He found his room. Door opened right up for him in that large green stoned chamber, but he couldn't say he slept particularly well by any means. He was still tired by the time he woke up, unsure of the correct time. Exploring the main chamber he discovered a bit of food laid out, and needless to say it was probably the worst slop he's had since he was stuck on MREs in that field mission a year back. He ate half and left it, heading back to look into the fountain. He leaned over and reached a finger in. Feels like normal water. He took a hand full and washed his hands, pulling them out and putting his wet hands to his face. That was better.

He sat at the edge, leaning his arms against his knees as he looked at the ground. He didn't know what he was supposed to do, his mind running a complete blank. So what? Explore? Figure out these damn maze like puzzles? Maybe it's just a game or something. Or maybe it's a clever death trap. He didn't have anything close to a reasonable answer, but he was hoping someone else did.

Pulling out his phone, he checked for a response to the text he had sent out to the contact labeled 'Quatre' in hopes that it was his comrade. Nothing yet. Hopefully something soon though.

"Wish I knew what the hell I'm getting into with this place."

"Alright." Ratchet took off his hat, exposing his "hair", for lack of a better word. It was almost Duo's length and a bit messy. He then took off his armor, piece by piece before taking off his boots, and body suit. He was completely naked himself, though his fur did a great job and hiding pretty much everything. And with Lombax speed he ran forward, trying to tackle Duo into the water.

He could have easily sidestepped Ratchet, letting him charge into the water. Would have also been pretty amusing to him, but he let the lombax lance him, throwing him back in. They sunk down, forcing him to swing back up to the surface. It was just shallow enough that his feet could touch the rocky floor of the pool.

He spit the water than pulled his shirt off, scrubbing the sides together and swimming back over to the tree to finish pulling his clothes together. He climbed out of the pool in one movement and put the shirt on a low branch, then dropped his pants to hang it up and do the same. That'll have to do.

From there, he turned back to face the lombax and ran to jump in. Cannon ball!

Ratchet swam back up and began to just float across the waters surface. Green eyes watched Duo as he scrubbed his clothes and hung them up. Ratchet was going to have to do that later but for now he didn't bother. He wanted to have fun. He dove back down when Duo came back with his canon ball. The Lombax quickly swam over to him, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and trying to hold him under the water. A little underwater wrestling anyone?

He's never played this way for a long time, not since he was a kid. He sunk down a few feet, a gulp of air escaping him in surprise of the lombax grabbing him. Once he realized what Ratchet was doing, however, he grinned, flipping around in his grasp and pushing against the smaller creature's chest to push him up and off, or if that doesn't work get some leverage to grapple with him.

In some ways? Ratchet was kind of like a dog. How easily he wanted to get right into a game like that? Except with the sensibilities like a human you couldn't just up and say something like that. Just gotta let him do what he does.

Ratchet swam away from Duo when he was pushed and went up towards the surface. He moved to the edge of the water and pulled his suit in, getting it wet and mimicing how he saw Duo do his before getting out of the water to hand it up. He couldn't do anything for his armor yet. Once that was done he was in the water again, floating on his back.
