[They're a few minutes in finding a nice, sort-of-dry spot beneath an overhang, setting up the tent (Ondorus is a tent-setting-up master), and tossing all the stuff in it to keep dry. He comes back sans Theo and Olivia (back in their balls), and with Sanja draped in a little shapeless plastic Pokeponcho.]
That's done with. Now - is there any place you wanted to investigate first?
[...if he didn't have someone who could make tents up by now and he had seen that, he probably would have officially made Ondorus a member of Mage vs. Wild by this point...
but well, it's a good thing he has an umbrella because he'll just be waiting in the rain for a few moments!
...Jesus Christ they make ponchos]
Well, I've explored quite a few areas in the ruins, so that's up to you, really. You haven't spent too much time here, have you?
welcome to the puzzle room. requisite oohing and aahing happens, and ondorus is being a methodical patient thing who checks out everything in the room before going for the puzzles.
You should really be careful about the puzzles, you know. They're not particularly difficult to solve, but when you do... well, I hope you have a reasonably sized Flying type.
that... is a surprisingly good way of going about that
far too practical for your average mage, but you know]
That takes care of that, then.
[...of course, not having fancy magical powers has forced him to learn how compensate with practical solutions, so he'll dig through his bag for a rope!]
[action]
Then I suppose we're starting with a blank slate.
[Theo barks lowly and continues to walk, Sanja hesitates and follows him, and Olivia lands on Ondorus' head.]
-I should find a place to set this down.
[action]
[...ah. yeah. you do that...]

[Hence the excited glimmer in his eyes now. oh boy oh boy we're being archaeologists
Ondorus is holding a notebook close to himself, under his cape.]
I recall there was a relatively intact structure further south. Let's have a look inside that one.
[action]
[...he's not bitter at all... well, the second time he went through Violet it wasn't too bad, but...]
That's perfectly fine by me.
[action]
welcome to the puzzle room. requisite oohing and aahing happens, and ondorus is being a methodical patient thing who checks out everything in the room before going for the puzzles.
...has he had a camera this whole time?]
[action]
Or maybe he's being impatient because he's been here before.
Given the kind of person he is, he does start tapping his foot impatiently after a few minutes, though he doesn't actually say anything about it.]
[action]
so is there going to be any warning about the floor or]

[Ondorus glances back, in the middle of sliding some tiles around experimentally. He looks puzzled.]
Why...
[He blinks. He looks up. There's nothing th-
(wait)
He...
...looks down....]
[action]
[action]
Thank you.
[now how to deal with this. maybe he could...]
Sanja, can you help me with this?
[And so they set about solving the puzzle, Ondorus giving directions and safely floating thing pushing the tiles around.
