 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
Even as she was climbing the first few, scrabbling steps, Dot glanced over her shoulder at those climbing below her and called out, "Wheeeeeeeeeeee." Just to keep 'em on their toes, y'know? She wasn't falling or free falling or even being uncautious (this girl was no Gryffindor).
But she was interested to see if anyone panicked and tried to jump out of her way. So far... no movement. Apparently, her classmates had a steadier head than she would have anticipated. That was a shame.
Oop, and it was time to pay attention, since Dot's left foot had hit air and she was clinging to some tall grass and tiny pebbles and desperate prayers. No one was going to catch her if she went rolling down into the ravine, and she'd probably actually take someone(s) with her. Bad enough to crush all your limbs, but crushing someone else was unacceptable.
Her foot found the ground, and Dot made like a jarvey and stayed close to the ground. She also thought some unkind thing about the professor, but at least she didn't say them out loud. So not exactly like a jarvey, then. Or like a very private jarvey with a color vocabulary only in her imagination.
Dot felt again for the next step and inched down further into the ravine. Getting out of this place was going to be a beast. Ugh. Terrible. She felt yet again for a step and found that she didn't have any further to go. This was... the bottom of the ravine, and she hadn't died horribly. Or taken anyone with her. Success.
