The mascot following Cole attempts to teleport to and winds up in the Dream Pools. It's a large room, filled up to the mascot's neck, most likely, with a light source unseen. Despite being in water, the mascot doesn't seem wet.

The mascot glances around, then looks down at the water and tries to move their arms around in it. It moves as if it were pool water. There appears to be a sharp bend up ahead in the water.

"Anyone there?" the mascot asks as she starts walking ahead toward the bend, leaning slightly to see around it if they can. It's voice echoes, and there's no response. Around the bend it appears to be a straight hallway, ending in stairs out of the water, to a submarine-like sealed door. The mascot looks around as it echoes, "Oh good, other mascots are somewhere!" She makes her way through the hall to reach the door.

As she moves, she feels something brush against her leg. She stops walking and looks down at her legs, and catches the glimpse of the tail of something, maybe an eel? She pulls a thin, black, electronic needle out from her bowtie as she looks around at the water around her. The mascot catches a few more glimpses of something. Sort of an eel? Maybe more axolotl like? It's rigid, though, like a low poly 3D model, she can barely tell due to the short glimpses. She turns to face the door and try to head over to the steps again. She's able to reach it without any further issue.

She steps up to the door and attempts to open it with average strength. It swings open easily, opening to a small, blue room. A yellow hallway on the left with ankle deep water, and a red waterslide on the right.

"Cole, where are you??" the mascot calls out again as she walks over to the water slide and peeks in. It seems to just fall into darkness. The mascot is a fool and just sits down to go down the slide. The water takes him down, and it continues on going for what feels like an hour. When the pool exits, it's still very dark. As her eyes adjust, it appears to be a shut down dark ride, frozen animatronics looking directly at the mascot.

The mascot stands up as it starts walking down the water path. She watches the animatronics curiously. And they watch back, still seemingly off, they follow the mascot with their eyes and bodys as she passes through. There seems to be a light around the next bend. The mascot gives a friendly wave before heading to the light. As she turns the corner, a bright light fills her vision, blinding her for a moment before she can see what's in front of her. It's a fairly small room, on mostly dry land, no less. A small, kiddie pool in the center, with a slide and a mushroom, water pouring off the top. Was it plastic? She couldn't tell if it was organic or not, one glance it was clearly plastic, the next she could swear it moved just an inch. There was a small door in the left corner, hidden mostly by the glare of the harsh light.

The mascot attempts to walk up to the mushroom with a slight tilt to her head. Water pours from the edges, and it still looks both biological, and plastic. Its as if one eye is seeing it sway, and the other is seeing the cracked material. The mascot goes to poke it. As soon as she does, the surroundings shift. The sun is blindingly bright in the sky, it must be 80-90 degrees out. Shes in ankle level water, a wading pool that goes on to the horizon, with a concrete floor. Mushrooms seem to be scattered around, all like the one the room, no rhyme or reason to their placement.

The mascot blinks and turns a few times, taking in the area before continuing to walk. It doesnt seem to be changing anytime soon, the sun not moving, the trickling of the water off the mushrooms the only thing that can be heard. The mascot soon gives up and vanishes.
