Did they need to do that with all the coins? ALL FOUR MERMAIDS? This just wouldn't do. "Sierra, I don't think we should..." She pouted, but then realized that she was indeed a mermaid-in-training and MERMAIDS NEVER GAVE UP. It gave her the strength altogether again and she just took a deep breath while she waited for the other coins to bask in the mermaid haven.
Then the coin was off in mid-air when Sierra had tossed it.
"Have you gone mad, Sierra?! You didn't name it! Now look what she'll think when my Millicent's received a name and she hasn't!" Tututut this daughter had much to learn. "It'll feel all left out and what not."
Did she have to do everything? Merlin.
"GOODBYE AGATHA!"
Lola looked around and noticed Treyen/Train/WHATEVUHZ taking a step back. Did this mean good progress? Oh ho ho ho. When she looked back, Sierra was already prepping up to throw her last coin--"SIERRA, THE NAME!"--it was too late and her eyes were again with sorrow. "GOODBYE TILDA!" She was probably the only sane one here. Not naming your coins...? Not naming the mermaids?
She looked at the last coin. The green one... "I'll name you Madame Frumpsy..." Lola threw it with much affection and expected to be a mermaid once this coin-throwing business was all finished up.
First, Millicent. Then, Agatha before Tilda...and WHEN was Lola Jones going to toss the final coin the Fountain? When all the other coins told her to? Or when Sierra told her to?
Either way, Treyen finally watched as Madame Frumpsy (he was beyond amazement to be bothered by the names she was giving the coins) was falling, falling, falling into the glowing darkness that expected her. And we say darkness because the glowing turned to a slight dark green. Slytherin green. Before returning to its white self.
That was it.
No, no, wait for it, there's more.
Something appeared to the water surface. They should take that, it was safe to do so.

He then dropped the coins-- green first and then yellow, into the fountain and stared, watching with baited breath. "Now what?"
And once the Fountain had given the other group that object, one looking exactly like it resurfaced as the yellow glow stopped, it was meant for Salander, Caroline and Viola.
