It appears that Professor Vindictus’ office is almost completely flooded. Further more, we find out some interesting details about Vindictus’ Kingdom area of the school and who the professor thinks might be causing the flooding: Quote:

"Blast! It won't budge." Kazimeriz said, his eyes flashing angrily. If this WAS magical vandalism, the student or students involved would pay dearly. The water was cold and reaching places where cold water should never venture on a gentleman. Quote:

A wall of water stood in the hut. It was as if it was contained by an invisible force... it wasn't leaking! But if you put a hand through, it would submerse, and you'd feel the water. Furthermore here’s what happened at the Groundskeeper’s hut. Unlike Professor Vindictus, Masterson had no secret passageways to escape through: Quote:

Did he seriously just hear that they were going to pull him out through his CHIMNEY? Did they not see how built he was? But...it was the best idea any of them had come up with...so, he could at least try. Plus, the water was getting dangerously higher. Taking a deep breath, he dove underneath and swam over towards the chimney opening. Quote:

Constantine stood up in the pit of the fireplace, hoping that maybe...just maybe this would work...
It was too tight. With a frustrated fist pounding against the bricks, Constantine backed out and rose to the surface. He took in a masssssive deep breath as he broke the surface.
"LAWSON," he called breathlessly, leaning his head against a window. "Lawson...it won't work...the opening is too small, mate...that's it..." Quote:
Originally Posted by Tailzinator Constantine closed his eyes as the water levels neared the top of the hut. He was running out of air space, losing oxygen. From what he could hear, they were going to make a one last ditch effort to get him out, but his fear was if they would get him out in time.
'Please work...' he thought desperately, opening his eyes again. There was little space left...With one shuddering last breath out, Constantine took a deep breath in and then was completely submerged in the water. His body slowly fell to the floor of the hut, his mind reeling with worries.
His body reached the bottom of the hut and laid down, in an attempt to conserve air. His eyes spotted the small teddy bear that Madison had sent him floating a little ways away; he reached out and grabbed it, holding on tight. Now...all he could do was wait and try to stay conscious.
But the longer they took, the more he felt himself blacking out. Quote:

Originally Posted by Tailzinator Waning in and out of consciousness, Constantine felt somebody grab his arm and pull him...somewhere. Was he dead yet? He felt his body hit something solid, causing him to spit out a bit of water. There was fresh air that seemed to sting everytime he took in his quick and short breathes. He was having a hard time regulating his breathing, he was shivering from being in that cold water for so long, and then there was a voice, asking him if he was alright...
Yeah, after nearly being drowned in your own living space, he was feeling mighty fantastic.
And with that, he blacked out. Quote:

With Neo, floating in front of him, Marcus made his way back to the castle and all the while thinking he was canceling his summer vacation to the Caribbean and going to the Sahara desert instead. No water for miles there. ~~~*~~~ Edit: June 22, 2009 @ 3:44 P.M. CST
The Giant Squid is begining to surface. Quote:

Originally Posted by Tailzinator Throwing another fish into the water, Constantine's eyes narrowed at the sight of suddenly choppy water. "I think this is him," he said quietly, taking a seat on the edge of the cliff and watching the water. Quote:
