[Okay but WHY ARE THE SPRINKLERS ON in the foyer and all along the central corridors?]

[They're just ... going to keep going. And going. And going, for just over half an hour, until there are some nice puddles all over the floors.]

[For once in his life, Henry is not smiling. Instead, the little dastard is standing in the hallways looking confused and slightly wet, holding a hand out as if it's raining.]

...Where's this water coming from?

[rippers]

The sprinklers. [ in comes a lady hovering a few inches off the floor, though still as soaked as everyone ] In the ceiling. Have you not seen sprinklers before?

[anoblecaws]

Not at all.

[He doesn't as much mind the fact that she's floating. People do that sometimes. Floating happens.]

[hardertheyfall]

You mean you're not doing this? I thought this might be one of your spells.

[anoblecaws]

I can't control water without a spellbook!

[hardertheyfall]

I don't know the ins and outs of magic.

[anoblecaws]

[Henry waves a hand dismissively.] Don't worry! I don't expect you to.

[hardertheyfall]

Thanks.

[ Although now that he thinks about it... ]

If you had a spellbook, could you teach me magic?

[anoblecaws]

[Henry shrugs.]

Maybe, if you had the potential and ten years to burn! Nya ha ha!

[hardertheyfall]

You could just say "no".

[anoblecaws]

Well, I mean, if you did have the potential and ten years to burn, then we'd be in business.

[hardertheyfall]

[ Reiner stands up a little taller and flexes, which probably just looks better with his shirt wet and stuck to him. ]

I don't need magic, anyway. I have some other tricks up my sleeve.

[anoblecaws]

Oh yeah? Like what?

[hardertheyfall]

Just wait until some of the harder games come along and you might just see for yourself.

[anoblecaws]

Nya ha ha! I'm looking forward to it!

I'm also looking forward to mopping the floor with your head!

[hardertheyfall]

... What does that mean?

[isolating]

The sprinklers.

[He is a wet limp noodle.]

[anoblecaws]

[Incredible, a talking noodle!]

...Is that another technology?

[that's now how you use 'technology' in a sentence, Henry]

[isolating]

Well, yes. It's a system of water pipes in the ceiling, in case of fire emergencies.

[anoblecaws]

[That sorta-kinda makes sense... kinda.]

So then, do you have to do something to make it dump water everywhere?

[isolating]

Usually there's a lever somewhere to pull.

[anoblecaws]

...

Is it like a pulley system or something?

[isolating]

...I can't say I know too well about the mechanics behind it.

[anoblecaws]

...

Welp. [He shrugs.] If it works, it works.

[isolating]

Although regrettably all it's done right now is drench everything.
