She stepped out of the vault and closer towards the cart, knowing that the vault needed to be closed.

Arjuna grinned at the photogenic comment but shook her head. "Oh no, I quite disagree! I thank you." Arjuna thought for a minute before slipping her camera into her purse again. "You are right. I'm sure the exposure is better in the Main Hall. Thank you again!" She seemed to be saying that a lot lately.

Quazi bowed her head slightly as she lead the way back to the cart. Waiting for Miss Fonseka to get in first, she soon entered the cart and settled in. "Far to dark down here," she nodded as the cart began it's journey back to the surface. "Most pictures don't turn out all that well down in the vaults. Security protocol. No pictures to be taken in the vaults. Sturnik is very strict about that." There was said to be a charm on the vault, only specialised camera were about to take photos in the vaults all others would only produce nothing but darkness.

Sitting back, Quazi put her feet up. The ride back wouldn't take long but it was nice to still put her feet up. The thirty some journey to the main hall really wasn't bad as compared to some of the other journeys Quazi had taken today.

Though the carts did take rather sharp turns, Elinor wasn't the slightest bit bothered, preferring to cling to the briefcase than to the side of the cart. The initial jolt was a bit disorienting, but nothing she couldn't handle. The chill, however, was indeed uncomfortable. The constant motion of the cart made keeping body heat impossible. She had forgotten that since her last visit.

The cart rocked back and forth on the tracks, a motion Sturnik found relaxing. He turned to look back at Elinor shivering slightly. "Are you cold?" he asked shrugging out of his Gringotts vest and offering it to her. It was cold down here, why didn't they ever install heating?

It was a rather short trip down to her vault. It wasn't one of the deep ones, and she looked like she wouldn't have survived one of those trips anyways.

The cart came to an abrupt stop and Sturnik hopped out of the cart and waddled over to her vault door. The brazened 444 stood out sharply against the blackness of the vault door. He took her key and turned it in the lock while stroking a finger down the door jam. It was unnecessary for a vault at this level but he was trying to impress Elinor. He stood back with a flourish, "You're vault." he said with a lopsided smile on his face.

Elinor's head turned quickly, his question barely audible over the rushing wind past her ears. He offered her the vest, and even though she probably could've done without it, she did not decline it, giving a nod of thanks. Yes, it was terribly small, but the vest folded neatly over both arms if she kept them together in her lap.

When the cart stopped, she folded the vest neatly, setting it next to her before she stepped onto the stone walkway. Elinor smiled and responded to his flourish with a small bow at the waist, "Thank you."

Her business was short. Setting the briefcase on one of the low shelves, she popped the locks and withdrew an ivory box, two manilla folders, and a pair of elbow-length leather gloves, which were folded and held together with twine. Closing the case, she stepped back out of the vault, glad it was all finally done with. So long as these things were here, there was nothing...much...to worry about.

"Thank you again, Mr...?"

He beamed when she accepted his vest. Well now, he could properly court her now. Everyone knew if you accepted a gift from a goblin you enter into a contract with them. This day was getting better and better.

He waited back while she conducted her business. Goblins had a point never to see what was in their vaults. They didn't care frankly. He nodded when she stepped out. He moved to close the door and lock it. "You can call me Sturnik my dear," he reply with a toothy grin. He waddled back over to cart and stood back for her to climb in. "After you," he offered. They were on their way back to the staircase.

Lyra followed behind as she was lead to where the carts were. She was curious to see where her vault would be.

Trixie hopped into the cart and slid over to the far side, leaving room for the young woman to sit beside her. "Come. Take a seat and be sure to keep all body parts inside the cart." She turned and looked at the lady with a bright smile. "Wouldn't want you going home missing anything, now would we?"

Lyra's enthusiasm slightly faded when the woman warned her to keep all her body parts in the cart...but she wasn't about to back out. She took the offered seat and carefully made sure that not a single part of her, removable or not, was left hanging out the cart. She simply wanted to make sure.

"Right then let's gooooooooooooooo." The cart had taken off at break neck speed. Twisting and turning through all the tunnels, going deeper and deeper underground. "Watch your head there Miss, the ceiling is quite low in this part." Trixie of course didn't have that problem because she was a wee little goblin.

After about an hour they came to a screeching halt. Trixie turned to the young woman, "Well what are you waiting for? Get out."

Lyra shakily got out of the cart and looked up and down the dark corridor filled with vaults "Which one is mine?" She asked politely

"Why the one that says 408 silly." Trixie peered at the woman a little more closely. "You do know how to read numbers, right?" The goblin shook her head and hopped out of the cart and trotted over to the vault. She ran her long knobbly finger down the door and then pulled a key out of her pocket and unlocked the door. "Your vault madame." She said with a low bow and waved the woman towards the open door.

Jesse_Longbottom · 12-06-2010, 07:00 AM

Jesse got into the cart as told, but regretted it the moment it started going. Ugh. This is worse than the Hulk Rollercoaster he went on with his dad last year. He didn't like the way that Goblin's eyes had looked earlier and now he knew why. Oh boy! He thought as they took a rather annoying jerk to the left and back to the right. How long would this take? He thought as he tried to hold down his lunch.

Gerda's mischievous look grew into an evil smirk and she hopped in the cart in front of the boy. "Hold on tight, keep your 'ands and 'eet inside at all times, and don't upchuck on me. Any questions?"

Too late if he did have any. The cart started at one speed, and one speed only, and took off up and down and up down hill after hill. It took the curves at the same speed, jerking both goblin and human left and then right and then past a red blur that could have been a dragon breathing fire.

After about twenty minutes, the cart came to a screeching stop and Gerda hopped out more agile than seemed possible. "Vault 200, 'ere you are. And 'ere's your key." Gerda bowed her head and held out a little copper key for the boy to take to his vault.

She'd be watching him make his deposit.

Lyra turned a light shade of pink and said "Sorry, I didn't see." Then she watched as the goblin unlocked the vault and let her in. She stepped inside, dropped a couple of bags of galleons which she had placed in her purse and straightened up. Then she looked at the contents of the vault quickly before stepping out once again. "Thank you." She said with a nod

Trixie gave a dismissive wave of her hand at the embarrassed look on the woman's face. She supposed it was dark down here, but having worked here for years Trixie was used to it. The little goblin lent up against the wall and waited while the lady made her deposit into her vault.

She straightened up when the woman reappeared and gave her smile. "No problems, that is what I am here for." Trixie closed the vault door and then turned the key locking it before handing it over to the woman. "Here. This is your key to the vault. Be sure to bring it with you next time you need to make a deposit or withdrawal." She gestured for the woman to head back to the cart. And before she too headed back to the cart, Trixie snapped her long fingers, re-setting the protection charms on the vault.

Sheridan followed the cutie-pie goblin, smiling at him before ungainly clambering into the waiting cart...fail. Her face screwed up as she concentrated on not falling off, she sat down in the little rusty cart and placed her bag by her feet, before waiting for the goblin to come over and get the journey started, where to? She asked, as she waited

Amshel was usually a nice, polite young goblin. The only exception to his good-nature was when the humans would climb into the infamous Gringotts carts. They were just so... so... uncoordinated, for lack of a better term, and never prepared for the rollercoaster-like journey.

Poor things. Amshel couldn't help but giggle softly as the girl sat down, making a face. He shook his little head and his ears wobbled to and fro as he himself leaped over the side of the cart and smoothly landed in front of her.

"To vault 466, of course!" the goblin squeaked and tapped the side of the cart with one long finger. It took off so fast the girl's hair was sure to fly back from her head... but Amshel was too eagerly watching the cart's path up and down and around bend after bend to notice.

Sheridan nodded, quite envious that he had grace at all times...buh he was soo cuuttte! 466, off we go she smiled, oh nooo she thought as her stomach turned over uncontrolably, as she felt her face go a nasty puce colour...oooh this was HORRIBLE! She scrunched up her face as she tried to restrain the urge to chuck up, she felt her hair practically seperate from her head at the speed and pleaded the journey would hurry up

Amshel turned his head back toward the little girl only once on their journey underground. The cart continued along at its one speed, and one speed only. After just over an hour's journey, the cart came to a screeching halt and Amshel deftly hopped over the side.

"Vault 466," he announced proudly, standing perfectly still by the edge of the door. He ran his finger along the new vault, releasing the charms that had been upon it previously, and then pulled out a small iron key for Miss Smith.

Now for her deposit....! The young goblin bounced on his toes in anticipation.

Lyra smiled gratefully as she took the key from the goblin. Then she mentally frowned when it was time to get back into the cart. Oh no...But she'd rather ride the cart all day long then get stuck down here.

So with a sigh, she stepped back into the cart and waited for the goblin to join her

Sheridan stood up, her head spinning slightly as she let her stomach settle so she wouldn't either throw up or faint off the otherside of the cart and that would be..just bad she thought grimmly, once she was steadied she stepped onto the platform and shook her head, huh, oh right she said once she saw the open vault, she pulled open her handbag, ready for this? she asked taking out the large bag of galleons

"Oh I'm always ready, miss!" Amshel squeaked and rocked to and fro as he studied the human's nauseous face. Oooh boy, he sure hoped she didn't throw up on that big bag of money.

Still rather bubbly from the cart ride, Amshel nodded and pressed the small key into her hand. He didn't move from his guardian position outside the vault but did crane his head a little to try to see inside. Just making sure all her galleons got to the right place!

city_girl_95 · 12-09-2010, 08:40 PM

Sheridan took the key and restrained the urge to give him a HUUUGGGEEE hug..because that was unprofessional. Walking forward she opened up the vault and turned around, checking no one was looking, she frowned a little at the goblin trying to look inside but a nice frown, she smiled at him, before pilling the thousands of galleons her mother had told her to put in the vault, plus the odd jewel or two. When she was finished she stepped out of the vault

Amshel went back to not-watching-but-still-watching the little girl put her money away. He didn't try to peek at her vault any more until he heard her footsteps exiting.

"All done?" he piped up, turning his head just slightly toward the customer. "Don't forget to lock up!"

city_girl_95 · 12-09-2010, 09:11 PM

Yep she nodded, smiling at the ickle one, she locked it and placed her key into her purse, zipping it up before putting it into her handbag, she nodded and turned bac, all done she grinned
