minutes later*
Wha—Oh, whoops.
*Stops the car, does a k-turn, and drives the opposite direction on the highway*

@Session

*Upon returning to the proper exit, you can see that not far down the exit, the road seems to be backed up to a stop with traffic, and the cars long since abandoned*
