Second, watching the fountain was actually quite boring. It acted like an ordinary fountain most of the time, and the more she looked at the creepy statues, the more she got used to them and their creepiness. So there wasn't a ton of interesting things about it really.
And third, everything and everyone else was far more interesting in comparison. Not to mention kinda adding a bunch of different variables that she couldn't control or factor in.
Every so often, some people threw in a coin or two on their way past. Did that affect the internal "timer" of the fountain to determine if it spit water at someone else? Or did someone else sitting on the edge of the fountain, like that boy over there was doing now, affect it at all? Were there two internal timers counting down? How did it know-
Water from the fountain sprayed her shirt sleeve right then, startling her. "Eep!"
But then, "Cool!"
Her experiment worked!! Kinda. Not really. Blinks.
Was she just??
As if on cue, the fountain sprayed him on the neck (good shot tbh). The boy yelped in surprise, his hand shooting to his damp neck. "What the...?" Had she done that? His cheeks flushed red and he averted his gaze, a nervous tickle rising in his tummy.
Still no sign of his mother, his eyes landed on the girl again. "How'd you um.... get it to do that?"
