Andronicus snorted at Themi, grinning at the Martian. Gotta love that wit. She glanced to the side and found a panel. "That would be it." The Page walked over and blinked at it for a few moments. Couldn't ruddy read it. Well that was incredibly helpful.
"I.... choose... you." The Page jabbed the panel in the space she assumed would be "down" or "drain" and turned back to the pool to see it if did much of anything.
He made sure to keep a lookout for the suggestions that he heard, though there didn't seem to be anything more in the room that the long tables up ahead. The drinking the lake comment got a chuckle out of the guy, though. "I don't think that's even possible, but I'd pay to see someone try," he said, grinning, then tried to focus and get a good look around.
Ashur kept his eyes peeled, his eyes briefly glancing back to catch Themi walking into the room. She looked a right mess, miserable and cold -- he didn't blame her. Couldn't, actually. They just got ice water dunked on them, and she was in a toga sort of uniform, of all things. The Squire snorted and, without giving it much thought at all, powered down for all of a second before powering right back up to get a fresh uniform. "For you, kind of?" he smirked as he unbuckled the scarf that hooked over his shoulder and tossed it to her. "Here."
The squire went as far as undoing his vests and taking off the long sleeve he had on underneath, then handed that to her as well before redressing and readjusting his uniform. He left her to do with that what she would, but he gave her a small smile before turning his attention back to the room.
Andronicus, he noticed as he readjusted the staff slung across his back, jabbed at a panel that he'd missed, beside which was a picture or something of...water? Maybe. He couldn't really be sure, but when he was comfortable again he walked over. "Nice find," and he gave her a soft clap on the shoulder. "Let's hope you hit the right switch, then."
Errrrrbody
Sorry lots of quotes. I derped on more than a couple of things. xP;;
At first, Megiddo saw the panel and was all "******** sweet, a language I actually speak." Except then she got closer and tried to read it, and realized that even though the letters were recognizable, the words they made were not. Kind of like thinking you could read German just because it used the same alphabet as English. So it looked like they were going to play a guessing game and hope they didn't get more freezing water dumped on their heads.
Okay. Cool.
Before Megiddo could make her first selection, Andronicus came up beside her and jabbed the panel. The results appeared to be positive, and Megiddo boggled at her.
"How the ******** did you do that?" she asked. "Are you magic." Well, of course she was, but that wasn't the point Megiddo was making.

"Ohh." This room was kind of neat, a second device piece, long tables that were used for something. The page looked impressed as she followed the group and watched as one of them biped the screen apparently hitting something that reacted now what was the question.
"As long as we don't seen out the kraken or something. Sirens might be just as bad, though mermaids? Depends on what cannon they're from." She mused as she inspected the box of the second device piece. She wondered if the others had two or if it was just them.
The deep bowl of the reservoir is draining, slowly, a dull roar of rushing water. In the end, there is a slow curve down to the last six feet of icy water, and a ladder up to the other side.
Congratulations! You're done! Please collect your second device piece and proceed to the lobby.

Well then. She snorted and raised a brow at Megiddo. "I just got lucky. " She gave a smile to Ashur who'd tried jabbing at the panel too. She waited until the water was drained before walking to the pit. Might as well go grab it.
Five minutes and six feet of freezing water later, Andronicus popped up on the other side with the device piece. She looked like a frozen drenched cat, but they were done and could get out finally. She then left the building without a second thought.
Finally.

Room 2!
Well.
That was that, the Squire figured, an amused expression playing across his features. A lot easier than they all thought it'd be -- though someone did say something about the lake possibly getting drained as the solution to their then-dilemma -- and he followed Andronicus out of the room and back toward the lake. He watched with unveiled fascination as the water drained out, then looked at the last 6 feet of water with a confused expression. It...wasn't draining?
Ash looked down at his sleeveless arms and over to Themiscyra briefly, then heaved a defeated sigh before following after the Uranus Page and diving right on in. He would have gone down to get the piece himself but, again, she beat him to it...which he was actually grateful for, though he kept that to himself. He went straight for the ladder then, and hurriedly got out of the water as soon as he was able. Ash waited, drenched and freezing, at the top of the ladder, just a bit off to the side, to offer a hand to those who might need it. They went in together, he thought it made sense if they all got out together, too.

Room 2
Buyan followed the others to room two as the reservoir drained and gave a low impressed whistle. "Luck, I do enjoy a good round of luck on occasion. It's better than no luck at all."
Of course one of the other pages dived into the freezing cold water, which was fine with Buyan. While she was from a planet of water she didn't feel like going for a swim right now after what they'd been through that was a long way down and a longgg climb up. The page was trying to judge just how deep it really was.
"I'm glad we got these! I bet the others will be glad we found all the parts too." She hummed and followed the others out of the maze and towards the lobby.
