Monica put the cool, gel-like substance softly on the suction cup marks, careful in the way she applied it. It was sinking in quickly, which was a good sign...when she finished, she turned to Erin. After a while, the venom's gonna start leaving his body. <i>There's-no-telling-how-or-by-what-means</i>," she said, stressing every word so that she would understand.

"Is that normel?" Troy asked.

"For now, yeah," said Monica. "Typical symptoms of the detox - it takes bodily energy."

Erin gently removed her grip on jacks shoulders, she leaned back and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.
Her eyes diverted around the cave, she sat studying it for a moment.
"Now we're gonna have to work out a way out of here while he sleeps" she said standing up and brushing herself down....

Troy paced back and forth before finally setteling on the edge of the water, skipping rocks.

Monica nodded and sighed. It'd take about a half an hour for that gel to take effect...'til then, they had an oxygen supply to worry about. "OH MY GOSH," she said, suddenly panicking. "Guys - what if we run out of oxygen?! I do NOT want to suffocate to death!" She didn't normally have normal claustrophobia, but when she thought about running out of oxygen, it just ignited panic within her.

"We should be fine." Troy said. "If their was no oxygen then why isent this place filled with water, plus the dizzolved oxygen in the water is giving a slow count."

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no..." said Monica, laughing maniacally. "Number one, if you had paid attention in Chem, you'd know that there is oxygen in here, but that as we breathe, we convert it into CARBON DIOXIDE, which replaces it in the air. Number two, that would require EVAPORATION, which this room is not hot enough to cause. In another day or two, we'll all suffocate because there'll be nothing but Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen gas, and water vapor in here."

"Number 1.." Troy said, standing." I did pay attention, I got a B in science. Number 2, we can get out of here as soon as Jack gets up! Were not that far from the surface, and if YOU let me, I can get my why out threw that crack in the celing over their."

Monica rolled her eyes and said in a very Hermione Granger-type voice, "You're going to drown us all, and then I'm going to have a fit because I can't kill you once we're both dead."

"Well..." Troy said having to think. "Have your fit then becouse I'm getting us out of here!"
