Barrel was in the same position as Shock, only with his lollipop. His little hand could not hold onto the rim, and he ended up grabbing onto Shock's shoe. The bathtub itself was kicking around, trying to get its clawed feet hooked onto something.

"Ow!" Lock yelped, feeling Shock's full weight pulling on his tail. "Let go!"
He was desperately trying to keep his grip on the bathtub, but with Shock holding onto his tail, and Barrel holding onto her foot, the added weight was definitely not helping. Lock turned his head back, realizing in horror the awfulness of their current position. If Shock and Barrel could not hold on---as much as they fought and argued, they were a team, and he did not want to lose them.
Lock made his grip tighter. If his knuckles were not white already, they would be now.

Barrel clung tightly to Shock's shoe, half wishing they had never done this and were back home. He felt her shoe beginning to slip away from her foot and held on even tighter. He took one look at his lollipop, then let it go so he could get a better grip. He could always steal another one later.

Shock was trying just as hard as Lock to keep her grip, but with Barrel on her foot and one hand keeping her hat in place, she only had one hand to work with. The force of the vortex did not help, and she let go.
"Lock!" she screamed, as she and Barrel were both pulled back.
Where they would end up, they did not know, but for a rare instance in their lives, Lock, Shock, and Barrel had been separated.

"---Shock!" Lock cried. "Barrel!"
He released a hand to reach for them, but already they had been taken away too far for him to do anything. There was a bright light and the sound of a splash as he and the bathtub reached the end of the vortex.
For several moments, Lock lied in the back of the tub, eyes closed, feeling the tub gently bobbing up and down, before he sat up and looked around. He was in some sort of underground cavern, and the tub had landed in a river of some sort. He looked around, wondering where the vortex had taken him, before he began to wonder where the vortex had taken Shock and Barrel.

[.Sophitia Alexandria.] "I'l get that."Sophitia muttered, walking over to the stuck sword and tried to yank it loose. "My name is Sophitia,and I..."
Before she could finish, the sword came unstuck. The force and speed at which it came unstuck caused Sophitia to fall over on the floor with a small 'thump'.
"...Have a splitting headache."Sophitia thought. "You okay?" Jamie asked, collecting some of his things from the floor so the apartment would at least look slightly presentable (fat chance). "I'm Jamie. Nice to meet you." He said as he taped the first piece of paper he found over the hole in the wall - which just happened to be Erik's letter, which he had found on the floor beforre Sophitia's sudden arrival. "So, where'd you come from?" He asked, looking up at her.

"Ibarely knew the place I was coming from myself..."Sophitia muttered, geting up. "All I know is that trees could talk and something was very wrong with the cows. I had one that was trying to eat my shoes before I came here..."
'Where did that cow go?' Sophitia thought.

Luna stood up, shaking off the shock of her trip and the landing. "Well, we're not in the base anymore. I don't even think we're in JAPAN anymore." She paused and listened for a moment. "Did I just hear a cow?" Luna wondered if her sensitive hearing was going, and now she turned to face Minako.

Minako winced, feeling a severe headache start, then the dizzyness came. It took her a moment to recover, and then she stood up. "I didn't hear anything...but you're right, We've left Japan. I just wonder where we ended up."

There was a small crash as Barrel fell into something. He groaned, then grunted when Shock landed on top of him. There were some major disadvantages to being the first one through the vortex.
"Get off of meeee!" he whined.

Shock thumped his head, but complied anyway. She looked up. Wherever they were, it looked like some sort of office. They had landed on a desk and scattered papers all over. In front of them was a man with a goatee and a woman in strange warrior attire, who mentioned something about cows. She moaned.
"...What a ride..."

Lock lied back as the bathtub floated, bored. He closed his eyes, feeling the tub sway and bob with the current on the river. He yawned. The current rocked the tub, making him feel a bit drowsy, and he let himself fall asleep.
Had Lock stayed awake, he would have seen where the bathtub had ended up. Its clawed feet managed to climb onto shore, bringing the now sleeping child into an underground home. The owner was clearly a lover of music, for a massive organ rested against one wall. Parchment full of musical notes could be found scattered around, and other objects, such as mirrors, a life sized female mannequin, and a little music box with a Persian monkey on top rested in various places around the room.
The bathtub set itself in the middle of the room and stood still, as though sleeping like its owner inside.

(Just so you know, I was doing Leroux, so his organ and things are in his bed-chamber)
Fending off the cow, Erik tried to get past it so that he could get into Christine's dressing room, but the cow was likely twice the size of himself. He noticed Christine standing in the doorway and renewed his efforts to get rid of the animal. Grabbing it by the neck, he tried pulling it the rest of the way through the mirror and into the passageway. If he succeeded, he could then slip past.

Hoping it was just another pile of his stuff toppling over, Jamie turned around cautiously only to come face-to-face with two rather odd-looking children - a girl with scraggly hair and a short, pudgy boy dressed like a skeleton.
"Uhh...welcome." He said sheepishly, a bit overwhelmed.
Turning to Sophitia again, he continued, "I dunno, but I'm glad it's not here."

((I really need to read that book again. Thank you. I will remember in the future.))
Lock continued to sleep peacefully. The bathtub, on the other hand, took on a more awake state and carefully began to walk around, cautious not to wake its owner.
