So! There are apparently giant caverns under the mansion! Giant caverns that need to be explored, for that matter.

Any time I think we're nearer to having this place mapped, new things pop up out of nowhere! It would be frustrating if it weren't so amazing.

I think I want to go exploring. Who's coming with me? There's probably something incredible down there, come on! Let's go! Right now! I wonder what's down there...do we need to bring anything? Maybe food incase we get lost...this is going to be great.

Absolutely! We could make a party of it. A spelunking party.

I'll go get my galoshes and my coat and my flashlight...and my divining twig.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Divining twig?

I think I'll just bring my wand. It'll all I'll probably need.

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's magic too!

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Really? Are you a little witch then?

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Dad called me a Twitchy Witchy girl when I was little...

But I think it was really just a silly song.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

That's a shame! You'd probably make a pretty good witch. I could see you walking around Hogwarts with the best of them.

I've never heard a of a song like that though.

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Hogwarts? Is that an animal disease? Like Mad Cow?

I'd like to be a witch! It'd make life much more exciting.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

It's not a disease! It's a magic school for witches and wizards. Everyone is separated into houses and we're taught all kinds of different magic. It's a great place.

I don't know about that! Muggle life sounds like it's exciting too, in its own way.

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Oh. So its like a boarding school? I've always thought a boarding school would be neater than going and coming from home.

Muggle-life? Is that...not-witch life? It's not. It's pretty dullsville. Unless you wander in on some magic, like I did.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

That's right. We're sorted off and stay with our houses for the year. It's fun, but you miss you're family when you're away that long too.

That's right. But you have plenty of things we don't, like that...electricity thing, and cars, and someone here told me that muggles figured out how to go into outer space! That's pretty impressive, if you ask me.

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

I guess so. I miss my family now, and its only been a month, but I think that's mostly 'cause I'm afraid I'll be stuck here for two whole yeaaaars

Oh! Yeah, I guess that's sort of neat. Car rides are boring, unless you're going someplace new. And that's right, there are spaceships. Only astronauts with special training get to go up in them, though.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. I miss mine too, and it's been...well it hasn't been two years, I can say that. I came here last March, so...nine months or so?

Car rides aren't boring when you don't usually ride in them! And I'm sure driving is probably exciting. And I'm sure I could pass any kind of silly space tests they've got, if it meant being able to explore out there!

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's still a really long time.

There's a lot of explorers in this place. Maybe the mansion really likes our kind of people.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Hm...maybe it does! But here are a lot of boring people who don't like adventure much as well.
