And that there, it’s a rollerskate. A muddy looking garden gnome with cracks through the ceramic peeks out from a wall of dirt. There are all sorts of things here if you look closely. Of course you’ll need some light if you want to explore the tunnel.
Mmm. And you DO want to. Really. The Willow is Whomping out there, quite annoyed at all the little students who are plundering its depths.
What is that slithering sound? Is there something breathing up there? The ceiling of the tunnel is low and covered in moss and if you look ahead, well there is nothing to see except more tunnel. It seems to go on forever.
ooc: be creative as you RP making your way through the tunnel. A link will appear in this first post when we are amused enough once everyone has made their way through the tunnel.
Mmkay, one thing was for sure---this tunnel was lacking in the
lumos department, yup. It was also really damp in here which made the experience pretty creepy for LouAnn. She'd much rather have a nice little stroll to the Shrieking Shack rather than climb through the mysterious and the unknown, but she'd already gone this far. She may as well continue. Besides, she didn't think she could find her way back out the tunnel even if she wanted to. The Whomping Willow was also in a rather whomping mood at the moment, on top of that.
A few moments later, LouAnn realized she could stand, so she pushed herself off the ground and stood to her full height---which wasn't very tall at all. The second she moved forward again, she stumped her toe on some small object with wheels. "Merlin Me!" she fussed, as she fumbled for her wand. With a quick "Lumos!" the tunnel was much brighter, and LouAnn could see that the object with wheels was a rollerskate. She glared at it then moved forward again. This tunnel was just full of one surprise after another, wasn't it?
