| | Corridor to the Depths Behind one of the doors off the main hall is a corridor leading down to the vaults. They are made of rough hewn stone and are dimly lit, torches sit in iron brackets along the length of the corridor. The passage way slopes downwards and the stone floor has been worn smooth by centuries of use.
The corridor is long, it takes about ten minutes to reach the tracks at the bottom. When you reach the bottom, in the company of a Goblin, you will be helped into a cart and your journey down to your vault will begin, twisting and turning and dropping miles below the ground. ooc: your post will be deleted if you post here without being escorted by a Goblin. You must post in the Gringotts Main Hall and wait for a Gringotts Goblin to lead your character here.
Once you post here, you will be linked to your character's vault thread, which is specifically for you. When not in use, the vault thread will be moved back into our storage. |

Katrina followed the little goblin to this corridor place. Uhm... odd. She looked around, not sure what to do. She lifted her hand to tug on a loose lock of blonde hair. She waited there, someone get her to her destination soon please. She did not like it here.

"What is my vault number, Mr. Goblin Sir?" he asked as eagerly politely as possible.

Jamie had followed the Goblin into the darkened corridor. She looked left and right wondering where exactly they were going. All she wanted was to put gold into her vault, save it till she needed. Jamie shivered and pulled her warm jumper closer to her body - thinking. "Excuse me?" She asked, tapping the goblin softly on the shouder, "Is it always cold down here?" She asked next watching him for an answer. She sighed, "And what's my vault number sorry?" She also asked.

Trixie took the wand from the young girl and looked it over carefully and compared it to what was written on the paperwork. She handed it back to the girl and smiled, "Let's go to the carts."
Cassandra followed Trixie towards the carts and waited. She's so excited that she's going to get her vault. But did it have to be so scary down here?

Following behind the goblin, Elinor replaced her wand back into the holster at her hip. It was chilly, but she knew that it was much colder down below. Not that she minded much. She switched the briefcase from one hand to the other as she walked, finally done taking sharp glances over her shoulder.

Sturnik looked back to make sure the pretty witch was following him. He tried not to waddle, but that was doomed to fail as goblins waddled. They descended the stairs and the air chilled instantly. They reached the bottom of the stairs and he whistled for a cart.
It zoomed straight out of the gloom and came to an abrupt stop. He opened the door and stood back, "After you Miss," he said sweetly. It would be a short trip to her vault. ooc: please post in the given thread

Emily followed the Goblin through one of the doors leading off the hall. It was dark and dimly lit. Kind of scary.
"14 is my lucky number!" she said stupidly, trying to take her mind off the long corridor.
"How do we get to my vault?"

His favorite part! Teehee.

"A cart ride? That sounds fun!" Emily said walking down the steps slowly as it was quite hard to see. "Is it sort of like a rollercoaster? That's what my sister said."
She didn't know what to expect, but it coudn't be any worse than a rollercoaster, right?

He tee-hee'd to himself and hurried over to the waiting cart. "After you!" the young goblin bubbled, gesturing toward the cart for Miss Smith to enter first. ooc: go ahead and post in the linked thread. =)

Selina followed the small goblin as he hopped down from his desk. From the grand and luxurious hall with golden tresses the corridor turned to stone and dimly lit pathways. In a matter of moments the Gringotts experience was very different.
The small goblin in front of her moved with a kind of ease about the journey. Like he knew these hallways as well as his own. This fact eased her dread slightly.
Then a crash was heard and Selina jumped. The small girl ran to the goblin and grasped his hand tightly. Noticing the tight proximity she pulled away embarrassed and blushing. That was not very adult of her.

"This way," she grunted, signaling for the girl to follow her to the depths. ooc: please post in the given thread. =) Bonnie followed the creepy goblin down to the depths. It was cold and dark and even creepier than the goblin. Woah. Crazed!Girl didn't like it at all.

It took off again as usual, one speed and one speed only, and raced around the winding, dipping track until they were back at the corridor to the depths. Emily held her breath as the cart sped around the tracks and back to the corridor to the depths.
As she got out of the cart she turned and asked the goblin something that she had been wanting to ask "So... do you enjoy working here?" she said "It would be fun to go on those carts everyday!"

That was not very adult of her. Amshel had jumped at the same crash Selina heard, he just... didn't make his sudden bout of nerves as noticeable. Chuckling reassuringly as the human grabbed his hand, Amshel gave hers a squeeze and then let her go.
"No worries, miss, I'm not too fond of those stairs either!" Amshel held their lantern up higher as they neared the carts and waited for one to zoom up. ooc: go ahead and post here next! Quote:

Heh. "This way," she continued on, holding a lantern aloft so the wizard girl could see a cart waiting for them. ooc: post there next. Quote:

Politely waiting for the human to hop out first, Amshel nodded and then sent the cart back on its way. "I love it at Gringotts!" he squeaked enthusiastically, picking up a lantern to lead the way back up the long stairs.
"The carts are the best part!" Besides getting to see all the different types of currency. "Did you enjoy the ride?!" ooc: you can reply to this back at Window 2, where we started. =D

Di followed the goblin all the way until they have reached the deep corridors of Gringotts. She didn't really know what to do or expect and so just keep her mouth shut and followed as she was told to do.

Amaria follows the goblin down the dark and somewhat scary corridor. Vault 502 she thinks. This will be exciting to put her stuff in the vault. She clutches her small silk bag with an undetectable engorgment charm on it. It has every single one of her valubles.

It was a fast moving day for Bok and she had barely enough time to think about inviting Sturnik to lunch. It gave her butterflies in her stomach. She waddled down the stairs toward the carts. One just took off with a goblin and a customer so they had to wait for a new cart to whistle to a stop in front of them. She opened the door and stood back, "After you my dear." she told her with a nod.

"All right, that'll do." She snapped out of the wand-worshipping trance and flicked the wand back at the boy as if it had done something to personally offend her. In another abrupt movement that displayed the age and creakiness of her joints, Gerda hopped off her stool and moved around the counter.
She waddled off toward the depths of Gringotts, pausing only at the threshold of the stairs there to look expectantly back over her shoulder.
"Well c'mon then, you, git o'er here." Grabbing his wand as it was flicked back at him, Jake looked monumentally confused and kinda grossed out for a moment before he followed the goblin. As they entered the corridor he put his wand back into its holster and looked all the way down there at the goblin. "Did you just sniff my wand?"
Goblins were weird.

ooc: Please follow the link to the appropriate thread and a goblin with a cart will be right with you Nika nodded her head and walked in "that" direction. She looked around cheerfully for another goblin. She braided some of her newly dyed hair while waiting and hummed a silly little tune. Nika was never the impatient type.

Some time later, grumbling as her knees creaked with age and a tiring work day, Bijou made her way down the dark corridor for the umpteenth time. Hauling herself inside a stationary cart, she waited for a wizard or witch to approach.
Spying a young girl not too far off, she crooked a long talon-like fingernail at her and asked. "Will ye' be needing to be get to yer vault?"

Waiting until the girl was safely inside the cart, Bijou snapped the door closed with a snap and turned to give her a withering look. "Please keep yer arms and legs inside the cart at all times as Gringotts is not responsible for any loss of limbs, injuries, fatalities and/or mild diarrhea that might occur as a result of the breakneck speeds." It'd been known to happen...not a pretty sight. Not at all.
Everyone signed the withdrawal slip after all without taking the time to read the miniature writing. It distinctly held Gringotts not liable you see. Not liable for anything at all.
Without waiting for a response, since it wasn't a question more of a warning, Bijou gave an unrecognizable hand gesture not even bobbing or jerking at the sudden response of the cart. One second it was stationary, the next moving forward at speeds that would put a broom to shame down the track into the darkness. Entering a steep decline, it picked up even more speed and the journey down to the vaults began.

Slowly taking one step in front of another she walked down the steps to where the carts were. Why didn't they have more light down here?! |
